This study aims to determine the effect of bariatric surgery on the quality of life in obese men and women between 20 and 60 years of age. A Systematic Review (SR) was carried out with meta-analysis of randomized systematic reviews, which compare the quality of life in patients after bariatric surgery. Electronic databases were consulted: Ebsco, Scopus, Pubmed and Cochrane Library. The response variables were: physical, social, mental and emotional function. They were submitted to meta-analysis, with R 4.2.2. Three SRs were included, of which 25 clinical trials were combined with 3-6 and 12-month follow-up after bariatric surgery, finding statistically significant changes in physical function scores (1.20; 95% CI: 0.80-1 .61), social (0.95; 95% CI: 0.66-1.25), mental (0.35; 95% CI: -0.21- +0.90) and emotional (0.54; 95% CI: 0.03-1.06). The surroundings of the quality of life improve post bariatric surgery in obese patients.</p>2024-02-15T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/6030A PANORAMIC VIEW OF ANXIETY AND LIFESTYLE IN MEDICAL STUDENTS: AN UPDATED REVIEW.2023-11-02T01:23:02+00:00Anthony Diosdao Colque DurandAnthony.Colque@outlook.com<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Lifestyles encompass the decisions a person makes, simultaneously impacting their quality of life. Especially for those pursuing health-related careers, it can be a particularly demanding and challenging period. They frequently encounter stressful situations that significantly affect their well-being and lifestyle choices. <strong>Objective:</strong> To determine if there is an association between lifestyle and academic performance in medical students. <strong>Methods:</strong> The review was conducted through evidence-based literature search for articles published from 2013 to 2023, using search platforms such as Scopus, PubMed, Scielo, BVS, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. <strong>Results: </strong>Out of the 42 articles reviewed, 10 were excluded for not being related to our research variables in the field of health sciences or for not involving a university population. Additionally, 2 articles were removed as they were published before 2013, leaving only 30 articles for this literature review. Among the 30 selected articles, 14 presented research results, while 16 were considered for theoretical and conceptual aspects related to the study's purpose. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> University students with healthy lifestyles tend to have better academic performance, and it has been observed that mental health plays a significant role. However, the lack of consensus in the findings suggests the need for further research to better understand this complex relationship.</p> <p>Keywords: Students; Life Style; Academic Performance (source: MeSH - NLM)</p>2024-02-12T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/5968EFFECT OF ORAL VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTATION ON PSORIASIS SEVERITY: DOES IT GENERATE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS?2023-10-02T18:41:01+00:00Juan Esteban Ospina Gómezjuanestebanospina98@gmail.comMaria Camila Forero Buelvasmforero570@unab.edu.coManuel Enrique Duarte Ariascolmedgroup.bga@gmail.com<p>Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with a complex genetic and pathogenic basis, often leading to significant comorbidities and a reduced quality of life. Its prevalence varies globally and exhibits an increasing trend over time. Comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health issues further compound the burden of psoriasis. Treatment options range from topical therapies to systemic agents, with biologics playing a prominent role in recent years. However, the safety and efficacy of these treatments are continuously assessed through real-world data. Vitamin D has gained attention as a potential therapeutic target due to its role in immune regulation and skin barrier function. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of oral vitamin D supplementation in ameliorating the severity of psoriasis. After bibliographic search, it was found that psoriasis is a multifaceted condition with significant global implications. Biologics have transformed its management, and oral vitamin D supplementation is a promising avenue for further exploration. A comprehensive, patient-centered approach that considers comorbidities and long-term outcomes is crucial for optimizing psoriasis care. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of vitamin D in psoriasis and its potential as a therapeutic intervention.</p>2024-02-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/5877MORTALITY OF PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED BY COVID-19 IN MEXICO, SYSTEMATIC REVIEW2023-08-19T17:20:00+00:00Ana Portocarrerero Granadosana.portocarrero6@gmail.comLya A Castro Rodriguezlyaacasro@gmail.comAntonio Sandoval-Cabrerasandoval.mx@gmail.comMaría del Socorro Romero Figueroasromero61@hotmail.com<p>Introduction</p> <p>Since the start of the pandemic, Mexico was one of the countries with the highest mortality rates from COVID 19.</p> <p>Objective</p> <p>To determine if type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, and obesity increase mortality in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who required hospitalization in Mexico.</p> <p>Method</p> <p>Systematic review in Pubmed MeSH, Web of Science, Lilas, Scielo, and Google Schoolar with the terms MESH COVID-19, SARS-COV2, Coronavirus, and Mexico for the years 2020 and 2021, in English or Spanish.

