Evalúa la relación entre tiempo de la aparición de la clínica hasta el nadir y la funcionalidad motora al alta de sujetos con diagnóstico de Síndrome Guillain-Barré hospitalizados en el Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo. Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo con una base de datos procedente del Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo del Perú, la cual incluyó a pacientes atendidos en el periodo 2011-2015. Los pacientes fueron divididos en dos grupos de acuerdo con la progresión de la enfermedad: “progresión hiperaguda” (nadir alcanzado hasta 48 horas después del inicio de los síntomas) y “progresión gradual”. Asimismo, se utilizó la escala de discapacidad de Hughes para la evaluación del resultado funcional al alta hospitalaria. Se obtuvo que, de los 66 participantes incluidos en el estudio, 8 (12,1%) tuvieron un SGB de progresión hiperaguda y 58 (87.9%) de progre...

Objectives: To identify the association between the number of informal workers and the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Peru. Methods: Data from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics of Peru and the National COVID-19 Database were used. Bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between the number of informal workers, population density, altitude, and the number of positive COVID-19 cases. Results: The bivariate analysis showed that the number of informal workers was significantly associated with positive cases in both high and low altitude regions (p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis, informal workers (p<0.001), population density (p=0.02), and altitude (p<0.001) were found to be associated with the number of positive COVID-19 cases. Conclusions: Informal workers are common in low- and middle-income coun...

Objective: To describe the bibliometric indicators and trends in the scientific production of the Revista de Neuro-Psiquiatría, recently indexed in Scopus. Materials and methods: A search strategy was designed to collect publications registered by Scopus between 2020 and 2024. The variables collected by the SciVal tool were grouped into institutional productivity, author metrics, collaboration patterns, and most cited articles. At the same time, the Bibliometrix package reported collaboration between countries, thematic trends, and the spectrum of reference publications over time. The information was summarily reported in graphs and tables. Results: A total of 187 documents were published, with an average of 1.35 citations per document, and predominance of neurology and mental health topics. The most prolific author, with the highest h-index was Mario Cornejo-Olivas, with a total of 12 ...

Objectives. To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on the components of the metabolic syndrome in older diabetic patients. Materials and methods: We used the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Cochrane library, Web of Science databases and the Google Scholar search engine. Randomized controlled trials ( RCTs ) were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Two review authors independently determined whether studies met the inclusion criteria, extracted data and used the Cochrane risk of bias (ROB 2.0) tool. Quantitative analyzes were performed in R V. 4.0.5 using random effects. Results. The searches identified 8697 studies, of which 7 RCTs were included in the qualitative synthesis. Most studies were assessed to have high or low ROB in at least three domains. The meta-analysis showed that aerobic exercise was effective in improving glucose levels (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -1.0...
