Se determinaron las concentraciones séricas de colesterol total (CT) y triglicéridos de 400 personas que acudieron a un centro asistencial del Cercado de Lima, en Lima Metropolitana, con edades comprendidas entre 20 y 70 años, entre los meses de octubre de 2008 a enero de 2009 y se relacionaron dichos parámetros bioquímicos con las siguientes variables: edad, sexo e índice de masa corporal (IMC). Los valores medios obtenidos fueron: CT: 169,66 mg/dL; triglicéridos: 161,76 mg/dL, e IMC: 27,01 kg/m2. Se encontró que para el CT, 60,5% tenía niveles normales y 39,5% presentaba hipercolesterolemia. Para los triglicéridos, 50,8% tenía niveles normales y 49,3% tuvo hipertrigliceridemia. En cuanto al IMC, 2% tenía IMC bajo; 34,8% IMC normal; 38% sobrepeso y 25,3% obesidad. Se halló relación estadísticamente significativa al confrontar los niveles séricos del CT con la edad (p=0.0...

Mycotoxins were determined by ELISA in soybeans for birds in production in the province of Chincha. 100 % (20/20) samples from 20 mills in the districts (Chincha Alta, Pueblo Nuevo, Grocio Prado, Sunampe and Alto Larán) were positive for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OA) and T toxin - 2. Maximum allowed levels (NMP) for AFB1 (10 ppb), OA (50 ppb) and T-2 toxin (150 ppb). OA and T-2 toxin, with 20 % and 60 % above the NMP. Risk of acute ochratoxicosis due to the consumption of soybean mills (Grocio Prado, Sunampe and Alto Larán) and acute mycotoxicosis by T - 2 toxin, from the districts of Chincha, except Chincha Alta. However, the main alteration of human and animal health due to mycotoxin is related to chronic exposure (cancer induction, renal toxicity and immunosuppression)4.

Objectives: To analyze non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments in patients with joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS). Methods: It is a systematic review of research papers, where the PRISMA recommendation was followed looking for scientific articles published in Redalyc, Eric, Sciencedirect, Latindex, Scopus, Alicia, Elsevier, Pubmed, LILACS, SciELO, EBSCO, and Google Scholar, during the period 2017 to 2021. Results: From the initial total of 261 019 studies corresponding to the search, without applying filters, four articles were selected, all of which describe non-pharmacological treatments considering physical therapy as the most adequate and effective alternative to strengthen and re-educate the joints, in order to reduce pain temporarily. You should not overexert yourself and you should respect the limitations of each patient; otherwise, it would be detrimental to health. O...

Objective. To determine the characteristics of the prescription-indication of antibiotics in pregnant women at the Nacional Maternal Perinatal Institute (INMP), July 2019 - June 2021. Materials and Methods. The research was of basic type, deductive method with quantitative approach of non-experimental design, cross-sectional and retrospective. The sample consisted of 328 medical records, the information was collected in a validated instrument, the database was created in Microsoft Excel and then analyzed by the SPSS program. Results.  A moderate level of 73% was identified with respect to antibiotic prescription-indication characteristics. The most frequent indications were preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (31.7%) and urinary tract infection (28.66%). The obstetrician-gynecologist specialist was the one who prescribed the most (95%) and there was a higher frequency of prescriptio...
