Hepatitis is a liver inflammation which has different etiologies, it can be caused pharmacologically or can be associated with fatty liver or alcohol consumption. However, viral infection as the most important cause. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published reports of outbreaks of hepatitis of unknown etiology in several countries in children less than 16 years. In this review we describe the general aspects of viral hepatitis, the molecular description of the hepatotropic viruses, laboratory findings, molecular diagnosis, prevention strategies. In addition, the main characteristics of some viruses that are not hepatotropic but have been previously reported to be related to some types of hepatitis are mentioned. Finally, a brief description of new cases of hepatitis of unknown origin is given and the adverse effects of SARS COV-2 vaccines are briefly discussed.

Allergic responses represent a significant health problem due to the ineffectiveness of current treatments, as they attempt to decrease the immune response triggered but are unable to create immune memory that reduces the intensity of such response, so the intensity of the response will always be the same as the first time. An allergic response is characterized by the exacerbated and prolonged release of immunoglobulin E (IgE) that triggers innate immune responses due to the activation of T lymphocytes towards a Th2 phenotype, responsible for the release of interleukins 3 and 4 (IL-3 and IL-4), and the activation of B lymphocytes towards IgE-producing plasma cells. Currently, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used as treatment for various allergic pathologies as they can be used to inhibit the signaling pathways of various interleukins, inactivating the differentiation of T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and the production of IgE. One of the most versatile mAbs in the treatment of various allergic responses is Dupilumab, which is designed to inhibit the signaling chain of IL-3 and IL-4, more specifically, it binds to the α receptor of IL-4 and the cytokine-induced receptor complex IL-13. Dupilumab inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 through receptor 1, stopping the release of IgE and proinflammatory cytokines. This treatment can be used to control the inflammatory response caused by allergens. On the other hand, the use of Dupilumab is not patented as the treatment of choice for allergic pathologies. Therefore, in this review, we compile the results of clinical studies of Dupilumab and other mAbs in atopic dermatitis (AD), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and asthma, with the aim of determining which of the mAbs has provided better results.

Introduction: Overweight and obesity have progressively increased in recent years. Online consultation has become a useful tool for healthcare professionals and patients that cannot be assisted through face-to-face consultation. Objectives: Our study aimed to compare the efficacy between online and face-to-face consultation as a strategy in the management of overweight and obesity. Material and Methods: An experimental, cross-sectional study was carried out in 88 patients between 25-30 years old. Patients were classified into two groups of 44 individuals: online and face-to-face consultation. Nutritional evaluations were conducted in each consultation, which comprised of anthropometric, dietetic, and physical assessments. The therapy consisted of individually designed menus made by a specialist and other recommendations based on the World Health Association (WHO) guidelines. Results: Most patients in both groups achieved normal anthropometric measurements after the intervention (41/44 face-to-face group; 39/44 online group). Intragroup analysis (before and after intervention) of body mass index (BMI), weight, and fat percentage in both groups revealed a significant improvement after the intervention (p<0.0001). Intergroup analysis of BMI (p<0.4031), weight (p<0.2265), and fat percentage (p<0.3872) showed no significant difference. The analysis of efficacy revealed an efficacy of up to 95% in the online consultation group when compared to the face-to-face consultation one. Conclusions: No significant difference was found between online and face-to-face groups. The efficacy of online consultation was 95%. These results allow us to conclude that online and face-to-face consultation have a similar efficacy.

