Expected Results: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of current strategies for addressing pain in newborns, whether through pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions and to be a tool for all healthcare professionals dealing with infant pain management, offering relevant guidance and resources. Conclusion: This literature review has shed light on strategies for pain management in newborns, emphasizing the importance of addressing this crucial aspect of neonatal care.

Serie de casos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Tello Herrera, María Gabriela; Alarcón Flores, María José; 0106459043Background: Phenylketonuria has been a paradigm of hereditary metabolic diseases; it is also the first one that allowed finding the biochemical explanation of mental retardation. It is a type of innate metabolic disorder associated with amino acids, caused by a failure of hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase, causing in the patient irreversible damage to nerve cells and an overall developmental delay due to an accumulation of proteins in the tissues. This is a disorder that should be identified early for proper management within the first 28 days of life. Clinical cases: The present case series will expose four pediatric patients between the ages of 0 to 5 years, who presented a diagnosis of classic phenylketonuria in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, which were diagnosed through neonatal metabolic screening with which it was possible to administer timely treatment for this pathology. Conclusions: Early diagnosis and adequate metabolic control through treatment, mainly dietary-nutritional, is crucial to delay complications and increase life expectancy in patients with phenylketonuria.Ítem Acceso Abierto Nivel de conocimientos y habilidades frente a la lactancia materna en pediatras de la ciudad de Cuenca, en el periodo 2023-2024(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Preciado Díaz, Emily Dayanara; Zuñiga Iñiguez, Doménica Patricia; Alarcón Flores, María José; 0750579542; 0106462997Background: Healthcare personnel, including pediatricians, are crucial in guiding and promoting breastfeeding.
