Childhood obesity is a pandemic with significant morbidity and mortality implications, impacting both quality of life and the economic burden on healthcare systems. Given the effects on health for the pediatric population, and aligned with the multidisciplinary management approach, the Obesity Working Group of the Latin American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (LASPGHAN) summoned a group of healthcare professionals to develop a consensus on overweight and obesity. The aim of this document is to present those consensus results.
Material and methods
The LASPGHAN Obesity Working Group organized 6 working panels to formulate statements on diagnostic approach, treatment, and follow-up. We conducted a comprehensive review of the current literature across several databases utilizing different search criteria. Thirty-four panelists from the countries that make up the LASPGHAN were selected. They participated in an anonymous online voting process using the Delphi method. A priori consensus for each statement was defined as 80% agreement on a 3-point Likert scale.
Results
Twenty-six statements were discussed and voted upon, resulting in the final approval of 22 statements.
Conclusions
There is a lack of uniformity in diagnosing overweight and obesity in Latin America, especially in the choice of growth charts and cutoff points for the pediatric population.

Introduction and aims
There are differences, with genetic and embryologic support, in the clinical behavior of proximal colon cancer (PCC) (right colon: cecum, ascending colon, and transverse colon) and distal colon cancer (DCC) (left colon: descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum). Our aim was to determine whether there was a divergent pattern in the demographic characteristics, risk factors, TNM stage, and clinical stage at diagnosis between patients with PCC and those with DCC.
Material and methods
A retrospective, analytic, and multicenter study was conducted. Medical records of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, confirmed by histopathology and with TNM staging, within the time frame of 2018-2023, were collected from two hospital centers in the city of Chihuahua. They were divided into the PCC and DCC groups, for evaluating the abovementioned characteristics.
Results
From a total of 513 cases, 404 were included in the study. Significant differences were found in the demographic characteristics of female sex and a history of cholecystectomy, both with a greater relative frequency for PCC. Distant metastasis was present in 35.6% of patients, despite their younger age at diagnosis. The rectum was the most commonly affected segment in the DCC group, as was the ascending colon in the PCC group. There was a greater prevalence of peritoneal carcinomatosis in the PCC group. In contrast, the DCC group had a greater prevalence of distant metastasis to other organs, as both individual metastasis (M1a) and multiple site metastasis (M1b). There were no considerable differences in the KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF gene mutations between the two groups.
Conclusions
PCC was associated with a history of cholecystectomy and female sex and had more aggressive TNM staging, compared with DCC.

Cirrhosis of the liver is a major cause of death worldwide, with a recent increase in cases secondary to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and alcohol use. Liver transplantation is currently the only definitive treatment but requires immunosuppression for preventing graft rejection.
Calcineurin inhibitors are the cornerstone of immunosuppression in transplanted patients. However, their use conditions metabolic and renal complications, such as metabolic syndrome, post-transplant diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Minimizing or discontinuing immunosuppression has been shown to reduce those adverse effects in selected patients, especially those with potential immunotolerance. Predictors of immunotolerance and cardiovascular complications in transplanted patients have been identified in recent studies. Thus, there is a need for developing individualized strategies for balancing metabolic risk and graft rejection prevention.
