Abstract: Objetivo: identificar la prevalencia de Candida albicans y su relación con cambios en el pH vaginal. Métodos: se analizaron 412 tomas de muestra cervico-vaginal con la finalidad de detectar cáncer cérvico-uterino e incidencia de C. albicans y pH vaginal. Las muestras fueron obtenidas por la técnica tradicional de papanicolaou. Resultados: 412 pacientes fueron estudiadas, 104 (25%) presentaron infección por C. albicans, la cual se asocia con mayor frecuencia a pH vaginal de 5. Conclusión: C. albicans es el prin… Show more

Objective: This paper aims to evaluate the quality of scientific production in family medicine in Mexico and identify gaps in the development of research in this medical discipline. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed original articles, reviews, case reports, and editorials published from Mexico, from the year 2014 to 2023, in the three family medicine journals edited in the country. Several bibliometric indicators were evaluated. Attributes that confer validity in original articles were analyzed, and through random sampling, 10% were selected to determine their quality using checklists. Results: A total of 627 articles were analyzed; among these, 57.89% were original, 19.61% reviews, 17.06% editorials, and 5.42% case reports. Our analysis revealed significant disparities in research activity across regions in Mexico. Productivity, transience, and isolation indices were 2.79, 78.58%, and 54.05%, respectively, while the Price index was 42.74%. A small percentage of articles received funding and followed guidelines for medical research reporting (0.47% and 0.63%, respectively). The analysis of validity attributes in original articles revealed that 92.83% were observational, 88.98% were unicentric, in 47.38%, no sample size calculation was performed or specified, while in 12.12%, sampling was probabilistic. In the evaluation of the original articles, more than 60% showed limitations that compromised their quality. Conclusions: The number of published articles, along with their bibliometric, validity, and quality attributes, reflect significant gaps in the generation and dissemination of knowledge in family medicine in Mexico. This shows a transgenerational problem, identified in many countries, where the advancement of family medicine as a specialty is limited by low research productivity and methodological weaknesses in reporting.

Introdução. A candidíase vulvovaginal é um dos problemas mais comuns na saúde feminina. Objectivo: Caracterizar a candidíase vulvovaginal num grupo de mulheres residentes na província de Luanda. Material e Métodos: O Instituto Nacional de Investigação em Saúde (INIS) de Angola realizou um estudo descritivo de corte transversal para caracterizar a candidíase vulvovaginal num grupo de mulheres residentes na província de Luanda. O universo foi constituído por 404 mulheres com diagnóstico de vaginite, referenciadas ao INIS, no período de Janeiro a Junho do ano 2019. Uma amostra de secreção vaginal foi colhida para o exame directo e cultura. Foi utilizada a carta de VITEK® 2 para a identificação das espécies de cândida e o perfil de sensibilidade destes fungos aos antifúngicos Resultados. A idade média das pacientes investigadas foi de 33 anos, com predomínio da faixa etária de 30 a 39 anos. A prevalência da candidíase vulvovaginal foi de 31,4 % (128 mulheres positivas). Durante o estudo foram detectadas as seguintes espécies de Cândida: C. albicans 122 casos (95.3%) C. Krussei 4 casos (3.1%), C. tropicalis e C. Viswanathii 1 caso cada um (0,7). No grupo de mulheres positivas por Cândidas 114 (98%) apresentaram sintomas associados à infecção por este fungo, com predomínio dos sintomas como o prurido em 49 pacientes (38.3%), seguida pelas secreções vaginais em 47 pacientes (36.7%) e a dispareunia foi referida por 23 mulheres (18%). As espécies de Cândida albicans apresentaram 100 % de sensibilidade aos antifúngicos nystatina e voriconazol e 97,1% a caspofungina, micafungina e fluocitosina. As restantes espécies de cândidas foram sensíveis a todos os antifúngicos. Conclusões. A Cândida albicans foi o fungo mais frequente nas mulheres com candidíase vulvovaginal.
