Objective: To determine the influence of depression on suicidal ideation in students from the Peruvian jungle. Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in a university population of the Peruvian jungle. The dependent variable was "suicidal ideation" and the independent variable was "depression", both measured through the Birleson and Beck scales, respectively, which were modified for Peru. These variables were cross-checked and adjusted using other variables. Results: There is a strong association between suicidal ideation and depression (p-value < 0.01). In addition, university students with depression were more prone to have medium-high suicidal ideation (PR: 7.1, 95 % CI: 3.8- 13.2). Other behaviors that were associated with the degrees of medium-high suicidal ideation were: perceiving to have little chances of being happy in the future (RP: 0.4, 9...

La investigación tiene como objetivo la elaboración de un sistema de aprendizaje inmersivo haciendo uso de la realidad virtual, aplicado al estudio de la anatomía humana en la Facultad de Medicina Humana de la Universidad Nacional de Ucayali, el problema de investigación es la técnica tradicional de aprendizaje utilizando por los alumnos y docentes de la Facultad de medicina humana de la Universidad Nacional de Ucayali, la cual consiste en el estudio de imágenes en 2D de los diferentes cortes sagitales, coronales y mediales que luego son contrastadas con un cadáver real, esta técnica utilizada actualmente en la facultad de medicina humana de la Universidad Nacional de Ucayali genera una gran brecha entre la teoría y la práctica, los resultados obtenidos durante el test muestran la dificultad que tienen los estudiantes para trasladar los conceptos y teorías de los diferentes se...

Budd-Chiari syndrome is caused by an obstruction of blood flow to the liver. Published cases of the antiphospholipid syndrome associated with BCS are limited in the pediatric population. We report a 15-year-old adolescent who presented with fever, ascites, and hepatosplenomegaly. Hepatic Doppler ultrasound revealed no flow in the right and middle hepatic veins and in the inferior vena cava. Abdominal tomography revealed extensive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. During hospitalization, she was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. She was given treatment with unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, and anticoagulants. Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to the antiphospholipid syndrome is a life-threatening disease. Timely diagnosis and treatment improve the quality of life of the patient.
