The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxicological risk due to exposure to soils with the presence of lead and cadmium in areas surrounding the Infantas Industrial Park in Los Olivos - Lima (2018). 40 soil samples were taken, 20 samples in the Carabayllo urbanization and 20 samples in the Villa del Norte urbanization. It was obtained that the concentration of Pb and Cd in Urb. Carabayllo had a mean of 66.97 mg / kg and 0.86 mg / kg; for Urb. Villa del Norte it is 51.43 mg / kg and 0.73 mg / kg respectively. The concentrations obtained comply with the Environmental Quality Standard (ECA) of the Ministry of the Environment of Peru. The Exposure Dose (DE) was estimated in the Carabayllo urbanization, for adults, a DEPb = 0.000143 mg / kg / day and DECd = 0.000002 mg / kg / day were obtained; and for children, a DEPb = 0.002494 mg / kg / day and DECd = 0.000032 mg / kg / day. In t...

El objetivo de esta tesis es establecer la relación que existe entre el nivel de información práctica y la capacidad de autocuidado que tienen los pacientes con Leucemia Linfática Aguda sometidos a tratamiento con quimioterapia en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas — 2016. Material y método: El presente estudio fue de tipo descriptivo, correlacional, de corte transversal y prospectivo. La población estuvo constituida por 60 pacientes con leucemia linfática aguda sometidos al segundo tratamiento de quimioterapia. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta y dos cuestionarios tipo escala de Likert. Resultados: El nivel de información práctica sobre el autocuidado en los pacientes con Leucemia Linfática Aguda sometidos a tratamiento con quimioterapia; es mayormente medio 56.7% (34), seguido de bajo 23.3% (24), y alto 20% (12). Según dim...

En América del Sur, el TEC tiene la tasa más alta notificada y una de las principales causas de muerte entre los niños menores de 15 años. A nivel nacional, el trauma es la principal causa de muerte en niños de 1 a 14 años y el TEC representa el 57,3% de los casos. El objetivo fue describir el rol de enfermería en el cuidado neurológico del paciente pediátrico con traumatismo encéfalo craneano. El estudio fue de enfoque cualitativo, tipo estudio de caso. Se obtuvo numerosas observaciones que muestran como los cuidados neurológicos están estrechamente relacionada con las afecciones respiratorias. Siendo el cuidado neurológico que se brinda de gran importancia, debido a la injuria secundaria respiratoria; es imprescindible el plan de cuidado integral teniendo como apoyo los protocolos que disminuyen la probabilidad de error; aumentan la unicidad de criterios entre los miembros...

A study was carried out to determine cadmium in onion (Allium cepa) in districts of Metropolitan Lima. For the execution of the study, 30 samples were collected of which 10 of them are from North Lima (San Martin de Porres, Los Olivos, Independencia, Comas and Puente Piedra), 10 samples from Lima Center (Cercado de Lima, Jesús María, Pueblo Libre, La Victoria and Rímac) and 10 exhibitions in South Lima (Chorrillos, Villa María del Triunfo, Villa el Salvador, San Juan de Miraflores and Surco). 2 random samples were taken per district and the place of origin of the same was inquired. Cadmium quantification was performed by the atomic absorption method - Graphite Furnace at the Chemical Analysis Services Unit - USAQ (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos). The minimum and maximum cadmium concentration in onion was 0,02 mg / mg and 0,11 mg / kg, respectively; In addition, the average ...

Heavy metals generate adverse effects on health at different levels, including, for some metals, the carcinogenic effect, which is why the presence of these substances in food for many countries such as Peru, is considered a public health problem. The objective of this study was to evaluate the health risk associated with the consumption of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) with the presence of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead in metropolitan Lima. Thirty samples of tomato were taken from the main supply points in metropolitan Lima and the region of origin was determined. The samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry at the Centro de Información, Control Toxicológico y Apoyo a la Gestión Ambiental - CICOTOX. The mean concentration of arsenic in tomato was 0,1908mg/kg, this level exceeded the standard defined by Mercosur (0,1mg/kg). Likewise, the mean lead concentra...
