Article Abstract
On 13 May 2022, a familial cluster of two cases of monkeypox was reported in the United Kingdom (UK) by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). These cases had no relation to a case imported from Nigeria that was previously reported on 7 May 2022 in the UK. In the following days, several other European Union (EU) the Member States and other countries have reported cases of monkeypox not linked to travel to endemic countries. The report by the World Health Organization (WHO) until May 26, 2022, is of a total of 257 confirmed cases and 120 suspected cases, without any report of death. This outbreak involves 23 countries that are not endemic to the monkeypox virus. Latin America had no reported cases. We describe a case of imported monkeypox in Mexico City, Mexico.

A decade of iron overload disorders and hemochromatosis: clinical and genetic findings from a specialized center in Colombia.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
One Health Research Group, Univerisdad de las Americas, Quito, Ecuador.
Background: Iron overload disorders, including hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), are characterized by excessive iron accumulation, which can cause severe organ damage. HH is most associated with the C282Y mutation in Caucasian populations, but its prevalence and genetic profiles in Latin American populations remain underexplored.
Objectives: To describe the clinical manifestations, genetic profiles, and biochemical characteristics of patients with suspected iron overload disorders in a specialized hematology center in Cali, Colombia.

Emerging countries face specific challenges in mobilizing the transformative potential of digital technology to achieve financial inclusion. While previous studies emphasize the role of digital infrastructure and technology adoption in financial inclusion, gaps remain in understanding how digital literacy and specific technologies, like blockchain, influence financial inclusion across diverse emerging regions. This study investigates the joint effect of digital literacy and blockchain adoption on financial inclusion in Africa, Asia, and Latin America from 2011 to 2021.

BMC Med Educ
December 2024
Facultad de Estomatología, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Perú.
Background: For health science students, publishing in scientific journals is a significant milestone that can positively impact their professional careers, providing recognition and credibility within the academic and professional community. However, despite the apparent increase in scientific production among undergraduate dental students in Latin America and the Caribbean, it remains low compared to other regions. The study aimed to determine the frequency of publication in scientific journals of the documents to obtain the professional title of dental surgeon by undergraduate dental students at a private Peruvian university over seven years.

Lancet Healthy Longev

Efforts to prevent dementia can benefit from precision interventions delivered to the right population at the right time; that is, when the potential to reduce risk is the highest. Young adults (aged 18-39 years) are a neglected population in dementia research and policy making despite being highly exposed to several known modifiable risk factors. The risk and protective factors that have the biggest effect on dementia outcomes in young adulthood, and how these associations differ across regions and groups, still remain unclear.
