Clinical and epidemiological characterization of patients with cutaneous tuberculosis treated at a referral center in the Brazilian Amazon: case series.
An Bras Dermatol
January 2025
Background: Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare form of the disease that defies diagnosis due to the diversity of clinical presentations. This study was based on the reality of a dermatology referral center in the Brazilian Amazon region to detail several characteristics of this disease.
Objective: To describe a series of cases of cutaneous tuberculosis treated at a dermatology service in the Brazilian Amazon region, addressing epidemiological aspects, clinical forms, diagnostic methods, treatment, and outcomes.
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.
Article Synopsis
- Neurodegenerative diseases show overlapping deficits in interoception, emotions, and social cognition, linked to a common neurobiological network called the allostatic-interoceptive network (AIN), although this hasn't been fully explored previously.
- A comprehensive meta-analysis found 170 relevant studies involving 7,032 participants, highlighting key brain areas (like the insula and amygdala) correlated with these deficits across several neurodegenerative conditions including bvFTD, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson’s disease.
- Overall, neurodegeneration disrupts the AIN, with greater effects seen in bvFTD, suggesting a need for more integrated research approaches in understanding these cognitive impairments.
Background: In the past decades, endoscopic ultrasound has developed from a diagnostic tool to a platform for many therapeutic interventions. Various technological advancements have emerged since the last Brazilian Consensus, demanding a review and update of the recommendations based on the best scientific evidence.
Methods: A group of 32 renowned echoendoscopists selected eight relevant topics to be discussed to generate clinical questions.