We present the case of a male, a 30-year-old cadet in the Peruvian Navy from Lima, who developed a hyperinfection syndrome due to Strongyloides stercoralis, having a presumptive diagnosis of polymyositis for which he received a short cycle of corticosteroids. He was not a carrier of the HTLV 1/2 virus. Upon admission, he presented with hyporexia, generalized weakness, cachexia, intermittent self-limited diarrhea, oral intolerance, and mild abdominal distension. The patient reached the dissemination stage, resulting in severe intestinal damage. The low excretion of larvae in the feces made the diagnosis difficult. Treatment was provided with parenteral ivermectin at a dose of 1.2ml subcutaneously every 48 hours for three doses, with a good clinical response and subsequently good oral tolerance. The importance of presenting the case is to comment on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to this endemic geohelminthiasis of Peru.</p>2024-03-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/5881JOB SATISFACTION IN CRISIS: THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON HEALTH PERSONNEL2023-08-18T05:20:45+00:00Nora Nicole Itusaca Dueñasnora.itusaca@gmail.comValeria Antuanne Ortiz Ramosantuanneortiz2@gmail.com<p>Dear Editor of the <span style="font-weight: 400;">Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana, Lima, Perú: </span></p> <p>I am writing to you regarding the original article titled "Pre-pandemic climate and job satisfaction of nursing staff in an emergency service," published in Volume 23, Issue 02, of the year 2023.

To determine the association of addiction to social networks and the consequences in mental health in human medicine students of the Ricardo Palma University, year 2021. <strong>Materials and methods.</strong> Cross-sectional observational study, with the participation of 454 human medicine students from first to fifth year, chosen by stratified random sampling proportional to size. The instrument was validated, obtaining a Cronbach's Alpha (α=0.90), the questionnaires used were: Addiction to Social Networks (ARS), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). In order to evaluate the association between variables, we used crude and adjusted prevalence ratio (PR), using the Poisson regression model with the logarithmic link and with the 95% confidence interval. <strong>Results.</strong> 65.4% were women, with an average age of 21.2 years. A significant association was found between high social network addiction and mental health (PRc: 2.59; 95% CI: 1.92-3.50; p< 0.01) and, likewise, between high and medium levels of social network addiction. social and with depression, anxiety, stress (p< 0.01) and sleep quality (p<0.010), respectively. 41%, 49.1% and 9.9% of the students presented low, medium and high addiction to social networks, respectively. 57.5% had depression, 56.4% anxiety, 70.5% stress and 77.3% poor sleep quality. <strong>Conclusions.</strong> There was a strong association between ARS and mental health. Therefore, it is recommended that university students visit mental health specialists quarterly for proper identification, evaluation, and management of the problems generated by ARS.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Behavior, addictive; social networking; mental health; students, medical (Source: MeSH NLM)</p>2024-02-15T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/5539CREATION AND VALIDATION OF A FAMILY RESILIENCE SCALE IN RELATIVES OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE CITY OF ICA2023-03-12T22:05:04+00:00Adin Mezollam Checcllo Tenorioc23020@utp.edu.peJuan Carlos Escudero Nolascojescuderon@unmsm.edu.pe<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To create and validate a family resilience in caregivers relatives of people with disabilities (ERF-PD). <strong>Method</strong>: The research design is instrumental.

