    Abstract A previously healthy 62-year-old female was referred to our hospital for epigastric discomfort in the previous month. Routine laboratory tests showed lipase and pancreatic isoamylase elevation. CT scan revealed an homogeneous mass arising from the pancreatic head-uncinate process in addition to multiple bilateral hypoattenuating lesions in the renal cortex and pulmonary nodules. US-guided biopsy of one of the kidney lesions was performed under the suspicion of pancreatic metastatic disease.

    Abstract In their 2006 seminal paper in Distributed Computing, Angluin et al. present a construction that, given any Presburger predicate as input, outputs a leaderless population protocol that decides the predicate. The protocol for a predicate of size $m$ (when expressed as a Boolean combination of threshold and remainder predicates with coefficients in binary) runs in $\mathcal{O}(m \cdot n^2 \log n)$ expected number of interactions, which is almost optimal in $n$. However, the number of states of the protocol is exponential in $m$. Blondin et al. described in STACS 2020 another construction that produces protocols with a polynomial number of states, but exponential expected number of interactions. We present a construction that produces protocols with $\mathcal{O}(m)$ states that run in expected $\mathcal{O}(m^{7} \cdot n^2)$ interactions, optimal in $n$, for all inputs of size $\Omega(m)$. For this we introduce population computers, a carefully crafted generalization of population protocols easier to program, and show that our computers for Presburger predicates can be translated into fast and succinct population protocols.

    Title translation Comparing the usefulness of two mortality registries for data-linkage for prospective cohorts in Mexico.
    Abstract Objective: To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of two Mexican death registries for the identification of vital status using a publicly available record-linkage tool.
    Materials and methods: We selected all reported deaths (n=581) and 575 alive participants in an epidemiologic cohort with active follow-up. Individual records were cross-linked to two mortal-ity registries.
    Results: A sensitivity of 87.2% (95%CI: 84.7, 90.2) and specificity of 99.3% (95%CI: 98.2, 99.8) were jointly achieved with both registries. Major discrepancies in cause of death were observed in 10.8% of deaths.
    Conclusion: There is initial evidence that Mexican death registries are a valuable resource for mortality follow-up in epidemiologic studies.

    Abstract Hypouricemia is defined when a serum urate concentration is less than or equal 2.0mg/dl. Differential diagnosis is made by fractional uric acid excretion with the identification of urate transporters and intracellular proteins involved in the tubular transport of uric acid. This review examines current knowledge on uric acid tubular transport and the various clinical situations of hypouricemia.

    Abstract Introduction: Lupus nephritis (LN) affects up to 60 % of the patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and renal damage progression is associated with proteinuria, caused in part by the integrity of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and by podocyte injury. The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) have been related to podocyte effacement and consequently with proteinuria which raises questions about its pathogenic role in LN.
    Objective: Define whether suPAR levels and WT1 expression influence in podocyte anchorage destabilization in LN class IV.
    Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study of cases and controls. We studied patients with SLE without renal involvement (n = 12), SLE and LN class IV with proteinuria ≤0.5 g/24 h (n = 12), LN class IV with proteinuria ≥0.5 g/24 h (n = 12) and compared them with renal tissue control (CR) (n = 12) and control sera (CS) (n = 12). The CR was integrated by cadaveric samples without SLE or renal involvement and the CS was integrated by healthy participants. The expression and cellular localization of WT1, urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), ac-α-tubulin, vimentin, and β3-integrin was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The concentration of suPAR in serum was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
    Results: In patients with LN, the activation of anchoring proteins was increased, such as podocyte β3-integrin, as well as the acetylation of alpha-acetyl-tubulin and uPAR, in contrast to the decrease in vimentin; interestingly, the cellular localization of WT1 was cytoplasmic and the number of podocytes per glomerulus decreased. The concentrations of suPAR was increased in patients with LN.
    Conclusion: The destabilization of podocyte anchorage modulated by β3-integrin activation, and tubulin acetylation, associated with decreased WT1 cytoplasmic expression, and increased suPAR levels could be involved in kidney damage in patients with LN class IV.

    Abstract Objective: To propose a standardized protocol for peritoneal free fluid and leukocyte sample collection in women with endometriosis suitable for biomedical research on the basis of the surgical procedure, the clinical and technical conditions, and the quality of the samples obtained.
    Design: Video showing the step-by-step collection procedure and the suitability of samples obtained for biomedical research.
    Subjects: This study included 103 women with confirmed endometriosis by pathology analysis, who signed informed consent and were recruited from the Hospital "Virgen de la Arrixaca", Murcia, Spain. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of University of Murcia (CEI 3156/2020).
    Main outcome measures: We analyzed the presence of free fluid in the peritoneal cavity and its relationship with hormonal treatment intake. In addition, the presence of blood contamination, the number of viable leukocytes and macrophages in free peritoneal fluid and lavages as well as their relationship with the lavage volume used, the body mass index, and the age of patients were analyzed.
    Results: The presence of free peritoneal fluid, in which cells and molecules could be quantified, was scarce in the patients (21%), and it was not significantly related to hormonal treatment intake. The cell viability was higher than 98% in all collected samples; although 54% showed good quality and enough cellularity to be used in biomedical research, 40% were contaminated with blood and 6% had low cellularity. The number of leukocytes and macrophages recovered from the peritoneal lavages correlated positively with the lavage volume used and negatively with the body mass index and was independent of the age of the patients.
    Conclusion: We describe a standardized step-by-step procedure for peritoneal fluid and leukocyte collection in women with endometriosis, suitable for biomedical research, taking into account that not all women present free fluid in the peritoneal cavity. We propose to increase the lavage volume recommended by the World Endometriosis Research Foundation from 10 mL to at least 40 mL of sterile saline solution and its mobilization for at least 30 seconds within the peritoneal cavity, especially in patients with higher body mass index, to improve the efficiency of the procedure.

    Abstract CRISPR-Cas systems employ ribonucleoprotein complexes to identify nucleic acid targets with complementarity to bound CRISPR RNAs. Analyses of the high diversification of these effector complexes suggest that they can exhibit a wide spectrum of target requirements and binding affinities. Therefore, streamlined analysis techniques to study the interactions between nucleic acids and proteins are necessary to facilitate the characterization and comparison of CRISPR-Cas effector activities. Bio-layer Interferometry (BLI) is a technique that measures the interference pattern of white light that is reflected from a layer of biomolecules immobilized on the surface of a sensor tip (bio-layers) in real time and in solution. As streptavidin-coated sensors and biotinylated oligonucleotides are commercially available, this method enables straightforward measurements of the interaction of CRISPR-Cas complexes with different targets in a qualitative and quantitative fashion. Here, we present a general method to carry out binding assays with the Type I-Fv complex from
