Variations in Some Features of Oral Health by Personality Traits, Gender, and Age: Key Factors for Health Promotion.

: Oral diseases remain among the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide, affecting almost half of the world's population. This is partly because there has been a separation of the mouth from the rest of the body and human health, and psychological aspects such as personality, thoughts, and emotions are not taken into account in the dental office. The objective was to analyze the relationship between oral health conditions and personality traits in adult patients who underwent dental treatment at the Center for Health Studies and Services.

Use and Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques to Discern the Protein Patterns of Autoantibodies Present in Women with and without Breast Pathology.

Breast cancer (BC) has become a global health problem, ranking first in incidence and fifth in mortality in women around the world. Although there are some diagnostic methods for the disease, these are not sufficiently effective and are invasive. In this work, we discriminated between patients without breast pathology (BP), with benign BP, and with BC based on the band patterns obtained from Western blot strip images of the autoantibody response to antigens of the T47D tumor line using and comparing supervised machine learning techniques to have a sensitive and accurate method.

Performance of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in Oncopediatric Patients in an Oncology Unit in Cali, Colombia: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study.

Background: In 2020, the prevalence of cancer rose to 844,778 cases among the population aged 0-19 years. Approximately 90% of individuals under 18 years of age reside in low- and middle-income countries, where cancer survivors report adverse outcomes that negatively impact their general health, emotional state, and external factors such as academic performance due to the effect of these outcomes on executive functions. The Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test (WCST) is the gold standard for evaluating executive functioning.

Autoantibody Diversity Is Augmented in Women with Breast Cancer and Is Related to the Stage of the Disease.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent malignant neoplasia and leading cause of cancer mortality for women. A timely diagnosis of BC is crucial to ensure the best chances of survival. Among the various screening tools for BC, antibodies directed towards self-antigens or tumor-associated antigens (autoantibodies) have emerged as an alternative to image-based screening modalities.

Stress symptoms and positive coping during coronavirus disease 2019: The need to look at health from a gender perspective.

Background: The emergency derived from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has taught us important lessons in public and environmental health, particularly in the alarming numbers of existing noncommunicable diseases. However, one aspect to which little attention has been paid during the pandemic is mental health and its relationship with the gender perspective, in spite of gender being a determinant associated with health. In contrast, regarding health, few schemes and theories consider health from a positive and comprehensive perspective.
