HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder of the vascular system. It is usually asymptomatic but when symptomatic most common presentation is epistaxis. It can involve any organs of the body like lungs, skin, liver brain, GI mucosa etc. We are reporting a case of HHT presented to us with dyspnea and severe anemia. He had arteriovenous malformations of different visceral organs and telangiectasia of skin along with presence of similar history in first-degree relatives.

TRASTORNOS DEPRESIVOS EN ENFERMOS CARDIOVASCULARES
Muchas veces la afección psiquiátrica precede y es considerada un factor de riesgo importante para la aparición de enfermedad cardiovascular, mientras que en otras oportunidades se observa que la irrupción de la enfermedad cardíaca en la vida de la persona es el factor desencadenante o precipitante para la subsiguiente aparición del trastorno mental.

SENSITIVITY OF FECAL IMMUNOCHEMICAL TEST IN DETECTING COLORECAL NEOPLASMS
Cumulative evidence has confirmed that FIT is a sensitive screening test with the potential to decrease the mortality of CRC when it is implemented at the population level. The evaluation of FIT performance is an important first step before implementation of the preventive strategy; however, one positive test is not equal to one cancer detected. Many other important issues complicate the screening process. To improve the effectiveness on the population level, a step-by-step evaluation of the screening process is needed.

EPILEPSY AND VITAMIN D
Vitamin D has a central role in the nervous system. Epilepsy patients generally exhibit low level of vitamin D and co-morbidities that are also related to vitamin D. Most antiepileptic drugs have an effect to lower serum level of vitamin D while vitamin D supplementation has been shown to decrease seizures. We recommend routine screening of epilepsy patients on antiepileptic drugs and supplement vitamin D if needed.
