Authors: Mendivel Geronimo Ruth Katherine
Published: July 2023

In a natural, non-anthropogenic way, hosts or vectors influence the dynamics of zoonotic cycles in several ways; On the one hand, they determine the geographical and temporal distribution of infectious agents, according to their habitats, their movements and their biological cycles; on the other hand, they determine the intensity and frequency of exposure and contact with humans, according to their habits, their populations and their interactions; and also determine the probability and severity of infection and disease in humans, according to their genetic, immunological and pathogenic characteristics. However, on the other hand, anthropogenic traits refer to human characteristics or activities that influence the dynamics of zoonotic cycles, alter the balance of the principle of opportunity and encounter, susceptibility, exposure, transmission, and adaptability. of etiological agents, as well as the emergence and re-emergence of zoonoses and the response of health systems. Based on the available scientific evidence, the main anthropogenic traits that influence zoonotic cycles in Peru are described and analyzed.

Authors: Salaverry Enriquez Ana Paula
Published: July 2023

The objective of this study was to determine that the decreased lymphocyte/C-reactive protein (L/CRP) ratio is a prognostic factor for mortality in patients with COVID-19. The research had an analytical, observational, retrospective and longitudinal cohort design carried out in 93 patients. The frequency distribution data of qualitative variables and the measures of centralization and dispersion of quantitative variables were obtained. In addition, the Chi Square (X2) test was used, therefore, the associations were considered significant if p was less than 0.05. Finally, among the qualitative variables, the relative risk of the L/CRP index with respect to the risk of mortality in COVID-19 was calculated. Afterwards, the multivariate analysis was carried out with logistic regression for the intervening variables that were significant in the bivariate analysis. In the results, of the 93 patients, it was possible to show that 44.1% died. In addition to this, it was found that age over 60 years, normal lymphocyte counts and decreased values of the L/CRP Index proved to be a risk factor for mortality in patients with COVID-19. In conclusion, the decreased L/CRP ratio is a prognostic factor for mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Authors: Frisancho Camero Miluska
Published: July 2023

Free-living amoebas (AVLs), such as Acanthamoeba, Naegleria, Balamuthia, and Vermamoeba, have been identified in both natural and man-made settings, such as hot springs and spas. Naegleria fowleri causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis, while Acanthamoeba and Balamuthia cause chronic granulomatous encephalitis. Acanthamoeba can also cause skin lesions and amoebic keratitis. This study aimed to identify the presence of these protozoa in 4 beaches and marine sediments on the Peruvian coast. The beach water and sediment samples were collected in a sterile manner and transferred to the laboratory for the identification of the AVL and the determination of the bacteriological quality of the water samples. The AVL most identified was Acanthamoeba both on the beaches and in the sediments of Totora, Boquerón, Talareño and Cangrejito, followed by Heteramoeba and Mayorella. Although infections due to pathogenic amoebas are considered rare, these deadly amoebas have recently been detected on beaches along the Peruvian coast. This is of particular concern, especially as global warming further exacerbates the problem.
La inteligencia espacial en la identificación taxonómica del Sarcoptes scabiei (De Geer, 1778)
Authors: Ticllacuri Huamán Yaquini
Published: July 2023

To improve the diagnosis of sarcoptic mange, the use of spatial intelligence techniques is proposed, which combine the digital analysis of images with computer and statistical tools, in the morphometric study of lines, shapes, textures, colors and anatomical patterns that facilitate the taxonomic identification to the species level of Sarcoptes scabiei. Contour geometric morphometry was estimated for biological forms lacking landmarks and Gaussian responses for anatomical structures. Significant differences were found in the shape and size of the mites found in patients who live with domestic dogs and those who do not; The former presented smaller mites, with a more rounded shape, a less convex abdomen, and longer and thinner chelicerae than the latter; these findings are consistent with previous studies that have demonstrated the existence of genetic variability among S. scabiei populations associated with different species, as well as the possibility of zoonotic transmission between domestic animals and humans. Taxonomic identification at the species level through special intelligence techniques acquires an important role not only in the differential diagnosis of mange or sarcoptic mange, but also in the integrated treatment of the patient that considers the health control of living pets.

