Adenomyosis, initially defined by Cullen in 1908 and distinguished from other types of endometriosis by Sampson in 1921,has seen significant improvements in its diagnosis thanks to advances in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), which have increased its detected incidence. Since its introduction in the 1980s, ultrasound technology has evolvedwith high-resolution endocavitary transducers and 3D ultrasound, allowing for detailed assessment of the disease, especially in the endometrial junction zone. Although MRI offers higher resolution images, studies have shown little significantdifference in diagnostic value between the two techniques for adenomyosis, positioning ultrasound as a valuable initialdiagnostic tool due to its safety, low cost, and availability. Ultrasonographic criteria for diagnosis include the identificationof hyperechoic nodules, myometrial cysts, and alterati...

Objetivo. Evaluar los resultados de un programa para la mejora de la calidad de vida en pacientes oncológicas del ¨Club de la mama¨ atendidas en el INMP (2023). Materiales y Métodos. Esta investigación corresponde a un estudio piloto con un análisis cuasiexperimental, el cual consiste en la aplicación de un programa para la mejora de la calidad de vida en pacientes oncológicas atendidas durante el 2023, se utilizó el total de la población, 7 participantes, con edades entre los 41 y 71 años (media=60.25), aplicándose la totalidad del programa (36 sesiones, 9 meses). Se utilizó la escala de Calidad de Vida (QLQ-30), Ansiedad (GAD-7), Depresión (PHQ-9) y Estrés (PSS-10) en 4 momentos, antes de iniciar el programa (pretest), luego de 3 meses (control 1), posterior a 6 meses (control 2) y por último luego de la aplicación total del programa, 9 meses (control 3). Se realizo el...

Objective. To determine the characteristics of antibiotic prescriptions in pregnant women attended at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute (INMP) from July 2019 to June 2021. Materials and Methods. This is a quantitative, descriptive,retrospective, cross-sectional study. A data collection form was applied to gather variables related to antibiotic prescriptions, and the data were entered into a Microsoft Excel database for analysis using SPSS software. Results. The studyevaluated antibiotic prescriptions in 328 pregnant women, accounting for 10.87% of the total population. The majority (65%) were prescribed a single antibiotic. Urinary tract infections (37.80%) and preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis(54.27%) were the main reasons for prescriptions. Beta-lactams were the most prescribed group (84.14%), followed bylincosamides (14.93%). Most prescriptions were made in the third trimest...
