Identifying Syndemic Factors and Their Effect on HIV Sexual Risk Behavior Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto
We set out to identify syndemic factors associated with HIV sexual risk behavior among HIV-negative gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM), and examine associations between syndemic factors and HIV sexual risk behaviors using models of co-occurring epidemics. We used baseline data from 1571 sexually active GBM from the Engage Cohort study, recruited using respondent-driven sampling in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. We explored…
Factibilidad de una aplicación móvil para el monitoreo de contactos de tuberculosis multidrogorresistente en Perú
This study aimed to validate an ODK digital mobile application (ODK-DMA) in contacts exposed to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Lima, Peru. Using a questionnaire in an application on a mobile device, we registered 129 household contacts of 29 index cases of MDR-TB under treatment in 10 health facilities in South Lima in August 2018. The mean time of registration per contact was found to be 4 minutes. The prevalence of active TB sympt…

Health need assessment in an indigenous high-altitude population living on an island in Lake Titicaca, Perú
The main health needs in Amantani are related to poor healthcare access and lack of awareness of disease prevention. Our findings can be used to develop and implement efficient health interventions to improve the health and quality of life of indigenous populations living in the islands in Southern Peru/Northern Bolivia
Vulnerable populations and the right to health
Our study shows the need to go beyond developing a strong legal framework to ensure vulnerable populations such as indigenous people are able to realize their right to health. Governments need to allocate funds, improve training and adapt healthcare provision to the cultural, geographical, and social context of indigenous people
Prevalencia de infección tuberculosa latente en trabajadores de salud de establecimientos del primer nivel de atención. Lima, Perú
Con el propósito de disponer de información sobre los riesgos para infección por TB, la Dirección General de Epidemiología del Ministerio de Salud, desarrolló una vigilancia centinela en establecimientos de salud de la Provincia constitucional del Callao, dicha vigilancia incluyó el diagnóstico de infección tuberculosa latente (ITL) mediante la aplicación del método IGRA. El objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar la prevalencia de ITL en traba…
Propuesta de esquemas de tratamiento antituberculosis basados en la susceptibilidad a isoniacida y rifampicina
Based on resistance to H and R it was possible to select anti-tuberculosis regimens with high probability of success. This proposal is a feasible alternative to tackle tuberculosis in Peru where the access to rapid DST to H and R is improving progressively
Comorbilidad de tuberculosis y diabetes
Co-morbidity between tuberculosis and diabetes has been described since the early 20th century. In developed countries, where there has been a decrease of infectious diseases with an increase of non-communicable diseases, as well as those countries who still have a high prevalence of infectious diseases but an increase of non-communicable diseases, it is observed that the prevalence of co-morbidity between tuberculosis and diabetes is increasing,…
Determinants of physical activity in deprived communities in London
Background The benefits of regular physical activity are well known. Few adults in the UK meet the recommended levels. There is growing evidence suggesting that neighbourhood characteristics interact with individual characteristics to determine physical activity levels. Objective Examine relationships between neighbourhood-level and individual-level characteristics and physical activity. Setting 40 of the most deprived neighbourhoods in London (c…
Determinants of mental health and wellbeing in low income communities
Background Poor mental health is more common in deprived communities in the UK. Individual characteristics (employment, financial security, significant life events, social networks) are key proximal determinants of mental health. It is important to examine the upstream effects of the neighbourhood environment on mental health because it may be easier to modify in the context of public health interventions that aim to reduce health inequalities. O…
Síndrome de Guillain Barré asociado a Brucelosis
We describe a case of a 47 years old male, with a history of 2 days of progressive, ascendant, symmetrical weakness in the lower extremities; a lumbar puncture was performed after the brain CT scan, as well as an electromyography, evidencing pure motor polyradiculopathy with axonal pattern, compatible with Guillain Barre syndrome. Afterwards, he received four plasmapheresis sessions, with clinical improvement from the second session. Due to his e…
Field and laboratory preparedness
Implementing a new MDRTB diagnostic presents challenges to the laboratory environment, the existing DST process, and the application of national guidelines in peripheral clinics. Assessing each element can maximize efficient use of a new tool. Specifically, strengthening systems for transferring samples to the laboratory and delivering results to the requesting clinic in addition to investing in personnel and laboratory resources are integral to …
