Se Presentan 12 casos clínica y tomográficamente compatibles con tuberculoma cerebral, estudiados Prospectivamente en el Servicio de Neurología del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen entre Setiembre de 1989 y Setiembre de 1992; Todos los Pacientes recibieron quimioterapia antituberculosa, observándose remisión completa de la sintomatología, así como del patrón tomográfico inicial. El tuberculoma cerebral debe ser considerado en el diagnóstico diferencial de los Procesos expansivos intracraneales y en ausencia de otra evidencia, se justifica la Prueba terapéutica con medicamentos antituberculosos.

As far as we can increase the knowledge about parasitoids or any natural enemy of plagues, contributions are relevant. These groups of insects have an important value, since the help to maintain insect population equilibrium and specially insects that are also plagues in different terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of this work is to report for the first time the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in pupae of the butterfly Quadrus cerialis (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) over seedlings of Piper tuberculatum. These biological observations were made in the Biological Reserve Dr. Rodrigo Tarté, City of Knowledge, Panama province. Six seedlings of Piper reticulatum (Piperaceae); with a mean height of 0.5-1.0 meters, it was located in an open area on the sides of the path, asphalt road inside the Reserve (City of Knowledge). The material was collected and placed in insect hat...

Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) (Diptera: Tephritidae), known as the West Indian fruit fly, is a widely distributed species in America. Due to its polyphagous capacity, this insect is of great economic importance, which is studied based on its distribution, forms of management and control. Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti, 1911) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a native species, solitary endoparasitoid, koinobiont, has a wide distribution in the Neotropics and subtropics, and due to its capacity as a parasitoid of the genus Anastrepha is a potential candidate for the natural control of this pest. The species Psidium guajava L., native to Mexico, is a fruit with high nutritional value and has great relevance from the commercial perspective. In Panama, the information related to the Parasitoid-Anastrepha-Fruit relationship in this species is limited, so it is of high value to establish r...

Evaluación de la toxicidad aguda y la acción hipolipemiante del aceite de Plukenetia volúbilis, SACHA INCHI EVALUATION OF ACUTE TOXICITY AND HYPOLIPEMIC ACTION OF PLUKENETIA VOLUBILIS, SACHA INCHI

It has been observed that some groups of patients had the perception that if they fell ill from COVID-19 they could have greater complications. The aim of this study was to determine the association between fatalistic thinking about the possible infection of coronavirus according to the type of disease suffered by Peruvian patients. An analytical study of secondary data was carried out, which used a previous data to obtain respondents who had a disease (according to 9 groups/medical specialties), and cross-checked this according to fatalistic thinking (from a validated test). Of the 4483 respondents, 15% had a disease. Those with a respiratory disease perceived that they would be complicated post infection (p<0.001), also those with a cancer or tumor (p<0.001) or those with an endocrinological disease (p=0.002). Those who thought they would become depressed if they became ill were those ...

The pandemic caused many changes due to social distancing, one of them is in terms of virtual university classes. Therefore, the objective was to validate an instrument that measures the perception of the effects of COVID-19 on distance education in university students of health sciences and other careers in Peru. An instrumental and cross-sectional study was carried out. Thousands of distance learning students from health sciences and other careers participated during the first wave of the Coronavirus. The survey on the perception that it has of the repercussions caused by the health emergency on face-to-face and distance education was designed and validated; in addition, another scale was exploratory to measure the perception of the spread of the coronavirus. The analysis showed high reliability and good internal consistency, with adequate Cronbach's alpha values. For the Exploratory F...

El complejo del género Anastrepha spp. está formado por especies de importancia económica que infestan una amplia variedad de frutas en la región tropical y subtropical. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir el comportamiento y ciclo biológico asociado al ataque de Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) sobre la especie Spondias purpurea L. Se realizaron observaciones biológicas en Alto de la Arena, corregimiento de Veladero, distrito de Tolé, provincia de Chiriquí, Panamá, donde se recolectaron un total de 12 frutos de Spondias purpurea L., se llevaron al laboratorio y se anotaron los datos del ciclo biológico y de comportamiento diariamente. Se determinó que el ciclo biológico de Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) tiene duración aproximada de 30 a 32 días en el laboratorio; el estado inmaduro de pupa es el estadio que presentó mayor mortalidad, posiblemente debido...
