Anorexia nervosa is a disorder characterized by a lack of desire to eat that originates from the Greek word meaning lack of appetite. It often develops in teenage girls between ages 13 to 18 and can be influenced by genetic and psychological factors. Treatment is needed, as 30-40% of patients never fully recover and 18-20% of anorexics may die within 20 years if not properly treated.

Autism
Autism is a spectrum of complex neurodevelopmental disorders that cause problems in brain development. The causes are unknown but likely involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism. Symptoms include difficulties with social skills, communication, and repetitive behaviors. There is no cure for autism, but treatment aims to help individuals cope and learn skills through structured education, therapy, and sometimes medication. Doctors evaluate individuals to diagnose autism and develop a customized treatment plan.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. It occurs in three main forms: Trisomy 21 (95% of cases), where there are three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the typical two; mosaicism (1% of cases), where some but not all cells have an extra chromosome 21; and translocation (4% of cases), where part of chromosome 21 breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. The extra genetic material from chromosome 21 causes issues with brain and body development that result in both physical and mental symptoms that can range from mild to severe. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms through education, therapy, and surgery if needed to address health issues.

Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, either fully or partially. It causes developmental delays and cognitive impairment. The majority (95%) of Down syndrome cases are caused by trisomy 21, where there are three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two. Risk increases with the age of the mother. Screening tests during pregnancy can identify 87% of cases, and diagnostic tests like amniocentesis or CVS can confirm the diagnosis. Common physical traits include a flattened face and small stature. Individuals with Down syndrome also have an increased risk of health issues like congenital heart defects, leukemia, and early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

This document discusses Down syndrome, including its causes, characteristics, and effects. Down syndrome occurs in about 1 in 800-1,100 births and results from a chromosomal abnormality involving an extra copy of chromosome 21. It can cause intellectual disabilities and developmental delays, as well as health issues such as heart defects, vision and hearing problems, and infections. The document outlines some of the facial features and oral issues associated with Down syndrome and how they can affect speech. While there is no cure for Down syndrome, many signs and symptoms can be improved with medical care and therapy.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Ageing, the Elderly, Gerontology and Public Health

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

- 2. Introduction to Anorexia The word anorexia originates from the Greek word orexis, meaning a lack of desire to eat Bulimia Nervosa is a related condition to Anorexia Nervosa
- 3. Genetic Factors 50% of girls between the ages of 13 to 15 believe they’re overweight. 40% of 9 year olds have dieted 85% of patients develop this disorder between the ages of 13 and 18
- 5. Treatment 30 to 40% of patients never fully recover. 18 to 20% of anorexics will be dead after 20 years
