(2016)Objetivos: caracterizar de acuerdo al diagnóstico primario de defunción y diagnóstico egreso hospitalario proveniente de bases de datos de acceso libre, la evolución de la Enfermedad Renal Crónica, compatible con Enfermedad ... -
Validation of Total Daily Energy Expenditure Calculated with Actiheart against Doubly Labeled Water Method in Costa Rican Schoolchildren
(2015-10)The purpose of this study was to use the measurement of the PAEE taken from Actiheart in order to calculate the TEE in Costa Rican schoolchildren, and at the same time, to determine the effec- tiveness ... -
Relación entre la presencia de colifagos en agua para consumo humano, las lluvias y las diarreas agudas en Costa Rica
(2015)La calidad del agua de consumo es una de las preocupaciones más grandes a las que se enfrentan los entes de salud. En Costa Rica, a pesar de la buena calidad de las fuentes de agua y del agua de consumo, se siguen registrando ... -
Medición del éxito de los pacientes rehabilitados con prótesis removibles
(2016)El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el nivel de satisfacción del paciente rehabilitado con prótesis removibles en el grado de Odontología General, desde el año 2011 al 2013, usando el instrumento OHIP-49, OHIP-19 ... -
Titanium dioxide in dental enamel as a trace element and its variation with bleaching
(2018)BACKGROUND: Titanium is a less studied trace element in dental enamel. Literature relates an increased Titanium concentration with a decreased enamel crystal domain size, which in turn is related to a higher color value. ... -
A Novel Green Chemistry Method for Nonaqueous Extraction and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Detection of First-, Second-, and Third-Generation Tetracyclines, 4-Epitetracycline, and Tylosin in Animal Feeds
(2012-06)Although tetracyclines and macrolides are common additives for animal nutrition, methods for their simultaneous determination in animal feeds are nonexistent. By coupling an organic extraction and solid-phase extraction ... -
Bioavailability of in-feed tetracyclines is influenced to a greater extent by crude protein rather than calcium
(2014-12)Feed is a common vehicle for tetracycline administration in animal farming. However, veterinarians and farmers often overlook that common feed components, such as proteins and calcium, may interact with these drugs and ... -
Molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of Clostridium difficile in a national geriatric hospital in Costa Rica
(2018-08)Background: the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) is changing rapidly worldwide; knowledge on the genotypes of C. difficile circulating in specialized geriatric hospitals and their resistance to ... -
Predominance and high antibiotic resistance of the emerging Clostridium difficile genotypes NAPCR1 and NAP9 in a Costa Rican hospital over a 2-year period without outbreaks
(2016-05)Clostridium difficile is the major causative agent of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In a 2009 outbreak of C. difficileassociated diarrhea that was recorded in a major Costa Rican hospital, the hypervirulent ... -
Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteroides, Parabacteroides spp., and Pseudoflavonifractor from a Costa Rican Hospital
(2014-09)Multidrug resistance in Bacteroides spp. and related genera is uncommon and has not been described in Latin America until now. We studied phenotypically and genotypically the multidrug resistance of 10 clinical strains of ... -
Isolation of a Toxigenic and Clinical Genotype of Clostridium difficile in Retail Meats in Costa Rica
(2013-02)We isolated a regional toxigenic genotype of Clostridium difficile, previously found in human infection in 4 of 200 (2%) samples of retail meats for human consumption: 1 of 67 samples of beef, 2 of 66 of pork, and 1 of 67 ... -
Scarce detection of mobile erm genes associated with tetQ in Bacteroides and Parabacteroides from Costa Rica
(2013-06)The frequency of finding of clindamycin-resistant anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples has doubled from 2008 to 2010 in Costa Rica. To determine whether this increase is due to dissemination of erm genes aided by tetQ ... -
A single exposure of sediment sulphate-reducing bacteria to oxytetracycline concentrations relevant to aquaculture enduringly disturbed their activity, abundance and community structure
(2015-05)Aim: although feed medicated with antibiotics is widely used in animal production to prevent and treat bacterial infections, the effect of these drugs on nontarget anaerobic bacteria is unknown. We aimed to clarify whether ...
