Intrauterine Transmission of Zika and Vertical Transfer of Neutralizing Antibodies Detected Immediately at Birth in Oaxaca, Mexico: An Analysis in the Context of Microcephaly.

Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause neurological issues in infants. To provide protection, neutralizing antibodies should be transferred from the mother to the infant. We conducted a study at the Hospital General de Pochutla, Oaxaca, Mexico. Samples were collected from mothers (blood and breast milk) and infants (saliva and dried blood spots) within the first 12 postnatal hours (December 2017 to February 2018) and tested for ZIKV total and neutralizing antibodies as well as ZIKV-PCR. Microcephaly was evaluated according to INTERGROWTH-21st standards. Maternal IgG seroprevalence was 28.4% with 10.4% active infection, while infant IgG seroprevalence was 5.5% with 2.4% active infection. There were two cases of virolactia, and 6.3% of the infant saliva samples tested positive for ZIKV. Additionally, 18.3% of the infants were in a cephalic perimeter percentile lower than 10 and had an association between microcephaly and serology or a PCR between 8.6 and 60.9%. The infant blood samples had neutralizing antibodies, indicating intrauterine protection. Microcephaly was correlated with serology or PCR, but in our study population, non-ZIKV factors may be involved as well. Low ZIKV infection values in breast milk mean that breastfeeding is safe in most of the mothers and infants of the endemic area studied.

Planetary health diet versus usual diet in adolescents. How do food and physical activity influence academic performance?

Introduction: Objective: to analyze the relationship of the similarity of planetary health diet and habitual diet with the practice of physical activity on the academic performance of adolescent high school students by gender. Method: 877 adolescents were evaluated. The diet is reviewed through the 24-hour reminder. Physical activity was classified according to type of activity, frequency, duration, and intensity using the APALQ questionnaire. The caloric intake of adolescents was compared with the proposal of the EAT-LANCET commission, and the relationship between physical activity and diet with academic performance was again established. Results: Mexican adolescents do not comply with the proposal of a planetary health diet. No relationship was found between physical activity and academic performance. On the other hand, animal proteins rich in fats are consumed doubly according to the recommendation; these and whole grains, both are inversely related to better academic performance. Conclusions: Mexican adolescents are far from consuming a planetary health diet. Physical activity was not related to academic performance, but there is an inverse relationship between fat-rich animal proteins and whole grains in relation to subjects that contribute to academic performance, which suggests that a healthy diet such as the planetary diet proposal could have an impact on environmental sustainability and favorably impact the academic performance of adolescents.

Introducción: Objetivo: analizar la relación de la similitud entre la dieta de salud planetaria y la dieta habitual con la práctica de actividad física sobre el rendimiento académico en adolescentes estudiantes de secundaria por género. Método: se evaluaron 877 adolescentes. La dieta se revisó a través del recordatorio de 24 horas. Se clasificó la actividad física según el tipo de actividad, frecuencia, duración e intensidad con el cuestionario APALQ. Se comparó la ingesta calórica de los adolescentes con la propuesta por la comisión EAT-LANCET y se establecieron relaciones entre la actividad física y la dieta con el rendimiento académico. Resultados: los adolescentes mexicanos no cumplen con la propuesta de una dieta de salud planetaria. No se encontró relación entre la actividad física y el rendimiento académico. Por otro lado, las proteínas animales ricas en grasas se consumen doblemente de acuerdo con la recomendación; estas y los cereales integrales, ambos se relacionan inversamente con un mejor rendimiento académico. Conclusiones: los adolescentes mexicanos están lejos de consumir una dieta planetaria saludable. La actividad física no se relacionó con el rendimiento académico, pero sí existe una relación inversa entre las proteínas animales ricas en grasas y los cereales integrales con relación a materias que contribuyen con el rendimiento académico, lo que sugiere que una alimentación saludable como la propuesta de la dieta planetaria podría tener impacto sobre la sostenibilidad ambiental e impactar favorablemente en el rendimiento académico de los adolescentes.

