OBJETIVO: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional y analítico con el objetivo de determinar la relación de sepsis neonatal y los recién nacidos menores de 36 semanas atendidos en el servicio de neonatología del hospital regional de Cajamarca. MATERIAL Y METODOS: Se revisaron 121 historias clínicas de recién nacidos menores de 36 semanas atendidos en el servicio de neonatología del hospital regional de Cajamarca con sepsis neonatal. RESULTADOS: Se encontró una alta relación clínica y estadística entre sepsis neonatal y recién nacidos menores de 36 semana. Se analizó 121 casos, de los cuales el 77.7% fueron sepsis neonatal temprana, y 22.3% sepsis neonatal tardía. Las características clínicas frecuentes para sepsis neonatal fueron: uso de musculatura respiratoria accesoria (temprana:68.1% y tardía: 55.6%), succión pobre (temprana:68.1% y tardía:64%) e ictericia...

El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la formulación óptima y los parámetros del tratamiento térmico para la conserva de granada, determinar el tiempo y temperatura adecuado del tratamiento térmico, evaluar la aceptación de la conserva de granada, mediante el análisis sensorial, y realizar el análisis microbiológico.

De la prueba de esterilización comercial se...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the first experiences of HIV+ pregnant women who delivered at the Loayza General Hospital in 1996 and 1997. MATERIAL: Retrospective stay of 20 pregnant women HIV+. RESULTY: The incidence was 0,18% and increased from one year to anotherin about 50% (0,15% in 1996 to 0,22% in 1997). Four were classified as AIDS and sixteen as HIV+. Fourteen mothers were bettween 21 and 30 years old (70%) and four between 16 and 20 years (20%). Single mothers represent 35%. Secondary students or some with any year of high school total 95%, 20% of them began sexual activity before 15 years, 45% were pregnancy the first time. Twelve pregnant women (60%) bad an adequate prenatal care, they received zidovudine (AZT) during 10,7 weeks in average, giving hirth eight of them by elective cesarean section (5 arrived to the obstetric room with complete dilatation). Three patients presented cond...

To determine if the number of sexual intercourses with free exposure of the female genital tracto sperm before conception is associated with an in creased risk of developing preeclampsia during the sequent pregnancy. METHODOS: Case-control study at Hospital General Nacional Arzobispo Loayza. We studied 85 pregnant women with preeclampsia and 85 pregnant women without preeclompsia. Information was collected by patient interview. Data were analyzed with SPSS for MS Windows Release 6,1 and EPIINFO 6. RESULTS: Risk of preeclampsia increased 23 fold in pregnant women who had fewer than 6 sexual intercourses without barrier methods (exposures); risk was low with fewer than 6.3 exposures (p < 0, 0001). Risk of preeclampsia increased 3 fold in patients who had fewer than 18 months of sexual cohabitation (p = 0, 0024 7). Exposures and risk of severe preeclampsia were inversely related. CONCLUTION...
