abstract = {Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) remains a significant global health concern, with a growing recognition of its impact on young adults, particularly young females. While gender-related factors, defined as a social construct that encompasses four distinct dimensions (gender roles, gender identity, gender relations, and institutionalized gender) are undoubtedly relevant across age groups, young females with ACS face specific challenges and disparities in outcomes compared to other populations. This narrative review examines the role of gender-related factors - specifically gender roles, gender identity, gender relations, and institutionalized gender - in influencing objective and subjective ACS outcomes in young females. In the five manuscripts identified, the objective outcomes included hospital readmission, door-to-ECG time, and coronary atherosclerosis progression. Subjective outcomes such as physical and mental functional status, quality of life, physical limitations, and vital exhaustion were also examined. Employment status, a gender role, emerged as a protective factor against hospital readmission. Gender identity factors like depression and stress correlated with negative outcomes, while anxiety influenced door-to-ECG times. Institutional factors, including income disparities, affected readmission likelihood. Strong social support improved physical limitations post-ACS, whereas financial challenges and lower education negatively impacted quality of life and vital exhaustion. These findings underscore the intricate interplay of gender dimensions in shaping ACS outcomes among young females. Integrating these insights into clinical practice and research can enhance care, mitigate disparities, and foster improved cardiovascular health in this vulnerable population.},

abstract = {Background: Less than one-third of people with epilepsy will develop drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Establishing the prognosis of each unique epilepsy case is an important part of evaluation and treatment.Most studies on DRE prognosis have been based on a pooled, heterogeneous group, including children, adults, and older adults, in the absence of clear recognition and control of important confounders, such as age group. Furthermore, previous studies were done before the 2010 definition of DRE by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), so data based on the current definitions have not been entirely elucidated. This study aimed to explore the difference between 3 definitions of DRE and clinical predictors of DRE in adults and older adults.Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of epilepsy ascertained at a Single Seizure Clinic (SSC) in Saskatchewan, Canada were included if they had at least 1 year of follow-up. The first study outcome was the diagnosis of DRE epilepsy at follow-up using the 2010 ILAE definition. This was compared with 2 alternative definitions of DRE by Kwan and Brodie and Camfield and Camfield. Finally, risk factors were analyzed using the ILAE definition.Results: In total, 95 patients with a new diagnosis of epilepsy and a median follow-up of 24 months were included. The median age of patients at the diagnosis of epilepsy was 33 years, and 51% were men. In the cohort, 32% of patients were diagnosed with DRE by the Kwan and Brodie definition, 10% by Camfield and Camfield definition, and 15% by the ILAE definition by the end of follow-up. The only statistically significant risk factor for DRE development was the failure to respond to the first anti-seizure medication (ASM).Conclusion: There were important differences in the percentage of patients diagnosed with DRE when using 3 concurrent definitions. However, the use of the ILAE definition appeared to be the most consistent through an extended follow-up. Finally, failure to respond to the first ASM was the sole significant risk factor for DRE in the cohort after considering the age group.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: There are no Colombian studies published that assess non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) risk factors in children. OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated with NSLBP in 73 children (19.2% girls) aged 10\textendash12 years in one military school in Bucaramanga, Colombia. METHODS: A questionnaire was used to obtain information of risk factors. Subsequently, children’s weight and height were measured. The backpack was weighed at the beginning of each day from Monday to Friday. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated, with their respective 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: The one-month prevalence of NSLBP was 39.7% (95% CI 28.4\textendash51.9). In the multivariate analysis, carrying backpacks wearing between 12% and 20% of body weight, having a perception that the backpack is very heavy, and being a passive smoker increase the likelihood of NSLBP, while being 11-year-old compared to 10-year-old decreases the likelihood of having NSLBP, adjusted for gender, body mass index, and history of LBP in parents. CONCLUSIONS: High prevalence of low back pain was found in children between 10 and 12 years old. The study of the decisive factors of low back pain is important to identify children at risk, as well as to develop efficient primary prevention programs.},

