Engaging the National Youth Football Community in a Child Sexual Abuse Research Advisory Board
Background: While research advisory boards are common in community-based research, there are challenges with forming a board on sensitive topics and among communities who are less often engaged in research such as youth football organizations. Objectives: We share our processes for forming a national board, challenges associated with engaging some football community members, and feedback from our board members. Methods: Board members were recruit…
Ancestral reconstruction and correlation of the frequencies of the hemoglobin S allele and the D uffy blood group alleles in human populations
Objectives : Malaria is an important selective force for human genetic adaptation due to the sustained, lethal impact it has had on populations worldwide. High frequencies of both hemoglobin S and the null allele FYB ES of the Duffy blood group have been found in areas where this disease is endemic, attributed to the protective action of the carriers of these variants against malaria infection. The objective of this work was to perform ancestral …
Genetic Variants of Duff y and Hemoglobin S Genes in an Afrodescendant Population from Colombia
Malaria is an endemic disease in a large part of Colombia, and the city of Buenaventura reports one of the highest malaria infection rates. Some genetic variants confer resistance to malaria, such as the heterozygote for hemoglobin S (HbS) and the homozygous variant FYBES/FYBES of the Dufffy gene. The aim of this work was the molecular characterization of these genes in an Afrodescendant population from the urban area of Buenaventura. A total of …

El rancho Meling. Imágenes de un pasado y una cultura en Baja California
El Rancho Meling es un interesante destino ecoturístico en Baja California, México, localizado en el camino hacia el Parque Nacional San Pedro Mártir, este rancho recibe visitantes de todo el mundo que vienen en la búsqueda de un lugar tranquilo cuyo entorno físico va de las zonas de chaparral al bosque de coníferas. La relevancia de este rancho, sin embargo, va más allá de su belleza o relevancia turística, y tiene que ver con el hecho de ser un…
