Abstract The leiomyosarcomas of the inferior vena cava are tumors so rare that it is estimated below 200 welldocumented and published patients. Its incidence is higher in women and frequently appear between 50- 60 years. They originate in the muscle cells of the middle layer of the venous wall, present an extraluminal growth, being more rare to find exclusively intraluminal growth and have, in general, a slow progression and a poor prognosis. The symptoms are nonspecific causing the diagnosis to be made late; This generates great comorbidity despite its slow growth. The diagnosis is made through imaging and guided biopsy, but the exact origin of the tumor is usually discovered during the surgical procedure and especially after the definitive histological study. Surgical treatment is the only one that has described changes in survival. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with a diag...

Introduction: Surgical treatment of esophageal cancer remains a challenge despite advances in surgical technique, pre-operative care, postoperative care and postoperative complications. Objective: diagnosis and updated management in the surgical treatment of cancer in the national hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins - EsSalud. Methods: Patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer who were admitted to the surgery service at the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins - EsSalud national hospital during 2017 were selected. Patients of both sexes were included, starting at 20 years of age. . For the selection of the sample, it was stratified by age and sex according to the diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Results: Fourteen patients with esophageal cancer were diagnosed by means of the clinical history, laboratory exams, endoscopy with biopsy, cervical abdominal thoracic tomography, and contrasted d...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Hearing loss or hearing loss in the elderly is generally caused by degenerative changes typical of aging and can influence the cognitive deterioration of the person, which is manifested by different changes in memory as age increases. Objective: To determine the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive impairment in the elderly. Method: Descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. Otoscopy, audiometry and the Pfeiffer questionnaire were performed in 104 adults over 65 years of age, who attended the Otorhinolaryngology service of the Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital. The otoscope, the audiometer and the Pfeiffer questionnaire were used as instruments. Analyzing the relationship using Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient. Results: Hearing loss was found in 58 cases (55.8%) and normal hearing in 46 cases (44.2%). When applying the Pfeiffer question...
