    Abstract Resumen: La bisalbuminemia es una anomalía congénita o adquirida rara de las proteínas séricas, caracterizada por la presencia en un mismo individuo de dos tipos de proteínas con patrones bicúspides en el gráfico electroforético. Describimos el caso de una mujer de 70 años autónoma. Sin antecedentes personales conocidos y sin medicación ambulatoria. Ingresado para estudio de anemia microcítica e hipocrómica sintomática (Hb 7,7g/dL). El estudio electroforético de proteínas reveló bisalbuminemia. La colonoscopia total reveló una lesión ulcerada, vegetante, estenosante en el colon ascendente, cuyo resultado de biopsia fue compatible con adenocarcinoma de colon. La bisalbuminemia hereditaria generalmente no tiene importancia patológica, a diferencia de la adquirida, que puede estar asociada con la exposición a las altas dosis de antibióticos betalactámicos. Rotura del quiste pancreático y mieloma múltiple. La fisiopatología de la bisalbuminemia asociada con el adenocarcinoma de colon permanece sin explicación

    Abstract The use of propylthiouracil (PTU) is associated with the development of autoantibodies, namely, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs), which are associated with the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis, most often related to the myeloperoxidase subtype (ANCA-MPO). The authors report the case of a 61-year-old woman on PTU for one year who was referred to Internal Medicine for a three-month evolution of painless non-blanching purple patches, non-pruriginous, involving the chest and legs. The autoimmunity revealed ANCA antibody positivity, with a cutaneous biopsy compatible with leukocytoclastic vasculitis/necrotizing vasculitis with involvement of small and medium-sized vessels. Clinical improvement was noted after the drug was discontinued, with the resolution of the analytical changes.

    Abstract Current scientific evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events. In patients with ischaemic heart disease and heart failure, thrombi of the left ventricle can increase patient mortality, mainly due to the risk of systemic embolization. Given the hypercoagulable state associated with COVID-19, such events may be more likely. We describe a patient hospitalized for congestive heart failure and SARS-CoV-2 infection who was diagnosed with a thrombus in the left ventricle. After the thrombus was identified on echocardiography and treated with anticoagulation, it completely resolved and cardiac function improved.
    Learning points: SARS-CoV-2 infection has been frequently associated with thromboembolic phenomena and intracardiac thrombi.Echocardiographic evaluation in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection is important, especially in cases with known or new-onset cardiac pathology which predisposes to thromboembolic phenomena.The timely diagnosis and treatment of intracardiac thrombi can prevent complications and improve patient prognosis.

    Abstract Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare condition characterized by eosinophilia associated with organ damage, most commonly affecting the skin, lung, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and central nervous system. The idiopathic form is characterized by the absence of other conditions associated with hypereosinophilia such as allergies, infectious, hematological, immunological, endocrine or neoplasm diseases. The authors present a clinical case of a 70-year-old man with no relevant history, who went to the emergency department for neurological deficits and nonspecific chest pain. Laboratory tests revealed marked eosinophilia, elevation of cardiac enzymes with normal electrocardiogram. Computed tomography of the head showed multiple bilateral ischemic lesions. Upon further investigation for the cerebrovascular disease, transesophageal echocardiogram showed a thrombus at the aortic arch, as a probable embolic source. Despite anticoagulant therapy and corticosteroids, the patient's status deteriorated, with multiple successive ischemic strokes and worsening neurological deficits. After a thorough investigation, the diagnosis of idiopathic eosinophilia was established.

    Abstract Artery of Percheron occlusion is a rare cause of ischaemic stroke characterized by bilateral thalamus infarction. Presentation is varied and non-specific, with the most frequent manifestations being altered level of consciousness, hypersomnolence or altered oculomotor movements. We describe the case of a 37-year-old man hospitalized for hypersomnia and hypomnesia with 3 days of evolution, who was diagnosed with a bilateral thalamus stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion.
    Learning points: Stroke is frequently encountered but can present a diagnostic challenge when presentation is non-specific or a lesion is not identified.Artery of Percheron stenosis has a varied and often non-specific presentation, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment of these patients.It is important that doctors recognize this entity for timely diagnosis and treatment, and for the best prognosis.

    Abstract This study investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of gastroenteric viruses in mussels and oysters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. One hundred and thirty-four marketed bivalve samples were obtained between January and December 2022. The viral analysis was performed according to ISO/TS 15216, and the screening revealed the detection of norovirus GII/GI (40.3%), sapovirus (SaV; 12.7%), human mastadenovirus (7.5%), and rotavirus A (RVA; 5.9%). In total, 44.8% (60) of shellfish samples tested positive for one or more viruses, 46.7% (28/60) of the positive samples tested positive for a single viral agent, 26.7% (16) tested positive for two viral agents, 8.3% (5) for three viral agents, and 13.3% (8) for four viral agents. Additionally, three mussel samples were contaminated with the five investigated viruses (5%, 3/60). Norovirus GII showed the highest mean viral load (3.4 × 10

    Abstract Objective: To determine the frequency of drug therapy problems among older adults in Primary Health Care, and to analyze the factors associated with their identification in the initial patient assessment, carried out by pharmacists offering medication therapy management services.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted with data from 758 older adults followed up in medication therapy management services in Primary Health Care in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Betim, and Lagoa Santa (MG, Brazil). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the factors associated with identification of four or more drug therapy problems in the initial clinical assessment.
    Results: A total of 1,683 drug therapy problems were identified, 73.6% of older patients had at least one problem. The most frequent problems were nonadherence (23.0%) and the need for additional drug therapy (18.0%). Polypharmacy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and aged 75 years or older remained positively and statistically associated with identification of four or more drug therapy problems (p<0.05).
    Conclusion: There is a high frequency of problems related to medication use among older users of Primary Health Care, and the medication therapy management services should be prioritized to the older patients, who present with polypharmacy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and age ≥ 75 years, since they are more likely to have more drug therapy problems.
