Benefits of oropharyngeal colostrum administration in very low birth weight preterm infants
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-12-20) Benavides Chávez, Maria Alejandra; León Cáceres, Johanna del Carmen
Oropharyngeal administration of colostrum consists of promoting the immunocompetence of cytokines contained in colostrum in the oropharynx, in the lymphoid system with which it has a relationship with the intestine, in order to provide a barrier against bacterial colonization. The present secondary research titled as a critical review: Oropharyngeal Colostrum Positively Modulates the Inflammatory Response in Preterm Neonates aimed to evaluate the effects of oropharyngeal breast milk administration on inflammatory signaling in extremely premature babies. The clinical question was: Is there a positive relationship between the administration of oropharyngeal colostrum in very low weight premature newborns on inflammatory markers? The CASPE critical reading tool methodology was used for the Clinical Trial, which has a level of evidence I and a strong Grade of Recommendation, according to the researcher's expertise. The critical comment allowed us to conclude that administering colostrum during the first days would have a therapeutic effect at an anti-inflammatory level, so starting at an opportune time could contribute positively to the tolerance of oral feeding.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-09-03) Vigo Tafur, Livia; León Cáceres, Johanna del Carmen
Determine the factors associated with the Body Mass Index in health workers at a hospital in Lima: 93 workers from the health facility were studied, including women and men between 19 and 60 years of age. The assessment of the nutritional status of the workers was carried out using the Body Mass Index and Percentage of Body Fat. The associated factors were determined by physical activity, tobacco consumption, time spent performing physical activity, consumption of alcoholic beverages, consumption of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and fat consumption. The study revealed that 72% of workers have a weight within normal ranges, 19% have a Body Mass Index > 25 kg/m2. Furthermore, we have that 72.2% of workers have an inadequate level of body fat. 41% of workers do not perform physical activity or are sedentary and a similar percentage performs physical activity of 30 to 60 minutes a day. 53% of workers consume alcoholic beverages, 92% do not consume fruits and vegetables, 78% do not consume dairy products and 92% of workers consume fats. There is a significant relationship between Body Mass Index and body fat percentage. Having inadequate body fat showed a significant association with body mass index. Thus, 100% of the population with BMI > 25 kg/m2 and 87.5% of workers with a Body Mass Index within normal ranges have an inadequate body fat percentage. Other variables such as physical activity, tobacco consumption, alcohol, fruits, vegetables, dairy products and fats did not have a significant association.
