Prevalence of Fatty Pancreas and its relation with anthropometric values on the Growth and Obesity Cohort Study.

Objective: Nonalcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease (NAFPD) is characterized by excessive lipid accumulation within the pancreas in the absence of alcohol intake, potentially leading to pancreatic dysfunction and metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic carcinoma. The authors aim to estimate the prevalence of NAFPD and its association with anthropometric parameters in a cohort of Chilean adolescents.

Method: The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the "Growth and Obesity Chilean Cohort Study" (GOCS), a longitudinal study involving nearly 1000 children, followed yearly since 2006.

Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Listeria Species Recovered from Retail Outlets in Gauteng Province, South Africa.

The study determined the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of Listeria spp. (L. monocytogenes, L.

Genetic determinants of serum bilirubin using inferred native American gene variants in Chilean adolescents.

Gene variants in the gene are strongly associated with circulating bilirubin levels in several populations, as well as other variants of modest effect across the genome. However, the effects of such variants are unknown regarding the Native American ancestry of the admixed Latino population. Our objective was to assess the Native American genetic determinants of serum bilirubin in Chilean admixed adolescents using the local ancestry deconvolution approach.

[Severe acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia as the onset of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in the pediatric age].

Unlabelled: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG)-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) secondary to insulin deficiency following the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a rare but serious complication in children.

Objective: To describe the diagnosis and treatment of severe HTG and to emphasize the need for timely diagnosis of T1DM.

Clinical Case: A 15-year-old female adolescent with a history of overweight presented with a two-weeks history of fever, anorexia, and diffuse abdominal pain.
