IntroducciÓn: En la mayoría de los servicios de emergencia del Perú no se cuenta con un cirujano vascular, teniendo que resolver los problemas vasculares el cirujano general. Es necesario que los cirujanos generales estén entrenados en el manejo vascular, sobre todo de aquellas condiciones que pueden comprometer la vida.
Objetivo: Compartir los resultados del primer curso de cirugía vascular para el cirujano no vascular y el nivel de satisfacción de los alumnos participantes.
MÉtodo: El curso de entrenamiento utilizó cinco modelos de simulación distribuidos en cinco sesiones prácticas. Al final del curso se evaluó a los alumnos usando la escala OSATS (Objetive Structured Assesment of Technical Skills) y se midió el tiempo de anastomosis arterial; adicionalmente se evaluó el nivel de satisfacción del curso.
Resultados: Participaron 12 alumnos, de los cuales ocho cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. La edad media fue de 39.9 años. La calificación OSATS fue de 19 (± 2.1). El tiempo de anastomosis fue de 17.6 (± 7.9) minutos. El nivel de satisfacción global de curso fue de 31.05; no hubo diferencias significativas entre la satisfacción de las diferentes sesiones prácticas (p = 0.85). El alfa de Cronbach de la encuesta fue de 0,96 (excelente).
Conclusiones: El curso intensivo de entrenamiento vascular combina diferentes escenarios quirúrgicos basados en la simulación. El nivel de satisfacción del curso y la fiabilidad de la encuesta para «percepción de las prácticas de simulación» fueron excelentes.
Introduction: In most emergency services in Peru there is no vascular surgeon, the general surgeon having to solve the vascular problems. General surgeons need to be trained in vascular management, especially those life-threatening conditions.
Objective: To share the results of the first course of vascular surgery for the non-vascular surgeon and the level of satisfaction of the participating students.
Method: The training course used five simulation models distributed in five practical sessions. At the end of the course, the students were evaluated using the OSATS (Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills) scale and the arterial anastomosis time was measured; Additionally, the level of satisfaction of the course was evaluated.
Results: 12 students participated, 8 met the inclusion criteria, the mean age was 39.9 years, the OSATS score was 19 (± 2.1) and the anastomosis time 17.6 (± 7.9) minutes. The level of overall course satisfaction was 31.05, there were no significant differences between the satisfaction of the different practical sessions (p = 0.85). The Cronbach’s alpha for the survey was 0.96 (Excellent).
Conclusions: The intensive vascular training course combines different surgical scenarios based on simulation. The level of satisfaction of the course and the reliability of the survey “perception of simulation practices” were excellent.

Succession is one of the most extensively studied ecological phenomena, yet debates persist about the importance of dispersal and external factors in driving this process. We aimed to quantify the influence of these factors by investigating how wing-related traits evolve across succession of blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) communities in South Brazil. Rat carrion was placed in both forest and grassland habitats, and the associated blowfly communities were documented throughout the decomposition process.

Purpose: To compare the color alteration, surface roughness and microhardness and cross-sectional microhardness of bovine enamel treated with at-home whitening strips and gels.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-six pigmented specimens (n = 11) were allocated to six groups: C-cotton wool moistened with distilled water for 1 h; SDS-sodium dithionite strip, for 1 h; HPS-6.5% hydrogen peroxide strip, for 1 h; CPS-20% carbamide peroxide strip, for 1 h; HPG-7.

Women's health is related to several factors that include physical, mental, and reproductive health. Additionally, the vaginal microbiota modulation performs a fundamental role in the regulation of physiological homeostasis and dysbiosis, which provides us a potential overview of the use of different biotic agents and their implications for female health. The objective of this work was propitiated insights and conception about the influence of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics as adjuvants for prevention/treatment on the main infections that can affect women's health.

This study reports the preparation of hydrogels (HG) made with xanthan gum (XG) and ƙ-carrageenan (KC) polysaccharides containing ketoprofen (KET)-loaded nanoemulsions (NK) and their evaluation in a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model. The nano-based HGs exhibited nanometric-sized droplets (~ 100 nm), an acidic pH (5.10-6.
