Medical education aims at excellence in the training of health professionals. Thus, virtual education arises from the difficulty of access of many students to educational centers. Medical education is no stranger to this transition, so it is important for both teachers and students to adopt these tools to achieve a quality teaching-learning process. There is evidence on the effectiveness and acceptance of virtual learning within the medical community, where students describe their satisfaction with this modality of education as a good option for better training. However, some educational institutions are not prepared for this change and many of them do not have virtual platforms or do not have the capacity to impart knowledge properly in a virtual way, which exposes a poor reality in this digital age. Virtual education has the challenge of training and adapting its teachers to these new ...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high mortality risk, although the magnitude of this association remains unknown in Latin America (LA). We aimed to assess the strength of the association between T2DM and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in population-based cohort studies in LA. Systematic review and meta-analysis: inclusion criteria were (1) men and women 18 years old and above with T2DM; (2) study outcomes all-cause and/or cause-specific mortality; and (3) using people without T2DM as comparison group. Five databases (Scopus, Medline, Embase, Global Health, and LILACS) were searched. Risk of bias was evaluated with the ROBINS-I criteria. Initially, there were 979 identified studies, of which 17 were selected for qualitative synthesis; 14 were included in the meta-analysis (N = 416 821). Self-reported T2DM showed a pooled relative risk (RR) of 2.49 for all-cause...

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto antibacteriano in vitro entre Sonchus oleraceus y Ceftazidima contra Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Material y Método: Estudio experimental con post-prueba única y grupo control. Se aplicó el método de dilución en tubos para determinar la Concentración Mínima Inhibitoria (CMI) del extracto etanólico de S. oleraceus contra P. aeruginosa, luego mediante el método de difusión en disco de Kirby-Bauer se determinó el efecto antibacteriano contra P. aeruginosa, los grupos experimentales fueron cultivos de P. aeruginosa que tenían discos con la CMI, 50, 100, 500 y 1000 mg/mL del extracto etanólico de S. oleraceus mezclados con Ceftazidima, y el grupo control tuvo discos solo con Ceftazidima. Resultados: La CMI del extracto etanólico de Sonchus oleraceus contra P. aeruginosa fue de 25 mg/mL. El efecto antibacteriano entre la CMI de S. oleraceus y Ceftazidima fu...
