Sex differences in pneumonia risk during COVID-19 in Mexico.

This study aimed to evaluate the pneumonia risk based on the patient's sex during the COVID-19 pandemic and the early months of the endemic phase of the disease in Mexico. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a dataset resulting from the epidemiological surveillance of COVID-19 (February 2020 to August 2023). Data from 1.

Objectives: To assess factors associated with the risk of severe disease in children aged 5 years or younger with laboratory-confirmed respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

Study Design: We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study in Mexico.

Methods: Eligible participants included children aged 5 years or younger with laboratory-confirmed RSV infection January 1, 2023, and May 15, 2024.

Iron chelation mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress by enhancing nrf2-mediated antioxidant responses in the renal cortex of a murine model of type 2 diabetes.

Renal iron overload is a common complication of diabetes that leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in the kidneys. This study investigated the effects of iron chelation using deferiprone on mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in the renal cortex of a murine model of type 2 diabetes. Diabetic rats were treated with deferiprone (50 mg/kg BW) for 16 weeks.

Effects of a Multicomponent Preventive Intervention in Women at Risk of Sarcopenia: A Pilot Study.

Unlabelled: Sarcopenia is defined by the presence of decreased skeletal muscle mass, strength, and functionality in older people. Multicomponent interventions represent an alternative to non-pharmacological treatment for preventing disease progression. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a multicomponent intervention approach in women at risk of sarcopenia.
