Article Abstract
Introducción: en la cuenca Matanza-Riachuelo viven aproximadamente 4.885.000 habitantes y es uno de los sitios más contaminados de Argentina. Este estudio evaluó factores de riesgo asociados a anomalías congénitas (AC) y bajo peso al nacimiento. Métodos: se realizó un estudio caso-control en tres hospitales de la cuenca pertenecientes la Red Nacional de Anomalías Congénitas (RENAC) durante un año. Se evaluó asociación de bajo peso y AC, con variables socioeconómicas; reproductivas; distancia de la vivienda durante la gestación a industrias y a cursos de agua. Resultados: la prevalencia de anomalías congénitas en recién nacidos fue de 1,93% (IC 95%: 1,64 - 2,25). Los factores de riesgo asociados a AC fueron enfermedades maternas agudas y consumo de medicamentos. Los casos presentaron peso y edad gestacional significativamente más bajos y mayor edad materna. No se encontró asociación entre bajo peso o prevalencia de AC con distancia de la vivienda durante el embarazo a industrias ni a los cursos de agua. Conclusión principal: este estudio es la primera investigación en el área de las AC con datos georreferenciados en nuestro país y ha mostrado la factibilidad de efectuar este tipo de investigaciones para evaluar factores de riesgo en la RENAC. Futuras investigaciones orientadas a evaluar AC específicas deberían realizarse a fin de corroborar los resultados del presente estudio.

Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary embolism (PE) may debut as sudden death (SD) in young and middle-aged adults. This study aims to determine the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics involved in SD due to PE in this age group and the underlying risk factors.
Methods: Multicenter retrospective noncontrolled study based on forensic autopsies performed in individuals aged 12 to 49 years at 3 forensic pathology services in Spain (Valencia, Biscay, and Seville) over an 8-year period (2010-2017).

Objective: To describe the microbiological isolates obtained from hematologic patients seen in the emergency department (ED) who had blood cultures requested and identify the risk factors associated with the isolation of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational, and descriptive study of all consecutive patients with hematologic malignancies who presented to the ED and had, at least, 1 blood culture requested within the first 72 hours following admission from January 2020 through March 2022. The decision on the number of blood cultures and other requested samples was made by the attending physician.

Older adults often take multiple drugs and are high users of hospitals. Consequently, this is associated with an increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) compared to the general population. Epidemiological studies on ADRs in older adults conducted over recent decades have shown heterogeneous results regarding incidence, clinical characteristics of the events, and causative drugs.

: Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) was recently added to the ICD-11. Refugees might be particularly vulnerable to develop this disorder, due to key risk factors including trauma history, comorbid symptoms, and post-migration stressors. However, most prevalence estimates rely on self-report questionnaires, which are less reliable than clinical interviews.
