Patellar tendon reinsertion after a multifragmentary avulsion fracture of the distal pole
Introduction Multifragmentary avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella typically occur in young individuals and involve detachment of a portion of the patella, often with multiple fragments, due to excessive force exerted on the patellar tendon1. The patellar tendon is a strong fibrous structure that connects the patella to the tibia2. When subjected […]
Cognitive aging and modifiable risk factors: preliminary evidence from a pilot study of older adults
Introduction Cognitive impairment (CI) in older adults has emerged as a significant public health concern, particularly regarding the increasing global population of individuals over the age of 601. This demographic shift has amplified the need for early detection and intervention strategies aimed at mitigating the impact of CI. It not only affects the quality of […]
Complications in the postanesthesia recovery area in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery in a tertiary hospital
Introduction The post-anesthetic recovery phase represents a criti cal moment in the perioperative period. During this stage, the residual effects of anesthetics and the physiological changes resulting from surgery converge. Within this unstable clinical environment, various adverse events may occur, ranging from acute postoperative pain or postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) to hypoxemia, arrhythmias, neurological […]
Progression-free survival in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with anti-androgens in a tertiary care hospital in Puebla, Mexico
Introduction Prostate cancer is the 2nd most frequent malignant neoplasm among men worldwide. In 2022, the International Agency for Research on Cancer reported 10,311,610 cases globally, with an incidence rate of 14.2% and a mortality rate of 9.6%. In Mexico, of 25,000 reported cases, 7,500 resulted in death1,2. Early detection impacts prognosis; therefore, measurement of […]

Patient self-inflicted lung injury and ultraprotective mechanical ventilation: a narrative review
Introduction Nowadays, it is recognized that patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) may actively contribute to the progression of lung injury through their own respiratory effort. This phenomenon, termed patient self-inflicted lung injury P-SILI, proposes that strong inspiratory efforts, patient-ventilator asynchronies, and markedly negative intrathoracic pressures can intensify injury in an already vulnerable lung parenchyma1. Several […]