Objectives: To establish the factors associated with postoperative complications after PD in the Pancreas Surgery Service of the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital in Lima, Peru.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> An observational, quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional, and retrospective study was carried out on 81 patients during the period from January 2017 to December 2019, who underwent PD. The dependent variable was postoperative complications and the independent variables were preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative variables. The medical records were reviewed. Logistic regression was performed to find the crude and adjusted ORs.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> The mean age was 65.97±10.14 and the majority of patients were male. The most common postoperative complication was pancreatic fistula (34.6%). Factors associated with postoperative complications after PD were male sex (aOR: 4.46, 95% CI: 1.35-14.77), ampullary cancer (aOR: 6.92, 95% CI: 1.75-27.48), and soft consistency of the pancreas (aOR: 4.52, 95% CI: 0.07-0.58).<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The factors associated with postoperative complications after PD were male sex, ampulloma, and soft consistency of the pancreas.</p>2024-02-18T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/5765CONCORDANCE BETWEEN TWO QUESTIONARIES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF DIGITAL EYE STRAIN IN STUDENTS OF A UNIVERSITY IN PERU2023-12-14T22:45:34+00:00Guillermo Landa Guerraguillermo.landa@alum.udep.edu.pe<p><strong>Objective:</strong> Obtain the frequency of digital eye strain (DES) between two questionnaires among students of a private university in Lima, Peru; in order to estimate the degree of concordance between both methods. <strong><sub>Methods:</sub></strong> A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 345 participants over 18 years of age, students at a university in Lima, Peru, and who completed the data collection instrument. The two methods used to measure DES were the Hayes questionnaire, which defines a positive case for DES with a score equal to or greater than 20; and the CVS-Q questionnaire of Seguí, which defines a score greater than 6 as positive for DES. Cohen's kappa coefficient was estimated with its 95% confidence interval to measure global concordance degree and by groups. <strong>Results:</strong> The Hayes questionnaire identified 167 (48.4%) participants with a presumptive diagnosis of DES, the Seguí questionnaire identified 247 (71.6%) students. In the concordance analysis, Cohen's Kappa coefficient was 0.45 (95% CI; 0.37 – 0.53) (p < 0.01) in the global analysis, considered as moderate. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The degree of concordance between both methods was moderate, the Seguí instrument identified a higher proportion of university students with FVD.</p>2024-02-18T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humanahttps://revistas.urp.edu.pe/index.php/RFMH/article/view/6391COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDICATORS OF MALADJUSTED PSYCHOSOCIAL BEHAVIOR AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH HIGHER AND LOWER PROPENSITY TO BULLYING BEHAVIOR2024-01-30T17:31:17+00:00Héctor Hugo Sánchez Carlessihugo.sanchezc@urp.edu.peRenzo Ricardo Palacios Gil201811742@urp.edu.pe<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Bullying is harmful behavior in school contexts, affecting students' lives. <strong>Objective:</strong> To identify and compare indicators of maladjusted behavior in students with different propensities to bullying. <strong>Methodology:</strong> This descriptive and quantitative study used surveys and a comparative followed by correlational design to assess maladjusted behaviors (stress, low self-esteem, incivility, family maladjustment, propensity to violence) in secondary students from Lima and Callao. The non-probabilistic sample included 1345 first and second-year students, divided into two groups based on their bullying propensity (high -Group E- and low -Group C-). Scales from the INDACPS inventories and the Bullying Propensity Scale (BPS) were applied, analyzing data with SPSS v.25 and Jamovi. Differences between groups were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and variable correlation was determined using Spearman's correlation. <strong>Results: </strong>Group E had higher levels of stress, low self-esteem, incivility, family maladjustment, and propensity to violence, with statistical significance (p<0.001) compared to Group C. Statistically significant correlations were found between the propensity to bullying and these indicators, being stronger in the total sample (p<0.001). Additionally, significant gender differences were observed in stress, low self-esteem, family maladjustment, and propensity to violence, but not in incivility and bullying propensity. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Students with a higher propensity to bullying exhibit higher levels of stress, low self-esteem, incivility, family maladjustment, and propensity to violence, underscoring the importance of comprehensive interventions.</p>2024-02-15T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Humana
