To ensure safe, optimal, and personalized physical activity, exercise, or sport during pregnancy, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and the Women's Health Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, developed the Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy (GAQ_P) as a pre-assessment to identify women who may have a relative or absolute contraindication to prenatal exercise that requires further consultation with a health professional to determine if exercise can or should be continued or initiated during pregnancy. This study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the GAQ_P for use in Colombian Spanish. The original instrument was developed in English and French for the evaluation of the health of pregnant women before the beginning of physical activity and the guidelines for the same.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between GIST and other tumors in a genetically isolated population.
Aims: Recently it has been hypothesized that perforation of colorectal cancer (CRC) itself is not a predictor of poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the prognostic impact, of the spontaneous perforation of the tumour, metastatic lymph nodes and lymph node ratio (LNR) after potentially curative surgery.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of oncologic outcomes of patients with T4a CRC grouped by perforated and non-perforated tumours.
Background: Emphysematous cholecystitis is a variant of acute cholecystitis which is generally caused by gas-forming organisms. Emphysematous cholecystitis may cause gas spreading within the subcutaneous tissue, peritoneal cavity and retroperitoneum.
Case Presentation: We present a case of emphysematous cholecystitis in a middle-aged diabetic patient who, postoperatively, presented edema in both flanks and left chest crepitation on palpation, associated with hemodynamic worsening.