Dermatoglyphic Profiles of Competitive Athletes: CrossFit and Ultra-Marathon / Perfiles Dermatoglíficos de Deportistas Competitivos: CrossFit y Ultramaratón

SUMMARY: In the sports field, sports are usually classified according to the predominance of the energy system used during the competition; sports like Crossfit and ultra-marathon could be totally opposite due to the needs of athletes to achieve good places. Due to the above, the objective was established to compare the dermatoglyphic profiles of CrossFit and Ultra-marathon athletes according to the predisposition of the energy systems, aerobic and anaerobic, used in the competitions. Cross-sectional descriptive study, where the dermatoglyphic profile of 21 athletes of national presence (10 crossfit and 11 ultra-marathon runners) was determined, through the Computerized Dermatoglyphic System, brand Salus Dermatoglifia, according to the Cummins and Midlo protocol, which consists of taking the fingerprints of the 10 fingers of the hands. The fingerprint designs of the human being (arch, loop and whorl) and the elements contained in them (nucleus and delta) were analyzed, differences were established through the Analysis of Variance test in the SPSS V.25 statistical package. The results show significant differences between the average scores of the line count of both disciplines (108 and 165), being higher in ultra-marathon runners, associated with greater aerobic resistance. Another significant and relevant finding was the presence of arch-type fingerprints only in CrossFit athletes associated, along with low line count, with strength and power. It is concluded that Crossfit and Ultra-marathon athletes have dissimilar natural physical characteristics, which is why they participate and excel in different sports where they have enhanced their natural physical abilities through training.

En el ámbito deportivo, los deportes suelen clasificarse según el predominio del sistema energético utilizado durante la competición; Deportes como el Crossfit y la ultramaratón podrían ser totalmente opuestos debido a las necesidades de los deportistas de conseguir buenos lugares. Debido a lo anterior, se estableció como objetivo comparar los perfiles dermatoglíficos de atletas de CrossFit y Ultramaratón según la predisposición de los sistemas energéticos, aeróbico y anaeróbico, utilizados en las competencias. Estudio descriptivo transversal, donde se determinó el perfil dermatoglífico de 21 deportistas de presencia nacional (10 crossfit y 11 ultramaratonistas), a través del Sistema Dermatoglífico Computarizado, marca Salus Dermatoglifia, según el protocolo Cummins y Midlo, el cual consta de tomando las huellas dactilares de los 10 dedos de las manos. Se analizaron los diseños dactilares del ser humano (arco, asa y verticilo) y los elementos contenidos en ellos (núcleo y delta), se establecieron diferencias mediante la prueba de Análisis de Varianza en el paquete estadístico SPSS V.25. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas entre las puntuaciones medias del recuento de líneas de ambas disciplinas (108 y 165), siendo superiores en los corredores de ultramaratón, asociado a una mayor resistencia aeróbica. Otro hallazgo significativo y relevante fue la presencia de huellas dactilares tipo arco sólo en atletas de CrossFit asociadas, junto con un bajo número de líneas, con fuerza y potencia. Se concluye que los atletas de Crossfit y Ultramaratón tienen características físicas naturales disímiles, por lo que participan y destacan en diferentes deportes donde han potenciado sus capacidades físicas naturales a través del entrenamiento.

Impact of Adding a Rapid PCR-Based Blood Culture Identification Panel to the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program of Patients with Febrile Neutropenia in a Peruvian Referral Hospital.

The addition of Biofire® FilmArray® Blood Culture Identification panel 2 (BCID2) to the antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) could improve outcomes in bloodstream infections (BSI) of patients with febrile neutropenia (FN). A pre- and post-quasi-experimental single-center study was conducted at a reference hospital in Peru. Three groups were considered: patients with BSI before ASP intervention (control group), patients with BSI after ASP intervention (group 1), and patients with BSI after ASP intervention plus BCID2 PCR Panel implementation (group 2). Overall, 93 patients were identified (32 control, 30 group 1, 31 group 2). The median time to effective therapy was significantly shorter in group 2 compared to group 1 and control group, respectively (3.75 vs. 10 h, p = 0.004; 3.75 vs. 19 h, p < 0.001). No significant differences in terms of relapse of bacteremia, in-hospital mortality (all cause), and 30-day-all-cause hospital readmission between the three study periods were found. The appropriateness of empirical antimicrobial use, adding or change, and the following de-escalation or discontinuation was significant when the two intervention periods were compared with the control group (p < 0.001). In addition to the lack of local studies documenting the microbiological profile of FN episodes, adding syndromic panels-based testing could allow for the consolidation of ASP strategies.

