Item Identificación de Neisseria Gonorrhoeae en mujeres de alto riesgo, mediante técnicas microbiológias. Dirección Provincial de Salud del Azuay. Cuenca 1993(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 1993-11-11) Macías S., Eduardo; Ramírez Jaramillo, Richard; Galindo Banegas, Telmo Benjamín; Campoverde Arévalo, Nicolás LucianoVenereal diseases, also known as social diseases, are closely linked to human sexual behavior, as their transmission primarily occurs through sexual intercourse. The greater the indiscriminate sexual activity, the higher the risk of contagion. Young individuals, when beginning their sexual experiences without proper sexual education, are more vulnerable to these diseases. In many cases, they resort to inadequate treatments, such as those provided by unqualified practitioners or empirical methods, which exacerbates the situation. Currently, there is an alarming increase in diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea, particularly among individuals aged 15 to 24. The gonorrhea rate in urban areas with populations over 100,000 is 610 per 100,000 people, while in rural areas it is significantly lower. Gonorrhea was first identified by Albert Ludwig Neisser in 1879 and cultivated by Leistikow in 1882. Although it has been overshadowed in public awareness by diseases like Chlamydia, genital herpes, and HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea remains an important disease, causing serious complications. The gonococcus (Neisseria gonorrhoeae), responsible for gonorrhea, is a gram-negative diplococcus that persists as an indicator of unsafe sexual behavior and a risk factor for HIV transmission.Item Estudio comparativo entre el método microscópico directo y el de concentración para determinar huevos de helmitos, en el Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso. Cuenca 1989(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 1990-11-11) Rodríguez E. Óscar; Olalla J. Rosa; Caguana Q. Rafael; Guerrero Ullauri, LeonardoItem Determinación de fosfatasa alcalina leucocitaria en sangre periférica en pacientes con leucocitosis. Hospital del I.E.S.S. Cuenca 1988(Universidad de Cuenca, 1988-11-11) Cárdenas Molina, Myrian; Delgado Molina, Nancy; Azanza León, Maribel; Peralvo, Juan; Morales, JaimeThe study aimed to analyze the activity of leukocyte alkaline phosphatase in patients with leukocytosis treated at the IESS Hospital in Cuenca in 1988. For this purpose, cytochemical techniques based on Kaplow’s method, later improved with the use of Naphthol-AS-Phosphate as substrate, were employed. The Sigma method allowed an adequate correlation between biochemical and cytochemical results, identifying enzymatic activity through the formation of a visible pigment in leukocytes.Item Prevalencia de parasitosis en los orfelinatos de la ciudad de Cuenca 1989(Universidad de Cuenca, 1989-11-11) Ortega R., Gloria; Peralta C., Henry; Muñoz, JuanItem Determinación de hemoglobina glicosilada en pacientes diabéticos insulino-dependientes. Hospital del I.E.S.S. Cuenca 1988(Universidad de Cuenca, 1988-11-11) Bailón Abad, Mónica; Castro Costa, Rita; Cordero Espinoza, Juan; Alvarez Herrera, María HermelindaDiabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome characterized by alterations in the metabolism of carbohydrates and other nutrients, the development of specific vascular lesions (such as microangiopathy), and an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Its social importance lies in its high incidence, affecting more than 4% of the population and steadily rising, influenced by obesity and increased longevity in Western countries. As a chronic and incurable condition, it is associated with severe pathologies such as blindness, renal failure, ischemic heart disease, and obliterative arteriopathy, leading to significant healthcare and social costs. Although complications partly depend on individual factors, poor metabolic control accelerates their progression. Therefore, treatment must be implemented even when symptoms are mild or absent, and its effectiveness is assessed through parameters that reflect the degree of metabolic control.Item Diagnóstico precoz de cancer cérvico uterino mediante el papanicolaou(Universidad de Cuenca, 1984-11-11) Guzmán V., Pía María; Vivanco A., Zoila; Yumbla S., Betha; Zeas, Iván; Ortega, Susana; Morales, JaimeItem Contaminación bacteriana en refrigerios de consumo inmediato (helados)(Universidad de Cuenca, 1984-11-11) Vásquez T., Mónica; Mora E., Silvio; Sánchez T., Pedro; Torres, MarthaItem Investigación de shigellas en coprocultivos de niños(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-11-11) Castillo C., Sonia; Del Salto C., Brenda; Córdova R., Eduardo; Urgiles, HernánItem Determinación de nitritos en orina y su validez para determinar la infección de vías urinarias(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-08-11) Espinoza