OBJECTIVE: To determine maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality caused by abruptio placentae at the Obstetrical Service, Dos de Mayo Hospital, during years 1990 through 1995. DESIGN: Descriptive study, reviewing maternal clinical histories and neonatology registry. RESULTS: During this period 133 cases of abruptio placentae ocurred, incidence 0,77%; 68 histories were found. Most frequent age varied from 20 to 30 years (57,2%), almost 50% were term pregnancies, most did not have pre natal control ot it was insufficient (70,5%), parity was less than two (63,1%). Most frequent concomitant pathology was hypertensive disease (41,1%). Major symptomatology consisted in hemorrhage (64,7%), perinatal mortality was about 50%, with severe asphyxia in most of newborns. Neonatal morbidity consisted in infections, with sepsis in 12,1%. There was no maternal mortality. Puerperal morbidity was du...

La presente investigación tiene como finalidad evaluar el diseño de mezcla de concreto con una resistencia a la compresión f^' c=210 kg/cm^2 reemplazando parte de los agregados convencionales por agregados reciclados, más precisamente se utilizará el PET y el vidrio como agregado grueso y fino respectivamente para poder evaluar la factibilidad de aplicación en la fabricación de bloques de concreto tipo P en el distrito de Ventanilla. Estos agregados reciclados se obtuvieron de la recolección manual del plástico y del vidrio alrededor de las principales áreas del distrito de Ventanilla. Luego de su recolección dichos materiales pasaron por un proceso de desinfección, limpieza y secado para su posterior almacenamiento y trituración hasta llegar a obtener la granulometría requerida según lo especificado para la investigación. Luego, se realizó los ensayos correspondientes a...

It was studied 259 pregnant women corresponding to I (45), II (88) and III (126) trimesters, being 56 adolescent. The nutritional assessment was made from an anthropometic and biochemical point of view. The following measures were taken: weight, height, brachial perimeter (AP) and triceps skinfold thickness (TST); with the first two the Quetelet Index (IQ) was calculated and with the latter ones the muscular area (MA) and fat area (FA). Biochemically the hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrite (Ht) was dosed; those women under 11 g/dl were considered anemics.Most pregnant have IQ within normal levels for non-pregnant reference. Remaining pregnant prevails overweight and obesity of temporal type. In deposit ratios occurs something similar to the IQ, with the difference that deficit predominates.Sixty percent are anemic, 33,65 and 66%, corresponding to the I, II and III trimesters of pregnancy, re...
