Background and objective: Andean lupin (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) has health benefits with promising possibilities for food industry. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of processing (water debittering, extrusion, and spray-drying) on chemical composition, heat damage and in vitro protein digestibility in Andean lupin. Findings: The processing treatment modified all the parameters while the genotype showed limited effect. The untreated lupins had high protein and lipid content (47.4 and 16.2 g/100 g dry matter). The extruded products showed higher protein content (55.7 g/100 g) and digestibility (68.1%) than the untreated lupins, along with limited heat damage (8.7 mg furosine/100 g protein). Spray-drying led to the lowest protein content (31.8 g/100 g) and, when maltodextrin was used, the highest heat damage (54.1 ± 20.7 mg furosine/100 g protein; 0.60 mg hydroxymethyl...

Objetivo: Identificar los factores determinantes de la fecundidad en adolescentes atendidas en el hospital "Carlos Monge Medrano" de Juliaca. Material y métodos: Aplicación de una ficha de datos demográficos, sociales, culturales y económicos a una muestra representativa de 230 adolescentes entre 15 y 19 años atendidas en nuestro hospital. Se establece asociación entre los factores y la fecundidad con la prueba chi cuadrado. Resultados: La fecundidad en las adolescentes fue de 66,52%. Entre los grupos de edad, porcentajes similares de adolescentes ya eran madres, tanto el 62,50% de adolescentes de 15 años, como 66,67% de adolescentes de 19 años. Entre las convivientes el 69,50% eran madres, y entre las solteras el 46,67% eran madres, diferencia significativa. La fecundidad de las adolescentes que viven con sus padres es de 47,83%, de las que viven con sólo un padre es de 76,47% ...

Background: Trichosporon fungaemia (TF) episodes have increased in recent years and mortality rates remain high despite the advances in the management of sepsis. New concepts about its clinical course, treatment and microbiology need to be investigated for the better management of this infection. Objectives: To describe the aetiology, natural history, clinical management and prognostic factors of TF. Methods: TF episodes documented between 2005 and 2018 in 23 South American centres were retrospectively investigated by using a standard clinical form. Molecular identification, antifungal susceptibility testing and biofilm production were also performed. Results: Eighty-eight TF episodes were studied. Patients had several underlying conditions, including haematological diseases (47.7%), post-operative status (34%), solid organ transplants (n = 7, 7.9%), among others. Seventy-three (82.9%) p...
