Importance and use of guidelines to report main types of studies in medical research.

Medical care must be supported by research that meets reliable, valid, ethical, and reproducible principles. However, an essential fraction of research carried out in the medical field is inadequately reported due to omitting relevant information when it is published. This reduces their impact and the possibility that other researchers can realize critical appraisal, thereby compromising their application within medical practice.

Cognitive dysfunction, diabetes mellitus 2 and arterial hypertension: Sequelae up to one year of COVID-19.

Background: Covid symptoms reflect its multisystem nature, in addition to its positive relationship between the severity of the condition and the severity of the long COVID.

Objective: To identify the factors associated with the prevalence of SEQUELAE DUE TO COVID-19 one year after their hospital discharge due to severe pneumonia.

Method: Longitudinal, analytical, prospective and comparative study.

[Extensions of guidelines for reporting types of study in medicine].

The use of different guides to report types of study in the medical field has been widely disseminated for decades, however, their adherence and use by an important part of researchers is still limited, this has negatively impacted the dissemination of new findings, which has generated criticism regarding how medical research is designed, conducted and reported. Parallel to this, there are extensions to these guidelines which are little known and used by the personnel involved in research work, they focus on more specific approaches to report different types of studies, among which are: meta-analysis, systematic reviews, clinical trials randomized, diagnostic accuracy studies, observational studies, among others; for this reason, its promotion, knowledge, and use is of vital importance. The objective of this review is to synthesize the main extensions of the guidelines used in medical research; for this purpose, its main characteristics were reviewed, as well as application scenarios according to the level of evidence; Its adequate adherence will allow health personnel involved in research work to increase the transparency and quality of their findings, contemplate potential sources of bias, as well as the development of good practices for the presentation of their results according to the type of study selected.

[Urinary tract infection by Candida species].

Objectives: To determine the frequency and characteristics of urinary tract infection (UTI) by Candida in diabetic patients (with and without symptoms) and to compare them with non-diabetic patients (with and without symptoms).

Design: Longitudinal, descriptive, and observational study.

Setting: Study conducted at the "Dr Ignacio Chavez" Clinic of family medicine, ISSSTE: Mexico.

[Antimicrobial sensitivity and characterization of Streptococcus pyogenes strains isoleated from a scarlatina outbreak].

Objective: To evaluate the in vitro activities of 13 antimicrobial agents against 47 group A Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) strains, and to determine the presence of genes encoding streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A (SpeA) and the M-protein serotypes.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Centro de Salud Dr. José Castro Villagrana, during a scarlet fever outbreak occurring between December 1999 and January 2000, among 137 children at Colegio Espíritu de América.
