Article Synopsis
- The study investigates genetic alterations in pediatric B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) in Mexican patients, focusing on their impact on prognosis and treatment.
- A total of 206 patients were analyzed, revealing a notable 21.8% prevalence of specific genetic profiles linked to poorer outcomes and indicating higher risk stratification among the affected.
- The findings suggest that these genetic markers significantly influence overall survival, with variations in mutation frequency compared to other populations, highlighting the need for genomic considerations in treatment strategies.
Implementation of a roadmap for the comprehensive diagnosis, follow-up, and research of childhood leukemias in vulnerable regions of Mexico: results from the PRONAII Strategy.

April 2024
The main objective of the National Project for Research and Incidence of Childhood Leukemias is to reduce early mortality rates for these neoplasms in the vulnerable regions of Mexico. This project was conducted in the states of Oaxaca, Puebla, and Tlaxcala. A key strategy of the project is the implementation of an effective roadmap to ensure that leukemia patients are the target of maximum benefit of interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, clinicians, surveyors, and laboratories.

- Acute leukemias (AL) are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children under 20 in Mexico, particularly noted in the central-south region, which has been previously understudied compared to Greater Mexico City.
- A population-based study conducted from 2021-2022 identified 388 new cases of AL among children in Puebla, Tlaxcala, and Oaxaca, calculating various incidence rates using demographic data.
- The overall age-standardized incidence rate was around 51.5 cases per million children, with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia being the most prevalent subtype, revealing trends and differences in leukemia incidence among the states.
Background: A variety of bacterial and fungal co-infections may be attributed to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), particularly in people who already have a medical condition such diabetes mellitus or those who received large dosages of steroids.
Case Report: We described a 52-year-old diabetic man who was receiving high doses of dexamethasone and antibiotics while receiving ambulatory care for COVID-19 pneumonia. His anterior rhinoscopy revealed a necrotic scab, and a sample confirmed Mucor spp.
Traditional fermented foods and beverages play an important role in a range of human diets, and several experimental studies have shown their potential positive effects on human health. Studies from different continents have revealed strong associations between the microorganisms present in certain fermented foods (e.g.
