Item type:Publication, An intersectionality perspective on tuberculosis: social determinants affecting tuberculosis mortality rate in Ecuador(Frontiers Media SA, 2025-10-24); ; Solon Alberto OrlandoThe Intersectionality approach to studying tuberculosis (TB) is a complex one. While historical data and indicators consistently suggest a positive correlation between social determinants, such as poverty, and TB mortality, the strength of this association varies across different regions and countries. Overcrowding and population density are also recognized as risk factors for TB transmission. Methods In this study, we conducted a descriptive and observational statistical analysis of TB mortality in Ecuador using the most recent public data from 2010. We examined the association between TB mortality and poverty, as well as territorial distribution, population density, and overcrowding. Results Our univariate analysis results indicate that the rural parishes or canton capitals in the first quintile of poverty (Q1) had the highest average mortality rates (14.23 per 100,000 inhabitants). Furthermore, the average TB mortality ratio was substantially higher in rural areas compared to urban ones (12.72 vs. 7.5 per 100,000 inhabitants). Interestingly, zones with the highest population density had a significantly lower average TB mortality ratio than those with the lowest density (4.82 vs. 15.19 per 100,000 inhabitants). Likewise, overcrowding analysis reveals a significant difference between the group with the highest level (O1) vs. the lowest one (O5; 14.3 vs. 6.8 per 100,000 inhabitants). On the other hand, a multivariate linear regression model agrees that three of the four independent variables evaluated had statistically significant associations with tuberculosis mortality rate. The percentage of poverty, living in a rural area, and population density were significant predictors of higher mortality. In contrast, the level of overcrowding, as determined by multivariate analysis, did not show a significant association when the other independent variables were taken into account. Discussion These findings reinforce the strong link between TB mortality and poverty, rurality, a discreet relationship with overcrowding, and an inverse relationship with population density in the Ecuadorian context, highlighting the need for targeted public health interventions in rural underserved communities. Future research should explore how changes in socioeconomic conditions and healthcare access have influenced TB incidence.Scopus© Citations 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Preoperative Nutrition in Bariatric Surgery: A Narrative Review on Enhancing Surgical Success and Patient Outcomes(MDPI AG, 2025-02-02); Raynier Zambrano-VillacresBariatric surgery has become the preferred treatment for individuals with morbid obesity. Nutrition is key in optimizing surgical outcomes by reducing risks and enhancing recovery. Preoperative strategies, such as reducing body fat, decreasing liver size, and improving metabolic profiles, have been shown to facilitate safer surgical procedures with fewer complications. This narrative review aims to provide an analysis of the fundamental role of preoperative nutritional management in improving bariatric surgery outcomes, emphasizing the importance of addressing specific nutritional challenges to enhance surgical safety, recovery, and overall health. Preoperative nutritional interventions focus on correcting comorbidities and nutritional deficiencies, particularly hypovitaminosis and micronutrient imbalances, through a multidisciplinary approach involving nutritionists and other healthcare professionals. These interventions not only prepare patients for the physiological demands of surgery but also initiate a period of adaptation to new dietary habits, aiming to improve long-term compliance and mitigate risks such as postoperative weight regain and dumping syndrome. Adopting dietary changes, such as very low-calorie or ketogenic diets 6–12 weeks before surgery, enhances adherence to postoperative restrictions and overall surgical success. Future research should focus on developing comprehensive guidelines for preoperative nutritional care to improve patient outcomes globally.Scopus© Citations 24 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Research note: High-resolution detection of Salmonella serovar diversity in broilers from Ecuador using CRISPR-SeroSeq(Elsevier BV, 2026-04); David Ayala-VelasteguiSalmonella enterica is a major foodborne pathogen associated with poultry, representing a critical challenge for food safety worldwide. Accurate identification of serovar diversity is essential for designing control strategies; however, conventional culture-based methods often underestimate this complexity. In this study, we report the first application of CRISPR-SeroSeq in Ecuador to characterize Salmonella serovar diversity in commercial broilers. A total of 76 flocks (one hose of one farm in different cycles) originated across 19 broiler farms were sampled. All flocks belonged to an integrated poultry company. From all samples, 77.6% tested positive for Salmonella. CRISPR-SeroSeq analysis revealed a clear dominance of serovar Infantis, even within mixed populations. Importantly, serovars of significant public health concern, including Enteritidis and Typhimurium, were detected at low frequencies that would likely be missed by conventional methods. These findings highlight the utility of high-resolution serotyping approaches, providing valuable insights for targeted interventions to improve poultry production biosecurity and food safety. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
