RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Genetic variants of PON1, rs70587, rs662, rs854560, GSTM1, and GSTT1 and two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) at 9p21.3 locus, rs1333049, and rs2383207; were evaluated in association with the risk for premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in a population of Yucatan, Mexico. These genes are involved in the inactivation of pro-oxidants and pro-inflammatory mediators, lipid and xenobiotic metabolism, detoxification of reactive oxygen species, and regulation of cellular proliferation playing key roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. METHODS: We conducted a matched case-control study with 98 CAD cases and 101 healthy controls. Genotyping of PON1 and 9p21.2 SNP was performed by real time-PCR and for GSTM1 and GSTT1 with multiplex-PCR. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to estimate association and generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) algorithm to identify gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. RESULTS: The distribution of all allele/genotype frequencies in controls was within Hardy-Weinberg expectations (p > .05) except for GSTM1. The allele/genotype frequencies of the GSTT1 null were significantly higher in CAD cases than in controls, suggesting association with higher risk for developing CAD. The other SNPs did not show any significant independent association with premature CAD. GMDR revealed a significant interaction between GSTT1 and LL55 genotype. Likewise, the body mass index (BMI) and smoking also showed an interaction with GSTT1. CONCLUSION: The GSTT1 null allele/genotype is associated with an increased risk of developing premature CAD, the effect of which is not modified by cardiovascular risk factors in the population of Yucatan.

Dysphagia is a common condition in clinical practice; however, an unusual type of dysphagia due to compression of the esophagus by an abnormal right subclavian artery may be discovered in a rare subset of patients. The prognosis and treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms and the compromise of surrounding structures. We present the case of an 18-year-old female who presented with gradually progressive dysphagia. At first, it was treated as gastroesophageal reflux disease; nonetheless, the dysphagia became severe, and after a thorough evaluation, an aberrant right subclavian artery that compressed the esophagus was discovered along with a truncus bicaroticus. She was successfully treated with surgery without any complications. On follow-ups, she's doing well.

OBJECTIVE: Epistasis is a type of genetic interaction that could explain much of the phenotypic variability of complex diseases. In this work, the effect of epistasis of metabolic genes and cardiovascular risk on the susceptibility to the development of ischemic heart disease in Yucatan was determined. METHODS: Case-control study in 79 Yucatecan patients with ischemic heart disease and 101 healthy controls matched by age and origin with cases. The polymorphisms -108CT, Q192R, L55M (paraoxonase 1; PON1), C677T, A1298C (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase; MTHFR), and the presence/absence of the glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) gene were genotyped. Epistasis analysis was performed using the multifactorial dimensional reduction method. The best risk prediction model was selected based on precision (%), statistical significance (P<0.05), and cross-validation consistency. RESULTS: We found an independent association of the null genotype GSTT1*0/0 (OR=3.39, CI: 1.29-8.87, P=0.017) and the null allele (OR=1.86, CI: 1.19-2.91, P=0.007) with ischemic heart disease. The GSTT1*0 deletion and the 677TT genotype (MTHFR) were identified as being at a high cardiovascular risk, whereas the GSTT1*1 wild type genotype and the CC677 variant were at low risk. The gene-environment interaction identified the GSTT1 gene, C677T polymorphism (MTHFR), and hypertension as the factors that best explain ischemic heart disease in the study population. CONCLUSIONS: The interaction of the MTHFR, GSTT1 and hypertension may constitute a predictive model of risk for early onset ischemic heart disease in the population of Yucatan.

