In the surgical field, the correct approach to the psychiatric patient represents a medical challenge, given the special considerations to be taken in the individualization of their diagnosis and treatment. We present an uncommon case of a 29-year-old patient with associated psychiatric pathology who presented to the emergency room after the introduction of two foreign bodies into the nasal cavity. After the endoscopic removal of one of the foreign bodies, the X-ray follow-up shows a second foreign body into the esophagus, which progressed to the vermiform appendix, causing the classical clinical signs of acute appendicitis as a complication.

The objective was to describe the changes of CBDP after open surgical exploration in patients with choledocholithiasis, considering clinical scenarios in remote locations.
Material And Methods: A before-after study was designed.
Aim: Competency-based medical education has become increasingly prevalent among surgical accreditation bodies that conduct assessments to ensure the competency of future professionals and judge the adequacy of training programs.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional study to validate an instrument to evaluate entrustable professional activities (EPA) according to the Single Program of Medical Specialties through content and construct validity by expert judgment, and internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha.
Results: Four of the rubrics scored high to optimal for univocity and relevance.
Background: There is no treatment for septic acute kidney injury (sAKI). The anti-inflammatory activity of prolonged-release pirfenidone (PR-PFD) could be beneficial in this clinical setting.
Methods: This study was a double-blind randomized clinical trial in sAKI patients with nephrology consultation at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara, in addition to the usual treatment of AKI associated with sepsis; patients were randomized to receive either PR-PFD at 1,200 mg/day (group A) or 600 mg/day (group B) or a matched placebo for 7 consecutive days.
Background: The kidney is the most commonly injured organ of the genitourinary system during trauma. We describe the associated risk factors for the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with renal trauma (RT).
Materials And Methods: We prospectively analyzed data from 65 patients who suffered RT from 2015 to 2019 at the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara.
