Análisis del consumo de café y su relación con los efectos en la salud en personas con hipertensión arterial que acuden a boticas de la urbanización Los Alisos. Callao, 2024
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-04-11) Bonilla Mundaca, Lucerito Mayde; Mamani Yauyos, Julia Cristina; Llahuilla Quea, José Antonio
Coffee has established itself as one of the most popular and widely consumed beverages worldwide and has been the subject of studies on its impact on cardiovascular health, especially blood pressure. Despite its high prevalence, the effects of caffeine on the risk of hypertension remain uncertain. Some studies suggest that regular coffee consumption may increase this risk, while others find no significant relationship. This lack of consensus is of concern, as hypertension is a key factor in cardiovascular disease, a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. Objective: “To evaluate the relationship between coffee consumption and health effects in people with arterial hypertension”. Methodology: This basic research used a quantitative approach and a hypothetical-deductive method, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design, whose scope was descriptive-correlational, through the application of 384 surveys to people with arterial hypertension who consume coffee and go to the different drugstores in the Los Alisos urbanization, Callao. Results: A direct and significant relationship was obtained (Rho=0.512), indicating that greater coffee consumption (time, frequency and type) is related to greater health effects. Conclusion: Coffee consumption is related to health effects in people with arterial hypertension who go to the drugstores in the Los Alisos urbanization, supported by the p value <0.05, rejecting the null hypothesis.

The consumption of benzodiazepines is closely related to medico-legal aspects, as it is associated with criminal acts such as theft, crimes against sexual integrity, doping, and, from a clinical-legal perspective, dependence. Objective: To determine a selective technique by Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) for the identification of benzodiazepines. Method: Thin-layer chromatography was employed as a selective identification technique for benzodiazepines. Urine samples were collected from 26 healthy volunteers who had previously been administered benzodiazepines. The analysis was conducted in the toxicology laboratories of Norbert Wiener University and the National University of San Marcos (UNMSM). Results: Thin-layer chromatography tested positive for benzodiazepines and other substances (phenobarbital and phenytoin) in 80% of the urine samples analyzed. It is suggested that confirmatory techniques, such as gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), be used. Conclusion: Thin-layer chromatography was determined to be a highly sensitive technique, but not specific for benzodiazepines.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-08-12) Guimarey Martin, Mercedes Tatiana; Reategui Curimozon, Judy; Llahuilla Quea, José Antonio
The purpose of our research work is to evaluate the levels of lead and cadmium in French fries and, consequently, the toxicological risk to consumers in ten well-known rotisserie chicken restaurants (“pollerías”) in the district of Cercado de Lima. A total of 64 samples, each equivalent to 250 g of French fries, and 370 surveys were collected to assess the toxicological risk. The concentration of metals was determined using the Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry method at CICOTOX. The results showed lead concentrations ranging from a minimum of 0.0040 mg/kg to a maximum of 0.0463 mg/kg, with an average of 0.073 mg/kg. For cadmium, the minimum was 0.03230 mg/kg, the maximum 0.81020 mg/kg, and the average 0.21100 mg/kg. Based on these concentrations, the estimated exposure dose was calculated as DE Pb = 0.0000000052 mg/kg/day and DE Cd = 0.0000000151 mg/kg/day. In conclusion, the concentration of lead (0.0073 mg/kg) in French fries was significantly lower in comparison with cadmium (0.2110 mg/kg), which was significantly higher than the maximum permissible limit established by the CODEX STAN 193-1995 of the WHO/FAO (0.1 mg/kg). According to the toxicological risk assessment methodology of PAHO/WHO, in the district studied there is evidence of a minimal toxicological risk from exposure to the analyzed factors.

Evaluación de riesgo toxicológico en personas expuestas, que consumen Beta vulgaris “Betarraga” cruda y cocida con posibles concentraciones de plomo y cadmio comercializada en el mercado de Chancay – Huaral, Lima 2019
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-02-06) Tarazona Guerrero, Janelle del Carmen; Condori Caceres, Soledad; Llahuilla Quea, José Antonio
The agricultural soils of the Chancay–Huaral river basin are located in areas close to industrial centers, and these industries are characterized by emitting high concentrations of metals such as lead and cadmium. Toxicity studies on plant organisms cultivated in these soils are scarce, and it is unknown whether they may produce toxic effects. The vegetables cultivated in these soils may be exposed to deposits of toxic substances from nearby sources such as air, soil, or irrigation with contaminated water, thus constituting another point of contact for exposure in the population of the Chancay area. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to evaluate the toxicological risk in individuals who consume raw and cooked Beta vulgaris “beetroot” with possible concentrations of lead and cadmium commercialized in the Chancay market. For this purpose, beetroot samples sold in the Chancay market were collected, and the concentrations of lead and cadmium were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The beetroot samples presented average concentrations of lead of 4.45 µg/kg in cooked samples, while in raw samples the average was 10.32 µg/kg. With respect to cadmium, the average concentration was 2.67 µg/kg in cooked beetroot and 2.62 µg/kg in raw beetroot, all below the permissible limits. As a result of the toxicological risk assessment in individuals exposed to raw or cooked Beta vulgaris “beetroot,” a hazard index with values below 1 (HI < 1) was obtained. In conclusion, there is a low toxicological risk to health in the population of Chancay who consume raw and cooked beetroot with the presence of cadmium and lead at concentrations that do not exceed the permissible limits established by the Codex Alimentarius.