Treatment of patients with drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) is particularly challenging. We sought to compare results of drug-eluting balloons in patients with DES-ISR with those in patients with bare-metal stent (BMS) ISR. A pooled analysis of the Restenosis Intra-Stent: Drug-Eluting Balloon versus Everolimus-Eluting Stent IV and V randomized trials was performed. Both trials had identical inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results of drug-eluting balloons in 95 patients with BMS-ISR and 154 patients with DES-ISR were compared. Patients with DES-ISR were more frequently diabetics, presented more often as an acute coronary syndrome and had more severe lesions and more frequently a focal pattern, including edge-ISR. Late angiographic findings (92% of eligible patients), including minimal lumen diameter (1.80 ± 0.6 vs 2.01 ± 0.6 mm, p = 0.001; absolute mean difference 0.21 mm; 95% confidence interval 0.04 to 0.38; p = 0.014) and restenosis rate (19% vs 9.5%, p <0.05) were poorer in DES-ISR. Results were consistent across 10 prespecified subgroups. Moreover, on multiple linear regression analysis, minimal lumen diameter at follow-up remained significantly smaller in patients with DES-ISR after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted absolute mean difference 0.17 mm; 95% confidence interval 0.04 to 0.41; p = 0.019). Finally, at 1-year clinical follow-up (100% of patients), rates of target vessel revascularization (16% vs 6%, p = 0.02) and of the main combined clinical end point (18% vs 8%, p = 0.03) were significantly higher in patients treated for DES-ISR. In conclusion, this study confirms the efficacy of DEB for patients with ISR. However, the long-term clinical and angiographic results of DEB are poorer in patients with DES-ISR than in those with BMS-ISR. (ClinicalTrials.govIdentifier:NCT01239953&NCT01239940).

RESUMEN El suicidio ha constituido desde siempre uno de los grandes enigmas de la humanidad. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo abordar los elementos más actuales de la génesis neurobiológica de la conducta suicida que puedan contribuir a su prevención. Se realizaron diversas búsquedas en materiales impresos y digitales a partir de las consultas del catálogo online de la biblioteca virtual de Infomed, en bases de datos multidisciplinarias así como las revistas digitales certificadas. Entre los marcadores neurobiológicos descritos en la actualidad más destacados están bajos niveles del 5-HIAA en el líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR), aumento de la densidad de los receptores 5-HT1A en la corteza pre- frontal, disminución de los sitios de unión del receptor serotoninérgico en la misma región, modificación del sistema GABA-érgico y los receptores benzodiazepínicos entre otros. A modo de conclusión se puede decir que los marcadores neurobiológicos y los factores psicopatológicos- de interacción familiar- de stress psicosocial descritos buscan identificar aquellos individuos con potencial riesgo de suicidio para establecer medidas de prevención, lo cual exige su detección e intervención a tiempo buscando evitar la ocurrencia del primer intento y a su vez la repetición del acto que conlleve al desenlace fatal.
ABSTRACT Suicide has always been one of the great enigmas of humanity. The present work aims to address the most current elements of the neurobiological genesis of suicidal behavior that can contribute to its prevention. Various searches were made of printed and digital materials based on queries in the online catalog of the Infomed virtual library, in multidisciplinary databases as well as certified digital journals. Among the most prominent neurobiological markers currently described are low levels of 5-HIAA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), increased density of 5-HT1A receptors in the prefrontal cortex, decreased receptor binding sites serotonergic in the same region, decrease in platelet serotonin receptors, modification of the GABA-ergic system and benzodiazepine receptors, among others. Suicide has multidimensional qualities and a multifactorial etiopathogenesis, therefore, in the consummation of the suicidal act, genetic factors -neurobiological - psychopathological - family interaction - psychosocial stress should be considered. By way of conclusion, the neurobiological and psychosocial markers described seek to identify those individuals with a potential risk of suicide to establish a prevention measure, which requires their detection and intervention in time, seeking to avoid the occurrence of the first attempt and, in turn, the repetition of the act that entails to the fatal outcome.