Item Association between Cervical Cancer and Dietary Patterns in Colombia(2023-12) Meneses Urrea, Luz Adriana; Vaquero Abellán, Manuel; Villegas Arenas, Dolly; Benachi Sandoval, Narly; Hernández Carrillo, Mauricio; Molina Recio, GuillermoCervical cancer is a global public health problem. It is the second leading cause of death among women of childbearing age worldwide. Several factors, including diet, have been shown to influence the risk of persistent HPV infection and tumor progression. This paper determines the relationship between dietary patterns and cervical cancer. It is an ecological study of multiple groups, based on twonational sources: the High-Cost Account and the National Survey of Nutritional Situation of Colombia of 2015. The population consisted of 3472 women aged 35 to 64. The incidence of cervical cancer was used as the dependent variable while the independent variables included food consumption according to established patterns, area of residence, age, physical activity, and BMI, among other variables. The statistical analysis performed through associations between variables was evaluated by multiple linear regression using R2. 38.9% of the evaluated population belonged to the first quartile of wealth, and 76.5% resided in the municipal capital. The incidence of cervical cancer in Colombia was associated with being affiliated to a state-subsidized health regime and having diabetes mellitus. A conservative eating pattern, as well as belonging to a rural area, are evidenced as protective factors. These results invite the need to encourage public policies and promote healthy lifestyles.Item Consumo autoreportado de sustancias psicoactivas ilegales en una población habitante de calle de Cali, Colombia(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2014-11-08) Hernández Carrillo, Mauricio; Álvarez Claros, Katherine E.; Osorio Sabogal, Iván AlbertoObjetivo Determinar la prevalencia autoreportada de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas ilegales en una población habitante de calle de la ciudad de Cali. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de prevalencia de periodo. La población objetivo fueron 763 habitantes de calle registrados durante el año 2010 en la base de datos proporcionada por un hogar de paso de la ciudad de Cali. El análisis estadístico se realizó en R versión 3.2.0. Investigación sin riesgo según la resolución 8430 de 1993. Resultados El 76,9 % de los habitantes de calle reconoce que consume algún tipo de sustancia psicoactiva ilegal (SPAI). Las sustancias que presentaron mayor prevalencia de consumo en esta población fueron: la marihuana (51,2 %), el bazuco (44,6 %) y la cocaína (11,3 %). Se encontró que 28,6 % de los habitantes de calle consumen SPAI más de tres veces por día y que la principal vía de administración es fumada (54,7 %). La mitad de los entrevistados manifestó haber estado internado alguna vez en un centro de rehabilitación. Discusión Las cifras del presente estudio muestran que el consumo de SPAI afecta de manera significativa la población habitante de calle, siendo la marihuana y el bazuco las de mayor uso, situación compleja si se tiene en cuenta su fácil acceso y los graves efectos degenerativos que causan en la salud física y mental de quienes las consumen. Por esto es necesario apoyar iniciativas encaminadas a intervenir este fenómeno social.Item Knowledge, attitudes, perceptions and community practices for urban malaria. Tumaco, Colombia(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2018-01-01) Molineros Gallón, Luís Fernando; Hernández Carrillo, Mauricio; Castro-Espinosa, Jobany; Trujillo de Cisneros, ElizabethObjective To describe the condition of malaria in the District 5 of San Andres de Tumaco-Nariño-Colombia, with regards to knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and community practices. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2014. Logistic analysis of the CAP-PP survey of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) was carried out. Statistical modeling was adjusted through the logarithm of likelihood test, the Pseudo R2, the Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Results The variables that influence the disease of malaria are: taking medicines, malaria tests and vector control by spraying at home. It is important to keep clean ditches around the house in order for people to be protected against the disease. Conclusion Although the population reported having knowledge, attitudes, community practices, and perceptions about the issue, these do not generate protection against the disease. Variables such as carrying out activities in the family and ignorance about the name of the mosquito that transmits malaria must be taken into account for the formulation of community intervention plans. © 2018, Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

Métodos Estudio de corte transversal en los estudiantes de sexto a noveno grado de una institución privada de la ciudad de Santiago de Cali. Para evaluar el bullying se usó la escala de Cisneros. Para controlar variables de confusión, se realizó un análisis multivariado mediante regresión logística no condicional. Resultados Se evaluaron 198 estudiantes, en quienes la edad promedio fue de 12,86 (DE=1,31) años. 50,5 % eran mujeres y 49,5 % hombres. La prevalencia de bullying fue 20,3 %. Se encontró asociación significativa entre ser víctima de bullying y disfunción familiar (leve y severa), así como con síntomas ansiosos. Conclusiones El bullying en estudiantes de sexto a noveno grado de esta institución educativa de Cali es un fenómeno frecuente y puede estar asociado a disfunción familiar leve y severa así como a síntomas de ansiedad con importancia clínica. Se requieren investigaciones adicionales para validar estos resultados.Item A propósito de una nueva clasificación del embarazo a término. Resultados neonatales en una clínica de tercer nivel de atención en cali, Colombia. Un estudio de corte transversal, 2013(Federacion Colombiana de Asociaciones de Obstetricia y Ginecologia (FECOLSOG), 2016-10-26) Cifuentes-Borrero, Rodrigo; Hernández Carrillo, Mauricio; Toro-Cifuentes, Ana María; Franco-Torres, Viviana R.; Cubides, Ángela Mayerly; Duarte-González, Ingrid J.Objective: To apply the classification of term delivery of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, describe the frequency of the various categories, and explore neonatal outcomes among groups. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study including pregnant women considered initially healthy with a term pregnancy defined on the basis of the last reliable menstruation and ultrasound performed in the first half of the gestation period in a private, Level III clinic, in Cali, Colombia, in 2013. Deliveries were classified as early term, full term and late term. Social and demographic characteristics of the mothers and perinatal outcomes are described. The frequency of each category is described and group comparisons are performed using the variance analysis (ANOVA),and the Kruskal-Wallis or Chi-square test. Results: Of 502 births, 200 (39.8 %) were classified as early term, 354 (50.6 %) as full term, and 48 (9.6 %) as late term. There was a higher frequency of contributive insurance coverage and high risk pregnancies in the early term group. Statistically significant differences were observed in terms of low birth weight and average neonatal weight in the early term group, whereas neonatal asphyxia was higher in the late term group. There were no differences in terms of respiratory distress syndrome or length of stay. Conclusion: It is feasible to apply the new ACOG term pregnancy classification. The frequency of early term delivery is high in Colombia. There was no evidence of significant differences in neonatal outcomes between the three groups except for higher neonatal asphyxia in the late term group.
