    Hepatocellular carcinoma in identical twins in Chile: case report
    (2016) Caglevic, C.; Silva, S.; Mahave, M.; Torres Montes, Paula Javiera; Rolfo, C.; Gallardo, J.; Carrasco, P.
    Liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common type of primary malignant liver tumour, with a typically poor prognosis, growing incidence and a well-documented relationship with chronic inflammation factors of the liver tissue. Despite the fact that family medical history has been identified as a risk factor for the development of HCC, its significance in terms of etiopathogenesis and prognosis is not well documented. With a view to contributing to this discussion, we will report the clinical case of two identical twins with HCC, both diagnosed within a short period of time, by providing relevant clinical data, and relating this to other medical literature reports that could contribute to a deeper understanding of this illness.

    Sub-millimeter non-contaminated detection of the disk around TWA\\,7 by ALMA
    (2019) Bayo, A.; Olofsson, Johan; Matra, L.; Beamin Muhlenbrock, Juan Carlos; Gallardo, J.; de Gregorio-Monsalvo, I.; Booth, M.; Zamora, C.; Iglesias, D.; Henning, Th.; R. Schreiber, M.; Cáceres Acevedo, Claudio Cesar
    Debris disks can be seen as the left-overs of giant planet formation and the possible nurseries of rocky planets. While M-type stars out-number more massive stars we know very little about the time evolution of their circumstellar disks at ages older than $\sim 10$\,Myr. Sub-millimeter observations are best to provide first order estimates of the available mass reservoir and thus better constrain the evolution of such disks. Here, we present ALMA Cycle\,3 Band\,7 observations of the debris disk around the M2 star TWA\,7, which had been postulated to harbor two spatially separated dust belts, based on unresolved far-infrared and sub-millimeter data. We show that most of the emission at wavelengths longer than $\sim 300$\,$\mu$m is in fact arising from a contaminant source, most likely a sub-mm galaxy, located at about 6.6" East of TWA\,7 (in 2016). Fortunately, the high resolution of our ALMA data allows us to disentangle the contaminant emission from that of the disc and report a significant detection of the disk in the sub-millimeter for the first time with a flux density of 2.1$\pm$0.4 mJy at 870 $\mu$m. With this detection, we show that the SED can be reproduced with a single dust belt.

    Sub-millimetre non-contaminated detection of the disc around TWA 7 by ALMA
    (2019) Beamin Muhlenbrock, Juan Carlos; Bayo, A.; Olofsson, J.; Matrà, L.; Gallardo, J.; de Gregorio-Monsalvo, I.; Booth, M.; Zamora, C.; Iglesias, D.; Henning. Th; Schreiber, M.R.; Cáceres, C.
    Debris discs can be seen as the leftovers of giant planet formation and the possible nurseries of rocky planets. While M-type stars outnumber more massive stars we know very little about the time evolution of their circumstellar discs at ages older than ∼10 Myr. Sub-millimetre observations are best to provide first order estimates of the available mass reservoir and thus better constrain the evolution of such discs. Here, we present ALMA Cycle 3 Band 7 observations of the debris disc around the M2 star TWA 7, which had been postulated to harbour two spatially separated dust belts, based on unresolved far-infrared and sub-millimetre data. We show that most of the emission at wavelengths longer than ∼300 μm is in fact arising from a contaminant source, most likely a sub-mm galaxy, located at about 6.6 arcsec east of TWA 7 (in 2016). Fortunately, the high resolution of our ALMA data allows us to disentangle the contaminant emission from that of the disc and report a significant detection of the disc in the sub-millimetre for the first time with a flux density of 2.1 ± 0.4 mJy at 870 um. With this detection, we show that the spectral energy distribution can be reproduced with a single dust belt.