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the long-term efficacy of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and drug-eluting balloons (DEB) in patients with bare-metal stent in-stent restenosis (ISR). BACKGROUND: The relative long-term clinical efficacy of current therapeutic modalities in patients with ISR remains unknown. METHODS: The 3-year clinical follow-up (pre-specified endpoint) of patients included in the RIBS V (Restenosis Intra-Stent of Bare-Metal Stents: Drug-Eluting Balloon vs Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation) randomized clinical trial was analyzed. All patients were followed yearly using a pre-defined structured questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 189 patients with bare-metal stent ISR were allocated to either EES (n = 94) or DEB (n = 95). Clinical follow-up at 1, 2, and 3 years was obtained in all patients (100%). Compared with patients treated with DEB, those treated with EES obtained better angiographic results, including larger minimal luminal diameter at follow-up (primary study endpoint; 2.36 ± 0.6 mm vs. 2.01 ± 0.6 mm; p < 0.001). At 3 years, the rates of cardiac death (2% vs. 1%), myocardial infarction (4% vs. 5%) and target vessel revascularization (9% vs. 5%) were similar in the DEB and EES arms. Importantly, however, at 3 years, the rate of target lesion revascularization was significantly lower in the EES arm (2% vs. 8%; p = 0.04; hazard ratio: 0.23; 95% confidence interval: 0.06 to 0.93). The need for "late" (>1 year) target vessel (3 [3.2%] vs. 3 [3.2%]; p = 0.95) and target lesion (1 [1%] vs. 2 [2.1%]; p = 0.54) revascularization was low and similar in the 2 arms. Rates of definite or probable stent thrombosis (1% vs. 0%) were also similar in the 2 arms. CONCLUSIONS: The 3-year clinical follow-up of the RIBS V clinical trial confirms the sustained safety and efficacy of EES and DEB in patients treated for bare-metal stent ISR. In this setting, EES reduce the need for target lesion revascularization at very long-term follow-up.

Treatment of patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a challenge. This study sought to compare the efficacy of everolimus-eluting stents (EESs) and drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) with paclitaxel in patients with ISR. A pooled analysis of the Restenosis Intra-Stent of Drug-Eluting Stents: Drug-Eluting Balloon vs Everolimus-Eluting Stent (RIBS IV) and Restenosis Intra-Stent of Bare-Metal Stents: Drug-Eluting Balloon vs Everolimus-Eluting Stent (RIBS V) randomized trials was performed using patient-level data. In both trials, EESs were compared with DEBs in patients with ISR (RIBS V included 189 patients with bare-metal ISR; RIBS IV included 309 patients with drug-eluting ISR). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were identical in both trials. A total of 249 patients were allocated to EES and 249 to DEB. Clinical follow-up at 1 year was obtained in all (100%) patients and late angiography (median 249 days) in 91% of eligible patients. Compared with patients treated with DEBs, patients treated with EESs obtained better short-term results (postprocedural minimal lumen diameter 2.28 ± 0.5 vs 2.12 ± 0.4 mm, p <0.0001). At follow-up, patients treated with EESs had larger in-segment minimal lumen diameter (primary end point 2.16 ± 0.7 vs 1.88 ± 0.6 mm, p <0.0001; absolute mean difference 0.28 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.16 to 0.40) and net lumen gain (1.33 ± 0.6 vs 1.00 ± 0.7 mm, p <0.0001) and had lower %diameter stenosis (19 ± 21% vs 28 ± 22%, p <0.0001) and binary restenosis rate (8.7% vs 15.7%, p = 0.02). Consistent results were observed in the in-lesion analysis. No interactions were found between the underlying stent type and treatment effects. At 1-year clinical follow-up, the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization was significantly reduced in the EES arm (8.8% vs 14.5%, p = 0.03; hazard ratio 0.59, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.94) mainly driven by a lower need for target vessel revascularization (6% vs 12.4%, p = 0.01, hazard ratio 0.46, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.86). This pooled analysis of the RIBS IV and RIBS V randomized trials demonstrates the superiority of EES over DEB in the treatment of patients with ISR.