Introduction: Gamified digital platforms allow non-health related individuals to learn about the prevention, management and treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a new gamified digital platform increases learning about the prevention of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and T2DM. Methods: An exploratory, randomized, cause-effect study was carried out in 150 children between 10 and 12 years of age. Three exploratory, cause-effect experiments were designed to evaluate each one of the following pathologies: T2DM, obesity and metabolic syndrome. For each experiment, two study groups of 25 individuals each were formed. The experimental group was asked to use the digital platform that contained the information on the pathology under study in an animated storytelling and playful way. The control group received written information about each pathology. The assessment was carried out by applying a validated questionnaire including basic questions about the three diseases. This test was performed before and after the intervention. Results: We found a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the post-intervention knowledge acquired within the experimental group about metabolic syndrome, obesity, and T2DM when using the digital platform and compared to the control group. Children in the control group significantly improved their scores after the intervention compared to their baseline ones. Conclusion: Gamified digital platforms have the potential to be a novel primary prevention method for metabolic diseases. The present study allows us to conclude that any validated learning instrument increases knowledge about metabolic diseases. However, gamified digital platforms significantly increase learning compared to other types of methods (written information).

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common malignant tumor in HIV-infected individuals. Although its most common form consists of skin and mucosal lesions, it can also present itself in a disseminated way affecting the gastrointestinal tract, lungs and eye structures. We present the case of a 27-year-old male patient with HIV infection and disseminated Kaposi sarcoma. Disseminated KS is an uncommon form of the disease. Therefore, it is important to take this into account, particularly in HIV-infected individuals with characteristic cutaneous lesions.

Introduction: To this date there is no systematic study that reviews which anatomical zone has a higher incidence of injuries in four different dance styles: hip-hop, classical ballet, contemporary dance, and Irish dancing. Objective: Summarize and determine the incidence of injuries by anatomical zones in elite, pre-professional and professional dancers who practice one of the following dance styles: ballet, contemporary dance, hip-hop and Irish dancing. Methods: Articles were searched according to the following criteria: year of publication (between 2016 and 2022), observational and cohort studies published in English, full text available, and analysis of the incidence of injuries in the dance styles of hip-hop, classical ballet, contemporary dance, and Irish dancing. MESH terms and Boolean operators used for the search were “injury AND dancers AND incidence”. Data sources: Databases used were ProQuest, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Clinical Key and ScienceDirect. Results: A total of 511 records were identified, and only 19 were included for the analysis. The results of the reviewed literature revealed that the ankle was the anatomical zone with the highest incidence to suffer an injury (62.9%), overuse injuries had a higher incidence rate (63%), and the joint/ligament was the most common musculoskeletal type of injury (36.84%). Conclusion: Overall, the lower extremity had the highest injury incidence rate; even though the four different dance styles have different techniques and biomechanics, the most reported anatomical zone to suffer an injury was the ankle.

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, isolation and reduction in mobility have increased the rate of depression and anxiety. This paper reviews the incidence of mood disorders and functional decline in older adults during this period. Methods: We used the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Goldberg anxiety Scale, the Lawton and Brody, and Katz scales to draw our conclusions. Results: A total of 237 patients were clinically evaluated, being 163 women and 74 men. Of the 163 women in the study, 117 suffered from anxiety and 122 from depression. Also, 75 women out of the 163 included in the study, had COVID-19. Of the 74 men evaluated, 35 presented symptoms of anxiety and 27 of depression, the group age that presented the most anxiety were adults between 60 and 69 years old, and depression between 80 and 89 years old. Of these men, 22 had COVID-19. Conclusion: Confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic has increased depression and anxiety levels in older adults, which in turn has had significant impact on their mental health.

