Although these mosquitoes commonly inhabit tropical and subtropical areas at low altitudes, recent studies found them up to 2,500 meters above sea levels (masl).Objective: To identify the presence of the Ae. aegypti mosquito in urban areas with altitudes around 2,900 masl in Sucre, Bolivia.Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted, capturing mosquito larvae between March 30 and April 20, 2022, during the peak period of rainfall. Ovitraps were placed at 12 points in the urban area (Districts 1, 2, and 4) in Sucre, Bolivia, as part of the regular activities of the public health system's surveillance system. Morphological and taxonomic analysis was performed at a National Laboratory to confirm genus and species.Results: The presence of mosquito larvae was confirmed at 3 of the 12 sampling points at more than 2,900 m.a.s.l. in an urban area with high migratory flow. The entomological index values were: House index, 13.64; Breteau index, 27.27; Index of dry containers, 43.55; and Index of containers with water, 56.45.Conclusion: The presence of immature forms of mosquitoes increases the risk for autochthonous cases of Dengue Disease in the short term. Prevention and control strategies must be intensified, particularly in endemic areas, along with enhanced surveillance and early warning systems, to reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue.","PeriodicalId":38814,"journal":{"name":"Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas de Cordoba","volume":"82 4","pages":"772-788"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12863383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145811683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with oncological risk factors and a history of prolonged exposure to oils were selected.Results: The cases included four women and one man, with an average age of 78 years. Two patients had a history of cancer, and all were former smokers, although four of them had chronic exposure to oils. The CT scans revealed different patterns: consolidations, nodules, a mass and, in one case, cavitations with calcifications. Three patients underwent PET-CT, showing increased radiopharmaceutical uptake. Biopsies confirmed the presence of cells with intracytoplasmic vacuoles.Conclusions: Given that lipoid pneumonia can mimic primary or secondary tumors, it should be considered in patients with persistent pulmonary opacities, especially in older adults. The identification of lesions with fat attenuation and the review of history of exposure to lipids can improve diagnostic accuracy, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.","PeriodicalId":38814,"journal":{"name":"Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas de Cordoba","volume":"82 4","pages":"724-735"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12863388/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145811435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although typically associated with women of reproductive age, its occurrence in postmenopause has been documented, even decades after gynecologic surgery. This academic commentary examines a recently reported case in a postmenopausal patient, contextualized within the framework of available scientific evidence. Key clinical, radiologic, and histopathological aspects are discussed, emphasizing the variability of CT findings and the relevance of correlating gynecologic history with immunohistochemical analysis. Therapeutic approaches such as surgical resection, hormonal suppression, and active surveillance are reviewed in light of individual clinical progression. The importance of long-term monitoring is highlighted due to the risk of recurrence. This contribution underscores the relevance of rare cases as valuable sources of clinical insight, aiming to support diagnostic reasoning and enhance informed decision-making in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":38814,"journal":{"name":"Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas de Cordoba","volume":"82 4","pages":"902-909"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12863380/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145811130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
