    Prevalencia de anemia en adultos mayores de 65 años en la Asociación Jurídica de Adultos Mayores de la parroquia Chiquicha, cantón Pelileo, provincia Tungurahua
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2024-03-05) Torres Chuncho, Washington Paul; Rosero Freire, Daniela Alexandra
    Anaemia in the elderly is a common condition, which is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Currently 10% of elderly people living in rural communities suffer from anaemia, which affects their lifestyle. Although studies show that anaemia in the elderly is a major problem, there are currently few studies in rural areas in Ecuador that report on the epidemiological status of this condition. The objective of this research was to establish the prevalence of anaemia in members of the Legal Association of Older Adults of the Chiquicha Parish, Pelileo Canton, in the province of Tungurahua. A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out in which a general prevalence of anaemia of 8.3% was obtained. A complete haemogram was carried out in which haemoglobin values, haemacytometric indices and reticulocyte percentage were obtained, which allowed us to establish that the anaemias were of the normocytic normochromic normochromic and regenerative normocytic type of mild degree. It was concluded that the presence of anaemia in older adults was mainly correlated with the coexistence of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism.

    Infecciones parasitarias intestinales en niños de 5 a 9 años en la parroquia Ambatillo del cantón Ambato

    Infections caused by intestinal parasitosis have a high prevalence rate worldwide, especially in Latin America, focusing on the first years of a child's life and school age, in areas where poverty abounds and lack of basic services and information on how parasitosis acts on a child. The objective of this research project was to determine whether there is a relationship between parasitosis, hemoglobin values as well as body mass index in children between 5 and 7 years of age in Ambatillo parish, canton Ambato. To carry out this project, 70 blood samples were taken to determine hemoglobin values, and 70 stool samples were taken to carry out a copro-parasite examination using the Faust technique. It was established that of the 70 children, 81.4% are parasitized, that is, (57) children of which 64, 9% are mono-parasitized samples, and 35.1% are poly-parasitized samples. The parasite that most predominated in these samples was Blastocystis sp. in 48.2%; followed by Entamoeba coli cyst in 27.7% and Endolimax nana in 15.7%. Regarding the BMI, 90% of normal weight and 4.2% low weight, through the evaluation of Hemoglobin normal values were evidenced representing 67.1% and 24.3% low values of hemoglobin, it should be noted that a survey was carried out in which certain risk factors where similarity with other investigations is found, finally it is determined that there is no relationship between Parasitosis, low hemoglobin levels and low BMI (malnutrition).

    Infecciones parasitarias intestinales en niños de 5 a 9 años en la parroquia Cunchibamba del cantón Ambato
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-09-21) Jaya Bonifa, Adriana Elizabeth; Valenzuela Sánchez, Gabriela Paola
    Intestinal parasitic infections mainly affect school-age children, it is very common in underdeveloped countries and poor communities. Among the main symptoms are decreased desire to eat, discomfort in the abdominal area, problems in the digestion process, episodes of diarrhea and difficulties in the absorption of nutrients, which can result in retarded development and growth of children. The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between parasitism with hemoglobin levels and body mass index in children from 5 to 9 years old in the Cunchibamba parish of Canton Ambato. In order to obtain the hemoglobin levels 76 blood samples were analyzed in of each child and 76 stool samples to identify parasites using the Faust or flotation technique. In addition, weight and height anthropometric data were taken to calculate the BMI. It was found that 77.6% of the population had parasites, 41% of them presented monoparasitosis and 59% had polyparasitosis. The study reveals that 99.1% of the parasites were Protozoa and 0.9% Helminths. Among the parasites that were identified are Blastocystis spp. with 41%, Entamoeba coli in 22%, followed by Endolimax nana in 20% and Giardia lamblia in 7%. The Entamoeba Complex, Chilomastix mesnili and Iodamoeba butschlii were also present, although to a lesser extent, with percentages of 6%, 3% and 1% respectively. Regarding Helminths, Hymenolepis nana eggs were identified in 1%. It was not possible to establish a relationship between the presence of parasites with the BMI and the presence of parasites with the hemoglobin values.

    Identificación de un factor de corrección para hematocrito y hemoglobina, realizado entre un método automatizado y un método manual
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-23) Toapanta Tenicota, Katherine Alexandra; Guangasig Toapanta, Víctor Hernán
    The investigation was carried out with the purpose of identifying a correction factor for hematocrit and hemoglobin, carried out between the automated method and the manual method, which will provide the Laboratory of Biochemical and Bacteriological Analysis of the Technical University of Ambato with support to provide results with a high level of precision and reliability so that the clinician can establish an adequate diagnosis and later give an ideal treatment to said alteration. According to this type of research, the approach is quantitative-qualitative. The research was carried out in a sample of 197 male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 27 who come for examinations in the Biochemical and Bacteriological Analysis laboratory. The correction factor was for hematocrit 1.0 with standard deviation 0.02% and for hemoglobin 1.1 with standard deviation 0.07%, based on the average of the differences of the V.real/V.theoretical. In my study the correction factor was obtained, but it was not applied to the results obtained because the difference is not clinically significant..I have considered that clinical laboratory personnel must responsibly abide by all standardized procedures for both the manual andautomated methods to obtain reliable results with a minimum percentage of error.

    Parasitosis intestinal y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Totoras del cantón Ambato
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-22) Mejia Chisaguano, Andrés Paúl; Valenzuela Sánchez, Gabriela Paola
    The main objective of this research was to determine intestinal parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age in Totoras, Ambato, Tungurahua province, since one of the most recurrent problems today are diseases caused by intestinal parasites, mainly in developing countries and they are highly prevalent, generally, due to improper sanitary manipulation of food, many factors such as unhealthy conditions are related to parasitic infections, lack of hygiene and socioeconomic deficiencies. The total population was 100 children, of whom samples of feces were analyzed to identify parasites and check them using the Faust technique and blood samples to determine hemoglobin levels, in addition to applying a series of questions to collect important information. It was determined that 55% of the total population presented intestinal parasitosis, among the parasites, there is a high prevalence of Blastocystis sp of 35%. The main risk factors associated with intestinal parasitosis are inadequate housing infrastructure, low level of education of legal guardians, and lack of good deworming control of both the child and the animals around them. There is a significant relationship between intestinal parasitosis and low hemoglobin levels; however, there is no relationship between the presence of parasites and the degree of malnutrition in children between 5 and 9 years of age in Totoras parish.
