Background: The risk of prematurity includes a wide variety of complications at birth, such as infectious diseases, intraventricular hemorrhage, neurosensory deficiencies, respiratory failure and involvement of other systems, as well as growth and developmental problems. Therefore, the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing child mortality depends largely on the reduction of mortality related to premature birth, making it one of the most important challenges for modern public health. Objetive: To identify maternal factors associated with prematurity. Material and Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 2000 live newborns in a public hospital in Trujillo, between 2015-2019. The groups were divided according to the criteria of gestational age. The paired maternal clinical variables were analyzed according to prematurity or term, and a bivariate and ...

Background: Breast cancer is an important cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide and represents the second most frequent cause of brain metastases after lung cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics and outcomes of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with brain metastasis (BM). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of patients diagnosed with TNBC at the "Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplasicas" (period 2000-2014) to evaluate patients who developed BM. Survival rates were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and prognostic factors were identified with the Cox regression analysis. Results: Of a total of 2007 TNBC patients, 193 (9.62%) developed BM. Of these, 169 stages I-III patients with a median age of 45 years (range:21-78) were included. The stage in this cohort was 4 (2.4%) clinical stage (CS) I, 23 (13.6%) with CS II and 14...
