Introduction: Diabetes is a worldwide problem with a greater impact in developing countries, where many people are unaware of their risk. In Mexico, women show the greatest risk for T2D. Current risk scores have been developed and validated in predominantly older European cohorts. They are not the best option in Mexican women. The development of a risk model/score in this population would be useful.
Objective: To develop and validate a risk model and score that incorporates the most relevant risk factors for T2D in Mexican women of reproductive age.
Methods: The study was carried out in two phases, with the first phase being the development of the predictive model and the second phase the validation of the model in a separate independent population. A cohort of Mexican patients of reproductive age ("Derivation Cohort") was used to create the predictive model. It included data on 3161 women. Risk factors for identification were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Finally a score with a range of 0 to 19 points was developed to identify the 2.4 year probability of developing DM2 in Mexican women of reproductive age.
Results: 147 new cases of T2D (4.6%) were identified in the Derivation Cohort model, 97 of 925 participants (10.48%) in the validation cohort. The risk factor predictors of T2D were: history of gestational diabetes (HR 2.69, 95% CI 1.10-6.58), BMI (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06), hypertriglyceridemia (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.11-2.14) and fasting blood glucose (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.05-1.08), with an AUC of 0.75. The AUC in the validation cohort was 0.91 (95% CI 0.87-0.94). The score had a sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 67% at a cutoff of ≥15.
Conclusions: A predictive model and risk score was developed to detect cases at risk for incident T2D. It was generated using the characteristics of Mexican women of reproductive age. This risk score is a step forward in attempting to address the generational legacy that diabetes in pregnancy could have on women and their children.

Purpose: In the context of rising breast cancer incidence and mortality rates in Mexico, our study delves into the genomic landscape of Mexican women diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer.
Methods: Employing the EndoPredict test for genomic analysis, our retrospective, cross-sectional study explores correlations between genomic expression and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Results: Among 50 female patients, risk stratification by IHC revealed 50 % as high risk and 50 % as low risk, with notable clinical and histological distinctions between the two groups.
Postpartum depressive symptoms and mother-infant dyadic reciprocity: The moderating role of partner support.

Maternal postpartum depressive (PPD) symptoms have the potential to negatively impact mother-infant interactions, particularly in populations experiencing contextual stress. We used a resilience perspective to examine maternal perceptions of partner support as a protective factor in the relation between PPD symptoms and mother-infant dyadic reciprocity. Low income, Mexican-origin women ( = 322; = 27.

Background: Psoriasis requires a comprehensive assessment of concomitant diseases to make better therapeutic decisions. This study examined the differences in the onset and progression of associated cardiometabolic comorbidities in psoriasis patients based on their treatments.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted on patients aged over 13 years with psoriasis seen at a Northern Mexican Hospital between 2012 and 2023.
DNA Identification in Breast Milk from Mexican Women with Chagas Disease.

Laboratorio de Investigación en Patógenos Respiratorios y Producción de Biológicos, Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, Ciudad de México 06720, Mexico.
(1) Background: Chagas disease is a public health problem affecting nearly 2 million women of reproductive age in Latin America. From these, 4-8% can transmit the infection to the foetus through the vertical route, whereas horizontal transmission through milk during breastfeeding remains controversial. Therefore, the presence of () DNA in the milk of women seropositive for Chagas disease was analysed to determine whether a relationship with the infection of their children can exist.

The persistence of qPCR positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in individuals who recovered from COVID-19 raised several questions regarding viral transmission, with a special interest in healthcare professionals who may pose a risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2. This issue highlights the necessity for identifying the genetic risk factors associated with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection. A promising target for achieving this goal is the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 () gene, which has been associated with clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infection, such as severity.
