Introduction: Informed consent respects the autonomy and will of the patient, and it is the duty of the physician to guide this process. The objective of the study was: to determine the level of knowledge about informed consent in health care, in doctors from Hospital I Naylamp - EsSalud, Chiclayo March - October 2018. The study: Quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional. A validated survey on the level of knowledge of informed consent was applied to 59 attending physicians of Hospital I Naylamp between March and October 2018. Findings: 78% were men, 55.9% between 45 and 60 years of age; 72.9% came from a public university. High level of knowledge: 35.1% of clinical physicians and 40.9% of surgical physicians; 51.7% in doctors with 10 and 20 years of service and 71.4% of doctors with a doctorate degree. Conclusions: An average of 12.95 was obtained, the average level of knowledge about ...

Objective: This study aimed to detect, by multiplex PCR, genes associated with virulence factors of Escherichia coli de isolated from diarrheal samples of children under 5 years of age. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, single-cohort study, in which diarrheal samples from children under five years of age collected from January 2014 to March 2015 were analyzed. Specific primers for detecting the genes of the six pathotypes that cause childhood diarrhea were used: daaD gene (diffusely adherent Escherichia coli - DAEC), aggR gene (Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli - EAEC), eaeA gene (enteropathogenic Escherichia coli - EPEC), stx gene (Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli - STEC), ipaH gene (Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli - EIEC) and st gene (Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli - ETEC). Results: Virulence genes were found in 37.74 % ( 40/106) of the 106 Escherichia co...
