(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-12-20) Marca Lizama, Silvia Lucía; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
Over the last few years, researchers have been studying certain phytochemicals present in different foods and their beneficial effect on people's health; polyphenols being one of the most investigated types of phytochemicals. The “Punica granatum” pomegranate has polyphenols such as: ellagic acid, punicalagin, among the most important; They have been studied in different non-communicable conical diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In the present secondary research titled as Critical Review: Anti-inflammatory effect of Punica granatum in patients with cardiovascular disease; whose objective was to know the effect of pomegranate consumption on pro-inflammatory biomarkers, serum lipid levels and blood pressure levels. The clinical question was: Would the consumption of pomegranate (Punica Granatum L.) or its bioactive components produce anti-inflammatory effects in patients with cardiovascular disease? The evidence-based nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. The search of the scientific literature was carried out in Spanish and English. The databases consulted were SCOPUS, WOS, PUBMED/MEDLINE AND EMBASED. 28 articles were found and 9 were selected, for which the CASPe tool was used. The selected study was “The effects of pomegranate supplementation on biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction: A meta-analysis and systematic review”. The critical commentary revealed that the consumption of substances derived from pomegranate could help reduce inflammatory biomarkers, as well as serum lipid levels and blood pressure.

Application of the NRS - 2002 as a tool for nutritional screening in hospitalized adult patients.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-08-09) Vargas Vera, Claudia Danitza; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
Hospital malnutrition in the Peruvian population is currently a problem that has not been addressed correctly due to the lack of standardized nutritional screening tools. Currently, nutrition professionals use different tools like VGS, MUST, NRS-2002, but the latter has not been validated by any study in our population to assess its effectiveness. The NRS-2002 is a nutritional screening tool that provides scores to determine the nutritional risk of each patient. This secondary research, titled "Critical review: Application of the NRS-2002 as a nutritional screening tool in hospitalized adult patients," aimed to determine the effectiveness of using NRS-2002 as a nutritional screening tool in hospitalized adult patients.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-06-22) Ponce Mora, Giannina; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
Nutritional intervention plays a fundamental role in improving the quality of life of children with refractory epilepsy. In this critical review, titled “Effect of the Ketogenic Diet on Seizure Reduction in Children with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy,” the aim was to assess the effectiveness and tolerance of two dietary approaches: the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD) and the traditional Ketogenic Diet (KD). The main clinical question was: Will the ketogenic diet, whether in its classic or modified version, have an effect on seizure reduction in children of both sexes with refractory epilepsy? An Evidence-Based Nutrition (EBN) criterion was employed. 25 scientific articles were identified, and 12 relevant studies were selected for analysis, evaluated using the CASPE critical reading tool. Finally, a randomized clinical trial titled “Modified Atkins Diet versus Ketogenic Diet in Children with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy: A Meta-Analysis” was chosen, considered relevant due to its level of evidence I and strong recommendation grade, according to the author's experience. This study provided promising results by demonstrating that both ketogenic nutritional therapy, in its classic (KD) and modified (MAD) versions, significantly reduced seizures and/or achieved seizure freedom. The adverse effects associated with both therapies can be managed through careful monitoring and follow-up. Both treatments showed acceptable tolerance and can be considered as options within the framework of nutritional intervention for these patients.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-07-13) Morales Rios, Edith Jacinta; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
Breast cancer is currently the cancer that affects women with the highest prevalence, positioning itself as the type of cancer with the highest mortality rate worldwide. On the other hand, vitamin D is one of the micronutrients with various fundamental metabolic and physiological functions in some organs of the human body, such as the liver, heart, lungs, intestines, bones, and mammary glands, where it acts as a vitamin receptor. D (VDR). In addition, it exerts immunomodulatory and antiproliferative effects, therefore, evidence-based research is required to analyze the importance of this vitamin in the prevention, development, as well as treatment of breast cancer. By virtue of the above, the present research: “critical review: Relationship between serum levels of vitamin D and the risk of breast cancer”, aimed to identify the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D and the risk of breast cancer. . Therefore, the following research question was asked: “Are low levels of vitamin D related to an increased risk of breast cancer in adult women?” The search for scientific articles was carried out in five scientific bases, SCOPUS, PUBMED, EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE, SCIENCE DIRECT. 121 articles were found, of which 23 were selected by carrying out the evaluation, and selection of the article for the critical comment, which is a systematic review and meta-analysis titled: “Vitamin D and breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies”, with the highest level of evidence and recommendation (I and I respectively).

Critical review: risk of metabolic syndrome associated with rotational work in health professionals
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-07-06) Sampi Carmona, Elita Victoria; Bohórquez Medina, Sofia Lorena
This study will address the nutritional implications for healthcare personnel, focusing on factors such as night shift rotations, which play an important role in lifestyle, preventing a completely healthy life, and making it difficult to provide better patient care. The clinical question was: Are healthcare workers on night shifts more exposed to metabolic syndrome compared to those who do not work rotating shifts, due to nutritional impact? The Evidence-Based Nutrition (EBN) Network was used. The search was conducted in MEDLINE, SCIELO, PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, SCOPUS, where previous research pointing to our clinical question was found, relating nutritional habits and the development of metabolic syndrome with night rotating shifts. In conclusion, according to the readings of all the research found, there is a strong correlation between poor dietary habits and healthcare workers' night shifts, as this type of schedule negatively affects eating habits, increasing rates of overweight and developing metabolic syndrome, which is a precursor to life-threatening diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary disease, and stroke.
