    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-11-17) Pichilingue Estupiñan, Jackeline Andrea; Chaname Trelles, Melina Haira; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of honey in the treatment of acute cough to reduce severity, frequency, and improve sleep quality in children aged 1 to 5 years. Material and Method: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search was restricted to 10 full-text articles. The reviews of the articles were obtained from the following databases: Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Dialnet, Scielo, and Lilacs. They were analyzed using the Grade scale to determine the strength and quality of the evidence. Of the 10 articles, 70% (7/10) were randomized clinical trials (RCTs), 10% (1/10) were systematic reviews, 10% (1/10) were experimental studies, and 10% (1/10) were cross-sectional studies. The articles came from Canada 20% (2/10), Saudi Arabia 10% (1/10), Iran 10% (1/10), Nigeria 10% (1/10), Malaysia 10% (1/10), Italy 10% (1/10), Chile 10% (1/10), Egypt 10% (1/10), and Brazil 10% (1/10). Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% (10/10) showed that honey is effective in the treatment of acute cough to reduce severity, frequency, and improve sleep quality in children aged 1 to 5 years. Conclusions: The articles, 100%, show that honey is effective in the treatment of acute cough to reduce severity, frequency, and improve sleep quality in children aged 1 to 5 years, by boosting the immune system, with antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects.

    Effectiveness of honey dressings in the management of chronic wounds in improving tissue reepithelialization
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-10-13) Orellana Espinoza, María Isabel; Encalada Torres, Rossio Sandra; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
    Objective: To review the evidence on the effectiveness of honey bee dressings in managing chronic wounds and improving tissue reepithelialization. Methodology: This is a quantitative study, with a systematic review design. The population consisted of 40 articles, and the sample was 9 scientific articles published and indexed in scientific databases. The instrument used was a database search: Cochrane Library, Scielo, British Medical Journal, PubMed, Online Library, EBSCO. The GRADE system was used for evaluating the articles, which assessed the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations. Results: All articles (100%) are from the USA. Regarding the study designs, 40% are case-control studies, 20% are meta-analyses, and 40% are systematic reviews. Conclusion: 90% of the studies show the effectiveness of honey bee dressings in managing chronic wounds, improving reepithelialization, reducing pain, and improving scars. 10% of the meta-analysis concludes that many of the included studies have methodological issues and that the quality of certain studies is low, which complicates the formulation of definitive guidelines.
