Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne illness with substantial economic and societal impact. Understanding laboratory trends of hospitalized Dominican Republic (DR) pediatric patients could help develop screening procedures in low-resourced settings. We sought to describe laboratory findings over time in DR children with DF and DF severity from 2018 to 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • Creatine supplementation can enhance anaerobic performance and recovery, but its effects specifically on women have not been thoroughly studied until this research.
  • This study examined how creatine monohydrate affects exercise recovery and repeated sprint performance in women during different phases of their menstrual cycle, with a focus on heart rate variability (HRV).
  • Results showed that while HRV was unaffected by creatine, women in the high hormone phase who took creatine had a notable reduction in fatigue compared to those who did not, suggesting potential benefits for female athletes during this phase.

We performed an observational cohort study to assess associations between genetic factors of dengue fever (DF) severity in children in the Dominican Republic. A total of 488 participants had serologically confirmed DF. We replicated the association between the IFIH1 gene (rs1990760) and severe DF (n = 80/488, p = 0.
