Efecto de microorganismos benéficos sobre los niveles de amoniaco y digestibilidad alimenticia en pollos Broiler
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Briseño Mejía, Banner Giovanni; Vázquez Vásquez, Jacinto Enrique; 1150598645
The current research aimed at evaluating the effect of adding beneficial microorganisms in the drinking water and on the poultry house floor on ammonia levels and feed digestibility parameters in broiler chickens. Six hundred 1-day-old broilers were distributed under a completely randomized design; the treatments to be evaluated were T0 (control) and T1 (0.1% beneficial microorganisms), each with four replicates and 75 experimental units. The variables evaluated were production parameters (weekly weight, feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion, carcass weight, mortality percentage), feed digestibility (crude protein, organic matter, inorganic matter), and ammonia levels inside the poultry house. The results showed that T1 increased weight gain and improved feed conversion in week 1, feed digestibility was affected in ash and protein, and mortality percentage decreased. However, carcass weight was not affected. Finally, ammonia levels inside the house did not show significant differences between treatments during the research. In conclusion, the addition of beneficial microorganisms at a rate of 0.1% in the drinking water and the broiler poultry house do not have a positive impact on the levels of ammonia inside the poultry house. However, it increases weight gain and bird feed conversion and decreases the percentage of mortality.

Eficacia de la inmunoterapia con células monoclonales en cáncer de páncreas
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Arízaga Toledo, Fabián Alberto; Villa Clavijo , Christian Daniel; 0106228463
Pancreatic cancer is an uncontrolled proliferation of pancreatic cells that can lead to a tumor. It is usually diagnosed late since its initial symptoms can be confused with different pathological diagnoses at the gastrointestinal level. It has a high mortality rate worldwide; survival after diagnosis is approximately five months. Several studies have shown promising results in treating immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies; therefore, this literature review aims to describe the effectiveness of monoclonal cell treatment and its feasibility as monotherapy for pancreatic cancer. In conclusion, immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies can be used as an adjuvant treatment in combination with chemotherapy since a favorable response has been seen in pancreatic cancer.

Análisis jurídico de la tutela judicial efectiva por la posible presunción de paternidad en los juicios de alimentos para la mujer embarazada
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Coello Loyola, Francisco José; Valarezo Cordero, Juan Fernando; 0101953321
This study aims to examine and analyze the potential breach of legal guarantees for a putative father in prenatal support alimony proceedings when it is later proven that he is not the biological father. Therefore, it is essential to determine whether the pregnant mother violated the other’s rights.
The inductive-deductive research method was used to achieve a better understanding of the concepts concerning the topic and provide a broader perspective on the aspects linked to the violation of the putative father’s rights, as well as possible solutions within the prenatal support lawsuit for pregnant women with prenatal assistance.
The findings of this research show a clear violation of rights and a legal gap in the Ecuadorian legislation concerning the provisional alimony that the putative father must pay in support of the pregnant woman during prenatal care. This demonstrates that the legislation does not adequately protect the rights of putative fathers, leaving them in a state of evident legal neglect.

La inconstitucionalidad de la formulación de cargos en la detención con fines investigativos
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Calle Rojas , Issai Eloy; Asitimbay Guzmán, Iván; 0302649256
When a crime is committed, individuals are criminally prosecuted. Therefore, it has been established that "(...) only a judge or authority shall be competent to judge a person, provided that the respective procedural safeguards for each proceeding are observed (...)" as stipulated in numeral 3 of Article 76 of the Constitution of the Republic (hereafter referred to as the "Constitution"). Power entrusted to the Attorney General's Office in accordance with Article 195 of the Constitution.
The Organic Integral Penal Code (hereafter "COIP" by its Spanish acronym), establishes certain powers for prosecutors in Article 444, outlining specific procedural rules that must be followed to uphold principles and rights. One of these rules is found in Article 575 of the COIP, which establishes reasonable notification periods for scheduling a hearing (...). The rule states that notifications cannot be less than 72 hours, with exceptions.
However, as of March 29, 2023, a reform of that rule (Article 575) was enacted, allowing for a hearing for the formulation of charges when detention has been ordered for investigative purposes.
This reform has sparked significant debates, as the previous rule required at least 72 hours’ notice for scheduling a hearing, whereas the reform now permits a notification period of only 24 hours when the detention was performed for investigative purposes.