The objective of this study was to determine the association between socioeconomic factors and z score height for age (HAZ) in preschool of the Colombo-German Foundation of Floridablanca, Colombia. A cross-sectional study was conducted. A random sample of 112 (2 to 5 years old) preschool of an institution for the low-income population was measured and weighed; their parents/caregivers answered a survey. The mean HAZ in preschool who live in households with more than one child (a) under 7 was lower compared with households with a child (a) under 7 years. Children living in housing with tenure called "possession untitled" scored lower mean HAZ compared with homeownership. Children living in households where the mother was the one who brings home were more HAZ compared with homes where the contributor was the father; this association remained in boys. In girls, none of the variables of the final model was found associated with HAZ. It is important to strengthen programs aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of the mothers who are household heads.},

The multiple generalized linear models showed in the whole sample that BMIZ significantly decreased with household's socioeconomic strata 1 and 2 compared with strata zero, and in high-income families. In girls, BMIZ significantly increased when another family member, neighbour, or friend was responsible for deciding about feeding on weekdays. In boys, BMIZ increased when they ate alone and when their grandmother was responsible for preparing food on weekdays. It is conceded that socioeconomic factors influencing BMIZ are similar to those that influence health inequity},

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study. 80 women (34 ± 11.9 years) selected by convenience were surveyed by interview, between March and May 2011. Association was established by simple and multiple Poisson regressions. The dependent variable was urinary incontinence defined as a score greater than zero on the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). 



Results: The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 63.75% (95% CI 52.24 to 74.21), the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence was 50% (95% CI 38.8 to 61.2) and urgency was 11.3% (95% CI 4.2 to 18.3). In multivariate analysis, we found no association between active smoking and urinary incontinence [PR 1.6 (95% CI 1.3-2.1)]. 



Conclusion: Identifying risk factors associated with urinary incontinence is important to develop interventions that reduce the burden of this phenomenon in the

general population.},

Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study inferential, the population was of 971 records of volunteer blood donors, we calculated the prevalence of HTLV and calculated odds ratios (OR). 



Results: 49.3 % of donors were between 18 and 33 years, 53.4 % were female, 44.3 % lived with a partner, it was observed that the major syphilis coinfections are 7.0 %. There is a trend to increased prevalence of HTLV between 2010 (0.23 %) and 2011 (0.24 %) in the process of Bogot\'{a}. Headquarters in related factors associated, a positive association was found with increasing age and living with a partner, and negative association with the contributory system in multiple Poisson regression showed that the prevalence of co-infection is 2.92 (95 % CI 1.92 to 4.45) times in people 34 to 64 years compared to under 34 years, also the contributory scheme protects coinfection 0.69 (95 % CI 0.48-0.99) in people with contributory scheme compared to the subsidized regime. 



Conclusi\'{o}n: In general there is a significant proportion of donors with reactive results are set out clearly and factors associated with coinfection prevalence is higher than in other reports.

Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in a random sample of 186 preschool children aged 3-6 years from 7 Floridablanca's CH. Researchers interviewed parents and measured the weight and height of children, parents, and caregivers. The analysis was conducted by way of single and multiple binomial regression models. 

Results: Underestimating the weight of the children was 44.6%, 46.3%, 45% and 44.2% for the mother, father, grandparents and uncles, respectively. The underestimation was associated with the child' sex (mother: 1.59 95% CI 1.11-2.29 RP; father: PR2.00 95% CI 1.1-3.6), education (PR 1.42 95 1.05-1.92%), occupation (PR 1.05 95% CI 1.05-1.05) and obesity's history in the mother (PR 1.51 95% CI 1.10-2.08) and the current weight of the father (PR 2.31 95% CI 1.1 to 5.0). 

Conclusions: A high proportion of families of children do not perceive overweight and obesity. Issues such as the child's sex, occupation and education of the mother and obesity in both parents must be considered when we will educate parents on the recognition of obesity as a public health problem.},
