Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that, although typically develop in the visceral pleura, occasionally occur in the intracranial cavity. Furthermore, they are characterized by high rates of metastasis and recurrence. Case Report: We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient with a 3-month history of headache and bradyphrenia. Computed tomography revealed a neoformative tumor infiltrating the nasal cavity, ethmoid sinuses, and anterior cranial fossa, involving the left frontal lobe. The patient underwent two exploratory craniectomies, during which diagnoses suggestive of high-grade glial neoplasia and SFT were made. For precise diagnosis, immunohistochemistry was performed, which was consistent with solitary fibrous tumor. The case is analyzed, focusing particularly on histopathological aspects, the unusual location of this tumor, and its variable clinical manifestations.

Introduction Since the start of the pandemic, Mexico was one of the countries with the highest mortality rates from COVID 19. Objective To determine if type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, and obesity increase mortality in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who required hospitalization in Mexico. Method Systematic review in Pubmed MeSH, Web of Science, Lilas, Scielo, and Google Scholar with the terms MeSH COVID-19, SARS-COV2, Coronavirus, and Mexico for the years 2020 and 2021, in English or Spanish. Two reviewers selected the studies, two additional reviewers participated in the analysis of the studies. Results Seventy three studies carried out in Mexico from 2020 to 2021 were included with information obtained from the databases of the National Epidemiological Surveillance System of Mexico. With an average age of 52.9 ± 13.27 years, 64% of the included patients were women, in general, a mortality rate of 16.76% (Min-Max 0.77-73.73%) was reported. 71% of the studies (52) did not report specific mortality related to comorbidities the most prevalent pathology was obesity with 24.23% (Min-Max 11.50-71.00%), followed by arterial hypertension 22.23% (Min-Max 2.0-53.96%) and finally Diabetes mellitus with 18.10% (Min-Max 1.83-40.00%). Conclusions The most common comorbidity among patients hospitalized for COVID in Mexico was obesity, followed by type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

Introduction: Diabetes continues to be a leading cause of disability and death in the world's population. About 25% of people with diabetes will develop an ulcer in one of their lower pelvic limbs. Objective: The present study evaluates the clinical aspects related to lower pelvic limb amputation in a cohort of patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study, conducted in collaboration between the Mexican Institute of Social Security and the School of Pharmacy of the Autonomous University of Morelos State, involved a review of records of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Regional General Hospital "Ignacio García Téllez". One hundred clinical and electronic records were selected based on inclusion criteria, which included age over 18 years, affiliation at the study site, diabetes evolution of at least 10 years, pharmacological treatment for diabetes and diagnosis of diabetic foot with complete healing or amputation as an outcome. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA and ethical approval was obtained. Results: Patients with optimal glycemic control by quantifying their fasting glucose levels (<130 mg/dl) as well as their glycated hemoglobin values (< 7%) had a lower frequency of amputations (p˂0.001; Chi2) compared to those patients without adequate glycemic control. Conclusions: Being male, glycosylated hemoglobin values greater than 7% and mean fasting glucose values greater than 130 mg/L were found to increase the likelihood of having a lower extremity amputation.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with a complex genetic and pathogenic basis, often leading to significant comorbidities and a reduced quality of life. Its prevalence varies globally and exhibits an increasing trend over time. Comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health issues further compound the burden of psoriasis. Treatment options range from topical therapies to systemic agents, with biologics playing a prominent role in recent years. However, the safety and efficacy of these treatments are continuously assessed through real-world data. Vitamin D has gained attention as a potential therapeutic target due to its role in immune regulation and skin barrier function. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of oral vitamin D supplementation in ameliorating the severity of psoriasis. After bibliographic search, it was found that psoriasis is a multifaceted condition with significant global implications. Biologics have transformed its management, and oral vitamin D supplementation is a promising avenue for further exploration. A comprehensive, patient-centered approach that considers comorbidities and long-term outcomes is crucial for optimizing psoriasis care. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of vitamin D in psoriasis and its potential as a therapeutic intervention.
银屑病是一种免疫介导的慢性皮肤病，具有复杂的遗传和致病基础，通常会导致严重的并发症和生活质量下降。银屑病的发病率在全球范围内各不相同，并呈逐年上升趋势。银屑病关节炎、心血管疾病和精神健康问题等并发症进一步加重了银屑病的负担。治疗方法从局部治疗到全身用药不等，近年来生物制剂发挥了突出作用。然而，这些治疗方法的安全性和有效性需要不断通过真实世界的数据进行评估。由于维生素 D 在免疫调节和皮肤屏障功能中的作用，它作为一种潜在的治疗靶点受到了关注。本综述旨在评估口服维生素 D 补充剂对改善银屑病严重程度的疗效。经过文献检索，我们发现银屑病是一种对全球具有重大影响的多发性疾病。生物制剂改变了银屑病的治疗方法，而口服维生素 D 补充剂则是一个值得进一步探索的前景广阔的途径。以患者为中心的综合治疗方法考虑了并发症和长期疗效，对于优化银屑病治疗至关重要。要全面了解维生素 D 在银屑病中的作用及其作为治疗干预措施的潜力，还需要进一步的研究。

