Development of a Simulation Software Algorithm for High-End Mechanical Ventilators with Functionalities to attend COVID-19 Patients.

More than 500 millions of people were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and in Peru there is an increasing the high numbers of cumulative cases; as well as the hospitalized people, where more than 20 % require mechanical ventilation. This condition with other respiratory diseases cause patients to remain connected to a mechanical ventilator until they regain the ability to perform this vital function on their own. Some prototypes with characteristics equivalent to a high-end mechanical ventilator have been developed.

Association between chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and papillary thyroid carcinoma: A retrospective study in surgical specimens.

Introduction: The hypothesis of an association between papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) continues to generate debate. Retrospective studies suggest that there is a greater probability of diagnosing a PTC in surgical specimens with CLT; however, prospective studies suggest that there is no true increase in risk.

Methods: An analytical, cross-section measurement and retrospective study was carried out considering gender, age and diagnosis of CLT and PTC in surgical specimens.
