Current status and challenges in timely detection of cervical cancer in Mexico: expert consensus.

Cervical cancer is a significant public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, accounting for 85% of new cases worldwide. Due to poorly organized screening programs, cervical cancer is more likely to develop in vulnerable groups who do not initiate or rarely undergo screening. Cervical cytology and detecting high-risk human papillomavirus types are the recommended screening tools. Further, these strategies allow for accurately identifying women at a higher risk of cervical cancer and establishing screening times. New detection tools, such as novel biomarkers or automatic HPV detection in the vagina or urine, can improve screening coverage. This review aims to identify the challenges faced by detection programs and screening tools in Mexico to provide evidence-based recommendations to improve early detection programs for cervical cancer.

[Results of the First Mexican Consensus of Vaccination in the Adult]. / Resultados del Primer Consenso Mexicano de Vacunación en el Adulto.

For years our efforts have been focused on vaccination during childhood. Today we know that this is not enough to ensure health in the rest of the life. Childhood is as important as any other stage and, therefore, vaccination must be permanent and differentiated, according to our age, throughout life. Introducing a life course perspective in vaccination programs, with emphasis on adult vaccination, particularly in older adults, offers us the opportunity to review the performance of health programs, actions, and services in the field of immunization, as well as strengthening health promotion actions. In this context, the first Mexican Consensus on Adult Vaccination was carried out in a joint effort of the National Institute of Geriatrics, bringing together a group of specialists who worked on three central objectives: establishing vaccination guidelines throughout the life course, with emphasis on new vaccines; defining priority groups according to their risk factors; and contributing to the effort to promote healthy aging.

Frecuencia de Chlamydia trachomatis en el cervix de pacientes embarazadas en control prenatal / Frequency of chlamydia trachomatis in the cervix of pregnant patients in prenatal control

De febrero 1993 a octubre 1995 se analizaron 80 muestras endocervicales de 80 pacientes embarazadas, en control prenatal de la consulta privada en el Hospital Angeles del Pedregal de la ciudad de México, D.F., para determinar la presencia de Chlamydia trachomatis por inmunofluorescencia directa. La edad gestacional varío de 20-39 semanas. La positividad fué de 10 por ciento (8 pacientes) para Chlamydia trachomatis. Esta frecuencia sugiere la toma de este estudio como parte de control prenatal

Experiencia en 10 casos de sutura cutánea usando el adhesivo etil-cianoacrilato: informe inicial / Experience on 10 cases of skin suture uring the adhesive ethyl-cyanoacrylate: preliminary report

Se saturó la piel en diez pacientes sometidas a la parotomía curva suprapúbica por indicación obstétrica o ginecológica, utilizando para ello el adhesivo etil-cianoacrilato. Ninguna paciente presentó intolerancia a la substancia no dehiscencia de la sutura. Existe mucha información en la lietratura extranjera sobre el uso de los cianoacrilatos, no así en la literatura nacional. Los hechos señalan al momento actual que se trata de un método de fácil aplicación, económica y sin efectos colaterales
