Between 1960 and 1986. Dysgerminomas tumors are relatively rare, are about 1% of ovarian neoplasms - a study of nine cases of dysgerminoma registered in the Department of Gynecology, Regional Hospital Honorio Delgado (Peru Arequipa) is performed. In our series it constituted 0.32% of primary ovarian tumors, and 13.24% of malignant. A higher incidence between the second and third decade of life demonstrates. No significant change was found with menarche; the catamenial regime retained its regularity. The presence of tumor and abdominal pain are constant facts and should direct to the presumption diagnosis of this disease. There was an association with pregnancy in two patients. In most cases, surgical treatment was conservative. Clinical pathological findings in the context of similar publications is discussed and deducting it difficult to pinpoint the diagnosis because the clinical manif...

Objective: To determine the content of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of the banana passionfruit (Passiflora mollissima) and black cherry (Prunus serotina). Materials and methods: An analytical, experimental, longitudinal and prospective study. The black cherries and banana passionfruits were collected in the Cusco, Moquegua and Arequipa regions. The content of phenols and flavonoids weredetermined using the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride method, respectively. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) techniques. Albino rats classified into a negative control group, a positive control group and four experimental groups were used to study the hepatoprotective effect of the fruits. Results: Banana passionfruits from the Cus...
