    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-07-11) Enderica Vasquez, Oscar Steven; Tacuri Peña, Paola Daniela; Jaramillo Oyervide, Julio Alfredo
    Background: Procoagulant pathologies generate thrombotic processes chronically and silently in humans. Among these, hereditary thrombophilias stand out as the main genetic cause. A timely diagnosis by hematological or genetic methods is crucial to prevent fatal consequences in the affected adult population (1). Objective: To synthesize the available scientific evidence on the diagnostic approach of classical hereditary thrombophilias in the adult population. Methods: Retrospective observational study by Systematic Literature Review under PRISMA guidelines. The study population included adults and was conducted in international databases (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Scopus). The data collection instrument was Zotero, a bibliographic tool that collected articles from digital databases. A Microsoft Excel matrix created Ad Hoc containing articles published on the topic was used. Eligibility criteria were applied and Sackett classification was applied to assess quality. Subsequently, descriptive statistics were used to present the information obtained, together with a narrative synthesis. Results: We obtained 22 articles, 15 of which belonged to European countries: Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The most studied Classical Hereditary Thrombophilia was Factor V Leiden. Conclusions: In the United States, research prioritizes portal vein thrombosis. A clear lack of correlation with obstetric outcomes has been noted. In contrast, in the European countries mentioned, the connection between thrombotic events and obstetric conditions is highlighted, underlining the importance of screening and its repetition as needed.

The most frequent causes are: lack of training, updating and education on procedures for handling sharps equipment, conditions of the work area and professional and non-professional behavior.

In Ecuador, morbidity and mortality rates are increasing despite multiple prevention programs against the primary vector, the human papillomavirus (HPV). Objectives: To determine the acceptability of self-sampling for HPV diagnosis among gynecologists Cuenca canton, 2024. Methodology: A descriptive, quantitative, observational cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting data from 106 gynecologists working in Cuenca. Data were obtained through personal interviews recorded on physical forms. These were later entered into a Microsoft Excel database and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: 35.8% of specialists are aged between 30-40 years; 44.3% have 1-10 years of clinical practice; 58.5% are women, and 65.1% work in the private sector. 66% perform Pap smears daily. 64.2% have a high level of knowledge about self-sampling. 80.2% consider it extremely important for patients to be able to take an adequate sample. 70.8% would recommend the method to all women aged ≥ 30 years, while 68.9% would not recommend it to postmenopausal women. 83% see the primary advantage as the reduction of patients' embarrassment. 98.1% consider missed pathology diagnoses due to lack of visualization of genitourinary structures during screening as the main disadvantage.
