Cancer control and prevention in Argentina
Published 2019“…From the 1920s to the early 1980s, three distinct periods can be identified: first, an institutional approach, where the first cancer institute attempted to concentrate all the activities related to the control of cancer, that is, lay education, scientific research, diagnosis and treatment, patients’ support, and cancer statistics; second, a state approach, inaugurated by the arrival of Juan Domingo Perón to government, where the centralization of cancer initiatives became a state affair; and third, a long period characterized by the retirement of the state—marked by political unrest and a succession of military governments until the return of democracy in 1983—informed by decentralizing policies, the prominent role of civil society actors, such as voluntary organizations and medical societies, and the relative sway of the Pan American Health Organization. …”

Pregnancy outcomes of women with Type 2 and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM): specific focus on client engagement with health professionals, diagnosis of GDM and supplementation...
Published 2020“…Recent studies have reported significantly lower levels of AA & DHA in the red blood cells of pregnant women with GDM and T2 DM, resulting in a depletion in placental uptake and transfer of these fatty acids to the foetus and adequate supply for the mother, which if remains untreated, may have adverse impact on maternal, foetal and neonatal health in the short- and long-term. Therefore, women in these high risk groups need to effectively engage with health care professionals (HCPs) involved in their care and the services offered to them. …”