BACKGROUND: Treatment of patients with drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) is more challenging than that of patients with bare-metal stent ISR. However, the results of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in these distinct scenarios remain unsettled. METHODS AND RESULTS: A pooled analysis of the RIBS IV (Restenosis Intra-Stent of Drug-Eluting Stents: Paclitaxel-Eluting Balloon vs Everolimus-Eluting Stent) and RIBS V (Restenosis Intra-Stent of Bare Metal Stents: Paclitaxel-Eluting Balloon vs Everolimus-Eluting Stent) randomized trials was performed using patient-level data to compare the efficacy of EES in bare-metal stent ISR and DES-ISR. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were identical in both trials. Results of 94 patients treated with EES for bare-metal stent ISR were compared with those of 155 patients treated with EES for DES-ISR. Baseline characteristics were more adverse in patients with DES-ISR, although they presented later and more frequently with a focal pattern. After intervention, minimal lumen diameter (2.22±0.5 versus 2.38±0.5 mm, P=0.01) was smaller in the DES-ISR group. Late angiographic findings (89.3% of eligible patients), including minimal lumen diameter (2.03±0.7 versus 2.36±0.6 mm, P<0.001) and diameter stenosis (23±22 versus 13±17%, P<0.001) were poorer in patients with DES-ISR. Results were consistent in the in-segment and in-lesion analyses. On multiple linear regression analysis, minimal lumen diameter at follow-up remained significantly smaller in patients with DES-ISR. Finally, at 1-year clinical follow-up (100% of patients), mortality (2.6 versus 0%, P<0.01) and need for target vessel revascularization (8 versus 2%, P=0.03) were higher in the DES-ISR group. CONCLUSIONS: This patient-level pooled analysis of the RIBS IV and RIBS V randomized clinical trials suggests that EES provide favorable outcomes in patients with ISR. However, the results of EES are less satisfactory in patients with DES-ISR than in those with bare-metal stent ISR. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Mechanisms of lumen gain during reinterventions in patients with drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) remain unsettled. METHODS: We sought to assess the mechanisms of acute lumen gain after balloon angioplasty (BA) and repeat drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with DES-ISR. Following a prospective protocol 29 consecutive patients with DES-ISR were sequentially treated with BA and new DES implantation under a multimodality intracoronary imaging assessment including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Imaging studies were systematically obtained, at baseline, after BA, and after DES. Results of interventions were compared using volumetric and morphometric (ISR pattern and injury score) analyses. RESULTS: IVUS and OCT demonstrated that acute lumen gain after BA and DES equally results from a reduction in intra-stent neointimal volume and further DES expansion. As compared with BA, repeat DES implantation not only increased final lumen (baseline 39.6±18.5mm(3), post-BA 58.6±26.6mm(3), post-DES 84.2±30.8mm(3), all p<0.001) but also provided a smoother lumen (injury score 1.57±0.86 vs 0.22±0.26, p<0.001). At the 9th month of angiographic follow-up (86% patients) in-stent late loss was 0.44±0.5mm and 4 patients (16%) developed ISR. The ISR pattern on OCT was not associated with the injury score after interventions or late angiographic findings. Likewise, the injury score did not predict late angiographic outcome. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with DES ISR, lumen gain equally results from a reduction in intra-stent neointimal volume and further DES expansion. As compared with BA, repeat DES implantation provides a larger and smoother coronary lumen.

AIMS: This study will compare the efficacy of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) and everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in patients with drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR). METHODS AND RESULTS: This is a prospective, multicentre, randomised clinical trial comparing DEB and EES in patients with DES-ISR. The study is an investigator-driven initiative generated within the RIBS study programme. A total of 310 patients with DES-ISR will be included and randomised (1:1) to DEB or EES. Angiographic follow-up has been scheduled at six to nine months. Quantitative coronary analyses will be performed in a centralised core lab by blinded personnel. The primary endpoint of the study is minimal lumen diameter at angiographic follow-up. Other secondary angiographic endpoints include % diameter stenosis, late loss, net gain and binary restenosis rate. An independent clinical events committee will adjudicate clinical events after reviewing source documents. The main clinical outcome measure is a combined endpoint of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularisation at one year. Individual components of the combined clinical endpoint and rates of target lesion revascularisation and stent thrombosis will also be compared. CONCLUSIONS: This randomised clinical trial will determine the relative efficacy of EES versus DEB in patients presenting with DES-ISR. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01239940).

