Introduction: Older adults constitute the most vulnerable population group to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Mexico, their biopsychosocial conditions might intensify their vulnerability.
Method: Affiliation to health systems, health conditions and gerontological evaluation of 3,218 older adults were analyzed following the methodology of the PAHO-Mexico Health, Well-being and Aging Survey.
Objective And Methods: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem, which significantly affects older adults. . The prevalence and biopsychosocial conditions of DM in older adults in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, are analyzed using the Health and Aging Survey 2014 (SABE-Hidalgo, Mexico).

Article Synopsis
- Enterococci, common in the intestine of mammals, are used as indicators of fecal pollution in water and food but are also notable for causing infections in healthcare settings due to their environment resilience and antibiotic resistance.
- A study examined 121 Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium strains from clinical and various water sources to assess their biochemical patterns, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genetic relationships.
- Results showed that clinical strains had higher antibiotic resistance, and while there was high genetic diversity among the isolates, some strains indicated potential transmission routes of resistant genes from water to humans.
The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the dengue virus (DENV) genome contain several sequences required for translation, replication and cyclization processes. This region also binds cellular proteins such as La, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB), Y box-binding protein 1, poly(A)-binding protein and the translation initiation factor eEF-1 alpha. PTB is a cellular protein that interacts with the regulatory sequences of positive-strand RNA viruses such as several picornaviruses and hepatitis C virus.
