Background: Chlamydia trachomatis infection in women has been strongly associated with early membrane rupture and pre-term labor; however, the evidence linking Chlamydia trachomatis infection and early miscarriage is inconsistent.
Objective: To determine if there is an association between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and early abortion in a group of women from Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Material And Methods: 108 early abortion product samples were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction technique, along with 42 samples that belonged to 42 patients with a normal pregnancy, in order to determine the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the link between red cell distribution width (RDW) and short-term mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
- Out of 78 patients followed for three months, those with high RDW (>15) had a significantly higher mortality rate (47.2%) compared to those with low RDW (10.2%).
- High RDW was found to be an independent predictor of mortality, indicating its potential as a useful marker for assessing risk in these patients.
Purpose: To analyze the expression of 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), 2 factors in the unfolded protein response (UPR), in age-related and diabetes-associated cataract.
Setting: Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, México.
Design: Experimental study.
Background: A prospective, non-randomised, transversal and comparative study, carried out in INOVA Vision Institute and Autonomous University of Aguascalientes. Pterygium is an important illness that affects 22% people from tropic and equatorial zones. Is an inflammatory process caused by UV rays, and it has a behavior similar to a neoplasm.

Tobacco lines expressing the foreign gene at varying levels were examined for resistance against TEV and PVY infection. There was a clear, direct correlation between the level of oryzacystatin message, inhibition of papain (a cysteine proteinase), and resistance to TEV and PVY in all lines tested.
