Objective: To describe the food intake of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus before and after teleorientation and telemonitoring sessions. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental study conducted with 80 participants with a diagnosis of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, whose food intake was evaluated at the beginning of the intervention and at the end of the scheduled teleorientation and telemonitoring sessions. Results: At the beginning of the intervention, only 6.25 % of the participants showed an adequate food intake, which increased to 71.25 % at the end of the scheduled teleorientation and telemonitoring sessions. Conclusions: The implementation of a nutrition teleorientation and telemonitoring system in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus improves their food intake, thus confirming the efficacy of using ICTs in health interventions for the benefit of the population.

Objective: To determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of urinary tract infections (UTIs) supported by the diagnosis, therapy and antimicrobial susceptibility of inpatients of the Pediatric Unit of the Hospital Regional de Moquegua from 2014 to 2020. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study. The research included a population of 248 patients aged between 1 month and 14 years 11 months 30 days with a diagnosis of UTI who underwent a urine culture. A data collection sheet was used and the results were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics statistical software 23.0. Results: The infection occurred more often in female patients (82.26 %), with fever being the most prevalent clinical manifestation (83.87 %). The most widely used medical treatment was amikacin (49.19 %). E. coli was the most frequently isolated germ (70.57 %). The isolated germs showed sensitivity to antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin (70.16 %), ceftazidime (51.20 %), gentamicin (43.14 %) and amikacin (28.62 %). In contrast, they were resistant to sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim (74.59 %). One of the most common findings in the imaging tests was unilateral pyelectasis (43.14 %). Conclusions: UTIs occur more frequently in women. The anamnesis and clinical examination, together with a complete urinalysis and imaging tests, are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. The definitive diagnosis must be established by a urine culture. The choice of an empirical therapy will depend on the patient’s history of sensitivity and resistance to antibiotics based on the urine cultures performed.

Objective: To determine the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 patients treated at the Emergency Department of the Hospital Militar Central Luis Arias Schreiber from July to October 2020. Materials and methods: A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study was carried out with 89 patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on molecular and/or rapid tests. The information was collected from the daily progress report of the patients treated at the hospital’s Emergency Department from July to October 2020. The results were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics V25.0. Results: Males were more likely to test positive for COVID-19 (84.27 %). Most cases occurred in patients aged between 50 and 59 (34.83 %). The highest percentage of deaths was found in patients older than 70 years, out of whom 71.43 % were females. Comorbidities were reported in patients aged 40 and older, out of whom 67.41 % had at least one of them. Obesity was the most frequent comorbidity, followed by hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sixty-seven point four one percent (67.41 %) of the patients required non-invasive ventilation and most of them were hospitalized. Twenty-one point three four percent (21.34 %) of the patients required mechanic ventilation and 68.42 % were admitted to the intensive care unit. Conclusions: The most common characteristics of COVID-19 patients are male sex, ages between 50 and 59 years old, and obesity. Additionally, using non-invasive ventilation had a better prognosis than using mechanical ventilation.
