Assessment of quality benchmarks in adenoma detection in Mexico.

Several Latin American countries, including Mexico, have reported an increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality. The effectiveness of a colonoscopy in preventing CRC depends on the quality of the procedure, for which the adenoma detection rate (ADR) is one of the most trusted indicators. Awareness of ADR can improve the quality of colonoscopies through proper feedback and training of the specialists.

Bilateral carotid body tumor resection in a female patient.

Introduction: Carotid body tumors also called carotid paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms derived from neural crest cells, approximately 3% of all paragangliomas occur in the head and neck area (Xiao and She, 2015); although they represent 65% of the head and neck paragangliomas (Georgiadis et al., 2008).

Presentation Of Case: We present the therapeutic management of a 65-year-old woman with bilateral carotid body tumors.

Pulmonary extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: A case report and literature review.

Background: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) accounts for the 3% of all soft tissue sarcomas and it's categorized as a tumour of uncertain differentiation. This entity has shown to have the recurrent balanced chromosomal translocation t(9;22) (q22;q12.2), which leads to the oncogenic fusion gene EWSR1-NR4A3.

Mammary analog secretory carcinoma of the parotid gland: A case report and literature review.

Background: Mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC) was first described in 2010 by Skálová et al. This entity shares morphologic and immunohistochemical features with the secretory carcinoma (SC) of the breast. MASC usually presents as an asymptomatic mass in the parotid gland and predominantly affects men.

Effect of the glycemic index of the diet on weight loss, modulation of satiety, inflammation, and other metabolic risk factors: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Low-glycemic index (GI) diets have been proven to have beneficial effects in such chronic conditions as type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and some types of cancer, but the effect of low-GI diets on weight loss, satiety, and inflammation is still controversial.

Objective: We assessed the efficacy of 2 moderate-carbohydrate diets and a low-fat diet with different GIs on weight loss and the modulation of satiety, inflammation, and other metabolic risk markers.

Design: The GLYNDIET study is a 6-mo randomized, parallel, controlled clinical trial conducted in 122 overweight and obese adults.