Published: July 2023

The post-COVID-19 syndrome (SPC) groups symptoms, functional and psychological sequelae that last weeks or months after it. They can cause a difficult return to work, which is why a specific protocol is required for the proper assessment of disability/work capacity and aptitude. In this context, a study was carried out to estimate the applicability of reinstatement plans for workers with SPC and a medical order for occupational readmission in a company. For this, the number of workers positive for COVID-19 was specified by the epidemiological surveillance system, selecting an intentional sample made up of those who presented sequelae according to the treating medical reports, 21 days after the onset of symptoms. They were subjected to the stress test and SEVECO-19 was applied. For labor reinstatement, the Hanlon method was used. The results showed that 19.49% presented SPC. The most frequent symptoms were respiratory (47.83%), neurological (28.26%), musculoskeletal 17.39% and metabolic 6.52%. Using PERLA, a rehabilitation program is proposed for the effective reinstatement of the workers under study, corresponding to 56.52% of high applicability, 13.04% of good applicability, 13.04% of low applicability and 17.39% non-applicability plans. applicable. 100% of the workers with non-severe or mild sequelae were successfully reinstated. It is concluded that it is essential to correctly assess the physical and psychological condition, such as early care, of people with SPC, as a guarantee of the best and fastest recovery of lost health.

Published: July 2023

The unprecedented growth of urban populations has placed enormous pressure on the quality of life with regard to housing, water and energy supply, and this is reflected in the deterioration of the quality of water, air and soil. A decrease in environmental quality due to the generation of waste in these urban centers, especially wastewater, is an important and growing concern. For this, improvement processes for these effluents have been proposed and one of them is the use of efficient microorganisms (EM), in the understanding that bacterial metabolism determines the effectiveness of biological treatment of wastewater. A protocol was designed with five treatments with three repetitions, a control or T0 without ME concentration, T1 2.5% ME in the V/V ratio (volume of solute and volume of solvent).; T2 5%; T3 7.5% and T4 10% to determine the effect of these bacteria in septic sludge in the Huando 2021 district. The organoleptic color and odor characteristics were substantially favored with the presence of ME. Likewise, the concentrations of dissolved solids, ammonium, biochemical oxygen demand; and very in particular, a considerable reduction of the colony-forming units of fecal coliforms. These systems are an alternative for wastewater treatment, they are economical, easy to install, operate and maintain, and are widely used to meet residential demands.

Authors: Yamil  Saipe Hugo
Published: July 2023

In this research, soil contamination in household environment with soil-borne parasites species in dwellings of a periurban neighborhood and a shantytown in northeast of Argentina was described and associated with sanitary variables. Each house evaluated was considered as a unit of analysis. The samples were analyzed under three different techniques: centrifugal sedimentation; Willis Molloy flotation and flotation with Sheather's solution. Out of the 30 houses analyzed, 12 (40.0%) presented at least one parasitic forms in soil samples. We recorded three taxa, the most prevalent were nematodes larvae (related to hookworms), reported in the 30% of dwellings followed by Toxocara canis and Trichuris vulpis eggs and Cytoisospora canis oocyst in the 3,3% of houses. No statistical association was observed between soil contamination and the sanitary variables (p > 0.05). These preliminary results demonstrate that domestic environment soil could represent a high potential for infection and re-infection for humans, principally young children and their pets.

