The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of the Acaro Test technique in detecting Demodex folliculorum. The methodology used was descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. A population of 150 patients was selected, all of whom were requested for a Demodex folliculorum screening, and both the depilation technique (Gold Standard) and Acaro Test were applied. The sample consisted of 120 positive results, with both techniques performed. The results showed that the Acaro Test technique is effective in detecting Demodex folliculorum, producing the same number of positive samples as the Gold Standard. The Acaro Test technique also revealed the presence of various developmental stages, not just the adult stage. In conclusion, the described technique is an effective alternative with high sensitivity and specificity (100%), easy to apply, and provides patient satisfaction, particularly in children, thus increasing the likelihood of obtaining more positive results. Additionally, it allows for longer sample storage and observation of the mite in its different developmental stages.

Effectiveness of the razor of the veil of the operative zone for the prevention of infections in the post-operative
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-01-06) Guerrero Lazo, Jaqueline Victoria; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
Objective: To analyze and systematize the effectiveness of shaving the hair from the surgical site to prevent surgical site infections. Materials and Methods: Design, Systematic Review; 100% (10/10) of the articles are quantitative in type and systematic review study design. The population consisted of 20 articles, and the sample included 10 scientific articles, obtained from databases such as Cochrane Library, British Medical Journal, PubMed, Lancet, Wiley Online Library, subjected to critical reading, and using the GRADE system. Results: Of the 100%, 10/10 articles are quantitative, with 20% (2/10) from the United Kingdom and the USA, and 10% (1/10) from France, Canada, Spain, the Netherlands, Nigeria, and China. Regarding study design, 60% (6/10) of the articles are systematic reviews, 20% (2/10) are meta-analyses, and 20% (2/10) are experimental studies. Conclusions: It is concluded that 80% (8/10) of the articles show that shaving the hair from the surgical site is not effective as it increases the risk of infection, morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Additionally, 20% (2/10) of the articles show that shaving the hair is effective in preventing infections and improving the aesthetics of the surgery.

Efficacy of preoperative shaving to reduce infection at the surgical site of the postoperative patient
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) De La Rosa Mauricio, Yurico Lili; Tabraj Esteban, Rosa Luz; Rivera Lozada de Bonilla, Oriana
The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles on the effectiveness of preoperative shaving in reducing surgical site infection were found in the Cochrane Plus database, all of them correspond to the type and design of Systematic Reviews studies. The reviewed articles state that there are no differences in surgical field infection between patients whose hair was removed or not before surgery. If hair removal is necessary, then hair cutting and depilatory creams cause less infection of the surgical field than shaving with a razor. There is no difference in surgical field infection when patients are shaved or cut the day before surgery or on the day of surgery. The reviews do not find sufficient evidence to demonstrate an effect of preoperative hair removal on a rate of surgical site infection and the relative effects of shaving and waxing. Therefore, it is concluded that there is not enough scientific evidence to define the effectiveness of preoperative shaving or not shaving preoperatively in reducing surgical site infection, therefore shaving or not shaving is at the technical discretion of the head of the surgery team. .
