Frequency of Autoantibodies on Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

(1) Background: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is a neoplasm that can significantly compromise the immune system, but timely assessment can change the patient outcome. In cancer, the activation of the immune system could lead to the secretion of autoantibodies. (2) Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed from 2017 to 2019 in patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosed with a biopsy.

The Hypertriglyceridemic Waist Phenotype Is Associated with Several Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Unlabelled: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associates with cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) such as dyslipidemias and systemic inflammation. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality. The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype (HTWP) identifies increased CVRF; however, information about HTWP on RA is scarce.

Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Lipids in Hematological Malignancies.

One of the main groups of lipids is phospholipids, which are mainly involved in forming cell membranes. Neoplastic processes such as cell replication have increased lipid synthesis, making tumor cells dependent on this synthesis to maintain their requirements. Antiphospholipid antibodies attack phospholipids in the cell membranes.

Correlation between percentage of fat mass and level of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis.

Introduction: Controversies exist regarding the relationship between body fat and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The evaluation of the disease is critical for establishing treatment and prognosis. Fat mass could be a predictive factor for poor prognosis in rheumatoid arthritis because of its association with low- and high-grade inflammation.

The prothrombotic state in cancer.

Neoplasms result from changes in the mechanisms of growth, differentiation, and cellular death. Cancers are of high clinical relevance due to their prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality. The clinical and biological diversity of cancer depends mainly on cellular origin and degree of differentiation.

Concordance between clinical diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism at hospital discharge and anatomopathological diagnosis.

Half of the cases of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) are not diagnosed because of its unspecific clinical presentation; in Mexico, autopsy data reveal a similar incidence to that of developed countries. The objective of this work was to know the concordance between the clinical diagnosis of PTE at hospital discharge and its autopsy diagnosis. The method used was a retrospective cohort study of cases with PTE diagnosis who attended from January 2005 to December 2013.

New biomarkers in non-Hodgkin lymphoma and acute leukemias.

Biomarkers play a critical role in the medical care of patients with cancer, including in early detection of the disease, diagnostic accuracy, risk stratification, treatment, and follow-up. Biomarkers in hematological malignancies can support the redefinition of the diagnosis and adjustments in the treatment plan. Biomarkers can be classified into 4 categories: (1) protein antigens, (2) cytogenetic abnormalities, (3) genetic polymorphisms, and (4) gene expression.

Obesity, Thrombotic Risk, and Inflammation in Cancer.

Unlabelled: Neoplasms exhibits a high incidence and mortality rates due to their complex and commonly overlapping clinical, biochemical, and morphologic profiles influenced by acquired or inherited molecular abnormalities, cell of origin, and level of differentiation. Obesity appears related to ~20% of cancers including endometrial, esophageal, colorectal, postmenopausal breast, prostate, and renal. Several factors other than obesity, i.

Circulating Levels of Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor and D-Dimer in Patients With Hematological Malignancies.

Background: Patients with cancer exhibit changes in their hemostatic mechanisms. The D-dimer (D-D) is the most important subproduct of fibrinolysis, and urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is related to invasiveness and metastases, and is overexpressed in neoplastic cells. The objective of this study was to identify in patients with hematological neoplasia, the serum levels of uPAR and D-D, and to determine their effects on outcome.

[Research on quality of health care from the Mexican Social Security Institute: a bibliometric study].

OBJECTIVE. To identify studies on quality of health care in the IMSS. MATERIALS AND METHODS.

Etiopathogenesis of Behcet's disease.

Bechet's disease (BD) is an inflammatory, multi systemic disease with spontaneous remissions and relapses similar to various autoimmune diseases. BD leads to organ damage, including the eyes, skin, joints, etc., which produces various clinical manifestations.

[Pathogenesis of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies].

The inflammatory myopathies, commonly described as idiopathic, are a group of acquired diseases characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate of the skeletal muscle. On the basis of clinical and immuno-pathological features, three major diseases can be identified: dermatomiositis (DM), polymyositis (PM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). Immunopathogenesis mechanisms are crucial for discriminating between the three different subsets of inflammatory myopathies.

[Serum levels of antistreptolysin O in teenagers from Mexican urban and rural areas].

Background: Antistreptolysin O (ASLO) may be an isolated evidence of recent infection by group A Streptococcus, especially in patients suspected of having a nonsuppurative sequel to this infection. We evaluated ASLO titers in students from urban and rural areas, age and geographic characteristics of study population among several other variables, could be factors that may influence in the ASLO levels in children.

Objective: To determine sera titers ofASLO in healthy adolescents from rural and urban areas in Mexico.

Soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 indicates SLE disease activity and specific organ involvement.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by immune complex deposits and subsequent vascular inflammation in many organs. Activated endothelial cells are a major source of VCAM-1. The levels of soluble VCAM-1 (sVCAM-1) are elevated in SLE and have been found to be associated with disease activity and damage organ especially renal involvement.

Differences in BCL-X(L) expression and STAT5 phosphorylation in chronic myeloid leukaemia patients.

Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) cells show expression of BCL-X(L), an anti-apoptotic oncogene. This expression is induced by BCR-ABL protein kinase through activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 protein (STAT5). To date, however, the contribution of BCL-X(L) and STAT5 to the transforming phenotype in CML is still unclear.
