Introduction: Ayahuasca (also called huasca, oasca, caapi or yagé) is a concoction of traditional use, with psychoactive effects of interest in human health. This situation creates the need to generate scientific knowledge to identify gaps in knowledge and research priorities. Objective: To describe the impact of scientific production on the use of Ayahuasca in human health published in journals indexed in Scopus until October 2021. Methods: Bibliometric study of secondary databases. A systematic search of information was carried out in Scopus, in order to identify original articles that investigated the use of Ayahuasca in health problems. Information was collected on the year of publication, language of publication, areas of knowledge studied, research designs involved, journal of publication, proportions of international collaboration, inter-institutional collaboration networks, co-a...

El objetivo del estudio desarrolla y funcionaliza una biopelícula sobre la base de la goma brea Parkinsonia praecox (Ruiz & Pav.ex Hook) Hawkins con aceites esenciales de Minthostachys mollis, “muña” y Piper carpunya “pinku”, como una alternativa sostenible frente a las películas o films derivados de combustibles fósiles los cuales son en su mayoría no biodegradables y generan impactos negativos en el medio ambiente. Además, se busca que este material contribuya a la industria alimentaria para la conservación y prolongar la vida útil de alimentos como frutas y verduras, ofreciendo una solución que pueda ser consumida o eliminada de forma amigable con el entorno. La metodología incluyó la elaboración de la biopelícula en cuatro formulaciones y dos controles, evaluando sus propiedades fisicoquímicas, mecánicas y biológicas. Los resultados destacaron a la F2 (7,50% d...

Objective: To determine the barriers in the management of health facilities that serve the indigenous and Afro-descendant population in Peru. Material and methods: A virtual survey on health management was designed for first level health care personnel in 89 health facilities (EESS) in 27 provinces during October and November 2021. Results: In 73% of the EESS, the personnel reported not knowing the plan against the third pandemic wave, 14.8% of the EESS reported not being trained in the management of COVID-19, in 22.7% of the EESS they met to coordinate how to face the third pandemic wave, in 83% of the EESS the personnel reported not having a budget for their plan against COVID-19. Conclusions: There are barriers in the vision, management and budget in EESS that serve indigenous and Afro-Peruvian populations, which would affect the effective execution of strategies for the control of th...
