Nine cases of pyometra occurred is reviewed retrospectively for a period of 15 years in the Archbishop Loayza Hospital Lima-Peru. The diagnosis was established clinically after observation of purulent material escaping through the cervical opening spontaneously or after dilation of the cervix. The average age was 52.5 years. Seven patients were post-menopausal age. The symptoms of malodorous vaginal discharge purulent discharge occurred in seven patients, five of whom attended with fever and general commitment. In no event associated with malignant disease of the cervix or uterus it is found. In six cases enlarged uterus was found and, in all cases, this was painful on palpation. EI preoperative diagnosis was made in four cases. Bacteriological results are limited by not having done anaerobic cultures. All patients received medical and surgical treatment, and its evolution was favorable....

Se estudió la diversidad genética mediante la técnica de RAPD en 37 accesiones de una colección del norte del Perú de “chago” o “mauka” Mirabilis expansa; Se obtuvieron 60 marcadores polimórficos con 9 de 19 iniciadores decaméricos. Se calcularon los índices de iniciador RAPD, obteniéndose los valores más altos con los iniciadores OPA04, OPA09 y OPA13, lo cual sugiere su uso valioso en futuras investigaciones con RAPD en colecciones más grandes o para especies de Mirabilis. Con el coeficiente de Simple Matching y el algoritmo UPGMA se obtuvo un dendograma del cual, a un coeficiente de 1, se observan 31 grupos. Esto indicaría unos 16.216 % de posibles duplicados en la colección de Germoplasma. Con un índice de similitud de 0.85 se encontró que se forman 8 clusters o grupos, sin coincidir en su mayoría con los 5 morfotipos reportados. Además se realizó un...
