Frailty syndrome and end-stage kidney disease outcomes at a Latin American dialysis center
CONCLUSIONS: Literature shows that compared to developed nations, Latin American adults are facing a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and frailty syndrome is raising. In this study, according to the FRAIL scale, having a frailty syndrome predicts a higher mortality; hypoalbuminemia and low creatinine levels at the beginning of dialysis could act as predictors of its diagnosis.PMID:38207151 | PMC:PMC10911819 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7057 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Relationship between physical activity, sedentarism and obesity in adults, Colombia, 2015
Conclusion. Obesity is a health problem for the adult population, with a higher prevalence in women and in those over 30 years old. It is related to non-compliance with the recommendations about physical activity and sedentary behaviors (which are more prevalent in Afro-descendants), high wealth quartile status, and to reside in urban areas and to live in the Bogotá area.PMID:38207152 | PMC:PMC10941826 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7014 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Comparison between anthropometric measurements and indices to evaluate general and abdominal obesity, Colombia ENSIN 2015
Conclusions. Abdominal obesity regardless of the indicator used, is about 3 times higher than general obesity by BMI and waist-height index identifies more people, especially men, with abdominal obesity compared to waist circumference.PMID:38207153 | PMC:PMC10911818 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7011 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

The Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment (OLGA) system as a marker for gastric cancer and dysplasia in a Colombian population at risk: A multicenter study
Conclusions. The OLGA staging system is a risk marker for gastric cancer and dysplasia in the studied population. We recommend its implementation to improve the timely diagnosis and follow-up of patients with the highest cancer risk.PMID:38207154 | PMC:PMC10916539 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6995 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Characterization of patients with acutely decompensated cirrhosis who received care in different highly complex emergency services of Medell ín, Colombia
CONCLUSION: Patients who consult the emergency services due to acute decompensation of cirrhosis demand a high amount of health resources, frequently present associated complications, and a high percentage requires management in critical care units and shows a high in-hospital mortality rate.PMID:38207155 | PMC:PMC10901446 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6963 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Effectiveness of cryotherapy delivered by nurses for treatment of cervical preneoplasic lesions
Conclusions. Cure and regression rates by colposcopic verification are like those reported for cryotherapy delivered by doctors. The sample size (CIN2/3) hinders comparisons by type of verification. Our findings support the implementation of screen-and-treat algorithms by nurses among populations with limited access to health services.PMID:38207156 | PMC:PMC10901276 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6966 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Spot urinary sodium as a prognostic marker for mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure
Conclusion. Patients with urinary sodium <70 mEq/L had more severe signs. In a bivariate analysis, urinary sodium was associated with mortality at 180 days.PMID:38207157 | PMC:PMC10941827 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6920 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Artificial intelligence model for early detection of diabetes
Conclusions. Fuzzy cognitive maps demonstrated a high value for the early identification of the disease and in clinical decision-making. The results suggest the potential of these approaches in clinical applications related to diabetes and support their usefulness in medical practice to improve patient outcomes.PMID:38207148 | PMC:PMC10946312 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7147 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

B-cell lymphocytosis in relatives of Colombian patients with chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders
Conclusions. The frequency and behavior of monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis in patients with family history of chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders are like those found in related studies, which suggests that there is no involvement of more relevant genes that can trigger uncontrolled clonal proliferation, but that generates immunological deregulation that could justify a greater risk of serious infection in these individuals.PMID:38207149 | PMC:PMC10895924 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7099 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)
