Introduction: International guidelines on aid prior to invasive procedures usually generate longer aid than in intensive care (IT) patients. This fact represents a high risk of malnutrition and, consequently, a worse prognosis. The objective of the present investigation was to analyze the degree of association between the fasting time prior to tracheostomy of patients under mechanical ventilatory assistance (MVA) and the appearance of pneumonia. Methods: Retrospective cohort study that included patients admitted to our IT from 10/01/2018 to 08/31/2022 and with a tracheostomy performed. Two cohorts were defined characterized by fasting ≤3 hours vs. >3 hours. Fisher's exact test and …

Forensic Genetics is defined as a field of knowledge that uses both genetic concepts and molecular tools. This is used to resolve cases in which it is desired to identify the identity of people allegedly involved in a criminal act, kinship ties, identification of missing persons, etc. Currently, Forensic Genetics mainly uses molecular markers of the type STRs (short tandem repeats), SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and insertion/deletion INDELs)(1). In order to use these markers, it generally begins with DNA extraction, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction, capillary electrophoresis and analysis with specialized software to obtain a genetic profile that is unique …

Strongyloidiasis commonly causes gastrointestinal problems. We present the case of a male, a 30-year-old cadet in the Peruvian Navy from Lima, who developed a hyperinfection syndrome due to Strongyloides stercoralis, having a presumptive diagnosis of polymyositis for which he received a short cycle of corticosteroids. He was not a carrier of the HTLV 1/2 virus. Upon admission, he presented with hyporexia, generalized weakness, cachexia, intermittent self-limited diarrhea, oral intolerance, and mild abdominal distension. The patient reached the dissemination stage, resulting in severe intestinal damage. The low excretion of larvae in the feces made the diagnosis difficult. Treatment was provided with …

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that, although typically develop in the visceral pleura, occasionally occur in the intracranial cavity. Furthermore, they are characterized by high rates of metastasis and recurrence. Case Report: We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient with a 3-month history of headache and bradyphrenia. Computed tomography revealed a neoformative tumor infiltrating the nasal cavity, ethmoid sinuses, and anterior cranial fossa, involving the left frontal lobe. The patient underwent two exploratory craniectomies, during which diagnoses suggestive of high-grade glial neoplasia and SFT were made. For precise diagnosis, immunohistochemistry was performed, which was …

Introduction: Sarcina ventriculi is a Gram (+), anaerobic, non-motile cocci, with a fermentative carbohydrate metabolism, that survives and grows without problems in environments with acidic pH. It is a known etiological agent in veterinary pathology, however its pathogenic role in humans is controversial. In recent years, the finding of this microorganism in different anatomical places has been reported in humans with increasing frequency, predominantly in the upper digestive tract, mainly in the stomach, in patients with dyspepsia and/or delayed gastric emptying, some of these cases with serious evolution, even fatal. Clinical case: we report the case of a patient with …

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana
Thanatophoric dysplasia type 1 is a form of lethal skeletal dysplasia, characterized by axial-appendicular skeletal disproportions as well as short stature, frontal bossing, cloverleaf skull, narrow chest, femoral bowing, and micromelia. These phenotypic characteristics are the result of pathogenic variants in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR-3) gene, located on chromosome 4p16.3 For its study, obstetric ultrasound, physical examination and radiographic findings are important. However, the diagnosis must be confirmed by genetic study in order to discover new variants or associations, as well as to reveal its actual casuistry in a certain region.

Infectious sacroiliitis is a rare condition that is sometimes diagnosed late due to the poor specificity of the symptoms. In addition, imaging techniques such as scintigraphy, tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance are required to assess the extent and severity of the lesions. If early diagnosis and treatment are made, the clinical evolution is satisfactory and leaves no sequelae. Clinical case: the case of an 83-year-old female patient is presented, with a history of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection, who presented with moderately intense colic-like abdominal pain, afebrile, and reported that at …

Objective: Identify associated factors with emergence delirium in children in the Post-Anesthetic Recovery Unit of a Pediatric Health Specialized Institute in Peru. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in children from 2 to 6 years old, physical status classification I and II, in elective procedures under anesthesia. The main variable was the presence of emergence delirium evaluated with the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale greater than or equal to 10 points. To identify the factors associated with delirium, the Poisson regression model was applied and a p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of the 150 children, it was found that the incidence of emergence delirium occurred in 10.6%. Of these, 81.4% were under 5 years of age, pain was significantly associated in 37.5% with PR = 3.63, 95%CI [1.20, 10.1] and it was observed that 68, 8% required palliative care. Conclusion: Pain was associated with delirium of postanesthetic emergence in children. Prevention and treatment of emergence delirium should focus on postoperative pain control and careful monitoring of patients after surgery.

It argues that medical interpretation is a vital service that should be required in all healthcare settings, not just in those that are funded by the government.

There are different options for reducing heavy metal pollution in the environment via remediation efforts, including physical, chemical, and biological methods. However, physical and chemical remediation can be costly and labor-intensive, making them unsuitable for regions that do not have the funds to utilize these practices. Biological remediation is a more cost-conservative practice that has been shown in many studies to be effective in the gradual …
