Abstract Objective To determine the frequency of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) associated or not with potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), and epidemiological profile traditional risk factors in Latin America. Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted 17 American centres. There were included cases OSCC, analysing age, gender, OSCC their association previous OPMD. Clinicopathological variables retrieved. The condition sequential‐OSCC versus OSCC‐de novo (OSCC‐dn)...
Abstract Background Patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) may be particularly vulnerable during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) pandemic due to risk of worsening disease infection, potential adverse impacts 2019 (COVID‐19) treatments on neuromuscular transmission, and a limited ability fight off infection related immunosuppressive treatments. Our goal is understand how patients are experiencing COVID‐19 pandemic, including where they receive relevant...
Abstract Background and objective Different factors may influence colonoscopy performance measures. We aimed to analyze procedure‐ endoscopist‐related associated with detection of colorectal lesions whether these have a similar in the context different indications: positive fecal immunochemical test (+FIT) post‐polypectomy surveillance colonoscopies. Methods This multicenter cross‐sectional study included adults aged 40–80 years. Endoscopists ( N = 96) who had performed ≥50 examinations were...
The immunopathology of autoimmune seronegative myasthenia gravis (SN MG) is poorly understood. Our objective was to determine immune profiles associated with a diagnosis SN MG.We performed high-dimensional flow cytometry on blood samples from MG patients (N = 68), healthy controls 46), and acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR+) 27). We compared 12 cell subsets in using logistic modeling via discovery-replication design. An exploratory analysis fit multinomial model comparing AChR+ MG.An...
The inhibition of specific flavonoid on the in vitro platelet aggregation induced by collagen, arachidonic acid and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) agonist, seems to be related mostly their ability compete for binding TxA2 receptor (TP). aim this study was analyze effect soy isoflavone equol terms inhibiting sCD40L release stimulated ristocetin, an vitro-activator glycoprotein Ib/IX/V, platelets from postmenopausal women. When were 0.75 mg/ml (10 μM) exhibited a greater inhibitory activity (~68%) than...
The clinical assessment of patients with proximal muscle weakness represents a frequent yet intricate challenge. We present the case 60-year-old woman who experienced progressive, symmetrical in limbs and bulbar muscles over 6 months. Notable findings included bilateral ophthalmoparesis; widespread atrophy; pronounced craniobulbar, cervical, muscles, more severe than distal ones. elucidate methodical diagnostic approach, focusing on constructing comprehensive differential diagnosis...

Abstract Multifocal motor neuropathy is a rare, immune-mediated with asymmetric, often debilitating progressive weakness. The efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin in this disease well established; however, the response typically wanes over time. No other agent has shown similar therapeutic efficacy. We describe case anti-ganglioside GM1 IgM-positive multifocal typical incomplete and diminishing to Sixteen years after symptom onset, rituximab was administered at 2 g/m weeks. significant...
Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Staphylored Colombia is research network across various regions Colombia. The present study aimed to describe the epidemiological microbiological characteristics S. in pediatric patients from 2018 2021. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed isolates centers reported WHONET, WHO software for microbiology management. A infection (“event”) was defined as any...
Objective: To describe a case of prolonged remission multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) following treatment with rituximab Background: MMN is rare, chronic, immune-mediated that presents asymmetric distal limb weakness, atrophy, and fasciculations. Most patients improve IVIG require maintenance treatment, but the response diminishes over time, typically after 3–7 years. Second line options include cyclophosphamide plasma exchange, rituximab, cyclosporine, azathioprine, no placebo-controlled...
To study the relationships between ultrasound estimated visceral fat and some parameters of metabolic cardiovascular risk during pregnancy. Thirty consecutive healthy pregnant women at 11–14 weeks gestation were studied. Maximum subcutaneous thickness (SFT) (VFT) successfully measured by ultrasound. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), blood pressure measured. Insulin resistance was calculated using homeostasis model...
