Management of metastatic spinal disease in low- and middle-income countries: an international survey of practices and challenges in Latin America

Spinal metastases impose urgent diagnostic and therapeutic demands; however, evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Latin America is sparse. We aimed to characterize real-world practices, access gaps, and priorities to in-form context-adapted guidelines. We con...

CT Attenuation Thresholds for Grading Hepatic Steatosis in Adults with Overweight or Obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Background/Objectives: To derive computed tomography (CT) attenuation thresholds for grading hepatic steatosis and evaluate their agreement with ultrasonography (US) in adults with overweight or obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) from sou...

Oncoplastic Reconstruction of the Anterior Chest Wall Using a Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap: A Case Report

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon cutaneous fibroblastic neoplasm characterized by infiltrative growth, low metastatic potential, and a high risk of local recurrence following incomplete excision. Large or recurrent tumors of the anterior chest wal...

Single-stage hybrid management of severe carotid stenosis and unruptured intracranial aneurysms using direct transcarotid access: Illustrative case

Background: The coexistence of symptomatic extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) and unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) is an uncommon but clinically challenging condition for which there is no standardized treatment strategy. The optimal treatment sequence r...

Trop-2 overexpression as a prognostic marker in early triple-negative breast cancer: results from the GEICAM_CIBOMA trial

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a key therapeutic target in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its prognostic significance in early-stage disease remains poorly defined. We evaluated Trop-2 expression and its clinical impact within a sub-cohort of...

Mexico’s First Heart Transplant in a Patient with Becker Muscular Dystrophy Reveals an Overlooked Cause of Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Background: Pathogenic variants in the DMD gene are a frequently overlooked cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in idiopathic cases, especially when skeletal myopathy is mild or seemingly absent. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy are at opposit...
