Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and ACS occur more frequently in patients with high morbidity and mortality rates. Continuous monitoring of critically ill patients, both medical and surgical, facilitates early diagnosis and appropriate ACS treatment. The detection of ACS involves measuring IAP, which can be done indirectly or directly, and the choice of medical or surgical treatment is based on each patient's needs. Objective: To describe the updated diagnosis and management of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome. Methodology: A review of the diagnosis and management of ACS was conducted through a descriptive, retrospective, qualitative approach based on scientific articles published in the last five years in Spanish, Portuguese, and English in databases such as SciELO, Science, PubMed, Taylor & Francis, Scopus, ProQuest. Results: After analyzing articles on the topic, 45 studies were obtained, followed by exclusion and inclusion methods, resulting in 30 papers for this systematization. Conclusion: The diagnosis of ACS requires the measurement of IAP, with the intravesical catheter being the gold standard. The management of ACS should be stepwise, ranging from conservative medical treatment to a surgical procedure, without needing to be mutually exclusive.Ítem Acceso Abierto Actualización del tratamiento en pacientes con Síndrome de Meniere. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Zambrano Párraga, Enma Jaqueline; Pérez Ramírez, Jacinto Eugenio; 1316577335; ., .Meniere's syndrome is an inner ear disease characterized by recurrent rotatory sensorineural vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and progressive hearing loss. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic options must be individualized to improve patients' quality of life. Objective: To analyze the therapeutic options for Meniere's Syndrome treatment. Methodology: This systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Results: Treatment is based on reducing the intensity of the symptoms and consists of implementing hygienic-dietary measures such as restricting salt and caffeine, managing stress, and rest. Medication such as betahistine or diuretics is often associated with controlling inner ear pressure. In refractory cases, treatment can be alternating with intratympanic medicines; in the most severe cases in which pharmacological treatment does not work, different types of surgical interventions can be considered to alleviate vertiginous crises. Conclusions: It was possible to focus the treatment on modifying the patients' lifestyle; this involves reducing salt intake and avoiding caffeine, sugar, and alcohol. Physical exercise, sleep, and stress management also play a fundamental role. The most commonly used drugs to prevent vertigo attacks in Meniere's disease are diuretics and/or betahistine.Ítem Acceso Abierto Actualización en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del Síndrome de Hellp(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Cordero Verdugo, Christofer Renato; Pérez Ramírez, Jacinto Eugenio; 0302707088; ., .Hellp syndrome (HS) is a complication during pregnancy, usually derived from preeclampsia and eclampsia. Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and thrombocytopenia characterize this complication. According to the Ministry of Public Health, 3 out of every 1000 pregnant women in Ecuador have this condition. This syndrome is represented by abdominal discomfort at the epigastrium level and in the right upper quadrant, and other symptoms are nausea leading to vomiting. This study aimed to perform a bibliographic review on Hellp Syndrome focused on diagnosis and treatment; for this, a reviewer conducted bibliographic research in digital databases such as PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier, EMBASE, Scopus, ResearchGate, Crossref, Sinergia, UptoDate, Reciamuc, and Google Scholar.

Revisión Sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Molina Gonzáles, Karla Alejandra; Quevedo Crespo, María José; 0401585575; ., .Abstract: Late-onset sepsis in newborns represents an important event in the overall morbimortality in neonatal patients, especially in preterm and low and very low birth weight neonates. Late neonatal sepsis affects newborns after 72 hours of life and until the end of the neonatal period; the clinical manifestations are varied and nonspecific. The gold standard test for its diagnosis is the culture of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or other focus of infection, and treatment is based on extended-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Objective: To conduct descriptive research by compiling current scientific articles of the last five years on late neonatal sepsis, advances, and innovations in its identification and clinical management. Methodology: Systematic review of non-experimental documentary design at descriptive level following PRISMA guidelines. Results: Thirty-four articles were reviewed; 25 matched the inclusion criteria; two papers were payable, so they could not be accessed; and seven articles were published over five years ago. Conclusions: Late neonatal sepsis is a severe infection that requires high clinical suspicion and appropriate management. Healthcare providers should pay close attention to the signs and symptoms of this disease and apply the necessary preventive policies to care for neonates' short- and long-term health and well-being.Ítem Solo Metadatos Alteraciones hematologicas por Sars Cov-2(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Blacio Reyes, Santiago Adrian; Peñaherrera Lozada, Cristina Elizabeth; 0705638310; ., .COVID-19 disease has spread worldwide, causing millions of infections and deaths. Despite affecting mainly the respiratory system, recent investigations have shown that hematological alterations are a substantial part of the pathophysiology of the infection and the diagnosis. Objective: To know the main hematological alterations caused by SARS-COV-2. Methodology: This systematic review was conducted by the PRISMA statement. Searches were performed until January 31, 2023. The author evaluated the abstracts and titles of each article for selection and inclusion. Results: Complete blood count and coagulation parameters ─of patients with COVID- 19 and in serious condition, admitted to the intensive care unit, with respiratory distress syndrome and death─ were compared. Lower lymphocyte and platelet values (P ≤ 0.04), leukocytosis (P ≤ 0.039), and elevated neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P <0.001) were related to severity; elevated D-dimer correlated with severity, death, and risk of thromboembolism (P <0.0001). The most frequent complications were thrombotic, similarly manifested in patients with long COVID. Conclusions: Certain markers were identified that might be useful for risk stratification to predict patients with severe or fatal COVID-19. Therefore, in hospitalized patients, it would be appropriate to monitor both blood biometry and coagulation, which can help to predict the severity and risk of venous thromboembolism or pulmonary embolism.