Comprehensive histopathological analysis of gastric cancer in European and Latin America populations reveals differences in PDL1, HER2, p53 and MUC6 expression.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.

Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.

The green convergence: United States lakes are collectively moving toward a eutrophic state.

Nutrient enrichment and climate change promote algal blooms, leading to many lakes being characterized as eutrophic (i.e., green) worldwide.

PI3K Mutation Profiles on Exons 9 (E545K and E542K) and 20 (H1047R) in Mexican Patients With HER-2 Overexpressed Breast Cancer and Its Relevance on Clinical-Pathological and Survival Biological Effects.

: Trastuzumab resistance is associated with overexpressing the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), which results from the altered phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway in breast cancer patients. : We quantified the frequency of PI3K enzyme single and double-point mutations in Mexican patients with HER-2 overexpressing breast cancer and its association with clinical-pathological variables. : We embedded HER-2 breast samples in paraffin from 60 patients, extracted their DNA, and evaluated PI3K mutations in 49 HER-2-positive breast tumors.

Abundance and Leishmania infection patterns of the sand fly Psathyromyia cratifer in Southern Mexico.

Background: Localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL) is a serious public health problem in Southern Mexico. Six species of Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) have been found to be infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana, the causative agent of LCL in the region. However, little is known about the biology and potential participation of Psathyromyia cratifer in the Leishmania transmission cycle in Mexico, and the Americas.

Quadruple therapies show a higher eradication rate compared to standard triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection within the LEGACy consortium. A multicenter observational study in European and Latin American countries.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of GC; therefore, its eradication reduces the risk of developing this neoplasia. There is extensive evidence regarding quadruple therapy with relevance to the European population.
