Pancreatic cancer (PCa) is associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. The causes of PCa are not fully elucidated yet, although certain exposome factors have been identified. The exposome is defined as the sum of all environmental factors influencing the occurrence of a disease during a life span. The development of an exposome approach for PCa has the potential to discover new disease-associated factors to better understand the carcinogenesis of PCa and help with early detection strategies. Our systematic review of the literature identified several exposome factors that have been associated with PCa alone and in combination with other exposures. A potential inflammatory signature has been observed among the interaction of several exposures (i.e., smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and inflammatory markers) that further increases the incidence and progression of PCa. A large number of exposures have been identified such as genetic, hormonal, microorganism infections and immune responses that warrant further investigation. Future early detection strategies should utilize this information to assess individuals’ risk for PCa.

Background: Considering that Delirium is a very common neuropsychiatric disorder, it is very important that the characteristics and clinical evolution of patients who develop the condition are thoroughly known. Objective: Describe the clinical profile of patients with Delirium in order to help in the discernment of the most prevalent risk factors and the characteristics of involvement of Delirium. Methods: Descriptive, quantitative and prospective study, which analyzed epidemiological and medical history data, collected through interviews and data from medical records in a tertiary hospital, from March to June 2021. Results: The sample consisted of 5 individuals, with a mean age of 74.2 years, with a predominance of males. All of them had previous comorbidities and forty percent had previous dementia. Among the interviewees, only one presented the development of the Delirium condition as a reason for admission, the majority (80%) was hospitalized for other clinical conditions and developed Delirium only after admission. It was observed that a large part of the sample (60%) was in polypharmacy, and the only individuals with Delirium under 60 years old used 5 or more medications and had HIV infection. Conclusion: The most effective way to reduce the incidence rates of Delirium, improve the prognosis and assist in early diagnosis is through the recognition of associated factors and the characteristics of the most affected population, in order to identify individuals at risk and be able to promote more targeted prevention strategies.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND Taekwondo is a martial art that emphasizes blows using the feet and fists, and it is characterized by direct and continuous body contact, which subjects their practitioners to a higher number of injuries. This study aimed to determine the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in Portuguese taekwondo athletes and analyze its associated factors. METHODS The sample included 341 taekwondo athletes, aged between 4 and 62 years (18.77±12.77 years), 237 (69.5%) were male, and 104 (30.5%) female. A questionnaire was administered at a national level in taekwondo training and competitions via interview. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-two (38.7%) taekwondo athletes reported having suffered an injury since they began their practice, totaling 294 injuries. Seventy-six (22.3%) athletes had an injury in the previous 12-months period, with a total of 112 injuries. There were 2.15 injuries per 1,000 hours of taekwondo training. The most common of all injuries was muscle injury (strain, contusion) (58.6%), in the foot and fingers (18.9%). The attack technique (28.8%) was the most prevalent injury mechanism. Adult athletes presented a higher risk of sustaining taekwondo-related injuries than adolescents (odds ratio = 3.91; 95%CI: 1.13-13.55; p=0.032), and athletes who trained more than 1 hour had a risk 4.20 times greater (95%CI: 1.44-12.29; p=0.009) than those who trained up to 1 hour per session. CONCLUSIONS Injuries were frequent among Portuguese taekwondo athletes, with specific body areas affected, mainly caused by the attack technique. It is necessary to create injury prevention strategies, including specific training and the use of protective equipment.
