(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-08-25) Cachay Barboza, Edwar Paul; Bohórquez Medina, Andrea Lisbet
Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and hypertriglyceridemia, characteristic conditions of diabetes mellitus, are closely related to greater cardiovascular damage and this leads to a higher rate of morbidity and mortality, lower quality of life, and higher costs in the health care system. The objective was to analyze the effect of omega-3 supplementation on reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in adults with diabetes mellitus. The Evidence-Based Nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. The information search was carried out in PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, finding 165 articles, 11 being selected that have been evaluated by the CASPE critical reading tool, finally selecting the article “An omega-3 fatty acid plasma index ≥4% prevents progression of coronary artery plaque in patients with coronary artery disease on statin treatment”, which has a level of evidence A I and Grade of Strong Recommendation. In conclusion, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids in doses between 1 to 4 g/day does not support the recommendations for use in people with diabetes mellitus and/or with a history of coronary heart disease for the prevention or reduction of fatal coronary heart disease. non-fatal myocardial infarction or any other cardiovascular event.

Effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus infrared tympanic temperature measurement in neonates
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-08-12) Fasabi Amasifuen, Angelica; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus tympanic infrared temperature measurement in neonates. Materials and Methods: The study conducted is a quantitative comparative design with a systematic review. The population consisted of 40 articles, of which 10 articles were selected based on the research study, as only these articles were relevant to the topic under investigation. The databases used were Elsevier, Lilax, Ebsco, Epistemonikos, PubMed, and Cochrane. A critical and intensive evaluation of each article was performed, and based on this, the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation for each article were determined using the GRADE method. Results: From the systematic review of the articles, 100% of the articles showed that 20% were from the USA, Turkey, and Nigeria, respectively, and 10% from India, Chile, and Sudan. Regarding the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus tympanic infrared temperature measurement, 80% (n=10/8) agreed that rectal temperature measurement is more effective and safer in neonate interventions; from this, it can be inferred that it can be implemented in clinical settings. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles, 8 demonstrated the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement using a mercury glass thermometer in newborn interventions (neonates).

Effectiveness of the Glasgow Blatchford scale in predicting treatment needs in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in emergency services
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-01-05) Carhuaricra Ciriaco, Ana María; Castillo López, Mauricio; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Glasgow Blatchford scale in predicting the need for treatment of patients with upper digestive bleeding. Material and Methods: A systematic review of international research is carried out, obtained through databases: Epistemonikos, NCBI, PubMed, Elsevier, and Scielo, which have been analyzed in the GRADE system. The search has been carried out using the DECS and MESH descriptors for the search in Spanish and English respectively. 30% (3/10) of the articles reviewed correspond to China, and the remaining 70% (7/10) correspond to Canada, Jamaica, Holland, Vietnam, India, Turkey, and Mexico respectively. Results: 80% (08/10) of the evidence indicates the effectiveness of the Glasgow Blatchford scale in predicting the need for treatment of patients with upper digestive bleeding and 20% (2/10) indicates the non-effectiveness of The Blatchford scale in predicting the need for treatment of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in emergency services. Conclusions: 8 of 10 evidence demonstrate that the Glasgow Blatchford scale is effective in predicting the need for treatment of patients with upper digestive bleeding, and 2 of 10 evidence demonstrate that the Glasgow Blatchford scale is ineffective in predicting the need for treatment. need for treatment of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in emergency services.

Exactitud del método Atlas de Londres en la estimación de la edad dental en población peruana, 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-11-21) López Olanda, Alisson Ilene; Chumpitaz Jauregui, Robert Ivan
El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la exactitud del método Atlas de Londres para la estimación de la edad dental en individuos peruanos de 4 a 15 años, atendidos en un centro imagenológico, Lima – 2023. El método de la investigación fue deductivo, de enfoque cuantitativo y de tipo básica; de diseño no experimental descriptivo. La población estuvo conformada por 300 ortopantomografías de personas (4 a 15 años) que acudieron a la clínica Medical Dent Digital Centro de Diagnóstico por Imagen; y la muestra fue de 249 ortopantomografías seleccionadas de manera no probabilística intencional, y que además cumplieron con los criterios de selección. La técnica utilizada fue la observación; empleándose como instrumento una Ficha de recolección de datos, que fue validado por Juicio de expertos y la prueba de confiabilidad se obtuvo mediante el Índice de Kappa de Cohen, la cual mostró una alta confiabilidad. Resultados, se halló que el método Atlas de Londres, sobrestimó la edad cronológica (con 39 casos), seguido por una subestimación de la edad cronológica (con 35 casos); mientras que 175 casos fueron coincidentes entre las edades cronológica y dental; asimismo, el valor “ρ” fue de 0.986 (p=0.000). Además, se halló que el método tuvo una exactitud significativa en los grupos etarios (todas con un p<0.05) y en ambos sexos (p<0.05). Se concluye que el método “Atlas de Londres” tuvo una exactitud significativa para la estimación de la edad dental en la muestra participante de 4 a 15 años, puesto que se observó una correlación positiva muy alta entre las variables edad cronológica y edad dental.

The Sterilization Center as a unit in charge of providing the different hospital services, surgical and procedure area, material and instruments in optimal conditions of sterility, makes use of the different sterilization methods. In this academic work, the steam sterilization method is highlighted, monitoring the process continuously and systematized, guaranteeing the effectiveness of the method in the final product through the verification of indicators. Objective: Monitor steam sterilization by verifying indicators at the National Cardiovascular Institute – Incor 2021. Materials and Methods: Study with a quantitative approach, descriptive methodological design, cross-sectional retrospective. The population will be made up of 260 first steam sterilization cycles and the sample will be 110 records taken in a simple random manner, corresponding to the month of June. The collection technique will be structured observation and the instrument will be a checklist, a construct developed by the author, which includes 25 items grouped into 3 dimensions, with dichotomous responses. The instrument was subjected to expert judgment with tests of validity and reliability at an acceptable level. Each checklist will be applied respecting ethical principles.
