The concept of reproductive cloning refers to the possibility of being able to have offspring through the use oftechnology, with the exception that it is our own genes that are used to carry it out.The problem faced by this typeof assisted reproduction technique is that of morality or immorality. In order to better elucidate whether it is viableor not, a general analysis will be made from the utilitarian perspective. In this paper it will be proposed that themorality around the technique of reproductive cloning does not violate the foundations of human dignity. Thetheme of Arrow's Paradox will be addressed and the concept of Domain Restriction will be proposed as atheoretical framework for the solution of said paradox

El presente trabajo de investigación comprende cuatro capítulos. El primero de ellos tiene que ver con la problematización de la clonación reproductiva, a quienes compete y por qué es importante hablar y debatir sobre ella. El segundo capítulo aborda las posiciones más representativas en contra de la clonación reproductiva. Se realiza un examen de las posturas antitéticas, se resaltan sus debilidades; pero, sobre todo, se identifican las que tienen en común para poder tener un mapeo de las ideas centrales que fundamentan este enfoque antagonista. En el tercer capítulo se expone las posiciones a favor de la clonación humana, así como las posturas filosóficas a favor y algunos estudios del tema que demuestran y desmantelan muchos mitos sobre la clonación. En este capítulo también se reflexiona sobre la idea de dignidad humana en Kant y el utilitarismo, ambas enmarcadas en ...

The pandemic caused by COVID-19, which has been affecting humanity since March 2020, has forced universities to suspend the development of academic activities within their facilities as a measure to prevent the contagion and spread of the virus. Under these circumstances, the possibility of adapting teaching systems through virtual learning environments (VLE) arose. For this to be successful, the necessary technological resources must be available, and universities, teachers and students must be equipped with the necessary equipment.

Objective: The aim was identify the factors associated with the development of carotid atherosclerosis in high altitude inhabitants. Material and Methods: Evaluation with carotid Doppler ultrasound was carried out on 144 people over 40 years of age from and native to Huancayo, Peru, located between 3000 and 4000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l), sociodemographic data and their results from the studies were recorded. laboratory. Factors affecting carotid atherosclerosis were compared using logistic regression analysis. Results: Of the total participants, the average age was 59 years, 73 people (50.7%) were male, the average body mass index was 27. The morbidities identified were arterial hypertension (HTA) (OR 2.63; 95% CI: 1.81-5.89; p=0.018), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.74; 95% CI: 1.04-3.48; p=0.041), and dyslipidemia (OR 1.87; 95% CI: 1.09-3.63; p=0.037). Duration of HTA for 5 years and o...

Se considera que el incremento del grosor de la íntima y media de la arteria carótida común (GIMA) puede ser un indicador temprano de enfermedad cardiovascular, incluso en pacientes asintomáticos, lo que puede constituirlo en una herramienta de identificación de potenciales puntos de intervención temprana. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los factores asociados al incremento del GIMA en pacientes asintomáticos atendidos en el Hospital Regional Docente Clínico Quirúrgico Daniel Alcides Carrión de Huancayo, desde julio de 2022 a junio del 2023. Se realizó una ecografía Doppler carotidea a 150 voluntarios sin enfermedad cardiovascular sintomática, considerándose valores mayores a 1 mm como un GIMA incrementado. El análisis multivariado reportó la hipertensión arterial [OR=4,89; IC95%: 1,64-14,57; p=0,004] y la edad ≥ 55 años [OR=4,26; IC95%: 1,28-14,1...

Introduction: Latin America was the region most affected by COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020, and consequently, the impact on mental health requires evaluation. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by bereavement due to COVID-19 in 12 countries in Latin America. Methods: The current study was an analytical cross-sectional study. Validated tests were applied for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21), questions about the respondent’s condition or their environment, and demographic questions, as well as the length of the mourning period of suffering. Results: The outcomes demonstrated that the PTSD risk increased for women (p < 0.001), when a friend or acquaintance had COVID-19 (p = 0.002), when a close relative died from COVID-19 (p = 0.010), having severe depression (p <0.001), severe anxiety (p <0.001), severe stre...
