Due to the smallpox epidemic in Santiago in 1872, a Commission or Central Board of isolation hospitals was created. These institutions were endowed with the necessary personnel to receive and assist the sick, highlighting the work of medical students, interns at these hospitals. The total number of patients treated in the infirmaries of Santiago reached 6,782, with a fatality rate of 3,073 (45.3%).

Article Synopsis
- Upadacitinib shows promise for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with a real-world study involving 100 patients indicating effectiveness and safety over a median follow-up period of 7.6 months.
- Clinical remission rates were 59% at week 8 and 64% at week 12, with higher success in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients previously treated with tofacitinib.
- Despite some discontinuation of treatment (23 patients), factors like UC diagnosis and lower disease activity at baseline correlated with better remission outcomes, while 43 patients experienced adverse events.

Gastroenterology Department, La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital, Valencia, Spain.
Background: Telemonitoring for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not consistently demonstrated superiority over standard care; however, noninferiority may be an acceptable outcome if remote care proves to be more efficient.
Objective: This study aims to compare the remission time and quality of life of patients with active IBD managed through standard care versus the TECCU (Telemonitoring of Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) app.
Methods: A 2-arm, randomized, multicenter trial with a noninferiority design was conducted across 24 hospitals in Spain.

Article Synopsis
- A qualitative study explored the barriers and facilitators of implementing a pilot trial of Critical Time Intervention-Task-Shifting for individuals with psychosis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Santiago, Chile, using 40 semi-structured interviews.
- Analysis revealed that barriers and facilitators were categorized into five domains: Personal, Interpersonal, Intervention, Mental Health System, and Contextual.
- Key findings indicated that while mental health stigma and community violence posed challenges, the intervention is generally seen as acceptable and feasible, presenting a valuable opportunity to enhance mental health care systems in Latin America.
