BACKGROUND: For the last 15 years, infection from Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been recognized in gastritis pathogenesis, and is known to trigger an important inflammatory response in these patients. AIM: To determine the association between follicular gastritis and the infection of H. pylori in children seen at a public hospital in Peru. METHODOLOGY: An analytic, cross-sectional study was conducted on all the children treated at the Hospital Nacional Docente Madre "Niño San Bartolomé" in Lima, Peru, within the time frame of 2011-2012. All the personal data from the patients' medical histories and endoscopic procedures were collected. The crude prevalence ratios (PR) were obtained and adjusted (aPR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), using generalized linear models with the binomial family and log link function. RESULTS: A total of 123 children met the study criteria. ...

Se ha realizado un trabajo descriptivo analítico en 360 recién nacidos varones del servicio de neonatología del Hospital II "Manuel de Torres Muñoz" EsSalud-Mollendo, utilizando el "escrotograma" para determinar las características de los genitales externos. Se ha encontrado que las arrugas escrotales delgadas, juntas y anguladas caracterizan a los recién nacidos menores de 38 semanas, mientras que las arrugas escrotales horizontales, gruesas y profundas son más características en los recién nacidos mayores de 38 semanas, las que se modifican con la edad gestacional (p < 0,01). El rafe escrotal mostró características no descritas en la literatura, peculiares para nuestra raza y a los que se les ha clasificado en: trenza, terminación delta. en varias cadenas, lecho de río, entrecortada y en lecho lacunar. El escrotograma mostró cuatro tipos de "impresiones" lineal, granular,...

El asesor de tesis es un elemento clave, apoya el proceso para obtener el diploma y es incluso él quien alienta a que se publiquen los resultados. Objetivo: determinar los compromisos y factores asociados a la insatisfacción de los asesores de tesis. Métodos: Todos los entrevistados fueron presentadores de tesis de grado de Lima que se graduaron recientemente, y la variable de interés fue la percepción de insatisfacción proporcionada por sus asesores en el proceso de otorgamiento de diplomas. Resultados: 9.3% (nueve) de los entrevistados manifestaron insatisfacción con su asesoría. Siendo considerado investigador (RPa: 0.03; IC 95%: 0.01-0.10), siendo elegido por el asesor (RPa: 0.62; IC 95%: 0.42-0.91), la motivación recibida durante la creación de la tesis (RPa: 0.31; IC 95%: 0.13-0.78), y el estímulo para publicar las tesis (RPa: 0.31; IC 95%: 0.13-0. 78) fueron factores qu...

The aim of this study was to determine the applicability of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the nutritional assessment of two important forage species in the country: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L). For this, 75 samples of alfalfa varieties (SW 8210, WL 625HQ) and 75 of red clover varieties (Quiñequeli, Kendland) obtained from the paddocks of the IVITA El Mantaro Experimental Station, Junín region, Peru were used. Proximal analysis was performed determining the content of crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fibre (CF), total ash (TA) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF), and the spectrum was captured using NIRS equipment. The calibration and validation models were developed to estimate the predictive capacity using Partial Least Squares (PLS), and the accuracy and precision statistics used were the Correlation Coefficient (R), Determinati...
