Background: Iron overload disorders, including hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), are characterized by excessive iron accumulation, which can cause severe organ damage. HH is most associated with the C282Y mutation in Caucasian populations, but its prevalence and genetic profiles in Latin American populations remain underexplored.
Objectives: To describe the clinical manifestations, genetic profiles, and biochemical characteristics of patients with suspected iron overload disorders in a specialized hematology center in Cali, Colombia.

The aim is to analyze its clinical-epidemiological characteristics and propose diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
Study Design/setting: We conducted a 30-year retrospective study on patients under 18 years of age diagnosed with acute mastoiditis in Cantabria.
High-Titer Rheumatoid Factor is Associated with Worse Clinical Outcomes and Higher Needs for Advanced Therapies in Rheumatoid Arthritis Under Real-Life Conditions.
Rheumatol Ther
December 2024
Universidade Do Estado Do Rio de Janeiro, Rheumatology, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- RF titers are significant in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and vary in their clinical impact, with high RF titers linked to poorer health outcomes.
- A study with 1,097 RA adults found a substantial portion had positive RF, with high titers prevalent, and identified associations of high RF with factors such as tobacco use and higher body mass index.
- High RF levels correlated with increased disease activity, reduced functional capacity, and greater use of corticosteroids and biological drugs, indicating a need for careful monitoring in RA patients.
Clinical landscape and treatment of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: Insights from a high-volume center in Shaanxi, China.
World J Clin Cases
December 2024
Department of General Surgery, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico, Rome 00128, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a recent study by Wang on acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB), a serious gastroenterological emergency.
- The research analyzed over 530 patients at a high-volume center in Shaanxi, China, revealing a younger patient demographic and a greater prevalence of gastric and duodenal ulcers compared to European studies.
- It underscores the significance of endoscopic treatment as the preferred management approach and the need to follow current guidelines for effective treatment of ANVUGIB.
[Lyme's disease. A critical analysis of its presence in Argentina].
Medicina (B Aires)
December 2024
Departamento de Bacteriología, Servicio Bacteriología Especial, INEI-ANLIS Carlos G. Mabrán, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Article Synopsis
- Lyme disease in Argentina is currently not autochthonous, with no local cases reported, and its diagnosis involves a two-step serological testing algorithm.
- From September 2014 to May 2022, a study analyzed 53 suspected cases, with all confirmed cases showing travel history to affected regions.
- The results revealed a high rate of false positives (91%) from private laboratories, suggesting the need for careful diagnosis based on symptoms and approved testing methods.
