Glaciological Mass balance of Znosko Glacier, King George Island.

The present article objective is to determine the net mass balance of the glacier Znosko for periods 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. It is situated on King George Island which belongs to the groups Shetland of the South, Antarctic Peninsula region. For this objective, during February 2018 a net of 19 stakes (which were controlled once during February 2019 and 2020) were installed on the glacier ablation zone, drilling in the accumulation zone and about flights using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to control the glacier zone and geomorphological changes.

Production of New Biopesticides from for the Control of Coffee Rust () under Laboratory and Field Conditions.

One of the diseases with the greatest economic impact on coffee cultivation worldwide and particularly in Peru is coffee rust (). The search for sustainable control methods as disease management strategies in coffee cultivation is necessary. The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of five biopesticides based on lemon verbena () for the control of rust applied in laboratory and field conditions to allow the recovery of coffee ( L.

Managing antibiotics wisely in a neonatal intensive care unit in a low resource setting.

Background And Objectives: Unnecessary early antibiotic exposure is deleterious, it may induce the selection of multi-drug-resistant organisms. The objective of this project was to decrease antibiotic exposure of newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Hospital Cayetano Heredia, a level 3 unit in Lima, Peru.

Methods: Quality improvement project in which we implemented an antibiotic stewardship program for early onset sepsis in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Incidence and microbiological characteristics of neonatal late onset sepsis in a neonatal intensive care unit in Peru.

Objectives: Our study aimed to determine the incidence of late onset sepsis and the most frequent microorganisms causing it in the neonatal unit at Hospital Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru.

Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study. We reviewed all positive blood cultures and cultures of cerebrospinal fluid drawn from inborn patients beyond 72 h of life, admitted to the neonatal unit from January 2015 to December 2019.

Factors Associated with Survival and Survival without Major Morbidity in Very Preterm Infants in Two Neonatal Networks: SEN1500 and NEOCOSUR.

Introduction: Very low-birth weight (VLBW) infants represent a high-risk population for morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Variability in practices and outcomes between centers has been acknowledged. Multicenter benchmarking studies are useful to detect areas of improvement and constitute an interesting research tool.