Ítem Acceso Abierto Alternativas para el manejo farmacológico de la diabetes mellitus tipo II, en pacientes adultos con inadecuada respuesta a la monoterapia. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) García Herrera, Carlos Andrés; Calle Gutiérrez, María Silvana; 0302302864; ., .Background: Diabetes Mellitus control involves pharmacological measures, mainly based on monotherapy, that often do not meet the proposed objectives; therefore, multiple therapies are often necessary after monotherapy failure. General objective: To analyze the evidence of pharmacological management alternatives for Diabetes Mellitus Type II in adult patients with inadequate response to monotherapy to establish an informed criterion on using alternative therapies versus monotherapy. Methods: A systematic and qualitative review study was conducted through the PRISMA method. Results: It was evidenced that GLP-1 analog usage as an adjunct to metformin was associated with a significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c. The study by Handelsman et al. (2019) in patients who had consumed metformin, revealed a decrease in HbA1c when applying the triple therapy of Dapagliflozin plus Saxagliptin and Metformin compared to the one based on Sitagliptin plus Metformin, with a reduction of -1.41 ± 0.007 % versus -1.07 ± 0.07 % respectively. Conclusions: Multiple therapies are necessary for controlling Diabetes Mellitus, and using GLP-1 analogs as part of this therapy was associated with greater therapeutic safety and better glycemic results.Ítem Acceso Abierto Ansiedad depresión en las personas que sobreviven al Covid 19(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Flores Ortiz, Lourdes Patricia; Malavé Pérez, Yolanda María; 0302705777; ., .Covid 19 is an infectious disease that causes acute respiratory syndrome in human beings. The lack of knowledge and uncertainty surrounding the attention and care of infected patients influenced this epidemiological outbreak to become a worldwide pandemic with a high mortality rate. Continuous advances in the health field have made it possible to control the spread of the virus, allowing a more significant number of people to survive. However, this population group is prone to suffer from specific psychiatric sequelae such as anxiety and depression. Methodology: The present research is a systematic review conducted under a qualitative approach, with the analysis of scientific articles obtained from different sources of information duly referenced using the Mendeley Data Manager. Results: Anxiety and depression are recognized as the main psychiatric alterations presented by people infected with Covid 19 and are presented acutely months after a person has overcome the disease, evidencing considerable psychiatric comorbidity. Conclusion: Among the factors associated with the appearance of anxiety and depression in healed Covid-19 patients are the socioeconomic level of the recovered person, age, sex, intrafamily conflicts, fear of a new infection, not being able to recuperate fully, and social isolation.Ítem Acceso Abierto Apendicectomía Laparoscópica frente Apendicectomía convencional: Ventajas y Desventajas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2020) Ordoñez Criollo, Lilia Eliana; Rojas Chica, Rubén Darío; 0706453305; ., .ANTECEDENTES La apendicitis aguda es motivo de intervención quirúrgica frecuentemente, está definida como la inflamación aguda del apéndice cecal que afecta todas las capas del órgano.

Revisión Sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Sacta Rivera, Dayana Estefania; Pérez Ramírez, Jacinto Eugenio; 0302974027; ., .Background: Assisting with quality prenatal care reduces the chances of having neonates with low birth weight (LBW), whereas non-attendance or attendance at fewer than four visits relatively increases the incidence of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Objective: To correlate prenatal care attendance as a predictor of low birth weight. Methodology: It was a bibliographic review of articles, clinical practice guidelines, and documented systematic investigations of scientific databases in the last five years in Spanish and English, such as PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier, Uptodate, and Google Scholar based on the PRISMA 2020 declaration criteria. Results: Twenty-four articles were analyzed to determine the importance of prenatal care at the first level, risk factors associated with LBW, and its complications. Discussion: Prenatal care is a fundamental pillar of maternal-fetal well-being based on risk identification, health promotion, education, and therapeutic intervention to prevent maternal and neonatal complications. LBW is associated with the mother's and the fetus's biological, psychological, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. Early and late consequences of LBW include neurological and respiratory disorders, such as pulmonary immaturity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and long-term comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease, arterial hypertension, and diabetes mellitus type II.Ítem Acceso Abierto Autocuidado de pie diabético en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Calle Ortiz, Diana Mercedes; Devia Solis, Nury Lissie; 0350148839; ., .Background: The present investigation aims to identify diabetic foot self-care practices in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and their relationship with age, sex, and years of disease evolution. Methods: PRISMA 2020 methodology was used; studies were conducted in patients diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, aged between 18 and ~70 years. Data collection instruments were validated and standardized and reflected self-care practices for feet. The studies were published in the last five years in Spanish or English language. Information was obtained from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Redalyc. Results: The average age was 50.03 years; 53.9% were women, 46.1 % were men, and 63.71% of the patients had diabetes> 5 years. On average, 63% checked their feet, 82.57% washed their feet daily and 60.76% dried between toes, 40.77% did not use moisturizing skin creams, and 60.64% cut their nails correctly. Dlscussion: The level of self-care of the feet is intermediate despite having the disease for more than five years. Most patients do not check their feet daily; using inadequate footwear, wearing shoes without socks, or walking barefoot inside the house are standard practices in Asian and African patients. A limitation of the present review was the lack of articles from other regions of the world.Ítem Acceso Abierto Automedicación y factores asociados en América Latina.