Paradigmas actuales de la hipertensión pulmonar persistente neonatal. Revisión Sistemática
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Muzha Arévalo , Carla Samantha; González Cárdenas , Juan Manuel; 0302416284
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a heterogeneous condition associated with significant mortality; it is delimited by a defect in the fetal-neonatal circulation causing cyanosis, hypoxemia, and respiratory acidosis; pharmacological management seeks to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance. Therefore, the first line of treatment is Nitric Oxide, Sildenafil; Bosentan, Treprostinil, Iloprost, Adenosine, and Hydrocortisone are highlighted as second and third-line treatments for refractory PPHN. However, the use of these oral agents is limited due to their high cost, necessitating the exploration of alternative treatment modalities for PPHN. The use of these oral agents is limited by the lack of acquisition by the health system due to their high cost, making it unavoidable to know the alternative treatment modalities in PPHN. Objective: To analyze the current pharmacological paradigms associated with PPHN through a systematic review. Methodology: This is a descriptive, qualitative, inductive research linked to the PRISMA statement. Twenty-five full-text articles were evaluated from various scientific databases such as Cochrane, Scopus, PubMed, Proquest, Taylor & Francis, UpToDate, and Web of Science. Results: The safety and efficacy of pharmacological therapies are based on their mechanisms of action (cGMP, PDE type 5 and 3, PC, and ET). Treprostinil, which reduces the risk of treatment discontinuation, has shown effectiveness in combination therapy with Nitric Oxide. Bosentan increases the rate of clinical improvement but poses a risk of liver toxicity; however, further evidence is needed for these medications in neonates.

Efectividad de fisioterapia como tratamiento al esguince de tobillo. Revisión Sistemática
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Rivera Caldas, Jonnathan Marcelo; Capote Llanares, Miguel Ángel; 0302712443
Objective: To assess different physical therapy modalities in treating ankle sprain. Methodology: A systematic, retrospective, and descriptive review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Inclusion criteria comprised scientific articles published from 2019 to 2024 in English or Spanish, indexed in scientific databases, full text, and free access. Exclusion criteria comprised articles that did not meet the established timeframe for publication, covering topics related to incomplete fractures or sprains of other body parts. PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, Springer, and Web of Science databases were used to identify the studies. The articles' bias risk was evaluated using Cochrane Review Manager 5.4.1. The results were synthesized and presented in a summary table with the following sections: title, author, country, year, type of study, results, and associated factors. Results: Ten randomized clinical trials involving 405 participants were included and assessed physiotherapeutic strategies such as Kinesio Tape, mobilization with movement, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, strength training, and functional training in the reduction of edema, pain, mobility and improvement in strength, balance, and functionality of the ankle in patients with lateral ankle sprain. Conclusions: Physical therapy offers several effective strategies for treating ankle sprain. Techniques such as Kinesio Tape, mobilization with motion (MWM), electrical stimulation (TENS and NEMS), and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation have been demonstrated to improve functional recovery, reduce pain, and decrease edema significantly.

Estilos docentes y motivación/participación en Educación Física: Una perspectiva desde la revisión bibliográfica
(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Serrano Serpa, Ángel Andrés; Ávila Mediavilla, Carlos Marcelo; 0302429972
This research aims to identify teaching styles in Physical Education (PE) as controllers or generators of autonomy that motivate the practice of physical activity via a literature review from 2017 to 2023. A mixed-method approach was employed to collect, select, evaluate, and summarize information from scientific articles to minimize biases and obtain reliable results using the PRISMA methodology under reliability, credibility, and transferability criteria. The research question focused on how Physical Education teaching styles motivate participation in physical activity? was defined, and a search was performed in several databases. Data were registered using bibliographic cards and Mendeley for APA 7th edition format. The results reveal that teaching styles in PE are classified as controlling, autonomy-generating, and mixed, each with its approach to learning. Controlling styles involve repetition and teacher control, while autonomy-generating styles encourage active participation. It is concluded that the choice of teaching style in PE should be based on student needs and educational objectives rather than the superiority of any one method; studies indicate that combining styles enhances motivation and participation, highlighting the importance of continuous teacher training; factors such as teamwork, social skills, and cooperative learning are essential for motivation in physical activity, although traditional methods prevail. Gamification and inclusive teaching are effective in adapting learning to individual needs.
