Abstract

Aims: The goal of this study was to evaluate the development of telemedicine in Colombia. Materials and Methods: Searched for laws in the Colombian legal system; the statistics of services and health operators was extracted from the unique system of habilitation; we looked for reports from the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the demographic statistics was obtained from the National Administrative Department of Statistics. Data analysis techniques were applied to identify possible relationships between them. Results: In Colombia, since the proclamation of the legality of telemedicine in 2007, there are five laws, five resolutions, and three government plans. A total of 3,245 services have been implemented in telemedicine, distributed throughout the territory by 51,490 operators, the ICT penetration rate is 21.17% by fixed internet and 39.3% by mobile internet; the Colombian population is 49,882,091 people, 25,228,444 women and 24,605,796 men, who are distributed 76.97% in the urban sector and 23.02% in the rural sector, and the coverage of health services is 94.8%. Conclusion: The development of health services in the telemedicine modality has been driven by Colombian regulations since 2007 and the ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
