Objective: Todetermine the factors associated with knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) about tuberculosis (TB) in the Peruvian population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical study was carried out by conducting a virtual survey. The instrument that was used consisted of 4 sections: sociodemographic variables (9 questions), knowledge (23 questions), attitudes (9 questions), and practices (8 questions) about tuberculosis. Univariate and bivariate analyses and the Poisson regression model with robust variance were used to obtain crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRa). Results: The sample consisted of 1284 participants. Regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices about TB, an insufficient level was found in 47.97%, 50.3%, and 54.36% of the cases, respectively. The variables that increased the probability of having sufficient knowledge were sex, grade, area, fami...

Introduction: Although body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) are the most commonly used obesity markers in clinical practice regarding depression, some studies suggest that other obesity markers such as waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), and conicity index (CI) may be more accurate in identifying patients with depression. Objective: To determine the relationship between different markers of obesity and the presence of symptoms of depression. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. A secondary analysis was conducted on the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) from 2018 to 2021. The main variable of the present study was the depression score. Numerical variables were presented as mean and confidence interval at 95 % (CI 95 %). A generalized linear model of the Gaussian family and Identity link function was performed ...

Introduction: According to global health estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) injuries represent 8% of world deaths. There are systematic reviews that relate lactate and mortality in trauma patients but do not focus on multiple trauma patients. Objective: To determine if elevated lactate is a mortality factor in multiple trauma patients. Methodology: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies were carried out. The search was carried out in 4 databases: PUBMED, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. Data were pooled using a random effects model and summary statistics were calculated using odds ratios (ORs) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: Nine studies were included (n=5302). A significant association was found between elevated admission lactate with mortality (OR: 1.80; 95% CI 1.11 to 2.91) and 72-hour mortality (OR: 1.24; 95...

La investigación realizada tuvo como objetivo general determinar la relación entre los esquemas disfuncionales tempranos y la dependencia emocional en un grupo de estudiantes universitarios de primer ciclo de una universidad privada. Se evaluaron a 150 estudiantes de ambos sexos, rango etario entre 17 a 19 años de edad, quienes se encontraban cursando el primer ciclo de la carrera profesional de Psicología. Se empleó el Cuestionario de Esquemas Disfuncionales de Young (YSQSF), elaborado por Young y Brown en 1994, adaptado por Vallejos en el mismo año; y el Cuestionario de Dependencia Emocional (CDE), propuesto por los autores Lemos y Londoño en 2006; ambos cuestionarios fueron validados para fines de la investigación con una muestra piloto. Los resultados indican que existe una relación positiva y significativa entre los esquemas disfuncionales tempranos y la dependencia emocion...

Introduction: It seems that the risk of developing diabetes cannot be predicted solely based on weight or BMI. Metabolic phenotypes might offer a more precise tool for identifying patients at higher risk of diabetes, thus enabling more effective and targeted preventive interventions. Objective: To determine the association between these metabolic phenotypes and the risk of diabetes. Materials: Systematic Review (SR) with a meta-analysis of cohort studies. The search was carried out in four databases: Pubmed/Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and EMBASE. Metabolic states were classified into six groups: Metabolically Healthy Normal Weight (MHNW), Metabolically Unhealthy Normal Weight (MUNW), Metabolically Healthy Overweight (MHOW), Metabolically Unhealthy Overweight (MUOW), Metabolically Healthy Obesity (MHO), and Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity (MUO). Association measures were presented as...
