An Unusual Presentation of Primary B-cell Lymphoma of the Small Bowel in an Immunosuppressant-Naive Patient With Newly Diagnosed Crohn's Disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of two primary conditions: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). UC primarily impacts the colon, leading to inflammation of the mucosal layer. Conversely, CD involves transmural inflammation and can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, ranging from the oral cavity to the perianal region.

Bipolar Disorder and Cardiovascular Risk in Rural versus Urban Populations in Colombia: A Comparative Clinical and Epidemiological Evaluation.

Background: Various multifactorial elements may contribute toward the urban and rural disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, particularly among patients with psychiatric diseases.

Objective: To investigate whether rural patients diagnosed and treated for Bipolar Disorder (BD) have different risk profiles and outcomes of CVD compared to urban (BD) patients.

Methods: We conducted a case-control study that included 125 BD patients (cases) from rural Filadelfia, Colombia and 250 BD patients (controls) treated in Bogotá, Colombia.
