Immediate complications after thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction: a prospective study
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases have increased their relevance in recent decades and have become one of the main causes of mortality worldwide, also generating a significant economic impact on public and private health systems. Within this group, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents the most frequent entity and of greatest clinical relevance1,2. AMI is defined as evidence […]
Pedicle morphometry of the lumbar spine in a sample of the Mexican population, measured by computed tomography
Introduction Transpedicular screws have been widely used in pathologies requiring alignment correction to maintain stability and promote adequate fusion in patients with fractures, spondylolisthesis, tumors, or scoliosis. The most important factors affecting screw stability are: screw size, insertion depth, orientation, insertion technique, and bone mineral density1. With the increased use of these screws, potential complications […]

Introduction Simulation-based education is associated with significant effects on the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary for patient care. It is a continuously studied educational tool that has been shown to have a positive impact on the quality and safety of medical care1.Learning through simulation consists of several components and phases, all equally important for ensuring […]
Abdominal perfusion pressure: clinical implications and as an alternative to discontinuing vasopressors
Introduction To maintain adequate organ perfusion, monitoring and control of effective mean arterial pressure (MAP) is necessary, which requires that the cardiovascular system be in proper functioning; however, in various clinical scenarios, whether originating from sepsis, myocardial dysfunction, severe trauma, hemorrhage, various shock states, etc., cardiovascular dysfunction may be generated. Organ hypoperfusion can trigger severe […]
The relevance of gamification in medical education
Introduction Gamification is the use of game elements in non-game contexts. It is an educational approach that promotes student motivation and engagement1. In the field of education, this strategy has emerged as an active, constantly evolving methodology that transforms traditional teaching and learning experiences into more interactive, personalized processes that yield more objective results2. The […]
