Seroprevalence of Celiac Disease in Mexican Mestizo Patients With Autoimmune Thyroid Disease.

Goals: This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of celiac disease in Mexican patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases, hypothesizing that prevalence would align with rates observed in other populations.

Background: The association between celiac disease and autoimmune thyroid diseases has been documented globally, with varying seroprevalence rates. Historically, Mexican Mestizos were considered at low risk for celiac disease, yet recent findings suggest similar prevalence to other regions.

Identifying the Hiccup-Induced Esophagogastric Waveform: A Case Series Report Using High-Resolution Manometry.

Hiccups result from involuntary contractions of the diaphragm, driven by a complex neuromuscular reflex. Three patients with persistent hiccups underwent esophageal high-resolution manometry during hiccup episodes, revealing a consistent finding: sustained contraction of the esophagogastric junction with intermittent pressure peaks. This pattern, termed the "Hiccup-Induced Esophagogastric Waveform," shows significant esophageal pressure changes linked to hiccup reflex.

[Comparison of different tools for the evaluation of malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis].

Introduction: malnutrition and sarcopenia are frequent in the population with liver cirrhosis and have a negative impact on the performance status and life expectancy of these patients. There are multiple assessment tools for malnutrition and sarcopenia in cirrhosis. Objective: to assess malnutrition and sarcopenia in liver cirrhosis and to compare the accuracy of diagnostic tools in this population.
