    (2024-09-22) Zurita Guevara, José Robert; Pineda Varela, Ramón Edecio; Morales, Juan Pablo; Solís Loor, Teresa Antonia
    Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and affects millions of people worldwide. The prevalence of type 1 and 2 DM has been increasing in recent years and is a significant morbidity burden. The objective of this research was to carry out a bibliographic review on diabetes mellitus, from the epidemiology of the disease to treatment and management strategies. Using databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, with articles published from 2019 to 2024. Accordingto the data collected, diabetes mellitus is a phenomenon with global prevalence and forecasts of an increase of 46% in 2045. The research carried out allowed us to identify theoretical and conceptual references that support diabetes mellitus, its pathophysiology, management and prevention. The comprehensive approach of current therapies was demonstrated, which includes glycemic control, lifestyle change and prevention of morbidity and allows facing the risk factors to which one is exposed through a personalization of the intervention. Novel technologies such as continuous glucose level monitoring and incretin-based therapies show positive results in the treatment of the disease.

    Epidemiología, diagnóstico y manejo de la hipertensión arterial en Ecuador: Un análisis integral desde una revisión de la literatura
    (2024-05-20) Pineda Varela, Ramón Edecio; Zurita Guevara, José Roberto; Morales, Juan Pablo; Solís Loor, Teresa Antonia; Zambrano, Alexandra
    This study addresses arterial hypertension (AHT) as a critical public health problem in Ecuador; it examined its epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and risk factors. A literature and documentary review methodology was used to analyze publications between 2018 and 2024, which included scientific articles, books, and theses available on recognized platforms such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Dialnet. This method ensured the accuracy and relevance of the information by applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a specific focus on studies on epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and risk factors of arterial hypertension in Ecuador. The findings reveal significant variability in the prevalence of HT among different regions and de-mographic groups, highlighting the need for culturally tailored management and treatment approaches. The importance of early detection and effective management of HT was highlighted to prevent serious complica-tions in vital organs and reduce associated mortality. The conclusions underscore the urgency of improving diagnostic and treatment strategies, integrating both pharmacological interventions and lifestyle modifications. It identifies the need for more personalized and culturally sensitive public health policies to address variability in the prevalence and management of HTN. The study also recommends strengthening public education and awareness of HT to encourage earlier detection and effective management, with a view toward future research that will delve deeper into the causes of the observed disparities and develop more effective intervention me-thods that consider genetic and environmental factors.

    (2024-11-04) Pedraza González, Xenia; Vaca Bedoya, Marco Andrés; Solís Loor, Teresa Antonia; Zambrano Ibarra, Alexandra Lilibeth
    The study, carried out at Consulting Group Ecuador, Santo Domingo headquarters, aimed to analyze the number of graduates and dropout trends in health assistant degrees between 2018 and 2023. With a quantitative approach and a descriptive cross-sectional design, 6,154 students from five auxiliary training courses and three health specialties, such as Prehospital Care (APH) and Nursing, were studied. For data collection, a registration form was used, where variables such as year, degree, number of enrollees, dropouts, causes of dropout and graduates were included. The data were processed in Excel and analyzed in SPSS using ANOVA to evaluate significant differences in graduation and dropout. The results showed a sustained growth of graduates, especially in Nursing and APH. The initial dropout rate was higher in the first modules, progressively decreasing. The main causes of dropout were a lack of vocation in the first modules, academic difficulties and economic problems, accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was concluded that, although the training capacity increased, reflected in a high number of graduates and a dropout rate of less than 22%, it is recommended to reinforce early vocational guidance interventions; contributing to reducing dropout and consolidating the achievements observed in the training of health assistants.
