- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoBiocicatrización del extracto de Jungia Rugosa less sobre heridas quirúrgicas en conejos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Proaño Barreiro, Marco Joaquin; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paúl; 0104937016ABSTRACT Jungia rugosa, known as Human Meat, is a medicinal plant native to the Andes. It has been used ancestrally for the healing of wounds; its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and healing properties are related to its content of flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds. This study evaluated the healing effect of Jungia rugosa extract on postsurgical wounds using nine rabbits as biological models. Two semi-solid creams at 5% and 10% were prepared with its extract, which were compared with the traditional use of the plant. The non-invasive surgical procedure consisted of the creation of three 2cm surgical wounds in different anatomical areas (loin, right and left scapula). The rabbits were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: T1 (5%), T2 (10%), and T0 (Control), achieving complete wound healing eight days after the start of healing. Despite not observing statistically significant differences in the healing process between the traditional use of the plant and the cream, the healing obtained by the use of Jungia rugosa proved to equal and/or exceed the results obtained with other commercial products. It was determined that treatment T1 (5%) offers higher quality healing, indicating that the application of creams could be an effective alternative to take advantage of the medicinal properties of this plant. This choice is based on the limitation of being unable to preserve or store the macerates produced in the field, which could promote greater use of the plant in future research.

- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoDesarrollo y evaluación de masarillas de oxigenación en 3D diseñadas para caninos en recuperación post quirúrgica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Córdova Hidalgo, Jorge Isaac; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paúl; 1105384919In veterinary medicine, the development of 3D oxygenation masks for canines in postsurgical recovery represents a significant advance, as they provide optimal respiratory support and improve patient comfort during the recovery process. The main objective of this research was to design, develop and evaluate 3D oxygenation masks designed for canines in post-surgical recovery. The methodology used was experimental and transversal in nature, with a quantitative approach, a correlational scope and a type of analytical study; For its effect, a 3D printer with liquid resin was used to make the masks, based on canine anatomical specifications, and its effectiveness was tested on 30 canine patients undergoing olivaryhysterectomy (OVH) surgery. The study demonstrated that masks provide effective respiratory support and significantly improve the comfort of canines recovering post-surgery. A notable improvement in anesthetic recovery and adequate tissue oxygenation was observed in patients who used the mask. In addition, the benefits in cardiac stability and improvement in oxygen saturation of these patients were highlighted, demonstrating its effectiveness and importance for administering adequate oxygenation in canine patients who will undergo a surgical procedure.

- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoIdentificación de agentes micóticos (aspergillus spp. y candida spp.) en equipos respiratorios de uso veterinario(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Brito Vélez, Johanna Elizabeth; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paúl; 0105632418The aim of this research was to identify the presence of Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. and their relationship with the different components of respiratory equipment and the surrounding environment in order to establish the potential risk of contamination. To this end, sterile swabs were taken from both proximal and distal parts of the respiratory equipment before and after contact with the patient. This process was carried out with 4 replicates, obtaining a total of 160 samples. These were processed in the Microbiology Laboratory of the Centre for Research, Innovation and Technology Transfer (CIITT) of the Catholic University of Cuenca. The results obtained confirmed the presence of nosocomial fungi Aspergillus and Candida as well as other pathogenic microorganisms. At the time of sampling, no associativity was observed, but an influence on location was observed, especially in the case of Aspergillus spp, which showed positive associativity with the proximal surface. Furthermore, significant associations (p<0.05) were identified between Aspergillus spp. and various respiratory equipment, unlike Candida spp. which was present without statistical associations (p>0.05). Also, a significant risk was found to be present in the environment, anesthesia delivery tubes, mechanical ventilation tubes and endotracheal tubes. These findings provide crucial information for the implementation of preventive measures and cleaning protocols, thus mitigating the risk of contamination.
