The average growth of Peru GDP reached 6 per cent during the 2001-2007 period. However this growth was not in parallel with the microeconomic wellbeing. During this years, the poverty rate decreased 2.7 percentage points in contrast the GDP growth of 27.5 percentage points. As a consequence, searching for high economic growth rates is not enough for reaching a significant decrease of poverty and inequality. In this sense, an effective way might be the promotion of wealth growth initiatives in specific regions with high potential. In order to get a real impact in the poverty reduction it is necessary to change the institutional framework which foster a better environment for the private investment. This article is based on theorical findings and empirical case studies based on local and international experiences. The idea is to suggest ways by which it is possible to link the poor with op...

In spite of the fact that annual social investment in Peru has risen to an average of US$ 1.000 million, the limited efficacy of social programs in Peru generates an annual cost of approximately US$ 90 million plus the exclusion of at least 3,5 million children. To deal with this, this paper proposes the creation of a Social Inclusion Fund (FIS, for its initials in Spanish) based on the fusion of 49 social programs that annually spend S/. 2,52 billion from the budget.The FIS would benefit those who live in extreme poverty and its interventions would be defined according to social gaps analysis. Once these gaps are identified, they would provide an input into preparing –with civil society participation– a «road map» that facilitates the accomplishment of well-defined targets by 2011. This would encourage a results-based management that would permit closer collaboration with the priv...

The article presents a discussion of the different variables of analysis of an economic group: the strategies of growth (integration, diversification, and relation with the financial system) as well as the levels of relation with the State, foreign capital and other economic national groups. The outline of the analysis proposed is applied studying the historical development of the Romero group since its establishment in Catacaos (Piura) until the organizational structure obtained in 1985. The authors finish with a global interpretation of the growth dynamic of the Romero group, establishing, tentatively, causality relations from the variables presented in the outline of analysis.

Background: There is currently no gold standard biomaterial for the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects (PIDs). One of the current options is the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Objective: To determine the clinical effect of PRF in the treatment of PID through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted up to February 2017 in the following biomedical databases: Pubmed, Embase, Scielo, Science Direct, SIGLE, LILACS and in the Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials. The selection criteria included: randomized clinical trials published in the last 5 years, reporting clinical effects (probing depth, clinical insertion level or gingival recession), with a follow-up time equal to or greater than 6 months, and sample size larger than or equal to 10 patients reporting the use of PRF as a treatment for PID. The methodological qua...

The Albizia lophantha extract (T1: 0 mg of extract/ml of nutritive cultivation [mg/ml], T2: 0.04 mg/ml, T3: 0.08 mg/ml, T4: 0.12 mg/ml) was used to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic effect on gastrointestinal nematodes of horses. Higher inhibition in the hatching of eggs (T4: 43% and T3: 11%, respectively) and lower in the survival of larvae in the treatments of high doses (T4: 0% and T3: 0% at 36 and 60 hours after applying the extract respectively) (p=0.0001). The A. lophantha extract was effective in the in vitro control of gastrointestinal nematodes of horses.

Se observó mayor inhibición en la eclosión de huevos (T4: 43% y T3: 11%) y menor supervivencia larval con dosis altas (T4: 0%, T3: 0% a las 36 y 60 horas después de aplicar el extracto, respectivamente) (p=0.0001). El extracto de A. lophantha fue eficaz en el control in vitro de nematodos gastrointestinales de caballos.
