Introducción: Los embarazos no deseados son un problema de salud pública mundial y contribuyen significativamente a la salud materna y neonatal. En Perú donde los datos de embarazos no deseado son escasos, es necesario realizar estudios de prevalencia y predictores. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre las prácticas de anticoncepción y el embarazo no deseado en las mujeres peruanas, según el reporte de ENDES 2019. Metodología: Estudio analítico basado en la información contenida en la base de datos pública de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar, se analizó datos de 1135 mujeres embarazadas residentes en el Perú entre 15 y 49 años, para la evaluación de los factores asociados al deseo de embarazo se realizó el análisis univariado y bivariado mediante el cálculo de frecuencias y porcentajes. Posteriormente se calcularon las razones de prevalencia crudas (RPc)...

Introduction: Manihot esculenta Crantz (yucca) leaves have been used around the world and over time in order to decrease the anti-inflammatory response. Objective: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract of the Manihot esculenta Crantz leaf in rats. Methods: An experimental study was conducted. The study population included 60 albino rats sp. Rattus novergicus, distributed in 4 groups of 15 rats each. A homogeneous solution of ethanolic extract of Manihot esculenta Crantz leaves was used for intraperitoneal administration. Carrageenan was used as an inflammatory inducer that was administered intradermally; for the measurement of plantar edema, the Digital Water Plethysmometer (LE7500) was used. Tween 80 / water solution (1:10) was administered to the negative control group at a dose of 1mL./100g., To the betamethasone positive control group 4mg / Kg and to tre...

Introducción: Las hojas de Manihot esculenta Crantz (yuca) han sido usadas alrededor del mundo y a lo largo del tiempo con el fin de disminuir la respuesta antiinflamatoria. Objetivo: Evaluar la actividad antiinflamatoria del extracto etanólico de la hoja de Manihot esculenta crantz en ratas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio tipo experimental. La población de estudio fueron 60 ratas albinas sp. Rattus novergicus, distribuidas en 4 grupos de 15 ratas cada uno. Se usó una solución homogénea de extracto etanólico de hojas de Manihot esculenta crantz para su administración vía intraperitoneal. Se utilizó carragenina como inductor inflamatorio, que fue administrado por vía intradérmica; para la medición del edema plantar, se hizo uso del Digital Water Plethysmometer (LE7500). Se administró al grupo control negativo solución de tween 80/agua (1:10) a dosis de 1ml/10g., al grupo ...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Vascular calcifications are part of the systemic disorders of bone mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and represent one of the main causes of mortality.  Objective: To determine the clinical characteristics, prevalence of vascular calcifications and biochemical alterations of the bone mineral disorder in patients with CKD in hemodialysis therapy. Methods: Analytical, cross-sectional and non-experimental study. The prevalence of vascular calcifications (abdominal aorta) was determined according to the validated score (Kaupilla). The association of qualitative variables was used the Pearson Chi-Square. Results: The population included (n: 49), 65% of the patients were incidents in hemodialysis (> 6 months) with a mean hemodialysis time of 2.8 years. The not incident or new patients on hemodialysis (<6 months) was 35%. The average age was 62...
