La desnutrición intrahospitalaria es un problema prevalente que genera mayor morbi-mortalidad, peor respuesta al tratamiento, mayor estancia y costo hospitalario, pero que en nuestro país no se determina con regularidad y que además no existen muchos datos acerca de su incidencia. Nuestro trabajo tiene como objetivo determinar la incidencia de pacientes que sufren desnutrición intrahospitalaria en un servicio de medicina interna de un Hospital del Seguro Social, siendo este un estudio descriptivo correlacional, observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo de 151 pacientes. Se analizaron las variables de edad, sexo, días de hospitalización, enfermedad que motivo su ingreso y el número de enfermedades asociadas. Se obtuvo como resultados una incidencia de 111 pacientes con desnutrición; encontrándose que 35 desarrollaron desnutrición severa y 76 desnutrición moderada. Se determinó...

El presente proyecto de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar las características clínico demográficas de los pacientes con hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática que presentan vasoespasmo cerebral atendidos en el Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurológicas durante el año 2024. A través de un estudio de tipo observacional, descriptivo. La muestra estará conformada por todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática con vasoespasmo cerebral atendidos en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurológicas. La técnica que se aplicará en la presente investigación será la revisión de las historias clínicas de todos los pacientes con hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática que hayan presentado vasoespasmo cerebral e ingresado a la UCI del Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurológicas en el año 2024.

In our country, glycemic monitoring in diabetics is almost entirely limited to digital puncture. In developed countries, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices have been used, which allow glucose fluctuations to be evaluated throughout the day. Objective: To describe the glucometric findings of patients receiving CGM, as well as the changes it induced in the management of diabetes. Material and Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of 28 patients (9 pediatric and 19 adult) treated in three endocrinology clinics, diagnosed with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), who used real-time or retrospective CGM devices.The variables studied were those reported by the sensors, such as average glucose, times in ranges, daily readings recorded. Results: A correlation was found between the number of daily readings on the sensor and the percentage of time in glucose range (adjusted R=0.51; p...

Appropriate glycemic control during pregnancy prevents maternal-fetal complications. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices measure interstitial glucose levels, allowing patients and providers observe glucose values in real time. There are clear benefits of this tool, but lack of clinical experience in Peru. Three pregnant women with gestational diabetes were managed with the help of the CGM, along with nutritional education sessions and medical check-ups with an endocrinologist. All pregnant women had adequate glycemic control with the use of CGM. Two of them required insulin treatment and nutritional counseling, while the other only required nutritional management. The CGM was well received by the patients because it helped in the recognition and counting of carbohydrates, as well as in the adjustment of the treatment.
