GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
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.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

South Nassau’s Center for Breast Health Earns
National Accreditation
Oceanside, N.Y. — The American College of Surgeons National Accreditation Program for
Breast Centers (NAPBC) has granted a full, three-year accreditation to the Center for Breast Health at
South Nassau Communities Hospital’s Gertrude & Louis Feil Cancer Center.
The center earned the accreditation following a rigorous on-site evaluation to demonstrate that it
is in complete compliance with standards established by the NAPBC for treating women who are
diagnosed with breast disease. The standards include proficiency in the areas of center leadership, clinical
management, research, community outreach, professional education and quality improvement.
“The prestigious accreditation is a direct result of the center’s team of dedicated, compassionate,
expert physicians, nurses, allied staff and administrators and the leadership of Dr. Christine Hodyl (South
Nassau’s director of breast health services),” said Rajiv Datta, MD, medical director of the Gertrude &
Louis Feil Cancer Center. “NAPBC accreditation confirms our commitment to provide our patients
every significant advantage in their battle against breast disease.”
NAPBC accreditation affirms that a patient will have access to:
• Comprehensive care, including a full range of state-of-the-art services;
• A multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best treatment options;
• Information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options;
• And, most importantly, quality breast care that is close to home.
The NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the
quality of care and monitoring of outcomes of patients with diseases of the breast. This mission is
pursued through standard-setting, scientific validation, and patient and professional education. Its board

care.
South Nassau’s Center for Breast Health offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary breast care
program, with a full spectrum of clinical and support services, from screening and diagnosis to treatment
and counseling. Early detection is the focus of South Nassau’s Complete Women’s Imaging (CWI), PC,
which is a designated Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. Led
by George Autz, MD, medical director and director of breast MRI services, and Abraham Port, MD,
medical director and director of breast imaging, CWI uses an array of state-of-the-art diagnostic
technologies, including digital mammography, high resolution ultrasound and MRI of the breast, to detect
breast disease in its earliest stage. Minimally invasive procedures can detect breast cancer long before it
becomes a serious threat to your health and wellness.
If a tumor or abnormality is detected, the center offers the most advanced treatments for breast
cancer and breast health complications and uses targeted surgical techniques that aim to preserve as much
of the healthy breast and surrounding areas as possible. This includes Contura™ multi-channel and
Mammosite® single channel balloon brachytherapy techniques, which utilize a balloon catheter to deliver
highly localized radiation to the lumpectomy bed; breast-conserving surgery (commonly known as
lumpectomy), in which only the tumor or abnormality is removed from the breast; or mastectomy, an
operation in which the whole breast is removed. For invasive breast cancer, these procedures may be
accompanied by a sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection if needed.
Oncoplastic surgical techniques are also offered. Oncoplasty combines surgical cancer removal
with plastic surgery techniques to produce a superior cosmetic end result. Recommendations for whole-
body or "systemic" treatments, such as hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a
combination of two of the three therapies, may follow either surgical approach. If early-stage breast
cancer is present, sentinel lymph node biopsy is used as an alternative to traditional lymph node
dissection.
Treating approximately 1,500 patients annually, South Nassau’s Gertrude & Louis Feil Cancer
Center has evolved into one of the Northeast corridor’s premiere providers of compassionate advanced
cancer care. The center is the only one on Long Island that is equipped with three of the most advanced
and effective technologies used to treat and eradicate cancer: the Varian Novalis Tx™, da Vinci®
Surgical System and Gamma Knife® Perfexion.
In addition to its Center for Breast Health, South Nassau’s Gertrude & Louis Feil Cancer Center
incorporates the following specialty cancer care services:
• GYN Oncology Department (Valley Stream)
• Long Island Gamma Knife® Center (Oceanside)
• Center for Prostate Health Program (Oceanside)
• Center for Lung Health (Oceanside/Valley Stream)
3. • Radiation Oncology Department (Oceanside and Valley Stream)
• Surgical Oncology Department (Oceanside and Valley Stream)
• Complete Women’s Imaging Center at South Nassau (Oceanside)
• PET/CT Service (Oceanside)
South Nassau Communities Hospital is one of the region’s largest hospitals, with 435 beds, more
than 900 physicians and 3,000 employees. Located in Oceanside, NY, the hospital is an acute-care, not-
for-profit teaching hospital that provides state-of-the-art care in cardiac, oncologic, orthopedic, bariatric,
pain management, mental health and emergency services. In addition to its extensive outpatient specialty
centers, South Nassau provides emergency and elective angioplasty and is the only hospital on Long
Island with the Novalis Tx™ and Gamma Knife® Perfexion radiosurgery technologies. South Nassau is
a designated Stroke Center by the New York State Department of Health and Comprehensive
Community Cancer Center by the American College of Surgeons and is recognized as a Bariatric Surgery
Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. For more
