TL;DR: Early results following introduction of a combined pediatric and adult pneumococcal immunization program in Nicaragua show a probable impact of the program on the reduction of pneumonia-related deaths in older adults, but a less clear impact on the reduced of health facility visits for pneumonia.

TL;DR: In this paper, two box-type solar ovens were performance tested under various measured solar intensity conditions and the results showed that despite a substantially reduced thermal capacity the cardboard oven exhibited a maximum temperature and sufficient thermal stability for cooking similar quantities of food to that of the plywood model.

TL;DR: Miskito's "non-taster" high frequency approach values report for some highly inbred Central and South American Indian populations, while Rama's and Sumo's figures appear in aggrement with values reported for other relatively pure Amerindians.
Abstract: Ninety-six Miskito, 85 Sumo and 79 Rama Indians were tested for P.T.C. taste ability according to a modification of Harris and Kalmus' sorting technique. Miskito's "non-taster" high frequency approach values reported for some highly inbred Central and South American Indian populations, while Rama's and Sumo's figures appear in aggrement with values reported for other relatively pure Amerindians.

TL;DR: The present status of clinical implementation and the future perspectives of pharmacogenetics, pharmacovigilance and clinical trials for drug regulation in Latin America compared with the EMA-Pharmacogenomics Working Party and the US FDA initiatives were analyzed.
Abstract: Congress of Pharmacogenetics and Personalized Medicine Ethnicity, clinical implementation and regulatory environment (MESTIFAR 2016 Quito) Quito, Ecuador, 19-21 May 2016 The Ibero-American Network of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics (RIBEF) was created in 2006 with the main aim of promoting personalized medicine and collaborative pharmacogenetics research in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries in America and the Iberian Peninsula The final goal of this initiative was the inclusion of Latin American populations that may benefit from the implementation of personalized medicine in drug therapy Several initiatives have been promoted including the MESTIFAR project, which aimed to analyze the ethnicity, genotype and/or metabolic phenotype in Ibero-American populations To date, 6060 healthy volunteers have been analyzed; among them, 2571 were admixed, 1824 were Caucasians, 1395 were Native Americans, 174 were Jews and 96 were Afro-descendants Due to the large genetic variability within Latin Americans, ethnicity may be a relevant factor for the clinical implementation of personalized medicine Moreover, the present status of clinical implementation and the future perspectives of pharmacogenetics, pharmacovigilance and clinical trials for drug regulation in Latin America compared with the EMA-Pharmacogenomics Working Party and the US FDA initiatives were analyzed
