Research paper thumbnail of MMP-2 salivary activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2019

The uncontrolled levels of glucose in T2DM patients change the pathophysiology and balance of inflammatory mediators. Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that is responsible for tissue remodeling and degradation of the extracellular matrix in periodontal tissue. Therefore, the uncontrolled levels of glucose in T2DM could lead to an imbalance in MMP-2 activity in saliva, favoring the development of periodontitis. Methods Ninety-seven T2DM patients from Hospital Dr. Donato Alarcon were included in the study. Following clinical examination, the patients were classified into four groups according to the presence and degree of periodontal disease and glycemic control. Blood and whole saliva samples (WSS) were collected from each patient. Blood samples were used for Hba1c and polymorphonuclear cells count determination, while WS...

Methods: An online crosssectional survey was conducted. We performed bivariate and multivariate analyses to identify factors associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Results: We included 997 individuals with a mean age of 35.3 ± 12.9 years; 18.9% of the participants presented symptoms of depression, 21.7% symptoms of anxiety and 14.1% symptoms of stress. Respondents were more likely to present depression if they were <40 years old (OR 1.73), not having a religion (OR 1.71), if they were currently unemployed (OR 1.54). Factors associated with anxiety were age<40 years old (OR 1.73) and having recent contact with suspected or diagnosed patients with COVID-19 (OR 1.54). Self-perception of insufficient knowledge about COVID-19 disease was associated with stress (OR 1.55). Declaring not feeling safe of COVID-19 infection was associated with depression (OR 2.03), anxiety (OR 1.90), and stress (OR 1.75). Conclusions: The damage to mental health caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is evident; health personnel must pay attention to their psychological state and well-being to take appropriate measures.

It has used information from medical records of pregnant women who were treated in the emergency service of the Hospital de la Madre y el Nino Guerrerense, Guerrero, Mexico. Based on expert judgment, 19 observed variables were grouped into 5 latent variables: first hemodynamic state, second hemodynamic state, obstetric-gynecological history, treatments, and results of EMOC. An ad hoc model was proposed that includes the first four latent variables as independent and the last one as a latent dependent variable. To asses the proposal, goodness-of-fit indexes for the fitted structural equation model were used. It was concluded that the results are mainly affected by obstetric-gynecological history and second hemodynamic status for the before red code period and obstetric-gynecological history and treatment for the red code period.

Para que la donación y trasplante de órganos se lleve a cabo, es necesaria una actitud positiva. ... more Para que la donación y trasplante de órganos se lleve a cabo, es necesaria una actitud positiva. Con el objetivo de conocer los componentes fundamentales de la actitud positiva hacia la donación y trasplante de órganos, se realizó un estudio trasversal-descriptivo, en población adulta del municipio de Acapulco, Guerrero. Los resultados muestran dimensiones sociodemográfico, conocimiento, conducta prosocial, familia, y cultura como principales elementos que explican la actitud positiva hacia la donación y trasplante de órganos; sin embargo, es necesario intervenir en los principales actores del proceso de donación: el potencial donador, el personal de salud y la familia, mejorando el conocimiento e introduciendo sentimientos y emociones favorables, se mejorarán los resultados esperados en el proceso donación y trasplante de órganos.
