Abnormal Cardiovascular Findings in Acute Pancreatitis: Are They Associated with Disease Severity?
Acute pancreatitis (AP), a disease that commonly requires in-hospital treatment, has been associated with a high incidence of abnormal cardiovascular findings (ACFs). We conducted a prospective study to explore the association of these findings with severity of the disease. ⋯ ACFs occur in an important proportion of patients during AP episodes. Future research should continue to focus in the association of ACFs and the severity of the disease.

Acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are potentially lethal cerebrovascular diseases that seriously impact public health. ACI and ICH share several common clinical manifestations but have totally divergent therapeutic strategies. A poor diagnosis can affect stroke treatment. ⋯ This study confirmed that metabolomic analysis is a promising tool for rapid and timely stroke differentiation and prediction based on differential metabolites.

Facial palsy is the most frequent manifestation of neuroborreliosis in the United States, Europe, and Asia, whereas in Mexico, its frequency is unknown. ⋯ Borrelia infection is frequent in facial palsy patients in Mexico, with B. burgdorferi s.s. and B. garinii being the most frequent causative species.

The incidence of breast cancer (BC) is rising worldwide, with an increase in aggressive neoplasias in young women. Traditionally, BC in young women has been thought to be etiologically driven, primarily by genetic/hereditary factors. However, these factors explain only a small proportion of BCs, pointing to a role of the environment. ⋯ Data from Latin America and developing regions are still sparse. There is a need to harmonize studies in a global effort to fight the rise of BC incidence in low- and middle-income countries, where the nutritional transition is occurring rapidly. The stratification of BC by specific tumor characteristics needs to be considered since risk factors may be more particularly associated with the promotion of, or protection from, a defined type of BC.