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular medicine is focused on the search for genetic risk markers with predictive and/or prognostic value. Among the genetic variants of interest are G894T endothelial nitric oxide synthase and G1958A methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase1 gene polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to determine the possible association between these polymorphisms and ischemic heart disease in patients from Southern of Mexico (Yucatán). METHODS: Case-control study matched by age, sex and origin was designed. We studied 98 patients with coronary disease and 101 controls. Participants were evaluated for the usual risk factors. The polymorphisms were identified using the polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. RESULTS: The G894T and G1958A polymorphisms were not associated with ischemic heart disease, however, the TT genotype (G894T) was associated with the angina (OR=10.2; 95%CI, 1.51-68.8; p=0.025). The genotype GT (G894T) was the most frequent in patients with family history of coronary artery disease. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified smoking (OR=5.21; 95%CI, 2.1-12.9; p=0.000), hypertension (OR=3.54; 95%CI, 1.47-8.56; p=0.005) and obesity (OR=1.16; 95%CI, 1.1-1.27; p=0.001) as risk factors predicting the ischemic heart disease. CONCLUSIONS: The G894T and G1958A polymorphisms showed not association with ischemic heart disease. However, homozygosis for the 894T allele (NOS3) confers at risk to develop angina on Yucatán.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Treatment of patients with drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a major challenge. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the comparative efficacy of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) and everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in patients presenting with DES-ISR. METHODS: The study design of this multicenter randomized clinical trial assumed superiority of EES for the primary endpoint, in-segment minimal lumen diameter at the 6- to 9-month angiographic follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 309 patients with DES-ISR from 23 Spanish university hospitals were randomly allocated to DEB (n = 154) or EES (n = 155). At late angiography (median 247 days; 90% of eligible patients), patients in the EES arm had a significantly larger minimal lumen diameter (2.03 ± 0.7 mm vs. 1.80 ± 0.6 mm; p < 0.01) (absolute mean difference: 0.23 mm; 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.38) [corrected], net lumen gain (1.28 ± 0.7 mm vs. 1.01 ± 0.7 mm; p < 0.01), and lower percent diameter stenosis (23 ± 22% vs. 30 ± 22%; p < 0.01) and binary restenosis rate (11% vs. 19%; p = 0.06), compared with patients in the DEB arm. Consistent results were observed in the in-lesion analysis. At the 1-year clinical follow-up (100% of patients), the main clinical outcome measure (composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization) was significantly reduced in the EES arm (10% vs. 18%; p = 0.04; hazard ratio: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.35 to 0.98), mainly driven by a lower need for target vessel revascularization (8% vs. 16%; p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with DES-ISR, EES provided superior long-term clinical and angiographic results compared with DEB. (Restenosis Intra-Stent of Drug-Eluting Stents: Drug-Eluting Balloon vs Everolimus-Eluting Stent [RIBS IV]; NCT01239940).

