Re-emerging threat of Trypanosoma cruzi vector transmission in El Salvador, update from 2018 to 2020
ConclusionsOur comprehensive study revealed substantialT. cruzi infection ofT. dimidiata across the country, indicating potential active transmission of the disease. Therefore, strengthened surveillance for both vector and human infection is required to truly eliminate the risk ofT. cruzi transmission in Central America. (Source: Infectious Diseases of Poverty)

Defining availability of 100 essential diagnostic items for children with cancer and gaps in implementing WHO recommendations: Global CEDx Working Group survey
This study established the availability of a core set of 100 essential diagnostic items recommended by WHO in low-income and middle-income countries in different phases of expanding access to care for children with cancer. A scarcity of essential laboratory and pathology, surgery and anaesthesia, and imaging diagnostics in all settings were identified, as well as a disproportionate lack of access for patients in the public setting, further disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study explored local awareness and factors affecting adoption and implementation of WHO recommendations and priorities for policy action. Our fin...

Gangs, violence, and fear: punitive Darwinism in El Salvador
This article evaluates the factors impacting support for tough on crime policies in El Salvador. Examining theoretical and empirical scholarly work, we look at how fear, together with social and political contexts drive public appetite for punitive policies towards criminals. We show that President Nayib Bukele is responding to public opinion and has implemented tough on crime policies at the expense of human rights violations and democratic institutions. Society favors candidates who are the “toughest” against criminal actors. Political candidates from all sides of the ideological spectrum tap into the fear of the pop...

Meaningless gestures or pathway to healing and reconciliation? Comparing the perspectives on political apologies in victim and non-victim communities in El Salvador, the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom
Br J Soc Psychol. 2022 Jul 1. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12556. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolitical apologies have been theorized to play an important role in healing and reconciliation processes in post-conflict settings. Whether they actually fulfil this function, however, remains unclear as the voices and perspectives of victim communities have largely been underrepresented in research. To address this, we examined the role of apologies that were offered for the El Mozote massacre (El Salvador), the Jeju 4.3 massacres (Republic of Korea) and Bloody Sunday (United Kingdom), according to members of these communities and the br...

Large difference but high correlation between creatinine and cystatin C estimated glomerular filtration rate in Mesoamerican sugarcane cutters
Conclusions
Creatinine increases among heat-stressed workers reflect reduced glomerular filtration as estimated using eGFRcys, a marker independent of muscle mass and metabolism. The discrepancy between eGFRcr and eGFRcys may indicate reduced glomerular filtration of larger molecules and/or systemic bias in CKD-EPI performance in this population.

Cancers, Vol. 14, Pages 2776: Cervical Cancer Prevention in El Salvador: Gains to Date and Challenges for the Future
C. Felix
Miriam Cremer
Cervical cancer is preventable through vaccination, early detection, and the treatment of pre-cancerous lesions. However, global inequalities mean that the disease remains a leading cause of cancer death around the world, with over 80% of new cases and 90% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In El Salvador, joint efforts between the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the non-profit organization Basic Health International (BHI) have been in place since 2008, with the goal of reducing the country’s disease burden. While the World Health Organization&r...

Validation of Brief Condom Use Attitudes Scales for Spanish-Speaking People Who Use Crack Cocaine in El Salvador
Arch Sex Behav. 2022 May 4. doi: 10.1007/s10508-021-02193-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople who use crack cocaine (PWUCC) are a population severely impacted by a concentrated epidemic of HIV. Behavioral interventions to prevent and treat HIV among PWUCC have been implemented around the world including in low- and middle-income countries which have been disproportionately affected by HIV. However, few studies have validated and assessed psychometric properties of measures on PWUCC, especially in transnational populations. Our sample was comprised of 1324 PWUCC, Spanish mono-lingual speakers, residing in the metropolit...
