[Inflammageing in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)].

Methods: We took Peripheral blood samples from adult patients over 60 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of IPF through biopsy or clinical criteria. Plasma separation was performed, and proinflammatory cytokines were measured using CBA. This study received approval from the ethics and research committee of the Colombian Pulmonological Foundation.

[Medial discoid meniscus in a pediatric patient. Case report and review of the literature].

Discoid meniscus is a congenital morphological variant of the meniscus, which tends to occur more frequently in its lateral form than in the medial form. This anomaly is characterized by central hypertrophy of the meniscus and a larger diameter than the normal meniscus, resulting in an abnormal shape and greater coverage of the tibial plateau. The clinical presentation of this condition varies depending on the stability of the meniscus.

Toxic metals from atmospheric particulate matter in food species of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) used in urban gardening. A closed chamber study.

In this work, two plant foods, strawberry and tomato, were subjected to exposure to metals from synthetic airborne particles in a closed chamber experiment. The synthetic particles were obtained in the laboratory. Within the closed chamber, particles were added and recirculated for 4 days in a turbulent air stream, causing deposition on the different parts of the plants.

Effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on tumor immune infiltration in breast cancer patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

The tumor immune infiltrate has an impact on cancer control and progression, additionally a growing body of evidence has proposed the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in modulating the contexture of the tumor immune infiltrate. Here, we performed a systematic review to evaluate the effect of chemotherapy in the immune infiltration of breast cancer tumors. We systematically searched Pubmed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and BVS databases with a cutoff date of 11/06/2022.
