    OSTEOPOROSIS POR DÉFICIT DE VITAMINA D
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2024-06-10) Pacheco Chingo, Jhoselyn Vanesa; Recalde Navarrete, Ricardo Javier
    Around the world, approximately 9 million people suffer at least one fracture due to osteoporosis, which makes it one of the main public health problems because it is associated with high costs, job losses and lower quality of life. Osteoporosis is a chronic and silent disease that is characterized by loss of bone mass, lower muscle resistance and increased risk of fractures and, although it is prevalent in women, it also affects men. In Ecuador, 19% of adults over the age of 65 suffer from osteoporosis. This pathology is of multifactorial origin, with vitamin D deficiency being an important cause, since it is involved in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, useful elements for bone formation. For this reason, it is essential to establish preventive measures focused on this area to reduce the appearance of the pathology and its consequences.

    TRASPLANTE DE MICROBIOTA FECAL Y SUPLEMENTACIÓN DE VITAMINA D EN EL SÍNDROME DE INTESTINO IRRITABLE
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2024-06-07) Buitrón Carrera, Lizbeth Rosana; Torres Torres, Johny Mauricio
    Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common and chronic medical problem. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and vitamin D supplementation have been proposed as potential treatments. Objective: The objective of our systematic review was to investigate the efficacy of FMT and vitamin D supplementation in the treatment of IBS. Methodology: A comprehensive search was conducted in relevant medical databases to select studies that evaluated FMT and vitamin D supplementation in patients with IBS. Both randomized clinical trials and observational studies were included. Results: The studies included in the review demonstrated that FMT and vitamin D supplementation improved IBS symptoms compared to control groups. The combination of both therapies showed promising results. Conclusions: The results indicate that FMT and vitamin D supplementation could be effective treatments for IBS. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and establish treatment guidelines.
