Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a infección necrosante de partes blandas. Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo, analítico de casos y controles, con todos los pacientes mayores de 15 años (349) hospitalizados por infección de partes blandas en el Hospital Belén de Trujillo, durante Enero del 2003 a Diciembre del 2007. Resultados: 66 pacientes presentaron infección necrosante de partes blandas (casos) y 283, infección no necrosante (controles). El tipo de infección necrosante de partes blandas con mayor presentación fue fascitis necrosante (79%), y en las no necrosantes, los abscesos (46,3%). No hubo relación entre el sexo y la infección necrosante de partes blandas, resultados similares con la obesidad; mientras que sí encontramos que una relación con el tiempo de hospitalización (>18 días). Las variables con significancia estadística, encontradas como fa...

Objective: To compare the triglyceride lowering effect of gemfibrozil against that of Sacha Inchi oil in Rattus rattus var albinus. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six animals were used. They were divided in two experimental groups (GE1 and GE2) and a control group (CG). The animals underwent a conditioning stage for two weeks, afterwards they were fed with fat-rich meals; and later, the animals from the two experimental groups received Sacha Inchi oil and gemfibrozil, respectively. Serum triglyceride levels were measured at the beginning of the trial, after receiving the fat-rich food and after one and two weeks receiving the test drugs. Results: Serum triglyceride levels had 45,57%, 44,83%, and 27,24% reductions in GE1, GE2 and CG groups, respectively, after two weeks receiving the test drugs. The mean difference of triglyceride values in GE1 and GE2 groups after one and two weeks receiv...
