Serum Concentrations of New Predictive Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers in Mexican Women Exposed to Lead.

Archives of environmental contamination and toxicology
The purpose of this study was to evaluate lead exposure and its relationship with serum levels of predictive CVD biomarkers [asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4), adiponectin, and chemerin] in women living ...

Technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation in Mexico: a pilot randomized trial comparing traditional therapy to circuit training in a Robot/technology-assisted therapy gym.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stroke rehabilitation in low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico, is often hampered by lack of clinical resources and funding. To provide a cost-effective solution for comprehensive post-stroke rehabilitation that can alleviate t...

ANTIPROTOZOAL ACTIVITY OF EXTRACTS OF (CELASTRACEAE).

African journal of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicines : AJTCAM
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease, amebiasis, giardiasis and trichomoniasis represent a serious health problem in Latin America. The drugs employed to treat these illnesses produce important side effects and resistant strains have appeared. The present stud...

Use of Dried Plasma Spots for HIV-1 Viral Load Determination and Drug Resistance Genotyping in Mexican Patients.

BioMed research international
Monitoring antiretroviral therapy using measurements of viral load (VL) and the genotyping of resistance mutations is not routinely performed in low- to middle-income countries because of the high costs of the commercial assays that are used. The ana...

Validating estimates of prevalence of non-communicable diseases based on household surveys: the symptomatic diagnosis study.

BMC medicine
BACKGROUND: Easy-to-collect epidemiological information is critical for the more accurate estimation of the prevalence and burden of different non-communicable diseases around the world. Current measurement is restricted by limitations in existing me...

Using Data Mining to Differentiate Dengue with Warning Signs from Severe Dengue: A Predictive Model from Oaxaca, Mexico.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene
Dengue with warning signs (DWS) and severe dengue are significant public health concerns in tropical and subtropical regions globally. Accurate and timely differentiation between these clinical forms of dengue, although crucial, is often complex. In ...

Prospective study using artificial neural networks for identification of high-risk COVID-19 patients.

Scientific reports
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major public health crisis, with severe impacts on global health and the economy. Machine learning (ML) has been crucial in developing new technologies to address challenges posed by the pandemic, particularly in identi...

Application of artificial intelligence for nutrient estimation in surface water bodies of basins with intensive agriculture.

Integrated environmental assessment and management
Eutrophication is one of the most relevant concerns due to the risk to water supply and food security. Nitrogen and phosphorus chemical species concentrations determined the risk and magnitude of eutrophication. These analyses are even more relevant ...

A conceptual and computational framework for modeling the complex, adaptive dynamics of epidemics: The case of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Mexico.

PloS one
In the quest to ensure adequate preparedness for health emergencies caused by infectious disease pandemics, there is a need for tools that can address the myriad relevant questions related to the spread and trajectory of pandemics. A hybrid intellige...
