Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent form of cancer worldwide, and approximately one third of cases have a positive family history of CRC or associated cancers. Colonoscopy is one of the most effective methods of screening for CRC. Uptake of colonoscopy is suboptimal, and many countries lack a national screening programme. Our study aims at exploring and ranking several factual and psychological variables according to their accuracy in discriminating between screeners and non-screeners for CRC in a convenience sample of people over 50 years of age.

The study included 103 individuals aged over 50 years, recruited from day centres for the elderly. We explored socio-demographic variables, frequency of colonoscopy, previous recommendations for screening, health literacy and family history of cancer. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to establish the discriminative value for each variable between the positive and negative decision for colonoscopy screening. Areas under thedations for individuals at risk for CRC cancer.This report describes the use of local thrombolysis using a tissue plasminogen activator in a case of a patient with refractory ascites referred for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion. After successful TIPS insertion, the patient developed acute extended portal vein and TIPS thrombosis, which were treated with local thrombolysis using a tissue plasminogen activator, followed by the complete resolution of ascites. Hygromycin B chemical structure Although there are only limited published data of local thrombolysis for acute splanchnic vein thrombosis, we also review the relevance of the problem in the context of advanced liver disease.Adverse outcome pathways are tools to capture and visualize mechanisms underlying adverse effects, and are currently emerging in the areas of toxicology and chemical risk assessment. Less attention has yet been paid to potential clinical applications of adverse outcome pathways, including in the hepatology field. Liver adverse outcome pathways can serve the development and optimization of the clinically relevant animal models of liver diseases for fundamental and translational research as well as for testing new liver therapeutics. They also can aid the characterization of novel and more specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of liver disease. Full clinical exploitation in these directions requires further technical optimization of adverse outcome pathways as well as intensive interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration.
Although a family history of cancer (FHC) can modify the lifestyle and attitudes towards participation in cancer screening programs, studies on this relationship show mixed results and vary across populations. The objectives of the study were to compare sociodemographic characteristics, history of gastrointestinal (GI) investigations and Helicobacter pylori eradication, and modifiable cancer risk factors between those with FHC and those with no FHC (NFHC), and to investigate the association between FHC and a history of GI investigations.

A total of 3,455 questionnaires from the pilot study of the "Helicobacter pylori eradication and pepsinogen testing for prevention of gastric cancer mortality (GISTAR study)" in Latvia were analysed. We compared sociodemographic characteristics and history of GI investigations between participants with self- reported FHC and NFHC. Binary logistic regression models adjusted for socio-demographic characteristics and modifiable cancer risk factors were built for a FHC and each GI investigation.

Participants with a FHC were more likely to be women, have a higher education and less likely to have harmful habits (smoking, alcohol consumption) than those with NFHC. Participants with a FHC were approximately twice as likely to report recent colorectal investigations specifically for screening, than those with NFHC. In fully adjusted logistic regression models, FHC was significantly associated with a recent history of faecal occult blood tests (FOBTs), colonoscopies, and colorectal investigations (FOBT or colonoscopy) specifically for screening as part of the national organized screening programme.

Our results indicate that those with a FHC have different patterns of health-related behaviour than those with NFHC.

The Bronx borough in New York City, which has been disproportionately impacted by HIV, has also experienced significant disparities in COVID-19. In this perspective, we discuss the disruptions faced by our community and primary-care based HIV programs at Montefiore Health System in the Bronx in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our HIV prevention and treatment programs, the resulting adaptations to clinical care, and the implications for practice and future research.Following the initiation of antiretroviral therapy, most HIV-infected individuals experience significant weight gain. It was originally thought to result from reduced energy consumption associated with suppression of overt virus replication. However, recent evidence suggests that is not simply a back to normal phenomenon. Indeed, a differential influence on weight has been noticed for distinct antiretroviral drugs, some of which may produce abnormal body weight gain and metabolic disturbances. Treatment with integrase inhibitors in particular leads to significant increases in body mass index. By contrast, protease inhibitors might protect from undesirable weight gain. Ultimately, the development of overweight and obesity in an aging HIV population may increase the risk of cardiovascular events and should be prevented. In this scenario, the differential influence on weight gain using distinct antiretroviral agents might provide an opportunity for personalized medicine, adapting the most convenient drug regimen to each patient.
