Background: Strabismus generates a negative psychosocial impact on adult patients, affecting aspects such as self-perception and quality of life. There is no scale in Colombian Spanish that measures these impacts.
Objective: To carry out the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the AS-20 instrument into Colombian Spanish.
Materials And Methods: Pilot test of a cross-sectional Study for the translation, reverse translation, and cross-cultural the AS-20 instrument from its original language, English, to Colombian Spanish, in adult patients with strabismus in Bogotá, Colombia.
Results: 16 patients were assessed. The age range was between 18 and 68 years with a mean age of 41 years. The scale was answered in an average time of 10.62min. Difficulty was reported in three individuals for understanding two items (questions 8 and 14), which were resolved.
Conclusion: The translation and pilot test of AS-20 scale into Colombian Spanish was carried out, identifying and solving translational difficulties. Is the first step in the cross-cultural adaptation process. Based on the results, the validation and cross-cultural adaptation can be completed in a future study.

Genetic studies in Latin America have expanded, but further efforts are needed to understand cancer susceptibility genes beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2, especially by characterizing the prevalence and spectrum of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PVs) in the region. This study aimed to determine the frequency of hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) in Colombians with solid tumors and to characterize the spectrum of PVs. Using data from the Colombia's largest Institutional Hereditary Cancer Program, we included patients aged ≥18 years with solid tumors who met HCS criteria and were offered genetic testing with a 105-cancer gene panel.

Objective: To comprehensively evaluate the risk associated with lifting loads in a small Colombian construction company, combining quantitative analysis of biomechanical factors and qualitative analysis of workers' perceptions and coping strategies.
Methods: Cross-sectional study with a mixed methods approach, both quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative phase consisted of an assessment of 8 common tasks in construction using the NIOSH and OWAS methods, breaking down each task into phases and considering the lifting of the load to estimate the most demanding posture and calculate the risk category.

Maternity rights are perceived and fulfilled differently according to women's psychosocial characteristics, leading to varying maternal experiences and outcomes. It is necessary to know the impact of cultural context, emotional well-being, and resource availability on the maternal woman's clinical care experience. The aim is to identify if these factors contribute to disparities in the perception of maternity rights fulfillment in Spain and Colombia.

The number of amphibian species described yearly shows no signs of slowing down, especially in tropical regions, implying that the biodiversity of amphibians remains woefully underestimated. A new species of poison frog is described from the Pacific lowlands of southwestern Colombia: , named for the Pacific music and dance genre known as "currulao" or "bambuco viejo". This species inhabits lowland forests from 0-260 m a.
