(MDPI, 2020)
Introduction: High blood pressure (HBP) is a health problem the prevalence of which has increased in young populations. Overweight and obesity in early ages have been directly related to its development. Due to the impact ...
An Approach to Early Detection of Metabolic Syndrome through Non-Invasive Methods in Obese Children
(MDPI, 2020)
Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has a high prevalence in children, and its presence increases in those with a high BMI. This fact confirms the need for early detection to avoid the development of other comorbidities. ...
Accuracy of the Resting Energy Expenditure Estimation Equations for Healthy Women
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: There exist several prediction equations for the estimation of resting energy expenditure (REE). However, none of these equations have been validated in the Chilean female population yet. The aims of this study ...
A Sustainable Approach to the Metabolic Syndrome in Children and Its Economic Burden
(MDPI, 2020)
The prevalence of obesity continues to grow, resulting in metabolic syndrome and increasing economic burden for health systems. The objectives were to measure the ability of the NIM-MetS test, previously used in the adults, ...
Influence of Tunneled Hemodialysis-Catheters on Inflammation and Mortality in Dialyzed Patients
(MDPI, 2021)
Older age and comorbidities in hemodialysis patients determines the use of tunneled catheters as vascular access despite their reported clinical and mortality disadvantages. This prospective matched study analyzes the ...
Association between the FTO SNP rs9939609 and Metabolic Syndrome in Chilean Children
(MDPI, 2021)
The increasing prevalence of obesity in children has raised the incidence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in this age group. Given the short- and long-term health impact of MetS, it is essential to prevent its onset by detecting ...
The Assessment of Myocardial Longitudinal Strain in a Paediatric Spanish Population Using a New Software Analysis
(MDPI, 2022)
Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) has been present for years. However, it is underutilized due to the expertise and time requirements for its analysis. Our aims were to provide strain values in a ...
