Communication with teenagers who are significantly affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is essential for the sake of prevention. The aim of this study is to develop a specific questionnaire for surveying the degree of knowledge, behavior, and attitudes of current teenagers and young adults on STIs to come up with the proper training tools. We conducted the study following the Delphi method, a 2-round critical assessment score (from 1 to 9) of all domains and items. Only domains and items with median scores ≥ 8 were selected...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Recently, great advances have been made in the development of new monoclonal antibodies and vaccines thanks to the recognition of the structural conformation of virus proteins. The objective of this study was to review the advances related to the prevention of RSV infection in the first 6 months of life. Advances in structural biology have shown that the RSV fusion protein (F-Protein) in its prefusion state (Pre-F) is an excellent antigen for developing monoclonal antibodies and vaccines to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections...

INTRODUCTION: The variability in expression and evolution of COVID is not completely explained by clinical factors. In fact, genetic factors play an important role. Moreover, it is unknown whether the genetic factor that contribute to susceptibility and severity are also involved in the onset and evolution of long-COVID. The objective of this review is to gather information from literature to understand which genetic factors are involved in the onset of persistent COVID. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Systematic review in PubMed and bioRxiv and medRxiv repositories based on MeSH-descriptors and MeSH-terms related to COVID and genetic factors...

Health care-associated infections are common in neonatology, but there is no consensus on their definitions. This makes it difficult to compare their incidence or assess the effectiveness of prevention bundles. This is why we think it is very important to achieve a consensus on the definitions and diagnostic criteria for one of the most frequent causes of morbidity in hospitalised neonates. This document aims to standardise the definitions for the most frequent health care-associated infections, such as catheter-associated bloodstream infection, ventilator-associated pneumonia and surgical wound infection, as well as the approach to their diagnosis and treatment...

BACKGROUND: Lung ultrasound is a bedside tool that allows the evaluation of pulmonary parenchymal involvement in pediatric patients through the lung ultrasound score (LUS). We aimed to evaluate a group of patients under 3 years of age with lower respiratory tract infections using LUS at the Hospital Infantil del Estado de Sonora. METHODS: We included patients younger than 3 years admitted to the emergency department with lower respiratory tract infections. A lung ultrasound was performed within the first 24 h of admission to the emergency department and evaluated using LUS...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Vancomycin powder (VP) has been positively used in spinal surgery to reduce the rate of infections. Hardly any data have been published on hip and knee joint replacement surgery, and its usefulness is questioned. Our objective was to investigate the effectiveness of VP in reducing prosthetic infection and its possible complications.
