The aim of the present paper is the study of the action performed by the publishing industry in the context of the transposition into digital format of printed books comprising a Latin American and Caribbean literary corpus. The designed corpus includes works and authors labelled as a Latin American segment of the Western Canon, in addition to those segments provided by feminist, queer, postcolonial, and/or decolonization critical theories. It is described/defined the digital ecosystem to which the corpus is transposed as well as some of the strategies implemented by the major e-book trade platforms and the main digital libraries to offer Latin American and Caribbean literature transposed into digital format.

Likewise, a reading extended to the influence of the postcolonial turn is proposed by considering cartonera publishing as a device of the postcolonial turn but, this time, widening the range of typographic forms as well as the postcolonial effect on the publishing field.

A intolerância ao glúten é uma incapacidade do organismo em absorver os nutrientes do glúten, que é a principal proteína encontrada em alguns cereais. A incapacidade de absorver partes do glúten pode ser devida a um componente genético ou pode ser adquirida em qualquer fase da vida. A intolerância pode ainda se manifestar após a ingestão de alimentos que contém este elemento, ou em casos assintomáticos, em que mesmo com a ausência dos sintomas, o intestino sofre agressões pela ingestão ao glúten. O estudo teve como objetivo pesquisar sobre o diagnóstico, intolerância ao glúten e alternativas de alimentos para os pacientes. O estudo foi composto por um conjunto de publicações contidas em periódicos, livros-textos, monografias, dissertações e teses. A coleta foi realizada nas bases eletrônicas Scielo (Scientific Eletronic Library Online), Bireme (Biblioteca Regional de Medicina), BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), Pubmed e Lilacs (Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências Sócias e da Saúde) e publicações como: monografias, dissertações e teses disponíveis eletronicamente, bem como livros-textos no período de 1989 a 2016. Através da realização deste estudo, foi possível perceber que o glúten está presente na maioria dos alimentos disponíveis, sendo encontrado no trigo, na cevada, no centeio, na aveia e derivados, e se faz necessário que existam companhas informativas aos portadores, especialmente, os quais buscam informações quanto a sua deficiência e formas de conviver com ela, sempre prezando pelo seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida. Palavras-chave: Intolerância. Ingestão. Glúten. AbstractThe gluten intolerance is an inability of the body to absorb nutrients, which is one of the main nutrients of some cereals. The inability to absorb the parts can be a genetic component or can be acquired at any stage of life. Intolerance may continue to manifest itself after a process of awareness, that is, in asymptomatic cases, when with the absence of bowel symptoms, in the aggression to the use. The study had a good relationship with diagnosis, gluten intolerance and food alternatives for patients. The study was composed of a set of publications contained in periodicals, textbooks, monographs, dissertations and theses. The collection was carried out in the electronic databases of Scielo, the Regional Library of Medicine, the Virtual Health Library, Pubmed and Lilacs and the publication in English of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Social and Health Sciences. The monographs, dissertations and theses available electronically, as well as textbooks from 1989 to 2016, are not found in wheat, in barley, rye, oats and derivatives. It is necessary to have information about the patients, especially those who seek information about their disability and ways of living with them, always esteemed by their well-being and quality of life. Keywords: Intolerance. Ingestion. Gluten.

Giant Condyloma acuminatum (GCA) , or Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT), is a slow-growing, locally destructive, rare tumor that may occur in the anogenital region and it is related to human papillomavirus (HPV), which was first described by Buschke - Lowenstein in 1925. After consulting the databases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature (LILACS) and International Literature in Health Sciences and Biomedical (PubMed), without temporal delimitation or study design, using the MeSH terms "vulvar neoplasms," "giant condyloma of Buschke and Lowenstein", "condylomata acuminate”, we found 24 articles. After exclusion of the articles that did not address the BLT, it remained ten cases reported in the literature. We reported a case of BLT that clashes with the profile described in the literature. Consent was obtained from the patient for publication of the case and images.
