Introducción: Candida albicans sigue siendo la levadura aislada con mayor frecuencia en pacientes inmunodeprimidos. El análisis del ADN polimórfico amplificado al azar es usado para evaluar la similitud entre cepas de una misma especie y asociar genotipos particulares a caracteres fenotípicos de los aislados. Objetivo: Determinar la variabilidad genética entre cepas de C. albicans aisladas de muestras de orina y vaginal de pacientes oncológicos portadores de catéter urinario, hospitalizados en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN) en Lima. Material y Métodos: En seis meses de vigilancia, se buscaron cepas de levaduras de muestras de orina e hisopado vaginal, caracterizándolas fenotipicamente según los métodos convencionales en micología médica y la susceptibilidad antifúngica por método de difusión en agar. El ADN extraído de las cepas de C. albicans ...

Objective: To establish the relationship between occupational stress levels and the production of malondialdehyde (MDA), as a product of lipid peroxidation, among workers of Universidad Católica Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo in Chiclayo. Materials and methods: A descriptive, correlational research. The sample consisted of 72 workers, 37 of whom wereprofessors and 35 administrative staff members. Plasma MDA was measured spectrophotometrically by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction. To determine stress, the Occupational Stress Scale, developed by Ivancevich and Matteson in 1989 and adapted by Suárez in 2013, was used. The instrument had 25 items and seven dimensions: organizational climate, organizational structure, organizational territory, technology, leadership influence, lack of cohesion and group support.
