Growth rates and histopathological outcomes of small (6-9 mm) colorectal polyps based on CT colonography surveillance and endoscopic removal
Conclusion
Small 6–9 mm polyps present overall low risk to patients, with polyp growth strongly associated with higher risk lesions. Most patients (75%) with small 6–9 mm polyps will see polyp stability or regression, with advanced histology seen in only 7%. The minority of patients (25%) with small polyps that do grow have a 3-fold increased risk of advanced histology. (Source: Gut)

Meckel's Diverticulum Causing Small Bowel Intussusception in Third Trimester Pregnancy, a Case Report
J Educ Teach Emerg Med. 2020 Jan 15;5(1):V4-V7. doi: 10.21980/J87H19. eCollection 2020 Jan.ABSTRACTIntestinal obstruction complicating pregnancy is a surgical emergency associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality for both the mother and fetus. This case report discusses the presentation and treatment of a young female in her third trimester of pregnancy at a repeat visit to the emergency department (ED) with right-sided abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with ileal intussusception secondary to a Meckel's diverticulum with associated small bowel obstruction (SBO) seen on computerized tomography (CT) imaging. ...

Characterization of Latin American migrants at risk for < i > Trypanosoma cruzi < /i > infection in a non-endemic setting. Insights into initial evaluation of cardiac and digestive involvement
ConclusionsWe still observe many Latin American individuals who were at risk ofT.cruzi infection in highly endemic areas in their countries of origin, and who have not been previously tested forT.cruzi infection. In fact, even in Spain, a country with one of the highest proportion of diagnosis of Latin American populations,T.cruzi infection remains underdiagnosed. The screening of Latin American populations presenting with a similar profile as reported here should be promoted. ECG is considered necessary to assess Chagasic cardiomyopathy in positive individuals, but echocardiograms should also be considered as a diagnostic...
