    Abstract The increase in the popularity and use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has consistently risen worldwide and has become associated with adverse health outcomes. This study has identified the attitudes and perceptions of undergraduate students who vape in three universities in Mexico. A cross-sectional study involving 495 participants was conducted using a survey from October to December 2023. Three universities in different states in Mexico collaborated with colleges in Yucatan, Durango, and Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Descriptive statistics include frequencies and percentages, and four logistic regression models were employed. In the sample, 31% and 17.54% of participants reported smoking and vaping, respectively. Students who reported vaping in the last month reported that their first experience with vaping was at an average of 17.3 years of age, and of those, 71.26% (n = 62) reported having vaped for over 100 days, while the remaining 38% reported vaping for between 2 and 100 days. Students from Veracruz and Yucatan began vaping at a younger age than in the central and northern regions. There is a need to educate students about the dangers of the chemicals in the liquids they use, the secondary exposure vapers, and the health dangers they pose.

    Abstract We aimed to analyze the association between the average lumbar subcutaneous fat tissue thickness (LSFTT) at each intervertebral level and the presence of hernias in patients with low back pain from an insurance network hospital in Mexico. This observational prospective study included 174 patients with non-traumatic lumbago who underwent magnetic resonance imaging with a 1.5T resonator. Two independent radiologists made the diagnosis, and a third specialist provided a quality vote when needed. The sample size was calculated with a 95% confidence interval using random order selection. Anonymized secondary information was used. Percentages and means with confidence intervals were tabulated. The area under the curve, specificity, and sensitivity of LSFTT were calculated. A regression analysis was performed to analyze the presence of hernias with LSFTT using each intervertebral level as a predictor. The odds of herniation at any intervertebral level increased directly with LSFTT. The average LSFTT predicted the overall presence of hernias; however, the LSFTT at each intervertebral level better predicted hernias for each intervertebral space. The area under the curve for LSFTT in predicting hernias was 68%. In conclusion, the average LSFTT was associated with the overall presence of hernias; patients with more hernias had higher LSFTT values.

    Abstract Background: Knowledge about the influence of early developmental factors on cardiometabolic health in the Maya is limited.
    Aim: To analyse the relationship between birthweight (BW) and cardiometabolic parameters in a sample of rural Maya children from Yucatan, Mexico.
    Subjects and methods: We took anthropometric measurements and obtained data on BW and fasting blood samples in a sample of 75 children aged 5-14 years. Dependent variables were: fat mass index (FMI), body mass index (BMI), glucose (G), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), LDL/HDL and TC/HDL ratios and metabolic index (TGxG/HDL
    Results: An increase of one standard deviation in BW predicted 6.6% (95% CI [-11.6, -1.6]) decrease in HDL and 11% (95% CI [3.7, 18.4]), 7.8% (95% CI [2.3, 13.2]) and 19.6% (95% CI [3.1, 36]) increases in LDL/HDL, TC/HDL and metabolic index, respectively.
    Conclusion: Higher birthweights were associated with adverse levels of biochemical parameters in this sample of rural Maya children.

    Abstract Angle-closure glaucoma secondary to ciliary body cysts is a rare condition. Different pharmacological and surgical treatment modalities have been described. Among these, subliminal transscleral cyclophotocoagulation is a promising alternative due to fewer ocular complications and the same intraocular pressure reducing efficacy. The case is presented of a 33-year-old woman with a 6-year history of uncontrolled ocular hypertension, and a one-month history of glaucoma, treated with multiple drugs and surgical interventions, with persistent elevated intraocular pressure. She came to the clinic due to eye pain and photophobia of the right eye of 3 days onset prior to her visit. An ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed, finding cysts in the ciliary body. It was then decided to perform subliminal transscleral cyclophotocoagulation, achieving a reduction in intraocular pressure, which was maintained after three months of follow-up.

    Abstract El último concierto/ A Late Quartet (2012) es una película del género dramático dirigida por Yaron Zilberman. Este filme protagonizado por Christopher Walken, relata la historia de un cuarteto de cuerda, el cuál tras 25 años de éxito y fama mundial, atraviesa fuertes adversidades cuando el creador del cuarteto, Peter Mitchell, está padeciendo los primeros síntomas del Párkinson, una enfermedad que en poco tiempo pondrá fin a su pasión y a sus sueños como intérprete. Pero ¿qué hubiera podido ofrecerse para el manejo de Peter desde la fisioterapia y rehabilitación? ¿El impacto de esta profesión en la calidad de vida, pudiera ayudar a mitigar la cuesta debajo de un gran músico con enfermedad de Párkinson que se ubica en la cima de su carrera? El objetivo del presente artículo es describir las alternativas basadas en evidencia que la fisioterapia y rehabilitación pueden ofrecer a los pacientes con enfermedad de Párkinson.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to analyze the probability of an increase in mortality due to venous thrombosis of the lower limbs (VTLL), and it´s relation to days of hospital stay.
    Materials and methods: We included all hospital records of patients with thrombosis in the lower limbs as main diagnosis from open access national datasets, we obtained epidemiological description of diagnosis, length of stay and mortality.
    Results: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) constituted 69% (1223/1785) of cases. From all the patients registered, 47 (2.63%) died. The highest mortality rate was observed in older adults, and patients with a longer hospital stay.
    Conclusions: Patients diagnosed with DVT, who endure a longer hospital stay, face a major risk of death.

    Abstract Urinary stones composed of calcium carbonate are extremely rare, accounting for 0.01%-1.4% of urolithiasis (UL) cases. Urolithiasis is an infrequent condition in the pediatric population worldwide and in Mexico; nevertheless, the incidence in the Yucatán Peninsula is higher than that reported in other areas of Mexico and the world. Urolithiasis is the second most common urinary disease among pediatrics in the Yucatán Peninsula, which makes it an endemic region for this disease. We describe the case of a five-year-old male from the southeast region of Mexico who presented with signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) and was diagnosed with bilateral staghorn stones of calcium carbonate, successfully treated by mini endoscopic combined intra-renal surgery, and dietary adjustments to prevent recurrence.
