    Introduction: information technology and communication (ICT) have generated social and cultural changes, generating pathologies associated with personality disorders Objective: To determine the prevalence of addiction to ICTs and their association with personality disorders. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of prevalence among students of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Cuenca, the sample was 369 students. To determine ICT addiction to diagnosing personality disorders were used DSM-IV criteria, to determine the association between ICT addiction and personality disorders were developed crosstabs, results and relative frequencies as statistics the prevalence ratio (PR) with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: The mean age 20.98 years, the prevalence of addiction to ICTs 46.3% and personality disorders 53.7%, the most prevalent disorder was the paranoid 11.3% population ICT addicted to 2.42 (95% CI 1.95 to 3.01) times more likely to be associated with personality disorders. Conclusions: Students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences prevalence of addiction to ICTs is high and the prevalence of personality disorders is greater in the group with ICT addiction.

    Background: Preterm birth is one of the main causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Cervical length measured by ultrasonography is a tool that could predict preterm birth. Objective: to establish the validity between cervical length measured by ultrasonography and preterm birth in pregnant women treated at the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital, period 2018-2019. Methodology: observational, retrospective study, diagnostic test validation. We reviewed 400 medical records of pregnant women whose delivery was attended at the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital during the period from January 2018 to December 2019 and who have an ultrasound with a cervical length report between 22 to 36 weeks of gestation. The information was collected through a data collection form. The analysis was performed in the SPSS 15.0 program. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and ROC curve of ultrasonographic cervical length were determined. Results: the prevalence of preterm birth was 31%, 23.3% were classified as late preterm, followed by 4.3 %, 1.8%, and 1.8% as moderate, very preterm, and extreme preterm infants, respectively. According to the measurement of the cervical canal, 88.3% were categorized as low risk of peterm birth, however, 8.8% and 3% were considered as moderate and high risk. Cervical length measured by ultrasonography sensitivity was 32.61%, specificity 47.58%, positive and negative predictive value 58.06% and 24.08% respectively; the area under the curve was 0.63, without showing predictive capacity of preterm birth.
