Given the constant presence of fraudulent drugs in unauthorized sales places, it is necessary to have simple methods to identify the active ingredients, for this purpose, a sequential analytical method is proposed to identify NSAIDs, which consists of three stages: drop test , reactions in tube with aqueous solution 0.1% of diclofenac sodium, naproxen sodium and ibuprofen and reaction separately with aqueous solutions of 0.1N AgNO3, 0.5N CuSO4 and 0.1N FeCl3 originating in each case, after 2-3 minutes , opalescence and characteristic color similar for both the secondary standard and the solution analyzed. In the third stage, said NSAIDs in aqueous medium at concentration 75mg / 5mL separately, was added 4 drops of the reagent obtained by interaction of cobalt nitrate and ammonium thiocyanate originating microcrystals whose geometric structure was observed under optical microscope at 40x;...

Ante la constante presencia de medicamentos fraudulentos en lugares de venta no autorizados, es necesario disponer de métodos sencillos para identificar los principios activos, con esta finalidad, se propone un método analítico secuencial para identificar AINES que consta de tres etapas: ensayo a la gota, reacciones en tubo con solución acuosa 0.1% de diclofenaco sódico, naproxeno sódico e ibuprofeno y reacción por separado con soluciones acuosas de AgNO3 0,1N, CuSO4 0,5N y FeCl3 0,1N originando en cada caso, después de 2-3 minutos, opalescencia y color característico similar tanto para el estándar secundario como para la solución analizada. En la tercera etapa, dichos AINES en medio acuoso a concentración 75mg/5mL por separado, se le añadió 4 gotas del reactivo obtenido por interacción de nitrato de cobalto y tiocianato de amonio originando microcristales cuya estructura ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health problem, worsed by multidrugs resistant forms (MDR-TB). The control of MDR-TB require a well definition of patient epidemiological situation before start treatment and clarify the rol of different risk factors associated to MDR-TB . The objectives were to determine the associated factors to MDR-TB in urban marginal health public centers from East Lima. This is an observational and analytical case-control study, age and gener matched, undertaken since 2006 to 2008. We defined as case all patients who were diagnosticated and treated to MDR-TB and as control all patients who were recuperated from tuberculosis with primary scheme. The data was acquired from the routine reports of the National Control Program. 252 patients were incorporated, 126 cases and 126 controls. 108 (85,7%) controls and 19 (15%) cases were new. 45 (36%) cases were failures to previo...

Tuberculosis is a public health problem, generated by poverty, with high prevalence and incidence. The objetives of this study were to determine the associated factors to tuberculosis in a marginal urban health center of Lima. This is an observational study of case report undertaken in Chaclacayo since January 1999 to December 2008. The data collected was acquired from the routine reports of the National Control Program. A total of 197 cases were evaluated; 108 were men (55%) and 89 were women (45%). Within these 197 subjects, 151 were new cases (76.6%) and 32 were individuals who had been previously diagnosed with tuberculosis (16.2%). The incidence decreased from 305 x 100 000 in 1999 to 119 x 100 000 inhabitants in 2008. The more affected age groups were 15-29 years with 103 cases (52.3%). 174 patients showed a high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis (88%); successful treatment were...