A., Filomena; Lozada V., Gladys; Solano P., Ehtna; Quizhpe Peralta, Arturo OctavioItem Dosificación de ácido láctico en condiciones de reposo y luego de diversos ejercicios(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-11-11) Espinoza T., Gloria; Alvarado, Mariana; Alvarez Herrera, María HermelindaItem Índice de colesterol total en plasma de mujer en sus diversas etapas fisiológicas(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-11-11) Mieles de Moreno, Cristina; Sanmartín Granda, Dolores; Siguenza Bravo, Cecilia; Tapia Peña, Lina; Vargas Cárdenas, Susana; Sempertegui Vega, Julio CesarItem Correlación entre las infecciones causadas por estreptococos beta hemolítico y la determinación de antiestreptolisina "0"(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-11-11) Tapia Alvarado, Wilian; Cabrera Medina, Gustavo; Urgilés, HernánItem Estudio de valores de laboratorio clínico en afiliados al Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social. 1982- 1983(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-11-11) López Moreno, Jorge; Torres Martínez, Martha Cecilia; Andino, JoséItem Infección de vias urinarias por bacterias durante el embarazo en pacientes que concurren al Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso 1982- 1983(Universidad de Cuenca, 1983-11-11) Astudillo Segovia, Narcisa; Ordóñez Idrovo, Carmen; Rodríguez Machuca, Alexandra; Cárdenas, OswaldoThe selection of this topic stems from the great importance of understanding the extent of infections that can affect the mother prior to the birth of a new life. This type of research has been conducted countless times in settings different from our own, where the socioeconomic and cultural conditions are more advanced. Therefore, carrying out this research in our own environment will give us a clearer idea of the relationship between health and disease. As previously noted, urinary tract infections constitute the most frequent bacterial influence during pregnancy. Various microorganisms may be present—sometimes causing serious symptoms in the pregnant woman and, at other times, none at all, as in the case of the very common asymptomatic bacteriuria. An important fact is the evidence that most patients who present with this condition did not acquire it during pregnancy; rather, they already had it beforehand. Pregnancy appears to be a factor that promotes the growth and development of bacteria in the urinary tract, leading to an increased incidence of acute symptomatic pyelonephritis, which is typical during gestation.Item Pruebas de funcionamiento hepático. Dosificación de sacarosa y lactosa(Universidad de Cuenca, 1979-11-11) Hermida C., Patricia; Pacheco C., Fanny; Alvarez Herrera, María Hermelinda; Cañizares, ErnestoNo matter how extensive and far-reaching medical research may be, there will always be fields—and within them, specific topics—that, due to their seeming insignificance or lack of importance, have remained static and unexplored. Such is the case with the subject of this research, which has not been previously addressed in our context and which we now present: sucrose and lactose tolerance.With this topic, our goal and aspiration is to contribute our small effort to the advancement of research, hoping it will be of use to our fellow students who follow us in their studies and training, as well as to teachers and professors as a didactic complement to their dedicated work in the study of carbohydrates. Proper importance must be given to nutrition within our environment, where the diet is largely based on natural sources such as fruits, milk, etc. The glucose tolerance test is considered one of the liver’s functional assessments, since when there is liver disease, blood glucose levels show significant variations in one direction or another. The initial rise in blood glucose is due to the influx of glucose absorbed in the intestine, which exceeds the tissues’ capacity to store it in the form of glycogen.Item Dosificación de 17-hidroxicorticoides en la orina de 24 horas(Universidad de Cuenca, 1980-11-11) Ortíz Rodas, Ada Miriam; Álvarez de M., María; Barros Ch., Arturo; Gómez R., LautaroItem Dosificación de proteinas y glucosa en orina y en líquido cefalorraquideo(Univesidad de Cuenca, 1979-11-11) Murudumbay S., Julia; Velasco B., Yadira; Alvarez H., María; Cañizares, ErnestoItem Dosificación de substancias nitrogenadas no proteicas en personas aparentemente sanas(Universidad de Cuenca, 1979-11-11) Sánchez Rodríguez, Peggy; Piedra, Iván; Sempértegui, Julio; Cañizares, ErnestoItem Hemograma y resistencia globular-comparada(Universidad de Cuenca, 1979-11-11) Molina C., Norma; Sempértegui Vega, Julio; Mosquera, Edmundo; Cañizares, ErnestoItem Control de calidad, dosificación de glucosa y curvas de tolerancia(Universidad de Cuenca, 1979-11-11) Mera Cardoso, Dolores; Alvarez Herrera, María