Prevalence of Polymorphism and Post-Training Expression of ACTN3 (R/X) and ACE (I/D) Genes in CrossFit Athletes.

BACKGROUND: CrossFit is known as a functional fitness training high-intensity exercise to improve physical performance. The most studied polymorphisms are the ACTN3 R577X gene, known for speed, power, and strength, and ACE I/D, related to endurance and strength. The present investigation analyzed the effects of training on ACTN3 and ACE gene expression in CrossFit athletes for 12 weeks. METHODS: the studies included 18 athletes from the Rx category, where ACTN3 (RR, RX, XX) and ACE (II, ID, DD) characterization of genotypes and tests of maximum strength (NSCA), power (T-Force), and aerobic endurance (Course Navette) were performed. The technique used was the reverse transcription-quantitative PCR real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for the relative expression analysis. RESULTS: the relative quantification (RQ) values for the ACTN3 gene increased their levels 2.3 times (p = 0.035), and for ACE, they increased 3.0 times (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS: there is an overexpression of the ACTN3 and ACE genes due to the effect of training for 12 weeks. Additionally, the correlation of the expression of the ACTN3 (p = 0.040) and ACE (p = 0.030) genes with power was verified.

The complexity of female orgasm and ejaculation.

The anatomy and physiology of the female orgasm are often neglected. The female orgasm is a normal psychophysiological function to all women, and some even can achieve ejaculation as part of the normal physiological response at the height of sexual arousal. The complexity of female sexuality requires a deep understanding of genital anatomy. The clitoris is the principal organ for female pleasure. The vaginal stimulation of the anterior vaginal wall led women to orgasm due to the stimulation of the clitourethrovaginal complex and not due to stimulation of a particular organ called the G spot in the anterior distal vaginal wall. Female ejaculation follows orgasm. It consists of the orgasmic expulsion of a smaller quantity of whitish fluid produced by the female prostate. Squirting can be differentiated from female ejaculation because it is the orgasmic transurethral expulsion of a substantial amount of diluted urine during sexual activity, and it is not considered pathological. The female orgasm is influenced by many aspects such as communication, emotional intimacy, long-standing relationship, adequate body image and self-esteem, proper touching and knowledge of the female body, regular masturbation, male sexual performance, male and female fertility, chronic pain, and capacity to engage in new sexual acts. Stronger orgasms could be achieved when clitoral stimulation, anterior vaginal wall stimulation, and oral sex is involved in the same sexual act.

[Association between indicators of physical fitness and body weight status in high school students]. / Asociación entre indicadores de condición física, estatus de peso corporal y riesgo metabólico en escolares de secundaria.

Introduction: Introduction: the components of physical fitness have become very important to determine health problems in schoolchildren. Objective: to analyze the association between physical condition indicators (PCIs), body weight status, and metabolic risk in high school students. Methods: a cross-sectional study where 531 schoolchildren were evaluated - 271 women (51 %) and 260 men (49 %) between 11 and 15 years old. The Alpha Fitness battery was used to analyze PCIs and the Pacer test to estimate VO2max; waist circumference (WC) was measured as an indicator of obesity and metabolic risk. The students were classified according to their BMI and WC. Results: PCIs showed a poor performance in all schoolchildren in the variables of flexibility (81 %), sit-ups (97.7 %), push-ups (95.3 %), speed (99.2 %) and VO2max (64.8 %). Obese schoolchildren have significantly lower performance in flexibility, strength and speed (< 0.001) when compared to non-obese schoolchildren. On the other hand, there is a negative relationship between WC as indicator of metabolic risk and flexibility, sit-ups, and push-ups. Men are at higher metabolic risk than women. Conclusions: the relationship between HCI and obesity shows that schoolchildren with higher BMI and higher metabolic risk are those with lower performance. That is why educational policies should focus on improving the components of physical fitness to reduce obesity and metabolic risk in schoolchildren.

