Las enfermedades respiratorias ocupacionales, especialmente aquellas que afectan la vía aérea superior, son un problema significativo en la salud laboral. Estas patologías, como la rinitis ocupacional, rinosinusitis, síndromes laríngeos e infecciones de vía aérea superior se asocian a la exposición a diversos factores como contaminantes atmosféricos y condiciones ambientales desfavorables. La presente revisión narrativa busca analizar y sintetizar la evidencia disponible sobre estas enfermedades y los factores laborales que se asocian, con el fin de contribuir a la prevención y manejo en los ambientes de trabajo. La revisión narrativa cualitativa considerará estudios observacionales y ensayos clínicos que investiguen la relación entre las enfermedades de la vía aérea superior y los factores laborales. Se incluirán artículos realizados en trabajadores mayores de 18 año...

Introduction: Sexuality is a complex area in women, especially in those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer (BC). Objective: To evaluate whether there is an association between breast cancer (BC) and sexual dysfunction (SD) in adult women in a national reference hospital of Social Security in Peru. Method and sample: We carried out an analysis in 167 women under 60 years of age, which were divided into two groups: with BC (after mastectomy and without mastectomy), and without cancer. We used the validation of the Spanish version of the Female Sexual Dysfunction Index. We made a comparison among women with BC and without cancer (A). Additionally, we carried out two exploratory comparisons: among women with BC after mastectomy and without mastectomy (B); and another among women without BC, with BC after mastectomy, and with BC without mastectomy (C). We estimated crude prevalence ra...

Burnout syndrome affects nursing professionals and its relationship with working conditions is crucial. Objective:. Determine the association between SB and working conditions in nurses in a Peruvian hospital during 2020, in the context of COVID-19. Research. Prospective and analytical study, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and a validated questionnaire on working conditions. Data were analyzed with association tests. Findings. Of 88 nurses, 12% had BS; 42,1% considered their working conditions adequate. A significant association was found between SB and global conditions of the work environment (p < 0,001). An increase in the working conditions score reduced the tendency (PR = 0,83; CI = 0,73-0,94; p = 0,004) and presence (PR=0.65; CI = 0,56-0,76; p < 0,001) of SB. Conclusions. Improving working conditions is positively linked to a decrease in SB in nurses in surgical centers.

The adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is key to the therapeutic success of HIV patients and associated to depressive symptoms (DS) in several studies. However, there are few publications regarding mid-aged women; a period in which the menopausal status could play an important role.
