Abstract Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (panNETs) are a group of neoplasms with heterogenous biological and clinical phenotypes.

The heterogeneity of these lesions creates significant challenges regarding diagnosis, staging, and tre...
Abstract Introduction: Gastric metastases are quite infrequent. When arising from testicular germ cell tumors, gastric metastases are usually associated with nonseminomas. Case Report: A 45-year-old man presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, severe anemia, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase. Endoscopy revealed three atypical-looking gastric ulcers. Abdominal computed tomography showed an extensive hete...
Abstract Introduction: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the treatment of choice for non-invasive colorectal flat lesions. When endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) is performed, endoscopic surveillance is necessary due to the risk of recurrence. The Sydney EMR Recurrence Tool (SERT) is a 0-4 scale that classifies lesions according to size, occurrence of intraprocedural bleeding (IPB) and presence ...

A high sodium intake is associated with high blood pressure, an important risk factor for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). In contrast, the ingestion of high levels of potassium counteracts this negative effect of high sodium intake on blood pressure, thus reducing the sodium-to-potassium ratio. The aim of this work was to determine the sodium and potassium content of meals served in university canteens in Port...
