    ARTRITIS REUMATOIDE JUVENIL: UNA SOSPECHA DIAGNÓSTICA POCO CONSIDERADA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2024-09-24) García Mera, David Fernando; Cruz Castillo, Yessenia Magaly
    Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis defined as a chronic, degenerative pathology of unknown etiology, in which the autoimmune nature is present and unlike adults whose arthritis will affect them throughout their lives, children can overcome this suffering, without leaving aside the multiple consequences or complications. Worldwide, it has a prevalence of 3.8- 400/100,000 children, making it the most common chronic rheumatological disease in this population. Its incidence worldwide is approximately 1.6-23/100,000 children under 16 years of age/year. The methodology used was descriptive, data and information were collected from scientific articles in English and Spanish published from 2019 to 2023 in different databases. A review of the literature was obtained detailing data on the prevalence, incidence, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Clinically there is a predominance of inflammation at the joint level, pain and morning stiffness, accompanied by erythema and heat to the touch in said joint, on certain occasions there are marked skin eruptions, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and serositis for which several classifications have been established. Diagnosis is based on history and physical examination; laboratory findings are useful to identify the subtype and possible treatment options. Historically, treatment emphasized the use of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while today methotrexate is the drug of choice in several subtypes of JIA, this being not the only one.

    ACTUALIZACIÓN DE LOS FACTORES DE RIESGO PARA CÁNCER TESTICULAR
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2024-06-10) Chamorro Ortiz, Tatiana Alexandra; Parra Rosero, Andrea Catalina
    Introduction: Testicular cancer is a common neoplasm in young men aged between 15 and 40 years. It significantly affects a man's quality of life and reproductive function; however, it has a 90% cure rate and a 95% survival rate in those who are diagnosed early. Nevertheless, the clinical presentation is not specific and may only appear as painless unilateral swelling. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the risk factors for testicular cancer, which can range from age, syndromes, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Objective: Integrate updated knowledge on risk factors for testicular cancer. Methodology: A review of updated scientific literature was carried out between the period of 2019-2023. The search was performed using the terms: “risk factors for testicular cancer” “Testicular cancer” “Epidemiology of Testicular Cancer” “Etiology of Testicular Cancer”, in databases: Medscape, Clinical Practice Guidelines, PubMed, Cochrane. Results: Through the theoretical search it was possible to obtain updated information on the definition, etiology, epidemiology, the main risk factors, the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention measures in relation to testicular cancer. Conclusions: Testicular cancer, although rare, has a good prognosis with early diagnosis and treatment. Detection through self-examination and regular tests is crucial.

    Identificación del Agente Microbiano Causante de Infecciones Urinarias dn Pacientes Internos Sometidos a Cateterismo Vesical
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud-Carrera Laboratorio Clínico, 2016-10-01) Panchi Salazar, Jenny Alexandra; Salazar Garcés, Dolores Krupskaya Lic. Mg.
    The high incidence of infections of the urinary tract in men and women undergoing bladder catheterization of the 18 and 35years of age conducted this study towards the identification of microbial agents involved in this disease. Being the gender male 12 representing the 30.0% and 28 are female representing the 70.0%. Urinary tract infections are can be subdivided into two main anatomical categories: infection of the upper tract (prostatitis and urethritis) and the lower infection (cystitis). In most cases, the growth of more 100.000 UFC /ml is clinically important in patients undergoing catheterization, were unable to identify the microbes that cause urinary infections in inpatients undergoing bladder catheterization are bacteria gram-negative, identified by microbiological protocols, it could be observed in this population who in 30 patients identified Escherichia coli representing 75% and 10 patients were identified Klebsiella pneumoniae is 25%. It is important and necessary to know the etiology, bacterial in these patients.

    Identificación de Bacterias Patógenas causantes de Infecciones de Vías Seminales en Hombres de 20 a 40 Años de edad que acuden al Laboratorio Central Puyo
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud-Carrera Laboratorio Clínico, 2016-05-01) Ortiz Meneses, Jazmina Ameth; Salazar Garcés, Dolores Krupskaya Lic. Mg.
    The seminal tract infections occur in men between 20 and 40 years of age and the inconvenience that cause are a group of conditions that have in common the presence of significant numbers of bacteria in semen. Acute infections of the seminal tract can be subdivided into two main anatomical categories: infection of the upper tract (prostatitis and urethritis) and lower tract infection. In most cases, the growth of a number of colonies/ml, can be clinically important, especially in young adults and specimens obtained by seminal culture, any growth is considered clinically important. The seminal tract infection may be recurrent, relapses can be recovery or re infections. Relapse refers to the reactivation of the infection with the same bacteria that was present before treatment, i.e. due to the persistence of the bacteria developing seminal. The re infection it causes a different from the original micro-organism, although it can sometimes be the same organism presented resistance to the antibiotic. It is important and necessary to know the etiology, sensitivity and antimicrobial resistance in adult patients with seminal tract infection. To avoid that the patient present long-term sterility.