Resuscitative interventions that improve mesenteric perfusion without causing instability in systemic arterial pressures may be helpful for improving trauma patient outcomes. Blocking angiotensin II formation with enalaprilat may be such an intervention. Two questions were addressed in this two-part study investigating resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock in dogs: Can systemic arterial pressures be maintained while administering a constant rate infusion of enalaprilat during resuscitation, and can enalaprilat improve cardiovascular status during resuscitation? Animals were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 40 to 45 mmHg for 30 min and then 30 to 35 mmHg for 30 min. Group I (n = 5) was resuscitated to a MAP 60 to 65 mmHg with enalaprilat (0.02 mg/kg/h). Group II was resuscitated to a MAP 40 to 45 mmHg with (n = 5) or without (n = 5) enalaprilat. Resuscitation in both groups consisted of intermittent intravenous lactated Ringer's solution (60 mL/kg/h) to reach and maintain the target MAPs. Systemic arterial pressures were unaffected by enalaprilat during resuscitation in Group I, allowing us to proceed to the second study. During severely hypotensive resuscitation (Group II), systemic arterial pressures were also stable and enalaprilat administration was associated with increases (P < or = 0.02) in cardiac index (+1.2 L/min/m2), stroke volume index (SVI) (+14.5 mL/m2), superior mesenteric artery flow (+80 mL/min), stroke work (+561 mmHg/mL/m2), and left ventricular power output (+55.7 mmHg/L/min/m2). Corresponding increases were not observed in controls. We conclude that administration of a constant rate infusion of enalaprilat during resuscitation can be accomplished without causing a hypotensive crisis. Since enalaprilat significantly improved cardiovascular status including mesenteric perfusion even during intentional hypotension, it has potential value for improving the treatment of trauma patients.

RESUMEN Fundamento: la violencia o abuso de niños y adolescentes ha sido reconocida por diversos autores como un problema complejo y creciente en los últimos años. Objetivo: describir los factores personales y familiares presentes en las víctimas sometidas a violencia doméstica en el Barrio Tala Hady, municipio de Cazenga. Métodos: la población en estudio fueron los casos denunciados y atendidos por violencia doméstica en la Delegación de la Policía en el segundo trimestre del año 2015 para un total de 31 casos. Se utilizó un cuestionario creado por los autores y el test de percepción del funcionamiento familiar (FF-SIL), fueron cumplidos los procedimientos éticos para la investigación. Resultados: predominó el sexo masculino, se destacó el grupo de 12-14 años y de 9-11 años, la mayoría tenían entre seis y ocho hermanos, lo que indicó que las familias estudiadas eran muy numerosas, referente a los tipos de violencia se encontró violencia física, violencia sexual y violencia psicológica , pero una buena parte de los casos sufrían más de un tipo de violencia, o sea, estaban expuestos a varios tipos de abuso y de agresión por padres, padrastos y madrastas, sobresalían las familias disfuncionales, donde los problemas más relevantes el abuso de alcohol u otras sustancias psicoactivas, problemas económicos y malas condiciones de vida, los factores descritos constituyen riesgo en los niños y adolescentes lo que compromete su desarrollo integral. Conclusiones: fue posible detectar la presencia de diversos tipos de violencia doméstica en la población infantil estudiada, con marcada presencia de daños físicos y psicológicos, lo que media en la problemática estudiada la disfuncionabilidad familiar, lo que da cuentas de la influencia negativa que pueden tener estas situaciones en la salud física y mental de los infantes.
ABSTRACT Background: the violence or abuse of children and adolescents has been recognized by various authors as a complex and growing problem in recent years. Objective: to describe the personal and family factors present in the victims subjected to domestic violence in the neighborhood Tala Hady, municipality of Cazenga. Methods: the study populations were cases reported and attended due to domestic violence in the Police Delegation in the second quarter of 2015, a total of 31.A questionnaire created by the authors and the family test (FF-SIL) were used, the ethical procedures for the research were fulfilled. Results: the male sex was predominant, the group of 12-14 years old and 9-11 years old stood out, the majority had between 6-8 siblings, indicating that the families studied were very numerous. Referring to the types of violence, physical violence, sexual violence and psychological violence were found, but a good part of the cases suffer more than one type of violence, that is, they were exposed to various types of abuse and aggression by parents, stepfathers or stepmothers, dysfunctional families stand out, being the most relevant problems the abuse of alcohol or other psychoactive substances, economic problems and bad living conditions. The described factors constitute risk in children and adolescents compromising their integral development. Conclusions: it was possible to detect the presence of different types of domestic violence in the child population studied, with a marked presence of physical and psychological damage, mediating the dysfunctional family in the studied problem, which accounts for the negative influence that these situations can have on the physical and mental health of infants.