Authors: Raghunandana P  , Beena K Parikh
Published: July 2023

Background: General anesthesia induces endocrine, immunologic, and metabolic responses. Certain anesthetic drugs affect the hemodynamic variables of the patient by various mechanism. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of propofol and dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic parameters in robotic renal transplant surgery. Methods: This was a prospective comparative study performed in a tertiary care center. After local ethics committee approval and written informed consent, a total of fifty-two patients of ASA physical status 3 of either sex were randomly selected for this study. They were scheduled for elective robotic urological procedures of around three hours under general anaesthesia and divided into two groups (each group containing 26 patients). According to the haemodynamic requirement inj. dexmedetomidine maintainence(0.2 – 0.7mcg/kg/min) infusion and propofol(25 -75 mcg/kg/min) infusion started and maintained respectively. The measurements were taken on the same arm throughout the study at the following times: baseline,after loading dose,after intubation, after 20 min after the pneumoperitoneum, after 60 minutes of the pneumoperitoneum, after infusion stopped, after extubation. Results: Heart rate and mean atrial pressure changes were significantly lower in dexmedetomidine group in all stages compared to propofol group (P < 0.001). Also, the rises in blood glucose and serum epinephrine levels in the dexmedetomidine group were significantly higher than in the propofol group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Anesthesia maintenance by dexmedetomidine showed a significant difference in hemodynamic parameters in comparison with propofol. While dexmedetomidine had better effects on controlling hemodynamic parameters, propofol showed better effects on decreasing stress hormones, and it can be suggested for LC surgery.
Role of MDCT neck in evaluation of neck masses: Our experience
Authors: Fathima Febin Salu  , GS Sabhikhi  , Saurabh Panday
Published: July 2023

A mass in the neck in adults is a common entity that we customarily encounter in our clinical practice. Diagnosis of these neck masses can be challenging owing to the intricate anatomy and physiology, with a myriad of presenting complaints. Neck masses can be due to multiple causes classified as congenital (eg cystic hygroma), lymphadenopathy, inflammatory or neoplastic (malignant or benign). Various imaging modalities have been applied for the evaluation such as plain x-rays, contrast studies such as lymphogram, xerography and oesophagogram etc. However, these are neither sensitive nor specific in diagnosing the aetiology of neck masses. CT being non-invasive and non-operator dependent depicts excellent quantification of tissue attenuation coefficients and is exceedingly useful in defining both the osseous and soft-tissue extent of the lesion. With the upcoming of newer generation Multidetector CT Scanners (MDCT) have made tremendous improvements in scanning time, tissue resolution and quality of three dimensional (3D) reconstructions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of MDCT in neck masses.

One hundred and eighty patients wearing Joint Prostheses for at least 2 years with endodontically treated abutment teeth have been recruited; the evaluation of the quality of prosthetic restoration was established according to the criteria of Hickel R while the quality of the root canal filling was judged according to the criteria of Schaeffer MA. The frequency of LIPOE on the abutment teeth was 59.4%. The results highlighted that inadequate quality of prosthetic restoration and root canal filling is associated with the occurrence of LIPOE with a highly significant difference (p˂0.000) In order, to reduce the prevalence of LIPOE and mitigate its effects, it is essential to follow the rules of the art when considering mechanical and biological imperatives during endodontic treatment, as well as good training in prosthetic restoration.

Wastewater pollution and its treatment is an ever-increasing concern in the century because of the higher industrialization and urbanization. The expansion of industries is the leading cause of polluting water resources. A discharge from industries contains various organic and inorganic pollutants. The heavy metals which are mostly discharged from the industries include Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Copper (Co), Chromium (Cr), and Lead (Pb). These metals are toxic to human health and other living organisms. Water is an essential natural resource that reserves important flora and fauna on the earth. Therefore, it is necessary to remediate contaminated water from organic and inorganic pollutants. Chemical precipitation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, chemical oxidation, reduction ultrafiltration, electrolysis, and adsorption are some treatment processes used to remove heavy metals from wastewater effluent. Adsorption is the most promising technique used for the removal of water pollutants. This review surveys the various natural adsorbents used to remove water pollutants. Natural adsorbents are the most effective and low-cost adsorption techniques in which plant residuals (leaves, stems, roots, straw, etc.) are used to remove water pollutants from wastewater.
