Ergonomic risks in surgery can have a significant impact on the musculoskeletal health of surgeons, increasing the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and affecting their ability to work effectively and safely. This is compounded by the introduction of technologies such as video-assisted surgery and robotics, which although offer advantages in precision, can increase fatigue and muscle stress. Additionally, different surgical specialties face unique challenges, such as prolonged postures and delicate movements in neurosurgery, and manipulation of heavy instruments in orthopedic surgery. It is essential to increase ergonomic awareness among surgeons and provide specific training during their training, as well as improve the ergonomic design of operating rooms and select ergonomic surgical equipment. Continued research and intervention evaluation are critical to developing effec...

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality with a cardiovascular factor. Its appearance is generally determined by risk factors such as surgery. This occurrence can be avoided in some scenarios thanks to the administration of thromboprophylaxis. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of thromboprophylaxis on the incidence of VTE in post-surgical patients. The study was developed thanks to an analytical approach to information, with the PRISMA methodology of systematic reviews, for which works were retrieved through the PUBMED, Science Direct and Scopus search engines, where 20 academic documents were recognized. It is concluded that thromboprophylaxis reduces the incidence of VTE in post-surgical patients; however, it is recommended to continue with studies to determine the most specific anticoagulant according to the typ...

Since its inception, the COVID-19 infection has impacted the lives of at-risk populations, including pregnant women. Using clinical data and case studies, other authors have shown greater morbidity in pregnant women positive for the infection. This review includes articles from the PUBMED, SCOPUS, and SCIENCEDIRECT databases of international research. Data have shown that, compared to uninfected pregnant women, COVID is associated with increased risk and maternal and perinatal complications. Complications involving increased hospital admission were present mostly in the third trimester and included premature birth, spontaneous abortion, cesarean section, ICU admission, assisted mechanical ventilation, pneumonia, maternal death. Birth outcomes often included fetal distress, intrauterine death, and perinatal events found were low birth weight, severe sepsis, and neonatal death. The risk of...

Objective: To establish whether the perception of abuse was related to the prevalence of stress in the year 2024. Material and Methods: The type of study was quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational in design. 85 students were evaluated, they were selected by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience, a significant p < 0.05 was used as a parameter to determine the relationship between variables. Results: a prevalence of high levels of stress of 82.3% was found in the students, which is related to different types of abuse, academic abuse with a significant correlation with a (p = 0.020); psychological abuse with a (p = 0.0282); On the contrary, physical abuse with a (p = 0.52) and sexual abuse with a (p = 0.2308) showed no significant correlation. Sex and year of study demonstrated a significant relationship with stress levels, with values of p = 0.0274 and p = 0.0492, respectivel...

Objectives: Demonstrate the relationship between mental disorders and alcohol consumption in medical students at a university in Cajamarca, Peru in 2024. Material and methods: A non-experimental cross-sectional study was carried out. A sample of 154 students was taken to whom the DASS-21 questionnaire (Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales) and AUDIT (Alcohol Consumption Related Disorders Identification Test) were applied. The SPSS v.27 program was used in data analysis. Descriptive and correlational statistics were applied using Pearson's chi square. Results: No significant relationship was found between mental disorders and alcohol consumption. 96.8% present moderate risk consumption, anxiety at a medium level in 22.1% and depression at a moderate level in 20.8% and stress at a medium level in 13.6%. A significant relationship was found between sex and anxiety (p=0.004), financial suppo...

Heart failure (HF) after a myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most frequent complications and with the highest mortality rate in the population. Given this, the importance of finding appropriate biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of this condition. The review was carried out under an analytical approach, using the PRISMA statement as a methodology; for this, documents were retrieved through the Scopus, ScienceDirect and PubMed databases, where 20 articles that met certain inclusion criteria were recognized. In conclusion, it was explained that the use of standard biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and non-terminal pro-BNP in clinical practice have limitations, especially due to their low specificity for HF as a post-MI complication. Therefore, currently, biomarkers that reflect the alteration of cardiac integrity, biomarkers of cardiac injury and...

Objectives: to determine the relationship between addiction to social networks and the presence of mental disorders in medical students at a university in Cajamarca in the year 2024. Method: the study had a quantitative approach, non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational design. It involved the participation of 114 students, who filled out a survey consisting of two questionnaires: “Addiction to Social Networks” and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Abbreviated Scales (DASS-21), which are validated with Combrach’s alpha 0,95 and 0,933 respectively. Results: respondents are mostly aged 16-20 years and 54,4 % were female. A high prevalence level (98,2 %) of addiction to social networks was calculated; meanwhile, the prevalence of anxiety, depression and stress were 51,2 %, 46,5 % and 43 %, respectively. A significant association was found between depression and stress with res...

Objective: determine the relationship between the level of physical activity and harmful habits of medical students at a Peruvian university in 2024. Method: 117 students were taken from a population of 210 basic science students from the medical school.
