Knowledge and perceptions on dengue among internship medical students and rural physicians in Ecuador
BACKGROUND: Dengue is a public health concern in Ecuador, with sustained transmission in the Pacific Coast, Amazon, Galapagos Islands, and emerging in the Andean region. Adequate knowledge and perceptions among medical students and physicians are essential for diagnosis, appropriate management, patient education, and control. This study evaluated dengue-related knowledge and perceptions among Ecuadorian students in the internship program (interns…
Case report
Babesiosis is a protozoan disease acquired by the bite of different species of ticks. More than 100 Babesia spp. infect wild and domestic animals worldwide, but only a few have been documented to infect humans. Generally, babesiosis is asymptomatic in immunocompetent persons; however, in immunocompromised can be life-threatening. A 13-year-old boy from the Amazon region presented with a 3-month evolution of fever, chills, general malaise, and art…
Multi-sensorial perceptions of risk
multi-sensorial anthropology. Through ethnographic research and data retrieved from eighty-three semistructured interviews and fifteen focus groups in seven Ecuadorian ethnic groups - including six Indigenous groups in the Amazon region - this paper analyses how the sensorium is a health thermometer. Findings reveal that differentiated cultural responses to a sense of peril, contagion and social (self)rejection, understood as stigma expressions, …
Colistin resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in humans and backyard animals in Ecuador
Objective. Colistin is an antibiotic of last resort for treating serious Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, the misuse of colistin, especially as an animal growth promoter, has contributed to increasing antimicrobial resistance, mediated mainly through plasmid transfer of the mcr-1 gene. This study assessed the prevalence of phenotypic and molecular colistin resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Ecuador in healthy …
Accessibility Analysis of Worldwide Covid-19-Related Information Portals
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, communication technology has demonstrated its usefulness in sharing and receiving health data and communicating with the public. This study evaluated the accessibility of 199 websites containing official COVID-19 information related to medical schools, governments, ministries, and medical associations, obtained from the Geneva Foundation for Medical Education and Research website. We used the Web Cont…
Genotyped indigenous Kiwcha adults at high altitude are lighter and shorter than their low altitude counterparts
BackgroundAnthropometric measures have been classically used to understand the impact of environmental factors on the living conditions of individuals and populations. Most reference studies on development and growth in which anthropometric measures were used were carried out in populations that are located at sea level, but there are few studies carried out in high altitude populations.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the ant…
