Abstract	Migrant and seasonal farmworkers are a vulnerable population with a potentially high risk for hearing loss due to farm-related noise exposures. Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is permanent, and it is associated with an increased risk for injuries on the job, as well as communication difficulties, isolation, and depression. The México/US border region is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country, however, no known studies have explored hearing loss among farmworkers in this area. This pilot study was a first step toward measuring and addressing hearing loss and noise exposure among this region's farmworkers. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to estimate the prevalence of subjective hearing difficulties among Yuma County, Arizona farmworkers. Survey interviews took place during a late-night farmworker health fair from 2 am to 6 am to accommodate local farms' labor schedules. Multivariable regression adjusted for demographic and work covariates estimated subjective hearing loss prevalence ratios. Among 132 farmworker participants, 36% reported they have or might have hearing loss, and 62% reported no hearing loss. Subjective hearing loss prevalence was lower in farmworkers who report not working in noise compared to prevalence in farmworkers who work in noise [prevalence ratio, 0.44 (95% CI 0.23-0.82)]. This report contributes to understanding the perception of hearing-related health and occupational exposures among farmworkers in the México-US Southwest border region. The information from this line of research will inform appropriate safety measures known to lower the risk of experiencing occupational NIHL.

Abstract	Objective: To show a 10-step standardized vaginal surgical technique to treat first-trimester cesarean section scar pregnancies. Design: A video article with a stepwise demonstration captured in an operation room of a tertiary medical center of a low-income country (Bolivia). Setting: Cesarean section scar pregnancies have a wide variety of management options. We present a vaginal surgical approach that has been developed by our group with no observed complications in 6 consecutive cases at the time of this publication. Interventions: A 10-step technique: (1) patient positioning, (2) cervical exposure and traction, (3) cervical infiltration with vasoconstrictor solution, (4) anterior mucosal incision and dissection of vesicovaginal space, (5) identification of vascular pedicle and ligation, (6) cold-knife isthmocele incision and ectopic pregnancy evacuation, (7) uterine cavity curettage, (8) hysterorrhaphy with interrupted suture, (9) cystoscopy, and (10) vaginal mucosa closure with running suture. We have used this technique in 6 consecutive patients. Operating time ranged between 20 and 25 minutes. All patients were discharged in postoperative day 1. Conclusion: We prefer surgical options for these patients because it provides both a complete removal of the ectopic pregnancy and repair of the isthmocele. A vaginal approach to such cases has proven to be a safe, simple, and fully reproductible technique. We find it applicable for any patient with this pathology but especially suitable for low-resource or somehow financially challenged hospitals.

Abstract	The used automobile crankcase oils are potential sources of contaminant elements for the coastal-marine ecosystems, affecting mainly the immunological system of organisms that feed by filtration, e. g. scallops. This study examined the effects of a water-soluble fraction of used automobile crankcase oils (WSF-UACO) on innate cellular- and humoral immune responses of the flame scallop Ctenoides scaber. The scallops were exposed to ascending concentrations of 0, 0.001, 0.01, and 0.1 of WSF-UACO under a static system of aquaria during 7 and 13 d. The viability, haemocyte total count (HTC), lysosomal membrane destabilization (LMD), phagocytosis, and protein concentration in hemolymph samples withdrawn taken from the blood sinus as well as lysozyme activity of the digestive gland were measured as immune endpoints. A decrease in cellular immune competence in scallops exposed to WSF-UACO was observed, with significant impairment of viability, HTC, and phagocytosis. LMD index increased about exposure concentrations, and plasma protein concentrations augmented to 0.01 and 0.1% during 13 d. Lysozyme activity increased in scallops exposed to WSF-UVCO during 7 d, to level off in the chronic period. Lysozyme activity and enhanced plasma proteins could act as compensatory responses when cell parameters tend to fall, helping to the regulation of microbial microflora and possible invasion of pathogenic microbes as well as defense against xenobiotics. The results demonstrate that the immunological responses of C. scaber are highly sensitive to the complex chemical mixture of contaminants, and it could be used for evaluating biological risks of hazardous xenobiotics in tropical marine environments.

Abstract	Although marine litter monitoring has increased over the years, the pollution of coastal waters is still understudied and there is a need for spatial and temporal data. Aerial (UAV) and underwater (ROV) drones have demonstrated their potential as monitoring tools at coastal sites; however, suitable conditions for use and cost-efficiency of the methods still need attention. This study tested UAVs and ROVs for the monitoring of floating, submerged, and seafloor items using artificial plastic plates and assessed the influence of water conditions (water transparency, color, depth, bottom substrate), item characteristics (color and size), and method settings (flight/dive height) on detection accuracy. A cost-efficiency analysis suggests that both UAV and ROV methods lie within the same cost and efficiency category as current on-boat observation and scuba diving methods and shall be considered for further testing in real scenarios for official marine litter monitoring methods.

