El propósito del estudio fue describir las características clínicas, anatomopatológicas, tratamiento y supervi-vencia de los pacientes con cáncer de tiroides diferenciado. Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectiva con datos de 150 pacientes de un hospital peruano entre los años 2010 al 2020. Se describieron las características y supervivencia (método de Kaplan-Meier). La media de edad fue 48,3 años, 130 (86,7%) fueron mujeres y el tipo histológico más frecuente fue el papilar 94,6%. El 74,2% tenían estadio TNM I, 70,7% tiroidectomía total y 68,7% recibió yodo radiactivo. La supervivencia global a los 5 años fue 89,3%, siendo menor en aquellos con estadio TNM IV y mayor en los que usaron yodo radiactivo. En conclusión, en un hospital de Cusco, el cáncer diferenciado de tiroides fue más frecuente en mujeres y la supervivencia fue menor en comparación con reportes d...

Durante las últimas décadas, la incidencia de cáncer de tiroides ha aumentado notablemente en países como Estados Unidos, Corea del Sur, Reino Unido y en varios países europeos. Es el cáncer con el aumento más rápido y si se mantiene sus tendencias actuales, será el cuarto cáncer más común en 2030. El objetivo es conocer las características clínicas quirúrgicas y supervivencia del cáncer de tiroides en el Hospital Nacional Adolfo Guevara Velasco, 2010 2015. Se realizó un estudio de tipo observacional, retrospectivo. Se estudiaron a todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de tiroides en el periodo de estudio. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante el instrumento elaborado en base a las variables del estudio. Se describió las características clínicas-quirúrgicas del cáncer de tiroides y también se analizó las características clínicas y quirúrgicas ...

Background. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of the embryo in the lining of ​​the endocervical canal lining. It represents less than 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. Case description: We report two patients who come to the emergency room for transvaginal bleeding. The diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy was made by transvaginal ultrasound (7- and 8-weeks' gestation). Treatment was started with methotrexate (28-year-old patient) and methotrexate-folinic acid (35-year-old patient). Due to the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin hormone, it was decided to perform an abdominal hysterectomy (28-year-old patient) and McDonald-type cervical curettage-cerclage (35-year-old patient). There were no complications after surgery in both patients. Conclusions: The treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy is controversial. The most appropriate therapy should be chosen to preserv...

Diabetic foot is one of the main complications of diabetes mellitus; however, in hospitals of provinces from Perú, the relationship of this condition with hospital stay has not been calculated. Objective: To determine the association between hospitalization time and diabetic foot in three hospitals from Cusco, Perú. Methods: A cross-sectional study of secondary data analysis was conducted. We analyzed the data of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to the internal medicine service between January and December 2016, in three tertiary hospitals in Cusco, Peru. Correlation coefficients and p-values were calculated using generalized linear models, with Gaussian family and identity function, adjusted by intervening variables. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 153 patients, 14% (21) had a diabetic foot diagnosis, and their median age wa...

Objective: determine the perception of the causes and possible consequences of events dangerous to the health of Peruvian workers. Material and Methods: multicenter analytical cross-sectional study, in fourteen Peruvian cities, inquired about the perception of the causes and possible consequences that had caused the dangerous health events. We searched for associations between the variables. Results: 1772 workers had a work incident, due to the distraction of the worker (66%) and the one that was not signaling the danger (44%); the most serious repercussions would have occurred in the worker (74%) and his family (66%), but it meant a great economic loss for the company. Conclusions: it was found that the perceptions of the consequences of a work incident could affect workers, family and company, these results should be considered to improve working conditions and the information that emp...

Introduction: The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased worldwide. Peru has few reports describing the national and regional epidemiology of thyroid cancer. Objective: The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased worldwide. Peru has few reports describing the national and regional epidemiology of thyroid cancer. Methods: A descriptive study of trends was conducted with secondary data obtained from a public information source in Peru. The ICD 10: C73.0 coding record was evaluated, by age group, year and region. The age-standardized prevalence (period 2005 to 2016) and mortality (period 2005 to 2015) were calculated by region and year of study. Results: In the 2005-2016 period, 19 513 cases of thyroid cancer were recorded. The age group with the highest frequency was 30 to 59 years (57.7%). The prevalence increased from 4.7 to 15.2 cases per 100 000 inhabitants in the period 2005-2016...
