Efficacy of the regional Mexican diet versus the Mediterranean diet in patients with MASLD: a 24-week non-inferiority trial.

In the present manuscript we present evidence of the improvement of MASLD with dietary intervention. It is known that the Mediterranean diet is the best intervention for this pathology, however, it cannot be established in all countries due to the diversity of foods. We create a Mexican diet with the nutrients of the Mediterranean diet for the treatment of our population.

Association of adverse childhood experiences with irritable bowel syndrome in Mexican adults: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to the development of gastrointestinal disorders during adulthood, but there is limited research on the prevalence of ACEs in Latin American populations. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and impact of ACEs on Mexican adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 290 Mexican adults (aged 18-65), including 90 individuals with IBS and 200 healthy controls.

Higher cardiovascular risk scores and liver fibrosis risk estimated by biomarkers in patients with metabolic-dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

Background: The definition of metabolic-dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) allows identification of metabolically complicated patients. Fibrosis risk scores are related to cardiovascular risk (CVR) scores and could be useful for the identification of patients at risk of systemic complications.

Aim: To evaluate the relationship between MAFLD and CVR using the Framingham risk score in a group of Mexican patients.

Body composition and phase angle by bioimpedance in patients with MAFLD.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of the body components and phase angle (PhA) of patients with MAFLD according to those different to fibrosis and hepatic steatosis.

Material And Methods: Observational and descriptive study in a cohort of 585 volunteers from our center with MAFLD criteria. The risk of liver fibrosis was determined by APRI, NAFLD score and FIB-4; at an indeterminate and high risk of fibrosis, a transient elastography (Fibroscan®) were realized.

Giant rectal polyp prolapse in an adult patient with the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant intestinal polyposis syndrome characterised by the presence of hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation. Prolapse of the polyps through the anus is an infrequent manifestation in children with PJS, and this complication is extremely rare in adult patients. We report the case of a 30-year-old man recently diagnosed with PJS who was seen at the emergency department because of the abrupt onset of severe anal pain with a foreign body sensation in the anal canal and rectal bleeding.
