A recent study conducted in Mexico by the Instituto Nacional de Perinatologia focused on severe cases of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in infants. The study highlighted the challenges faced by infants with CMV infections, including neurological compromise, hydrocephalus, and thrombocytopenia. The researchers emphasized the importance of antenatal screening for CMV infection in pregnant women to reduce the risk of fetal damage. The study was supported by the Hospital Infantil de Mexico Federico Gomez and provides valuable insights into the impact of CMV infections on infants in Mexico. [Extracted from the article]

A report from the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia in Ciudad de Mexico discusses the relationship between benzene exposure and pediatric leukemia. Leukemia is a common form of cancer in children, and benzene, an aromatic hydrocarbon, is known to be a carcinogen. The report highlights the need for further research on the effects of benzene on pediatric leukemia, as most studies have focused on occupational exposure and have primarily been conducted on adults. The researchers emphasize the importance of epidemiological efforts in understanding the impact of benzene on the pediatric population. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the Nacional Institute of Pediatrics in Mexico aimed to identify potential allergenic proteins in apples that could cause allergic reactions in Mexican pediatric patients. The researchers collected serum samples from 14 pediatric patients with confirmed apple allergies and used immunoproteomic techniques to assess immunoreactivity to apple protein extracts. They identified 11 non-redundant proteins, including Mal d 2 and Mal d 1, which were considered the main apple allergenic proteins. The study suggests that the repertoire of apple allergens in the Mexican population may differ from those reported internationally, highlighting the importance of country-specific studies for accurate allergy diagnosis and precision medicine implementation.

A recent study conducted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) examined the relationship between changes in functional networks, cognitive changes, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in maltreated children. The study found that maltreated children often exhibit neuropsychological deficits in areas such as memory, attention, language, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Additionally, abused children with PTSD showed increased connectivity in the salience network and decreased connectivity in the default and executive networks. The study also explored the impact of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) on these children and found correlations between changes in PTSD symptoms and changes in the left insula node. Furthermore, significant correlations were identified between changes in functional connectivity, attention, memory, and performance in cognitive tasks. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the National Medical Center in Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico, examined the effects of anthracycline treatment on childhood cancer survivors. The study found that anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, a common complication, can occur even in survivors. The researchers evaluated the maximum aerobic power, quality of life, and left ventricular ejection fraction in 12 patients who had undergone anthracycline treatment. The results showed that all patients had a left ventricular ejection fraction above 60%, but low quality of life scores were observed in the physical and psychosocial aspects. The study suggests that physical evaluations should be performed alongside the detection of cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors, as physical condition and cardiotoxicity may not necessarily be dependent on each other.

A new report discusses research on Legg-Calve-Perthes Syndrome (LCPD), an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the pediatric femoral head. The study focuses on the potential role of bone remodeling and bone structural genes in the progression of LCPD. A case-control study was conducted to investigate associations between common polymorphisms in certain genes and LCPD susceptibility in Mexican children. The research found that two specific polymorphisms, opg Rs2073618 and il-6 Rs1800795, were associated with a higher risk of LCPD in Mexican patients. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the genetic factors contributing to LCPD. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted in Tlaxcala, Mexico, examined the relationship between exposure to trace elements and early kidney damage biomarkers in a pediatric population. The study found that certain trace elements, such as copper and iodine, were associated with impaired renal function, while selenium appeared to have a beneficial effect. The research suggests that interactions between different trace elements may influence the expression of specific biomarkers. These findings highlight the potential health hazards associated with toxic metal exposure or disturbed homeostasis of trace elements in children. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the Nacional Institute of Pediatrics in Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico, examined the outcomes of airway management in pediatric patients with difficult tracheal intubations. The study found that efforts to reduce repeated attempts and persistence with direct laryngoscopy resulted in fewer attempts, fewer direct laryngoscopy attempts, and a decrease in complications. The current cohort had a higher first-attempt success rate, fewer attempts at intubation, and reduced persistence with direct laryngoscopy compared to an earlier cohort. Severe complications and cardiac arrests also decreased in the current cohort. The study suggests that limiting direct laryngoscopy and promoting rapid transition to advanced techniques can enhance patient safety. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) aimed to characterize the brain uptake of [F] fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in pediatric patients with non-central nervous system diseases. The study included 795 FDG-PET examinations from children under 18 years old. The results showed that brain glycolytic metabolism increased with age until early adolescence, with variations across different brain regions. Additionally, there were significant hemispheric asymmetries in temporal and central regions. The study concluded that age, sex, and brain region all influence FDG uptake in pediatric patients.