Introduction: The importance of social networks is growing, impacting everyday life. At this stage of global COVID-19 vaccination roll-out, hesitancy to get immunized is slowing this process; it is thought that this decision could be impacted by information shared on social networks. Objective: Determine whether the use of social networks is associated with the willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the ENSANUT COVID-19 study, that measures the impact of the pandemic on the Mexican population. Only older adults, aged 65 years or older, were included in this work. Face to face interviews were performed to determine social network utilization, willingness to get vaccinated, and socio-demographic information on health and COVID-19. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were performed. Results: From a total of 1,490 older adults, 59.3 % were women whose mean age was 73.5 (SD 6.8), and 53.3% (n = 795) were willing to get a COVID-19 vaccine when available. In an adjusted multivariate logistic regression model, WhatsApp was found to be a significant variable related to lower risk of vaccine hesitancy (OR 0.43, 95% CI, 0.2–0.85; p = 0.016). Other variables related to vaccine hesitancy were being a woman (OR 1.58, 95% CI, 2–1.23; p < 0.001) and COVID-19 literacy (OR 1.32, 95% CI, 1.01–1.74; p = 0.047). Conclusion: The use of social networks such as WhatsApp is a factor that can influence older adult vaccination against COVID-19. Social networks, among other variables, should be taken into account when analyzing factors that lead to vaccination hesitancy in older adults.

Introduction: New metabolomic biomarkers as Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provide relevant information on patients with insulin resistance and prediabetes. QuantoseTM IR is a novel metabolomic test to assess insulin resistance for screening and monitoring. Establishing a correlation between these variables is useful in clinical practice and, to our knowledge, there are no published studies that explore the relationship between Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using BIA in patients with prediabetes. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between Quantose™ IR and BIA anthropometric variables (fat mass, FM; fat mass index, FMI; and body mass index, BMI) in Mexican patients with prediabetes, overweight, and obesity. Materials and Methods: This is an observational, transversal analytic study in 135 patients of both genders between 20 and 65 years of age, BMI 25.0–34.9, with diagnosis of prediabetes. The Quantose™ IR test was performed as well as anthropometric measurements (FM, FMI, and BMI) using BIA taken with Inbody 230TM. Pearson’s correlations and independent sample t-tests were estimated with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: 135 patients were studied; 77% were female, aged 46 years in average. The prevalence of insulin resistance by Quantose™ IR was 71.1%. A positive correlation was confirmed between Quantose™ IR and FM, FMI, and BMI (p < 0.05). Patients with altered Quantose™ IR had higher FM, FMI, and BMI (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The data here presented confirm the existence of a positive and statistically significant correlation between Quantose™ IR and anthropometric measurements using BIA. This information may be useful for diagnosis and treatment in prediabetic, overweight, and obese patients.

Introduction: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a disease with increasing incidence and prevalence, favored by biological, psychological, familial, and social factors. Management must be interdisciplinary, involving the intervention of nutritionists and psychologists. Additionally, it is important to evaluate the effect of an early or a late onset of the intervention. Objective: To determine if early nutrition-based intervention along with psychological support leads to a decrease in the symptoms associated with Anorexia Nervosa, when compared with late intervention. Methods: To evaluate the above parameters, an exploratory study was proposed with a design of non-randomized clinical trial and a non-probability purposive sampling of n = 17 women with AN between 12 and 25 years of age (x̄ = 16.8 ± 3.6). According to the moment of the nutritional intervention with psychological support, the 17 women were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 10) start the intervention in the first six months after the onset of the disease while Group 2 (n = 7) started 3 years after the disease. The nutritional and psychological carried out consisted of three phases: individualized nutritional assessment, design of the meal plan according to the metabolic needs of each patient and nutritional indications, and an individualized psychological intervention. Both interventions were carried out once a week for six months, for a total of 24 psychological and nutritional sessions. The physical variables of body mass index (BMI) and arm muscle area (AMA) were measured. To assess emotional changes, the body image dissatisfaction subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) was used. Results: Six months after follow-up, the results showed statistically significant changes in the BMI (p <,0.01), AMA (p <,0.01) and body image dissatisfaction (p <,0.01) after the intervention. It was found that the early-intervention group presented lower values in BMI and AMA as compared to the late-intervention patients while both groups showed a marked reduction in body image dissatisfaction values. The late-intervention group presented the sharpest reduction. There was no significant difference in the variables BMI and AMA in the intragroup comparisons. Conclusion: The early-onset nutritional intervention with psychological support decreased the physical and emotional symptoms associated with AN.
