Background: The Latin American military vascular trauma is virtually unknown. The aim of this study was to describe severe war vascular trauma during the last 20 years of the Colombian armed conflict, and to identify predictors of limb amputation.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of a follow-up cohort from 1999 to 2019 of patients with associated severe vascular injuries (ISS >15) in the Colombian armed conflict treated at the Hospital Militar Central.
Background: The protective effect of breastfeeding on celiac disease (CD) onset is controversial. We studied a wide range of milk components in milk produced by celiac mothers following long-term gluten-free diet (GFD) in comparison to milk produced by healthy mothers.
Methods: Breast-milk samples from celiac (n = 33) and healthy (n = 41) mothers were obtained during the first year of lactation.
Background: The timing of milk donations to human milk banks ranges from a few days to more than 1 year after delivery, and the Holder method is used for pasteurization. We evaluated the effect of temporal variation and thermal treatment on the immunological properties of milk.
Methods: We analyzed 73 milk samples, raw and after pasteurization, donated at different lactation stages.