Introducción: Introducción: los componentes de la condición física han cobrado suma importancia para determinar problemas de salud en los escolares. Objetivo: analizar la asociación entre indicadores de condición física (ICF), estatus de peso corporal y riesgo metabólico en escolares de secundaria. Métodos: estudio de corte transversal donde se evaluaron 531 escolares, 271 mujeres (51 %) y 260 hombres (49 %) de entre 11 y 15 años. Se utilizaron la batería Alpha Fitness para analizar los ICF y la prueba Pacer para la estimación del VO2máx, y se midió la circunferencia de la cintura (CC) como indicador de obesidad y de riesgo metabólico. Los alumnos se clasificaron según su IMC y CC. Resultados: los ICF muestran un pobre desempeño en la totalidad de los escolares en las variables de flexibilidad (81 %), abdominales (97,7 %), flexión de brazos (95,3 %), velocidad (99,2 %) y VO2máx (64,8 %). Los escolares obesos presentan significativamente un menor desempeño en flexibilidad, fuerza y velocidad (< 0,001) en comparación con los escolares no obesos. Por otra parte, se presenta una relación negativa entre la CC como indicador de riesgo metabólico y la flexibilidad, los abdominales y las flexiones de brazos. Son los hombres quienes presentan mayor riesgo metabólico a diferencia de las mujeres. Conclusiones: la relación entre los ICF y la obesidad pone en evidencia que los escolares con mayor IMC y mayor riesgo metabólico son los que presentan menor desempeño. Es por ello por lo que las políticas educativas deben enfocarse en mejorar los componentes de la condición física para disminuir la obesidad y el riesgo metabólico en los escolares.

Strength and VO2max Changes by Exercise Training According to Maturation State in Children.

The health benefits of physical activity (PA) are widely recognized; however, biological maturation contributions are a subject that has been little studied, which is why the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a six-week training program at moderate-intensity on the muscular strength and aerobic capacity in children between nine and 13 years (13 ± 1.0 years) according to their maturation state. Twenty-six schoolchildren (15 girls) participated in a six-week physical exercise program based on aerobic/anaerobic capacity and coordination skills. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), trunk-lift, push-ups, curl-ups, and handgrip strength (both hands) were measured as response variables. Body mass index (BMI), skeletal maturity indicator (SMI), peak height velocity (PHV), age on peak height velocity (APHV) and sex were considered as covariates. The results of VO2max, push-ups, curl-ups, and handgrip strength were higher after the exercise program in the whole group (p < 0.05). The VO2max showed a greater increase in the normal-weight than in the overweight-obesity children (p = 0.001). Higher results in dominant handgrip strength were observed in girls (p = 0.003). The PHV before intervention presented a positive correlation with the dominant handgrip strength in all kids (r = 0.70, p = 0.001). As a conclusion, the six-week training program improved the physical fitness of children independent of the maturation state. Somatic maturation increases the physical abilities in schoolchildren.

RESUMEN La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación de la actividad física realizada sobre la aptitud física, composición corporal y calidad de vida en una población de mujeres adultas mayores de México. Estudio retrospectivo correlacional en el cual se clasificó a las mujeres según su estilo de vida activo de acuerdo a si cumple o no con las directrices publicadas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS] en 2020 sobre actividad física y comportamiento sedentario. La evaluación de la actividad física se registró a través del Cuestionario IPAQ, la aptitud física a través de la batería Senior Fitness Test, la composición corporal se estimó mediante impedancia bioeléctrica y la calidad de vida con el Cuestionario SF36. Los resultados de aquellas mujeres mayores que tienen un mayor gasto energético y que cumplen con las recomendaciones del tiempo destinado a la actividad física, muestran una mejor aptitud física, composición corporal y mayor percepción de la calidad de vida, sin embargo, la mayoría no cumple con estas recomendaciones.

ABSTRACT The present research aimed to determine the relation of the physical activity carried out (active or inactive lifestyle) on physical fitness, body composition, and quality of life in a population of older adult women in Mexico. Retrospective correlational study in which women were classified according to their active lifestyle according to whether or not they comply with the guidelines published by the World Health Organization [WHO] in 2020 on physical activity and sedentary behavior. The evaluation of physical activity was recorded through the IPAQ Questionnaire, physical fitness through the Senior Fitness Test battery, body composition was estimated using bioelectrical impedance, and quality of life with the SF36 Questionnaire. As a result, we find that those elderly women who have a higher energy expenditure and who comply with the recommendations of the time allocated to physical activity, show better physical fitness, body composition, and greater perception of quality of life, however, most do not comply with these recommendations.

