Impact of Arrhythmia in Hospital Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Northern Mexico
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death globally. 1 In Mexico, it represents the 6th cause of death2 and contributes with 688.19 DALYs per 100,000 people,3 constituting a major cause of burden of disease in the country. Heart rhythm dysfunctions following acute ischemic strokes (AIS) have been previously reported,4 –9 and it is expected that 25-30% of patients will be diagnosed with any type of arrhythmia after stroke.6,9 Kallmünze et al. reported the incidence of several post-stroke arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), focal atrial tachycardia, undetermined supraventricular tachycardia, ventricu la...

Public and Private Hospital Care Disparities of Ischemic Stroke in Mexico: Results from the Primer Registro Mexicano de Isquemia Cerebral (PREMIER) Study
Mortality and bad outcome by stroke are higher in developing countries than in industrialized countries. Health-care system efficiency could explain these disparities. Our objective was to identify the impact on short- and middle-term outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) among public and private Mexican medical care.

Race/Ethnicity Considerations in the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke
AbstractPurpose of reviewTo describe racial and ethnic considerations that exist for the prevention and treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.Recent findingsMultiple studies have characterized stroke disparities. The Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Stroke Study (GCNKSS) found that Black individuals have nearly twice the rates of stroke compared to White individuals. Differences in the incidence of stroke risk factors, both inherited and acquired, contribute to these disparities. Black individuals have an earlier age of onset, a longer duration, and greater severity of hypertension compared to White individuals....

Grace Under Pressure: Resiliency of Quality Monitoring of Stroke Care During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Mexico City
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability among adults worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared a COVID-19 pandemic on March 11, 2020. The first case in Mexico was confirmed in February 2020, subsequently becoming one of the countries most affected by the pandemic. In 2020, The National Institute of Neurology of Mexico started a Quality assurance program for stroke care, consisting of registering, monitoring and feedback of stroke quality measures through the RES-Q platform. We aim to describe changes in the demand for stroke healthcare assistance at the National Institute of Neu...

How heat stroke kills
Sunday's tragic discovery of dead, dying and injured undocumented immigrants, who had made the journey from Mexico to Texas crammed in the back of a sweltering metal tractor-trailer, raises many questions about heat stroke. Eight of these human trafficking victims were found dead and two died at the hospital. Twenty-eight others suffered various injuries, according to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. The San Antonio fire chief warned Sunday that many of those who survived will have "irreversible brain damage."

Extreme Heat Is Endangering America ’ s Workers —And Its Economy

7 A.M.: COPELAND FARMS—ROCHELLE, GA
Just after dawn on a recent July day in Rochelle, Ga., Silvia Moreno Ayala steps into a pair of sturdy work pants, slips on a long-sleeved shirt, and slathers her face and hands with sunscreen. She drapes a flowered scarf over her wide-brimmed hat to protect her neck and back from the punishing rays of the sun. There isn’t much she can do about the humidity, however. Morning is supposed to be the coolest part of the day, but sweat is already pooling in her rubber boots.

Teamwork and toughness: Living with cerebral palsy
Growing up in Querétaro, Mexico, María was an exceptionally bright and inquisitive child. At just 18 months old, she spoke at the level of a 6-year-old, and could even sing the tongue-twisting “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” song. Her parents marveled at her intelligence at such a young age, but there was something in her development that seemed off.
“At 1 year, she wasn’t crawling well and had difficulty standing,” her mother, María José, recalls. “She hadn’t learned to walk by 18 months, and she would crawl by pulling her two legs at the same time — like a little bunny.” Her parents knew that s...
