Outcomes from elective colorectal cancer surgery during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

This study aimed to describe the change in surgical practice and the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on mortality after surgical resection of colorectal cancer during the initial phases of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Fenotipos alfa-1 antitripsina en pacientes cubanos con artritis reumatoidea

Se determinaron los fenotipos alfa-1-antitripsina en 35 pacientes adultos cubanos con artritis reumatoidea y se compararon con los de 50 individuos sanos que conformaron el grupo control. Hubo incremento significativo de los fenotipos no MM en pacientes con artritis reumatoidea con respecto al grupo control (p = 0,003). Las comparaciones entre ambos grupos de pacientes (MM y no MM) mostraron que la presencia del factor reumatoideo se asoció significativamente (p = 0,0273) en los MM y que la inflamación articular persistente (p = 0,04) y la ausencia de remisión al tratamiento con sales de oro (p = 0,001), a los no MM. Es probable que los individuos con fenotipos alfa-1-At no MM sean susceptibles a la artritis reumatoidea en nuestro medio y en casos con la enfermedad tales fenotipos deficientes pueden desempeñar un papel en la severidad inflamatoria y en la mala respuesta al tratamiento

Determinación retrospectiva de marcadores de células basales útiles en el diagnóstico del adenocarcinoma prostático en biopsias prostáticas con diagnóstico dudoso

Revista Ciencias Biomédicas Vol.1, Núm. 1 (2010) Pag. 10 - 19El diagnóstico del cáncer de próstata en una cantidad mínima de tejido como el obtenido en las biopsias transrectales, es un reto para el patólogo que con frecuencia se enfrenta a casos difíciles por la presencia de lesiones benignas que imitan adenocarcinoma. Actualmente se dispone de marcadores para las células basales de la próstata, ausentes en el adenocarcinoma, como el anticuerpo contra citoqueratina de alto peso molecular, 34BE12 y el anticuerpo p63 que facilitan su identificación y permiten llegar a un diagnóstico al evaluar la lesión en el contexto del patrón morfológico, con la coloración de rutina. El objeto del presente estudio es implementar la utilización de los anticuerpos antiqueratina de alto peso molecular

Image Characterization of Cancer of the Colon

Background: Cancer of the colon is the second cause of death due to cancer worldwide, alter lung cancer in males and breast cancer in females. It is not possible to confirm the patient’s diagnosis without the result of image tests such as barium enema, ultrasound cytology or biopsy of the lesion. Objective: To characterize cancer of the colon through images. Methods: Descriptive study which included all the patients discharged from “Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima” General Hospital with a confirming diagnosis of cancer of the colon. The variables under study were: sex, age, past and family history of the disease, its way of presentation, location, image findings and histological diagnosis. Shi square was used for a 95 % exactitude where p<= 0,05. Results: Cancer of the colon was more frequently detected in the age group of 50 to 59 years of age in both sexes meanwhile in the age group 70 to 79 years of age the disease affected males. It was mainly associated to idiopathic ulcerative colitis and to family history of cancer of the colon and cholecystectomy. Suggestive symptoms were predominant in the findings. The most frequent location was in the left part of the colon. There was correlation between the results of the ultrasound and barium enema the X-rays.Conclusion: Ultrasound was of great usefulness, but barium enema is the test of choice in our environment for the diagnosis of cancer of the colon

Interaction between FTO rs9939609 and the Native American-origin ABCA1 rs9282541 affects BMI in the admixed Mexican population

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to explore whether interactions between FTO rs9939609 and ABCA1 rs9282541 affect BMI and waist circumference (WC), and could explain previously reported population differences in FTO-obesity and FTO-BMI associations in the Mexican and European populations. Methods A total of 3938 adults and 636 school-aged children from Central Mexico were genotyped for both polymorphisms. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue biopsies from 22 class III obesity patients were analyzed for FTO and ABCA1 mRNA expression. Generalized linear models were used to test for associations and gene-gene interactions affecting BMI, WC and FTO expression. Results FTO and ABCA1 risk alleles were not individually associated with higher BMI or WC. However, in the absence of the ABCA1 risk allele, the FTO risk variant was significantly associated with higher BMI (P = 0.043) and marginally associated with higher WC (P = 0.067), as reported in Europeans. The gene-gene interaction affecting BMI and WC was statistically significant only in adults. FTO mRNA expression in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue according to ABCA1 genotype was consistent with these findings. Conclusions This is the first report showing evidence of FTO and ABCA1 gene variant interactions affecting BMI, which may explain previously reported population differences. Further studies are needed to confirm this interaction
