[Structured clinical examinations with simulated patients during internal medicine clerkship].

Background: Practice is essential in clinical training and can be carried out with simulations. The medical school of the University of Chile performs Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) using standardized simulated patients for interns.

Aim: To report the experience with OSCE in an environment with a high number of students.

Inverse expression of survivin and reprimo correlates with poor patient prognosis in gastric cancer.

Background: The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between Survivin and Reprimo transcript/protein expression levels, and gastric cancer outcome.

Methods: correlations between an agnostic set of twelve p53-dependent apoptosis and cell-cycle genes were explored in the gastric adenocarcinoma TCGA database, using cBioPortal. Findings were validated by regression analysis of RNAseq data.
