Due to the reported low incidence of gastrointestinal TB, there is a lack of data related to the prognosis, risk factors and frequency of resistant TB in this subgroup of patients. To report the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment and outcomes in gastrointestinal TB. We prospectively studied the demographic, clinical, and paraclinical data of all consecutive gastrointestinal TB inpatients over an 8-year period.

- The study highlights that informal caregivers for relatives with visual impairments in Mexico often experience significant levels of burden and depression.

Article Synopsis
- The "Joven & Fuerte" program enhances access to fertility-preservation (FP) strategies for young breast cancer patients in resource-limited areas like Mexico, addressing the gap in treatment-related infertility.
- Out of 447 studied patients, only 12% preserved fertility, highlighting a significant need for better FP support despite 38% expressing a desire for future children.
- Factors such as younger age, higher education, employment status, private healthcare, and fewer children increased the likelihood of utilizing FP methods like oocyte/embryo cryopreservation and ovarian suppression during chemotherapy.
Background: Breast cancer (BC) in young women is characterized by an unfavorable prognosis in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative tumors, which may be explained by low rates of tamoxifen adherence. In Mexico, up to 14% of all BC diagnoses occur in young women and no data on tamoxifen adherence has been reported.
Objective: To estimate the rate of adherence to adjuvant tamoxifen in Mexican young women with BC (YWBC).
Objectives: We investigated the role of novel intra-abdominal parameters measured by computed tomography (CT) in the prediction of clinical outcomes in acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods: Patients with AP underwent an abdominal CT scan on admission to define different intra-abdominal parameters (abdominal circumference, peritoneal cavity circumference, intraabdominal visceral fat area, and subcutaneous fat area) at the L2-L3 level using the open-source image analysis software Osirix Lite v.11.
