Abstract Background Relatives of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have a higher risk developing the condition than general population. Approximately 12% IBD cases are familial. We aim to evaluate prevalence family history (FH-IBD) in Crohn’s (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, identify clinical characteristics linked FH-IBD risk, develop polygenic score (PRS) for FH-IBD. Methods Patients were recruited from Chilean referral center between 2019 2024, yielding data 412...
Background: Simulation is a useful training tool for undergraduate medical students. A valid instrument needed to assess studentsâ perception of simulation workshops.

Abstract Background In the past two decades, multiple studies have shown an improvement in outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients including a decreasing mortality associated with new treatments, surveillance, and healthcare support. There are no large Latin-American countries addressing survival death causes IBD patients. We aimed to assess relative (RS) Chilean Methods treated tertiary reference centre (Pontificia Universidad Católica Chile, Santiago, Chile) since January...
Gastric infection by Helicobacter pylori has a variable prevalence worldwide. In Latin America, it can exceed 50% of infected people. It is associated with peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, MALT lymphoma, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, among other pathologies. There no optimal diagnostic method, and its presence be detected both invasive methods that require an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, non-invasive methods. Within the invasive, we have rapid urease test, histology, molecular tests...
Goodpasture Syndrome is described as a single episode disease entity. It diagnosed with the demonstration of antiglomerular basement (anti-GBM) antibodies in plasma or renal tissue. Although recurrence anti-GBM rare, it has been reported up to 3% cases. Recurrence negative even less frequent We report 63 years old male whom recurred without detectable plasma, despite having positive at onset.
Pancreatic metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are exceptional. We report a 80-year-old man consulting for obstructive jaundice and dysphonia. Abdominal ultrasonography showed biliary dilation abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pancreatic head mass 36 mm. A left vocal cord paralysis was confirmed cervical computed tomography (CT) multiple nodules up to 35 mm associated with bilateral lymph nodes (LN). Positron emission ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) evidenced hyper-metabolic activity...
