Aims: The objective was to analyze the clinical data in population from Mexican Guanajuato state as a suspected case of COVID-19 and with result positive of rRT-PCR, reported until October 2, 2020. Study Design: It is a cross-sectional based in data from National Epidemiological Surveillance System from General Epidemiological Directorate, Secretary of Health in Mexico. Place and Duration of Study: Sample: All registries from confirmed and discarded cases of COVID-19 in database until October 2, 2020. Methodology: It was included 100,919 registries, and from them, 810 were excluded by missing the result of rRT-PCR test. A suspected case was one with a clinical finding considered greater (cough, fever, headache or dyspnea and accompanied by at least one of the following: myalgia, arthralgia, odynophagia, chills, chest pain, rhinorrhea, anosmia, dysgeusia or conjunctivitis); a confirmed case of COVID-19 is a person with a positive rRT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2, regardless of the clinical data presented. We included age, sex, and clinical data registered and result of rRT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2. It was used logistic regression to analyze the effect of clinical data on positive rRT-PCR. Results: It was analyzed 100,109 registries. From them, 41,734 were positive for SARS-CoV-2. Fever (OR 1.72, CI95% 1.68 to 1.77), cough (OR 1.70, CI95% 1.66 to 1.74), and odynophagia (OR 1.71, CI95% 1.66 to 1.75) shown a stronger effect on positive rRT-PCR test. Cyanosis did not have any effect on the result of the rRT-PCR test. Conclusion: There are not pathognomonic clinical data for COVID-19. All clinical data in confirmed cases are similar to another respiratory viral infections.

Abstract AIMTo summarize the chest CT and clinical features of COVID-19 pneumonia patients with hypertension comorbidities.METHODSThe initial chest CT imaging and clinical data of 15 confirmed COVID-19 patients with hypertension comorbidities treated in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively from January 1, 2019 to February 14, 2020. The chest CT images and clinical data were reviewed and their relationship of the disease was analyzed.RESULTSTotally 15 COVID-19 patients diagnosed with hypertension comorbidities were included. In terms of clinical characteristics, 14/15 (93.3%) of patients had characteristics of clustering onset, and the positive rates of the first RT-PCR test and the initial CT were 80% and 93% respectively. The most frequent CT abnormality observed was ground glass opacity (GGO) (13/15, 86.7%), including patchy/ punctate GGO and large/multiple GGO. Most of the lesions were multiple, and 60% of them involved 4-5 lobes. Most patients present with bilateral CT onset (12,80.0%), and most present with subpleural distribution (10,66.7%). The average CT score is 13.7, and 40% of the patients exceeded 20 points.CONCLUSIONThe common chest CT findings in COVID-19 patients with hypertension comorbidities are GGO, most of which at present with bilateral CT onset and subpleural distribution. CT is indispensable in the diagnosis and evaluation of this global health emergency.

This article aims to analyze the importance of formal citizenship in the reintegration process of people deported from the United States to Mexico. The analysis parts from the case study of deportations to the border city of Tijuana, Baja California, which includes 68 in-depth interviews focused on redocumentation to demonstrate their national affiliation. The main findings show that the condition of documentation plays a strategic role in the processes of re-citizenship in the countries of origin. Upon return by a process of deportation, there is a revitalization of the importance of formal citizenship that seemed outweighed in the face of the multiple forms of affiliation, belonging, and local participation. The role of private and social actors is strategic in the processes of redocumentation and recovery of the relationship of individuals with the State, which also reflects the reproduction of multiple social inequalities between subjects of the Mexican State.

Wear rates of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyethylene cups were compared in 9-channel and 12-channel simulators, using serum lubrication and gravimetric techniques for wear assessment. Cobalt-chromium (CoCr) and alumina ceramic femoral heads in 22-42 mm diameter range were used to validate simulator wear rates against clinical data. This was also the first study of three femoral head sizes evaluated concurrently in a simulator (with three replicate specimens) and also the first report in which any wear experiments were repeated. Fluid absorption artefacts were within ± 1 per cent of wear magnitude for PTFE and ± 8 per cent for polyethylene and were corrected for. Wear rates were linear as a function of test duration. Precision within each set of three cups was within ±6 per cent. The wear rates from experiments repeated over 15 months were reproducible to within ± 24 per cent. However, the magnitudes of the simulator wear rates were not clinically accurate, the PTFE wear rates (2843 mm3/106 cycles; 22 mm diameter) were over three times higher than in vivo, the polyethylene 30 to 50 per cent on the low side (23 mm3/106 cycles; 22 mm diameter). Volumetric wear rate increased with respect to size of femoral head and a linearly increasing relationship of 7-8 per cent/mm was evident with respect to femoral head diameter for both PTFE and polyethylene. These data compared well with the clinical data.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.
