Cien años de la Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública
Objetivos. Explorar la alineación del contenido de los artículos publicados por la Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública durante sus 100 años de existencia, con los temas sanitarios claves de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS). Métodos. Se llevó a cabo un análisis bibliométrico con visualización de sus resultados. Se recuperó la información sobre los artículos publicados en la Revista a partir del Repositorio Institucional para Interc…
Landscape of research, production, and regulation in venoms and antivenoms
Objective. To assess the productivity and visibility in research, clinical studies, treatment, use and production of antivenoms against poisonous snakes, scorpions and spiders. Method. Bibliometric analysis of research and other activities. Articles on venoms and antivenoms published between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved from the Scopus database. The records were analyzed by bibliometric indicators including number of documents per year, journals,…
Mapa conceptual sobre salud pública y propiedad intelectual en Cuba
En este estudio se identifican y describen los cambios introducidos en el entramado constitucional y legal, y la política económica y social de Cuba entre los años 2015 y 2020 que inciden en el acceso a la salud y se actualiza el mapa conceptual sobre salud pública y propiedad intelectual en Cuba (MC SPPIC). Se realizó la búsqueda de documentos, ajustada al período de tiempo analizado, en la Gaceta Oficial de la República de Cuba y los sitios en …
Sistema Regional de Vacunas (Sireva), vigilancia por laboratorio y desarrollo de vacunas para Streptococcus pneumoniae
Objetivo. Medir a través del análisis bibliométrico la productividad, la visibilidad y el impacto del Sistema Regional de Vacunas (SIREVA, un proyecto de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud) en sus dos componentes, la vigilancia por laboratorio y el desarrollo de vacunas. Métodos. Se recuperaron de Scopus las publicaciones correspondientes a vigilancia por laboratorio y desarrollo de vacunas con sus referencias y citas y se aplicó la herrami…
Rechazo y gestión en vacunaciones
Durante muchos años, vacunar a los niños era una tradición incuestionable; sin embargo, en la actualidad hay gran preocupación por el creciente rechazo a las vacunas de la infancia, además de otros obstáculos que no son fáciles de visualizar y que afectan las coberturas por vacunación. Se señalan múltiples factores intervinientes en los rechazos a una vacuna o a la vacunación en general por la acción de grupos antivacunas y por la desinformación …
Judicialización y acceso a tecnologías sanitarias
Use of litigation to ensure and guarantee access to medical inputs constitutes one of the most effective strategies to ensure observance (or remedy the violation) of the right to health, often in relation to other fundamental human rights such as the right to life or to bodily integrity.More frequently, and in multiple national contexts, judges and courts support lawsuits filed by individuals who need immediate access to health technologies. On m…
Resistencia a antibióticos no betalactámicos de aislamientos invasores de Streptococcus pneumoniae en niños latinoamericanos
High and increasing rates of isolates resistant to TMP-SMZ and erythromycin were observed, as well as a decreasing percentage of isolates resistant to chloramphenicol. These trends highlight differences among the countries studied
Costos económicos de las neumonías en niños menores de 2 años de edad, en Colombia
The study found differences in the direct costs of care between the presumably bacterial cases and the presumably viral ones. The study results also gave an approximation of the indirect costs to the patients' families caused by the pneumonias. The differences found in the direct costs also indicate that X-ray diagnosis is useful for differentiating between viral and bacterial pneumonia. Few studies in Latin America have assessed the economic cos…
Anticipating new vaccines in the Americas
is extremely timelyin terms of vaccine development. The authors correctly conclude that the heavy bur-den of disease attributable to rotavirus in Latin America suggests that vaccines cur-rently being developed could have considerable impact in preventing hospitalizations,clinic visits, and deaths.The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is strongly committed toaddressing what the authors conclude to be the important public health priority ofre…
Population-based surveillance of pediatric pneumonia
This study examined the spatial distribution of childhood community-acquired pneumonia detected through prospective surveillance in Goiânia, Brazil. Three spatial analysis techniques were applied to detect intra-urban geographic aggregation of pneumonia cases: Kernel method, nearest neighbor hierarchical technique, and spatial scan statistic. A total of 724 pneumonia cases confirmed by chest radiography were identified from May 2000 to August 200…
El uso de la radiografía de tórax para la vigilancia de neumonías bacterianas en niños latinoamericanos
The Division of Vaccines and Immunization of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is promoting epidemiological surveillance of bacterial pneumonias in children in Latin America in order to generate scientific evidence to support future decisions concerning using vaccines to control such pneumonias in the countries of the Region of the Americas. The diagnosis of these diseases rarely includes bacteriological documentation of the causative a…
Impacto de Streptococcus pneumoniae en las neumonías del niño latinoamericano
Community-acquired pneumonia is one of the leading causes of infant morbidity and mortality. Studies conducted in developing countries indicate that the most serious symptoms of pneumonia are associated with bacterial causes, mainly Streptococcus pneumoniae, followed by Haemophilus influenzae type b. Managing those infections in children under two years of age is hindered by the lack of appropriate vaccines and by the decreased susceptibility of …
Introducción de la vacuna conjugada contra Hib en Chile y Uruguay
In some countries, the invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) has been practically eliminated thanks to vaccination. However, in much of the developing world, meningitides and pneumonias caused by these bacteria continue to be a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality, as well as high hospitalization costs. Because safe and effective conjugate vaccines are now available, the Special Program for Vaccines and Immuni…
