In the USA, the rate of incarceration has steadily increased from 1980 to 2010, a period called mass incarceration. Incarcerated individuals are now leaving the jail system in large numbers, the majority of whom are returning to low-income and Black and Hispanic-Latino communities. Although highly preventable, colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant risk for minority and underserved men over the age of 50. Black men have the highest CRC incidence and mortality rates, which can be prevented and treated effectively when detected early, especially via colonoscopy. Hispanic-Latino men have the third highest CRC incidence rates and the fourth highest mortality rates. This qualitative study seeks to examine how the experience of incarceration and reintegration affects the awareness of CRC screening practices, the attitudes towards these services, the availability of services, and the frequency of CRC screening among the recently released Black and Hispanic-Latino men over the age of 50 in New York City.
Reporte de un caso de infección por COVID 19, en un paciente que se presenta con síntomas gastrointestinales y respiratorios altos y bajos, terminando en falla respiratoria y necesidad de ventilación mecánica invasiva, presentando mejoría de su cuadro respiratorio y gastrointestinal, pero con limitaciones para la extubación por alteración del estado de conciencia a pesar del destete de sedo analgesia por más de 72 horas, en quien se encontró niveles elevados de amonio sin signos de falla hepática. La diarrea y el compromiso hepático son manifestaciones frecuentes en pacientes con COVID 19, que pueden llevar posiblemente a una disminución de los niveles de carnitina e hiperamonemia secundaria, convirtiéndose en un verdadero desafío para los clínicos.
