Item Análisis del somatotipo en relación al riesgo cardiovascular en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2022) Ospina Urrego, Angie Nathalia; Del Toro Narváez, Luziana; Vargas Ramírez, Marelyn Valentina; Vitery Ramos, Jenny del Rosario (Directora); Lozada Ramos, Heiler (Director)Body fat mass has shown dimorphism by gender, which determines morphology according to the percentage of fat and its distribution, visceral fat being one of the main cardiovascular risk factors conditioning most chronic diseases. cardiovascular type and others. In the study of body composition, the somatotype determines the external appearance of the individual and the relationship that it has with body tissues, based on anthropometric measurements, showing three phenotypes (endomorphy, mesomorphy, ectomorphy).Item Factores asociados a mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 y síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo manejados con decúbito prono y ventilación mecánica invasiva(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Hoyos de Armas, Beatriz Helena; Lozada Ramos, Heiler (Director); Daza Arana, Jorge Enrique (Director)This observational analytical case-control study conducted in an ICU in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, aimed to identify risk factors associated with mortality in $122$ adult patients with severe COVID-19 requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and prone positioning. Despite intensive management, which has historically shown a case-fatality rate of up to $50\%$, the bivariate analysis found that age $>65$ years, lack of prior vaccination, thrombocytopenia, high SOFA score, and the need for vasopressors and inotropes were significantly associated with mortality. A multivariate logistic regression model concluded that a history of Diabetes Mellitus (OR $44.91$), COPD (OR $7.74$), autoimmune disease (OR $17.84$), incomplete COVID-19 vaccination status (OR $29.87$), requirement for vasopressors (OR $8.37$) and inotropes (OR $40.99$), and a severe Modified RALE score (OR $7.01$) were independent risk factors for mortality. The study highlights that clinical history, vaccination status, and ICU admission status significantly influence hospital mortality outcomes in severely ill COVID-19 subjects, which is crucial for alerting clinicians to the risk profile of critically ill adult patients during the acute stage of SARS-CoV-2 infection.Item Medidas utilizadas en la ecografía diafragmática en pacientes adultos en cuidado intensivo: una revisión de alcance(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2022) Molano Porras, Karol Tatiana; García Flórez, Karen Julieth; Carabalí Molina, Arley; Daza Arana, Jorge Enrique (Director); Lozada Ramos, Heiler (Director)Item Meningitis aséptica asociada a parotiditis viral en paciente adulto inmunocompetente: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Astudillo Ponce, Nicolás; Vargas Gutiérrez, Anderson; Lozada Ramos, Heiler (Director)Aseptic meningitis due to the mumps virus is a rare complication. Although mumps is the most common clinical manifestation, the virus can cause serious complications such as meningitis, which in some cases can trigger severe neurological sequelae. This case report addresses an adult patient diagnosed with meningitis due to the mumps virus, describing the clinical presentation, the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, and emphasizing vaccination as a preventive measure. This case alerts us to the importance of rigorous clinical surveillance combined with early detection of meningeal complications in individuals with mumps. A timely intervention can reduce diagnosis time, thereby achieving adequate management and prompt detection of complications, having a positive impact by reducing costs and sequelae.
