LGBTQIA+ Hospitalists Find Their Comfort Zones
Hospitalists who are part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other (LGBTQIA+) community have had an array of experiences, both in medical school and professionally, related to their personal identity. While many see real progress and describe their workplace as welcoming, these same hospitalists have had previous struggles with fitting in. Some find themselves still fielding unusual comments from colleagues, which they dodge with humor or sincere curiosity.
The Hospitalist recently spoke with five hospitalists who shared more about their challenges and opportunities as members of the ...

Mexicans Dig Through Collapsed Buildings as Quake Kills 225
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police, firefighters and ordinary Mexicans dug frantically through the rubble of collapsed schools, homes and apartment buildings Wednesday, looking for survivors of Mexico's deadliest earthquake in decades as the number of confirmed fatalities stood at 225.
Adding poignancy and a touch of the surreal, Tuesday's magnitude-7.1 quake struck on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 earthquake that killed thousands. Just hours earlier, people around Mexico had held earthquake drills to mark the date.
One of the most desperate rescue efforts was at a primary and secondary school in southern Mexico City, where a ...

More Buildings, Perhaps Lives at Risk Following Mexico Quake
MEXICO CITY (AP) — As many as 360 buildings and homes are in danger of collapse or with major damage in Mexico City nearly a week after a magnitude 7.1 earthquake collapsed 38 structures.
The risk of delayed collapse is real: The cupola of Our Lady of Angels Church, damaged and cracked by the Sept. 19 quake, split in half and crashed to the ground Sunday evening. There were no injuries.
Nervous neighbors continued calling police Monday as apparently new cracks appeared in their apartment buildings or existing ones worsened, even as the city struggled to get back to normality.
Education Secretary Aurelio Nuno said M...

The Influence of Education and Apolipoprotein ε4 on Mortality in Community-Dwelling Elderly Men and Women.
Authors: Appiah D, Baumgartner RN
Abstract
We investigated the risk of death in relation to the apolipoprotein ε4 allele and evaluated how it interacts with education in 504 elderly adults (mean age 73 years, 65.3% women) who were enrolled in 1993 into the New Mexico Aging Process Study. During 9 years of follow-up, apolipoprotein ε2 appeared to be associated with a lower risk for all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-1.71) compared to apolipoprotein ε3 carriers in models adjusted for age, sociodemographic variables, medical conditions, adiposity, and lifestyle fac...

Education, Place of Residence and Utilization of Legal Abortion Services in Mexico City, 2013-2015.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings, in conjunction with the literature on unsafe abortion in Mexico, suggest that women from outside Mexico City who have low levels of education may be less likely than their more educated peers to benefit from the safe abortion services provided in the city.

Why are tapeworm carriers so difficult to find? A methodological proposal for their search and recovery
This study is aimed to find and evaluate T. solium carriers, describing some characteristics of these patients and the treatment. Taeniasis cases were searched for in various Mexican states from 1983 to 2016. Previous informed consent, tapeworm-carrier patients were administered with niclosamide and a saline purge. Parasite specimens were recovered and identified, both morphologically and by PCR. From 117 treated patients, Taenia sp. specimens were obtained from 46 subjects (47.8%). From these, complete parasites were recovered from 42 (90.5%), and only detached proglottids from 4 patients. Cases were more frequent in More...

Florida Hurricane Death Toll Proves Elusive
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — In Florida, a grim task is unwinding slowly: Finding out how many people were killed in Hurricane Michael.
The storm that ravaged Florida's Panhandle left incredible destruction stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the state border, but getting a firm grasp on how many died is proving somewhat elusive.
The state has officially acknowledged just two deaths so far — and one death was in northeast Florida, far from the ground-zero fury of the Category 4 storm.
Meanwhile, search and rescue teams have crawled and walked through thousands of buildings and ruins for days in places like Mexico Beach, ...
