Objective: To develop a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the association between hypertriglyceridemic waist (CHTG) and arterial hypertension (HBP) in adults. Materials: The present study is a systematic review (SR) with meta-analysis of analytical cross-sectional observational studies. Search strategies will be used in different databases, which will be Pubmed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Embase. The qualitative analysis was presented in a table with the characteristics of each study. For quantitative analysis, random-effects meta-analysis was performed due to the heterogeneity of the studies. These variables were compared using Odds Ratios (OR) as a measure of association with their corresponding 95% confidence interval. Results: Five studies were included for statistical analysis. Overall, a statistically significant association was found between both variables (OR: 1.36; 9...

Vibrio cholerae serogrupo NO-O1/NO-O139 (VCNO) es causa infrecuente de gastroenteritis. Sin embargo, se le asocia a infección extra-intestinal severa en huéspedes inmunocomprometidos, y entre ellas, la bacteremia en pacientes con cirrosis hepática es digna de mención. A continuación, presentamos el caso de una mujer de 58 años, con el diagnóstico de cirrosis hepática de fondo, que desarrolló progresivamente choque séptico, disfunción orgánica múltiple y desenlace fatal al cuarto día de su admisión. Los resultados obtenidos post mortem, de los hemocultivos previamente tomados, aislaron bacilos gram negativos compatibles con Vibrio cholerae. Posteriormente, se identificó el serogrupo NO-O1/NO-O139, a través de aglutinación en placa y PCR negativo para el gen ctxA. El antibiograma mostró susceptibilidad conservada a ampicilina, cloranfenicol, tetraciclina y ciprofloxacino...
