Risk factors for HCV transmission in HIV-positive men who have sex with men in México.

Purpose: In the last two decades transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in HIV positive men who have sex with men (MSM) has been reported globally.

[Clinical characteristics related to mortality by COVID-19 in intensive care].

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused hospital reconversion throughout Mexico and it was scarce information about its development in second-level intensive care units (ICU).

Objective: To determine the clinical characteristics related to COVID-19 mortality in a second-level ICU.

Material And Methods: Observational, cohort, retrospective, and analytical study.

Ruxolitinib as a treatment strategy for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia: clinical experience in a real-world setting.

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection is characterised by a viral phase and a severe pro-inflammatory phase. The inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway limits the pro-inflammatory state in moderate to severe COVID-19.

Methodology: We analysed the data obtained by an observational cohort of patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia treated with ruxolitinib in 22 hospitals of Mexico.

[Acute myocardial infarction in a second-level unit].

Background: Acute myocardial infarction is one of the most frequent causes of admittance and the first cause of death in an intensive care unit from a second-level hospital where the infrastructure, installed capacity and location withheld access to optimal reperfusion treatment.

Objective: To evaluate mortality, length of stay, complications and mechanical ventilation requirement in patients with myocardial infarction who underwent fibrinolysis against those who did not.

Material And Methods: Observational, retrospective and analytic study.
