Anthropometric Studies of Schoolchildren During the First Decades of the 20th Century in Spain and Argentina.

Objective: The practice of anthropometry in schools at the beginning of the 20th century originated in Europe and Latin America in conjunction with the emergence of hygienism and epidemiological auxology. The aim of this work is to deepen the knowledge of these practices in Spain and Argentina and to compare the available growth data in order to identify possible differences between the populations.

Methods: The anthropometric data of 1693 boys and girls aged 7-15 years (877 Spanish; 816 Argentinean) from the period between 1903 and 1913 were analyzed.

Encapsulation of Phenolic Compounds Extracted from Beet By-Products: Analysis of Physical and Chemical Properties.

Beet is a nutritious and health-promoting food with important bioactive compounds in its industrial by-products. The encapsulation of antioxidants from beet by-products has been proposed for valorization. For this, an ethanol-water extract was mixed with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (used as a carrier agent) and then encapsulated.

Synergistic efficacy of ceftazidime/avibactam and aztreonam against carbapenemase-producing : insights from the hollow-fiber infection model.

Background: Combination therapy is an attractive therapeutic option for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) infections. Existing data support the combination of aztreonam and ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) against class serine-β-lactamase (SBL)- and metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) - producing However, data about that combination against SBL- and MBL-producing are scarce. The objective of the study was to assess the activity of CZA and aztreonam alone and in combination against SBL- and MBL-producing XDR isolates.

Management of Vertebral Defects, Anal Atresia, Cardiac Defects, Tracheoesophageal Fistula or Atresia, Renal Anomalies, and Limb Abnormalities (VACTERL) in a Child With Complex Medical Needs in the Foster Care System: A Pediatric Case Study.

Vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula or atresia, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities (VACTERL) association is a complex congenital condition characterized by the presence of malformations that affect various organ systems. Most children born with VACTERL association require surgery shortly after birth, often undergoing multiple procedures during infancy, which can lead to a wide range of physical challenges. The unique combination of malformations in these children in addition to having complex care needs that need to be met can result in physical and social difficulties in their daily lives, affecting both their own and their caregivers' quality of life.
