Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori infection is linked to serious gastric issues like chronic gastritis and ulcers, with treatment often complicated by antibiotic resistance, especially in developing countries.
- This study tested a new therapy combining oral hygiene and systemic treatment, finding that using a mouthwash with neutral electrolyzed water (NEW) improved infection eradication rates significantly.
- Results showed that patients receiving the NEW therapy not only had higher eradication rates (84%-96%) but also experienced reduced recurrence rates and treatment failures.
Background: Influenza has continued to be an important public health challenge, and the WHO recommends that countries consider vaccination for persons at high risk. Mexico has such a program, and we sought to determine its current situation.
Material And Methods: This study has an ecological, longitudinal, and retrospective design based on secondary information on the acquisition and application of vaccines against influenza from official data from 2006 to 2022.
Background: In recent years in Mexico, a decreased Bacillus Calmette and Guérin (BCG) coverage has been observed concomitantly with new cases of tuberculosis.
Material And Methods: This study is a descriptive and analytical evaluation regarding both BCG vaccine acquisition and coverage as reported by official sources over a 16-year period (2006-2021).
Results: We found that vaccine acquisition, dose application and coverage are highly variable each year.
Background: Several studies have reported the following as determining factors for the adoption of healthy lifestyles among undergraduate students: gender, socioeconomic level, prior lifestyles, environment, parental lifestyles and health status, career choice, and healthy support networks. However, these factors are influenced by students' knowledge about healthy lifestyles.
Methods/design: We will carry out a randomized trial in a sample of 280 new undergraduate students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico's Faculty of Higher Studies-Zaragoza (FES-Zaragoza, UNAM).
