Objective: To determine the prevalence of metabolically healthy obesity in medical students from the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo. Materials and methods: An observational descriptive cross-sectional research which included 37 medical students with obesity. Waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglycerides (TG), serum HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and glycemia were evaluated to classify the participants as having metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) or metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). Results: The prevalence of obesity in the medical students was 9.14 %. According to the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III), 78.38 % of the sample had MHO. Significant differences in HDL-C were found among the male students, and in SBP and DBPamong the students with MHO and MUO. According to the Wildman modified classification, the prevalence of MHO was...

The obstruction of the nasolacrimal conduct or dacryostenosis is the result of an incomplete canalization of such a conduct. The clinical manifestations start 2-3 weeks after birth and are characterized by epiphora and muco-purulent discharge. Dacryostenosis may lead to several complications such as acute dacrocystitis, that is a suppurative inflammation characterized by pain, erythema and swollen that can evolve to a lacrimal abscess, pre-septal cellulitis, orbital cellulitis, orbital abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, thrombosis of the superior ophthalmic vein and meningitis.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of tuberculous lymphadenitis cases in children published until April 2022. Material and methods: Case reports of tuberculous lymphadenitis by M. tuberculosis in children were searched in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, LILACs, Ovid MEDLINE, EBSCO, and BMC Case Reports databases. Results: Forty-one reports were selected and a total of 46 patients were included. The majority were males (52,2%) of 8,5 (5-12) years old. The time of disease was 2 (1-5) months. The most frequent clinical manifestations were palpable lymphadenopathy (60,9%), fever (52,2%) and cough (26,1%). Weight loss (17,4%), scrofula (15,2%), respiratory distress (13%), hyporexia (13%), localized pain (13%), skin rash (13%), night sweats (4.3%), abdominal pain (4.3%) and jaundice (2,2%) were also founded. Cervical nodes were most frequently involved (71,4%). Only 17,4...
