[Endothelial function assessment by positron emission tomography in patients with hypercholesterolemia].

Unlabelled: Hypercholesterolemia prompts to endothelial dysfunction (ED) and ED predisposes to atherogenesis. ED appears early in the course of atherogenesis and it is considered a coronary artery disease (CAD) marker.

Objectives: To assess endothelial function (EF) using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in asymptomatic patients with recent dyslipidemia diagnosis and without history of ischemic heart disease and previous hypolipemiant treatment.

[Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome). Clinical case].

Colorectal cancer is an important neoplasm in general population, about 90% of the cases are sporadical, but near of 5% are due to hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer. Early detection is imperative due to genetic linkage and association to other neoplasms diagnosed an early age. This case report is about a young man diagnosed with colorectal cancer that presented multiple recurrences and had at least two affected generations.