Introduction: Anemia is a public health problem that mainly affects children under five years of age. Objective: Determine the impact of growth and development control (CRED) in reducing anemia in children under five years of age in Peru considering the analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) 2021. Method: Analytical and cross-sectional study with a secondary analysis of data from the 2021 ENDES survey. Results: 31.4% of children under five years of age had anemia, where 38.3% corresponded to rural areas; 34.0%, male children; 56.9%, under one year old; 38.5% were mothers with primary education and 40.8% belonged to the index of the poorest, showing statistically significant differences. In relation to the CRED, it was evident that 32.4% of children who did undergo a CRED and 30.2% of children who did not had anemia. Regarding the place where it was carried out, it was observed that 32.4% of children who were cared for in a health facility and 32.9% of children who were cared for by the nurse had anemia. Conclusion: Anemia is a public health problem that is present and conditioned by various factors and determinants. During the pandemic, the impact of CRED in reducing anemia was ambiguous, so there are assumptions about whether the interventions are having the desired and expected impact.

Objective. To determine the association of addiction to social networks and the consequences in mental health in human medicine students of the Ricardo Palma University, year 2021. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional observational study, with the participation of 454 human medicine students from first to fifth year, chosen by stratified random sampling proportional to size. The instrument was validated, obtaining a Cronbach's Alpha (α=0.90), the questionnaires used were: Addiction to Social Networks (ARS), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). In order to evaluate the association between variables, we used crude and adjusted prevalence ratio (PR), using the Poisson regression model with the logarithmic link and with the 95% confidence interval. Results. 65.4% were women, with an average age of 21.2 years. A significant association was found between high social network addiction and mental health (PRc: 2.59; 95% CI: 1.92-3.50; p: 0.000) and, likewise, between high and medium levels of social network addiction. social and with depression, anxiety, stress (p: 0.000) and sleep quality (p<0.010), respectively. 41%, 49.1% and 9.9% of the students presented low, medium and high addiction to social networks, respectively. 57.5% had depression, 56.4% anxiety, 70.5% stress and 77.3% poor sleep quality. Conclusions. There was a strong association between ARS and mental health. Therefore, it is recommended that university students visit mental health specialists quarterly for proper identification, evaluation, and management of the problems generated by ARS.

Background. Tuberculosis is a public health problem considered to be the world's leading cause of death from an infectious disease among adults. Diagnosis is often challenging and is based on clinical, epidemiological, radiological, bacteriological, histological and biochemical findings. Timely diagnosis, identification of the susceptibility profile and follow-up compliance is important to enable more effective treatment and avoid severe forms of the disease. Aim. Describe the resistance patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis identified in the period of the year 2022 at Hospital María Auxiliadora. Material and Methods. This is an observational, cross-sectional study of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis throughout the year 2022 in the Tuberculosis Center of Excellence (TB COE), division of the respiratory medicine department at the Hospital Maria Auxiliadora, Lima, Peru. Data was collected from the medical records which was then included for the statistical analysis. The clinical and demographic characteristics were described by absolute frequencies and percentages. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used to evaluate the association between the sensitivity profile of tuberculosis and the independent variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results. A total of 261 medical records were included in the present study. The most frequent age group was 17-59 years old, the majority were male (62.1%) and 15.7% were relapses, as established on national technical standard. Of the total, 89.7% were sensitive to first line drugs; 6.1% of the patients were multidrug-resistant (MDR), and 0.8% presented extensively drug-resistance (XDR); likewise, 0.8% and 2.7% presented resistance for rifampicin only and resistance for isoniazid only respectively. HIV infection was found at 14.2%. The most common form of tuberculosis was pulmonary (49%) followed by pleural tuberculosis (21.8%). Conclusion. Tuberculosis is a worldwide condition whose drug-resistance patterns continue evolving. However, in our hospital, a southern Peru reference Center, most TB patients are still sensitive to first line drugs. Only a small amount of MDR and XDR patients were found. Moreover, the most common clinical presentation was pulmonary followed by pleural tuberculosis.
