Colorectal cancer screening program implementation: biennial adherence and participation patterns.

Introduction And Aim: Adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is essential for the effectiveness of screening programs. Even though organized screening programs can improve the quality of the process and adherence, there are still challenges to overcome. The aim of the present study, in which we implemented a biennial organized screening program for CRC, was to describe adherence and participation patterns.

Effect of a Gluten-Free Diet on Whole Gut Transit Time in Celiac Disease (CD) and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) Patients: A Study Using the Wireless Motility Capsule (WMC).

: This study explores the impact of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on regional gastrointestinal (GI) transit times in individuals with celiac disease (CD) and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). While a GFD is established for managing CD and wheat allergy, its effects on NCGS remain controversial due to inconclusive evidence. Utilizing a wireless motility and pH capsule (WMC) to assess regional (measurements of gastric, small bowel, and colonic transit times) and whole gut transit, newly diagnosed CD ( = 12) and NCGS ( = 12) patients underwent evaluations at baseline and 4 weeks after having a GFD.

Biliary microhamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes), liver metastasis simulators: a series of eight cases.

Background: Von Meyenburg complexes are benign hamartomatous lesions, they are part of the spectrum of ductal plate malformations. They are rare, reported in 0.35-5.

Molecular detection of bovine leukosis virus in naturally infected dairy and dual-purpose cattle in Mexico.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of bovine leukosis virus (BLV) in specialized and dual-purpose dairy cows located in the central zone of Veracruz state in Mexico, using endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The study population consisted of 307 specialized dairy cows and 95 dual-purpose cows from 13 municipalities located in the study area. All cows were apparently healthy and ≥ 3 years old.
