Article Synopsis
- A study in Ucayali, Peru examined two methods for detecting soil-transmitted helminth infections in children: the old method called Kato-Katz (KK1.0) and a new method using artificial intelligence called KK2.0.
- The researchers analyzed stool samples from 510 kids aged 5-14 and found that KK2.0 could detect more cases of Ascaris lumbricoides compared to KK1.0, especially at the 30-minute mark.
- The results showed that while both methods had similar detection rates for other types of infections, KK2.0 was better at finding low levels of A. lumbricoides infection in the kids.
Background: The prevalence of superficial fungal infections in India is believed to have increased substantially in the past decade. We evaluated the treatment outcomes and risk factors associated with clinical response to a treatment course of itraconazole for the management of dermatomycosis in India.
Methods: In this real-world, prospective pilot study (August 2019 to March 2020), adult participants (18-60 years), diagnosed with T.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of and the associated factors for metabolic syndrome (MS) among Latin American HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) using baseline data from the RAPID II study.
Methods: A longitudinal study to evaluate the metabolic profile, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and associated treatment practices to reduce this risk has been conducted in seven Latin American countries (the RAPID II study). Adult HIV patients with at least six months of RT were enrolled.
Background And Aims: The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients on renal replacement has been reduced in developed countries, but information from developing nations is currently scarce and high prevalence rates are suspected. We undertook this study to analyze the prevalence of HBV infection and identify risk factors associated with it in a sample of Mexican hemodialysis patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in patients on hemodialysis in Mexico.
Objective: Determine the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities (MA) and estimate the 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Latin American HIV-infected patients receiving highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART).
Methods: A cohort study to evaluate MA and treatment practices to reduce CVD has been conducted in seven Latin American countries. Adult HIV-infected patients with at least one month of HAART were enrolled.