Assessment of a small-scale fishery: Lane Snapper (Lutjanus synagris) using a length metric method.

Small-scale fisheries are hard to assess because of the limited availability of data. Therefore, a method requiring easy-to-obtain catch-data is important for the assessment and management of small-scale fisheries. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of fishing gear selectivity on a length-based metric method proposed by Froese by estimating three indicators using catch-data from Lane Snapper (Lutjanus synagris) collected in Honduras. These indicators are (1) the percentage of mature individuals in the catch, (2) the percentage of fish within the range of estimated optimal lengths to be captured, and (3) the percentage of fish larger than the optimal length. These indicators determine the level of overfishing. The indicators were estimated separately for catch-data corresponding to gill nets, and each indicator was estimated with and without selectivity correction. Selectivity and mesh sizes of the fishing gear had a major impact on the estimation of indicators 1 and 2. As for indicator 3, it consistently showed a high level of exploitation. The three estimated indicators suggested that the Lane Snapper fishery in Honduras is experiencing overfishing. Overall, the method appears to be promising for the assessment of small-scale fisheries, but it should be used cautiously.

Methodology: Interpretative ethnography with participant observations and interviews. In this study participated three nurses and eleven indigenous. Data were analyzed according to Leininger's proposal. Conclusions: To know the perspectives from the receptor and the care provider, allow to improve the public health culturally competent care affects.

Fundamentación de la visita domiciliaria desde un enfoque de enfermería familiar y cultural / Foundation of home visits from a family and culture nursing perspective / Fundamentação da visita domiciliar desde o enfoque de enfermagem familiar e cultural

Introducción: La visita domiciliaria permite el abordaje de la salud desde un enfoque biopsicosocial y de determinantes sociales. El objetivo fue analizar la evidencia científica sobre las teorías, modelos y enfoques para la enfermería familiar y cultural que permitan la fundamentación de la visita domiciliaria. Metodología: Se realizó una investigación documental entre 2007 y 2017 en inglés, español y portugués; sobre bases de datos de salud y de ciencias sociales y humanas. Los términos utilizados fueron: teoría de enfermería, visita domiciliaria, cuidado de enfermería, cultura, familia. Se hallaron 671 artículos científicos. Para el análisis se utilizó el software Atlas ti. Resultados: El concepto de visita domiciliaria se configura desde una visión plural, se destaca la inclusión de una dimensión política y se plantea la necesidad de trascender el predominante modelo médico hegemónico y proponer la visita desde un abordaje comprensivo y cultural. Conclusiones: Se identificaron teorías/modelos de enfermería y de psicología utilizados en el abordaje de la visita domiciliaria desde un enfoque familiar y cultural. Prima el modelo biomédico, por lo que se plantean enfoques alternativos para la praxis y es relevante profundizar sobre los postulados de la teoría de la diversidad y universalidad: cuidados culturales propuesta por Madeleine Leininger.

Introduction: Home visits allow to address health form a biopsychosocial approach and social determinants. The objective of the study consisted of analyzing scientific evidence of the family and cultural nursing theories, models and approaches that allow the foundation of home visits. Methodology: A documentary research was made between 2007 and 2017, in English, Spanish and Portuguese, in data bases of health, and social and human sciences. The terms used were: nursing theory, home visits, nursing care, culture and family. 671 scientific articles were found. For the analysis the software Atlas ti was used. Results: The concept of home visit is configured from a plural vision which emphasizes the inclusion of political measures and states the necessity of transcending the predominant hegemonic medical model and propose home visits from a comprehensive and cultural approach. Conclusions: Nursing and psychology theories/models were identified, which were used for addressing home visits from a family and cultural approach. The biomedical model prevails, therefore alternative approaches are considered for praxis and its relevant to go in depth on the diversity and universality theory; transcultural nursing, a proposal made by Madeleine Leininger.
