Introduction: Self-medication is a common practice to alleviate symptoms of various diseases in child population such as pharyngitis and rhinopharyngitis that are common in health centers in Peru. Objective: To determine the factors associated with self-medication in children with upper respiratory tract diseases. Material and methods: Cross-sectional analytical observational study. The sample size was 206 parents who went with their children to the Emergency Service. A questionnaire approved by Valenzuela. M and the SPSS program were used to find the frequency, bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis of Poisson. Results: The prevalence of self-medication in children was 91.3%. Parents who only studied primary and secondary school were more likely to self-medicate their children APR=1.22 (95% CI: 1.01-1.40). The firstborn were protected from self-medication APR=0...

Introducción: La violencia intrafamiliar se basa en fenómenos con una relación de subordinación, cuyos comportamientos se relacionan con el daño físico, psicológico y sexual, mediante el uso real o simbólico de la fuerza, con el objetivo de dominar la voluntad, mente y cuerpo de la víctima. Objetivo: Determinar los factores sociodemográficos asociados a las mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar en el Perú durante el año 2021. Material y Métodos: Es estudio observacional, retrospectivo, analítico y transversal, desarrollado mediante las bases secundarias ENDES 2021; se utilizó la información de 21 557 mujeres, la cual fue analizada mediante el software estadístico SPSS versión 27. Se hizo uso de las razones de prevalencia mediante el modelo de regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta.  Resultados: Se determinó una prevalencia del 47.7 % de violencia psicológi...

Scientific journals play an important role in disseminating results of investigations, as well as criticism of the established knowledge (1). Their quality depends among other aspects, the speed of the selection process and publication (editorial process) Articles (2).

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the factors associated with complications in inguinal hernioplasty in a hospital of the armed forces of Peru, 2013-2017. Methods: Observational, quantitative, retrospective, analytical type case and control study. There were 52 cases and 104 controls, obtained under the spreadsheet and chosen by simple probabilistic sampling. We analyzed the association measures through the Odds Ratio (OR). A 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used and the chi-squared statistic was applied with a statistical significance level of less than 0.05. Results: It was found that seroma was the most frequent complication. With regard to sex, an OR was observed: 1.41; 95% CI: 0.655 - 3.05; p 0.375, for age, an OR was obtained: 4.56; 95% CI: 2.24 - 9.28; p 0.00. For obesity, an OR was found: 28.52; 95% CI: 10.9-74.60; 0.00. In the diameter of the hernial ring, OR was obtained: 1....

Introduction: A common pathology in the Neurosurgery Service is chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), affecting elderly male patients. It is an accumulation of blood that is located in the subdural space that can occur spontaneously or be the result of a head injury or other pathologies such as high blood pressure (HBP), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), alcoholism, or external factors such as head trauma (CT) and consumption of platelet antiaggregants. Objective: To determine how predisposing factors are associated with CSDH in adults and older adults treated at the Neurosurgery and Geriatrics Service at the María Auxiliadora Hospital (HMA) in 2016-2020. Methods:An analytical, observational, retrospective study of cases and controls was carried out through data collection from medical records. Results: Association was found with age 60 to 96 years (adjusted OR = 2,52; 95% CI: 1,43 - 4,80), m...

Introduction: Obstetric complications are an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, with prenatal control (PNC) being a strategy for their adequate prevention and treatment. Objective: To determine the association between adequate CPN and peripartum and postpartum maternal obstetric complications. Methodology: Quantitative, observational, retrospective, cross-sectional and analytical study, based on information from the ENDES 2017-2019. Results: A sample of 41,803 mothers was analyzed, 21,0% and 28,7% had peripartum and postpartum complications respectively, furthermore, it was found that not having a quality NPC (PR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.14-1.27), residing in metropolitan Lima (PR = 1,38; 95% CI = 1,27-1,49) or in the mountains (PR = 1,25; 95% CI = 1,18-1,33), belong to wealth quintile two (PR = 1,13; 95% CI = 1,04-1,22) or three (PR = 1,11; 95% CI = ...

Background:   Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCM) is known as the lack of maturation of the myocardium that is evidenced by prominent trabeculations and the presence of recesses in newborns and infants that can manifest clinically as heart failure. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the anatomical development of pediatric patients diagnosed with NCM at an early age. Clinical Case: Retrospective case series study of patients diagnosed with non-compaction cardiomyopathy during the first year of life, confirmed according to Jenni criteria, with echocardiographic follow-up every 6 months, from 2017 - 2021. The patients were diagnosed in the first months of life. life, 3 had associated heart disease, 3 had arrhythmias, 3 died and 1 abandoned the controls at 2 months of age. In the 3 patients who remained, it was evident that the ratio of non-compacted myocardium (NC) / compacted ...
