Background: The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in less aggressive breast cancer (BC) is controversial.
Objective: To investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2 negative luminal B breast cancer.
Patients and methods: Patients between January 2016 and December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated.
Results: A total of 128 patients were included in the study. Patients with pathological complete response (pCR) were younger and had higher ki67 levels. Cutoff levels for ki67 based on pCR and ypT status were ≤ 40% and ≤ 35%, respectively. According to pre-NAC magnetic resonance imaging findings, only mastectomy was viable in 90 patients, but after NAC breast-conserving surgery (BCS) was possible in 29 (32%). Moreover, 68.5% became eligible for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after NAC. Since SLNB was positive in 45 (54.2%), axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) was performed and the remainder, 38 (31.4%), avoided ALND.
Conclusion: In patients with Luminal B, HER2(-) BC a low pCR rate should not discourage the use of NAC. The ki67 level is a guide for individualizing treatment. Especially in young patients with high ki67 levels, NAC increases the chance of breast-conserving surgery and may spare patients from ALND.

Objective: To describe clinical, microbiological and echocardiographic aspects of endocarditis in a specific group of patients without intracardiac devices or underlying structural heart disease.
Method: Retrospective study, clinical records and echocardiographic reports were reviewed during the period 1997 to 2020. Duke's modified criteria were applied. Statistical analysis: univariate expressed in frequencies, using measures of dispersion and central tendency.
Results: 30,000 echocardiographic reports were reviewed, only 1350 had infectious endocarditis as a reason for sending, of which 248 cases were selected. The mean age was 48.1 ± 16.7 years. 140 men (56%) and 108 women (44%). The most frequent echocardiographic sign was vegetation, in 278 (93.60%), and most common location was mitral (35.55%), with a higher number of cases in the right ventricle than expected. The most common systemic disease was kidney disease, in 135 (41.08%). A case of Streptococcus thoraltensis not previously reported in Mexico was identified.
Conclusions: The presence of infectious endocarditis has increased due to invasive in-hospital and drug procedures. Due to their complexity, multidisciplinary teams are indispensable.

A polytraumatized patient is defined as one who has multiple lesions involving different organs and systems, which are usually serious and lead to life-threatening respiratory or circulatory dysfunction. Traumatic stress in the polytraumatized patient results in many metabolic changes that are evident from the first days, but usually persist for weeks, requiring adequate nutritional support as they influence outcomes. Nutritional treatment should be a priority in the comprehensive treatment of polytraumatized patients since it attenuates the metabolic response to trauma and prevents the deterioration of body reserves. It should be noted that some patients present previous nutritional risk. Nutritional intervention should be considered at the same level as any other therapy that supports organic functions, especially in patients in the intensive care unit. Nutritional intervention in polytraumatized patients is a pillar of treatment that has multiple benefits and can improve prognosis. All efforts must be aimed at the early detection of malnourished patients at nutritional risk and providing timely therapies that improve clinical outcomes.

Background: The aim of the study was to explore the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) and fenestration discectomy (FD) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
Material and methods: The complete clinical data from 87 patients with LDH from our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a control group (n = 39, treated with FD) and a research group (n = 48, treated with PTED) according to the prescribed treatments. The basic operation conditions were compared across the two groups. Surgical outcomes were assessed. The incidences of complications and the life quality of patients were evaluated 1 year after surgery.
Results: The patients in both groups completed the operation. The visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index score of patients in the research group was significantly lower while the Orthopaedic Association Score was significantly higher after surgery. The success rate of the operation in the research group which was significantly higher and the rate of complications was significantly lower. No statistical differences in the quality of life were observed between the patients (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: PTED and FD are effective in the treatment of LDH. However, our study showed that PTED has a higher rate of treatment success, faster recovery times and is safer than FD.

