Objective: To determine the impact of health insurance in the economy of Peruvian households during the 2010-2019 period. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study that used the database of the National Peruvian Household Surveys from years 2010, 2014, and 2019, aiming to analyze the impact of health insurance in terms of pocket money spending for health issues, catastrophic healthcare spending, and impoverishment in Peruvian households, and also to determine the presence of other associated factors. Results: During the study period, it was observed that Peruvian households reduced their monthly average pocket money spending for health issues (119.9 PEN in 2010 and 107.9 PEN in 2029), as well as the percentage of household with catastrophic healthcare expenses (4.06% in 2010 to 3.47% in 2019), and the percentage of households who became impoverished because of pock...

Introduction: Diverse natural products of the Annona genus has been used in the treatment of the cancer. Annona cherimola has diverse pure compounds of its seeds and stems that have demonstrated antitumor activity against nasopharyngeal carcinoma.   Objective: To determine the cytotoxic effect of the Annona cherimola seed extract on the cell lines MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma), ME-180(epidermal carcinoma of the cervix), K562 (chronic myeloid leukemia) and 3T3 (normal mouse fibroblasts).   Materials and methods: The lines MCF-7, ME-180, K 562 and 3T3, were exposed to four concentrations of the Annona cherimola seed ethanolic extract (0.125, 0.031, 0.008, 0.002mg/mL), also to different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (0.01563, 0.00391, 0.00098, 0.00024mg/mL) and Cisplatin (0.00250, 0.00063, 0.00016, 0.00004mg/ mL) which were used as a positive control...