Abstract	The aim of the present work was to assess the effect of ozone in aqueous phase (5.1 mg L⁻¹ of ozone for 10 min) on blueberry surface by analysing the changes in epicuticular waxes (EW) by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transformed infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy during storage at 4 °C for 15 d. Besides, colour was studied as a critical quality index for consumers. Ozone treated and controls (untreated fresh fruit and washed fruit without ozone) samples were considered. Among them, three subsets of spectra were acquired: whole fruit, fruit without EW -removed by solvent- and isolated EW. The differences among these sample subsets were much higher than those produced by treatments or storage time as revealed by PCA analysis. Infrared analysis revealed that ozone per se produced chemical modifications on EW of intact fruit, as new bands appeared (such as stretch of CO at 1701 cm⁻¹, from the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyls) and others shifted. However, no significant changes were observed in colour between treatments or time, showing that neither the alterations in EW nor their partial removal or changes in epidermis ultrastructure (evaluated by microscopy) affected this quality parameter. Further studies are needed to deeply understand the extent of the effect of the chemical alterations produced directly by ozone (and not by the process) in line with consumers demands of minimal processed and extended shelf-life products.

Title translation	PRIISMA Project: Transformation into a more preventive, resilient, comprehensive, innovative, sustainable, modern and accessible IMSS.
Abstract	Two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mexican Institute for Social Security (IMSS, according to its initials in Spanish) rethought new projects focused on the new needs of the population and social security organizations and institutions. The Institute, as a cornerstone in the search for the wellbeing of Mexicans, aligned with the National Development Plan and the Strategic Health for Wellbeing Program, sought to direct its transformation towards a preventive, resilient, comprehensive, innovative, sustainable, modern and accessible IMSS. For this reason, the Medical Services Director designed the PRIISMA Project, as the one that over the next three years could make possible to innovate and improve its medical care processes, starting with the recovery of medical services and identifying those groups of beneficiaries who experience the most vulnerable circumstances. The PRIISMA project consisted of five sub-projects: 1. Vulnerable groups; 2. Efficient and effective care; 3. Prevent IMSS plus; 4 IMSS University and 5. Recovery of medical services. The strategies of each project seek to improve medical care for all IMSS beneficiaries and users with a human rights perspective and by priority groups; the goal is reducing the gaps in access to health care, leaving no one behind and leaving no one out; and to surpass the goals for medical services provided before the pandemic. This document provides an overview of strategies and progress of the PRIISMA sub-projects achieved during 2022.

Abstract	Background: Recovery of health services disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic represents a significant challenge in low- and middle-income countries. In April 2021, the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), which provides health care to 68.5 million people, launched the National Strategy for Health Services Recovery (Recovery policy). The study objective was to evaluate whether the Recovery policy addressed COVID-related declines in maternal, child health, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) services. Methods: We analysed the data of 35 IMSS delegations from January 2019 to November 2021 on contraceptive visits, antenatal care consultations, deliveries, caesarean sections, sick children's consultations, child vaccination, breast and cervical cancer screening, diabetes and hypertension consultations, and control. We focused on the period before (April 2020 - March 2021) and during (April 2021 - November 2021) the Recovery policy and used an interrupted time series design and Poisson Generalized Estimating Equation models to estimate the association of this policy with service use and outcomes and change in their trends. Results: Despite the third wave of the pandemic in 2021, service utilization increased in the Recovery period, reaching (at minimum) 49% of pre-pandemic levels for sick children's consultations and (at maximum) 106% of pre-pandemic levels for breast cancer screenings. Evidence for the Recovery policy role was mixed: the policy was associated with increased facility deliveries (IRR = 1.15, 95%CI = 1.11-1.19) with a growing trend over time (IRR = 1.04, 95%CI = 1.03-1.05); antenatal care and child health services saw strong level effects but decrease over time. Additionally, the Recovery policy was associated with diabetes and hypertension control. Services recovery varied across delegations. Conclusions: Health service utilization and NCDs control demonstrated important gains in 2021, but evidence suggests the policy had inconsistent effects across services and decreasing impact over time. Further efforts to strengthen essential health services and ensure consistent recovery across delegations are warranted.