Objective: To demonstrate the experience since the transplant program under paired kidney donation implementation; program that increases the donation rate by 25-30% in hospitals with no inferior graft survival compared to directed living donor kidney transplantation.
Method: Observational, analytical, longitudinal and prospective study from December 2018 to July 2021. All G5 KDIGO chronic kidney patients who were HLA or ABO incompatible with their original donors in the pretransplant protocol and who were transplanted under the paired kidney donation program, were included.
Results: 22 kidney transplants were performed under this program. Survival of the graft and the patient 1 year after transplantation was 100%. The post-transplant glomerular filtration rate was 72.5 ± 17 ml/min/1.73 m2 body surface. 36.3% of hypersensitized patients were successfully transplanted. The in-hospital donation rate increased by 33.33%.
Conclusions: Transplantation under the kidney paired donation program constitutes a real modality of successful transplantation when there is incompatibility with the original donor. The greater use and socialization of this program can increase the country kidney transplantation rate, reducing the waiting list. Our hospital represents the largest experience published in Mexico with this transplant program.

Tracheal perforation is a rare complication of thyroid surgery. A 36-year-old man with previous neck radiotherapy due to a nasopharyngeal cancer. After right hemithyoidectomy and isthmusectomy, the patient presented a tracheal perforation. The diagnosis was confirmed with computed tomography and bronchoscopy. A conservative management was performed with drainage and antibiotic therapy, and the evolution was satisfactory. If recognized at the time of the surgery, perforations should be closed primarily. Delayed perforations will be treated with an emergency surgery or conservatively depending on the clinical situation of the patient.

Objective: The present study aims to investigate the relationship between bile reflux (BR) and diameter of the common bile duct (CBD) in patients after cholecystectomy.
Materials and methods: In our case series analysis, according to the endoscopy results, the patients who underwent cholecystectomy were divided into two groups as those with BR and those non-BR. Age, sex, CBD diameter measured on ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic biopsy results of the patients were statistically analyzed.
Results: In a total of 188 patients included in the study, BR was detected in 93 patients, it was not observed in 95 patients. The CBD diameter of the patients was observed to be 7 mm or less in 70.9% (n = 66) in the BR group, and 23% (n = 22) in the non-BR group. The statistical analysis revealed that while there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of CBD diameter and intestinal metaplasia, the results were similar in both groups in terms of inflammation, activity, atrophy, and Helicobacter pylori.
Conclusion: We believe that CBD diameter may be a predictive factor in the detection of BR after cholecystectomy.

Background: Management of breast cancer is increased by late diagnoses.
Objective: To analyse direct costs of breast cancer in early and advanced stage in a third level medical facility at Mexican Social Security Institute.
Method: Observational study, direct costs of care in breast cancer in initial and advanced clinical stages are compared. Variables analysed were laboratory and diagnostic imaging studies, drugs, as well as hospitalization costs. The evaluated period included from the first care to the completion of the treatment. Costs were determined according to the table of Unit Costs by Level of Medical Care for the year 2019 of the Mexican Social Security Institute. Student's t test was used to determinate differences between groups, as well as descriptive statistics.
Results: The advanced stage compared to the initial stage, causes a greater number of laboratory-cabinet studies, surgeries, day/bed and interconsultations. The average cost of breast cancer care per patient is $99,280.36 (US$5,230.78) and $148,023.60 (US$7,789.92) for the initial and advanced stages, respectively (p = 0.024).
Conclusions: Cost of medical attention in the initial stage is lower than that of the advanced stage.

Objective: To bring up which was the surgical resident's perception about their learning experience during COVID-19 pandemic and if it interfered or not with their classes.
Method: Cross-sectional observational study through an anonymous survey conducted among surgical residents. The Mexican Association of General Surgery, through its Women in Surgery Committee, created a questionnaire that included 40 questions.
Results: 465 participants were included in the survey: 225 women (48.3%), 240 men (51.7%); of 32 entities, only 26 participated. A great part of them said their skills and abilities were affected because elective surgeries were called off. While 303 residents stayed at hybrid hospitals, while a third of them were at 100% Covid facilities. Residents who were on call worked at COVID-19 units. They continued attending class through online platforms and only 134 were able to practice their skills using simulators. 71% of the residents were infected with COVID-19, all were tested to confirm it, and the number of asymptomatic cases was unknown.
Conclusions: COVID-19 pandemic has affected the learning process of surgical residents in Mexico.
