Diagnostic Efficacy of Bone SPECT Techniques in Differentiating Unilateral and Bilateral Condylar Hyperplasia.

This analytical cross-sectional study evaluates diagnostic approaches for active condylar hyperplasia using bone SPECT techniques. : it was compared the effectiveness of relative activity assessments between condyles and quantitative analysis using the condyle/clivus ratio. : This study's findings reveal that the condyle/clivus ratio method significantly outperforms the relative uptake method, achieving a sensitivity of 90.

A case report of fat embolism syndrome: Treatment and neurological and cognitive rehabilitation.

Se reporta el proceso de recuperación y rehabilitación neurológica y cognitiva de una mujer joven que desarrolló un síndrome de embolia grasa con repercusiones neurológicas, después de sufrir un politraumatismo. La paciente era una mujer de 21 años de edad con fractura cerrada de húmero y fémur izquierdos, que presentó un síndrome de embolia grasa, neumotórax izquierdo e hipertensión pulmonar, en las primeras 24 horas después de un accidente. Estuvo hospitalizada un mes y quedó con varios déficits neurológicos centrales, como infartos 'lacunares' y necrosis cortical laminar occipital, así como limitaciones en la bipedestación, la marcha, la visión y las funciones cognitivas.

Genetic variability of Aedes aegypti in the department of Sucre, Colombia, by analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial ND4 gene.

Introduction. Aedes aegypti is the most important mosquito species in America for the transmission of viruses of dengue, Zika, Chikungunya and yellow fever. Ecological factors as well as chemical controls can affect the genetic composition of Ae.

[First report of the F1534C mutation associated with cross-resistance to DDT and pyrethroids in Aedes aegypti from Colombia].

The main strategy for the control of Aedes aegypti, vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses, is based on the use of insecticides to reduce its populations. However, their use has led to insect resistance to these chemicals. Objective: To determine the presence of the F1534C mutation associated with cross-resistance to DDT and pyrethroids in A.

[Inhibitory activity of dihydroxy-phenyl-propenone on betalactamase of Enterobacter cloacae : preliminary study for drug development to overcome bacterial resistance. ].

Introduction: Enterobacter cloacae is a pathogenic microorganism with the ability to produce betalactamase enzymes, which makes them resistant to betalactamic antibiotics. Additionally, the limited activity of enzymatic inhibitors has been identified, and, therefore, the design of new drugs and the promotion of their rational use are the only possibilities to overcome this problem.

Objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of dihydroxy-phenyl-propenone on a clinical isolate of E.

[Genetic differences between populations of Aedes aegypti from municipalities in northern Colombia, with high and low dengue incidence].

Introduction: Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of dengue in urban areas. Despite its epidemiological importance, the genetic variability of Colombian populations of this species is unknown.

Objetive: To determine the genetic variability of mitocondrial gene ND4, which codes for subunit 4 of the enzyme NADH deshydrogenase, between populations of Ae.

[Assessment of nutritional education and iron supplement impact on prevention of pregnancy anemia].

Introduction: Iron and folic acid deficiencies are the major causes of health problems among pregnant women and children, with a significant negative impact on economic and social development.

Objective: From April 2002 to April 2003 at the Gilberto Mejía Mejía Hospital (Rionegro, Antioquia), the prenatal program was assessed for its impact on a cohort of pregnant women concerning knowledge of the following nutritional parameters: iron and folic acid functions, their source foods and bioavailability, supplement intake and tolerance, and globular indexes.

Methods: A sample of 42 pregnant women was subjected to a nutritional education program along with the administration of a supplement consisting of 60 mg elemental iron, 400 microg folic acid, and 70 mg vitamin C.
