Environmental health and sustainability are closely related concepts that imply the harmonization of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development. In this context, the influence of endomarketing on the achievements of the sustainability and healthy environment policy of Supermercados Peruanos S.A. (SPSA), a leading chain in the retail sector in Peru, is analyzed. SPSA communicates and involves its employees in the incorporation of environmental practices that guarantee the development and well-being of current and future generations, such as: reducing energy consumption through the efficient use of equipment and LED lighting, integrated management of solid waste through segregation, recycling and recovery, reducing water consumption through saving systems and installation of own plants, voluntary compensation for emissions through certified forestry projects, and promoting responsible consumption through educational campaigns and green offers, among others. The results indicate that the respondents have a positive perception of the internal communication, continuous training and participation and integration that is fostered in SPSA to promote the environmental culture, but a less favorable perception of the recognition and incentives that SPSA provides for the environmental performance of its employees. These results suggest that endomarketing has contributed to inform, train and unite employees around the environmental policy, but could improve in the valuation and reward of environmental achievements.

The contamination of drinking water with different chemicals and heavy metals, released from different anthropogenic sources, has become a global concern. Contamination of drinking water is a relatively new but steadily increasing problem as a result of population growth, urbanization and industrialization unprecedented since the 1990s, with significant implications for both the environment and human health. Contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation are linked to the transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery and polio. Much research has been done around water and human rights. However, international campaigns for access to drinking water and the campaign against privatization could increase the political priority towards water and force governments and the State to ensure basic water needs. That is why the application of the Health Risk Index is a key element in the detection and definition of priority areas, seeking to evaluate and characterize a resident population based on the health risk exposed. Although the State is responsible for ensuring vulnerability to risks associated with all services, including water, education must start from the youngest, and it is there, where teachers and professors must encourage critical thinking so that the educated can be multiplying entities. In this article, the definitions of critical thinking and reflective practice are analyzed under the collection of information related to the experiences of health risk in the Republic of Peru, going through the basic education teacher to the students, making an analysis of the behavior of this phenomenon in the educational system and finally evaluating critically the national curricular design.

To analyze the factors associated with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-Ab) infection, treated at the intensive care unit (ICU) in the city of Trujillo, northern Peru. Case-control study in which 60 medical records of patients admitted to the ICU from three main hospitals in the city of Trujillo in northern Peru were reviewed, divided according to the presence or absence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infection (30 patients per group). The OR of the main postulated associated factors was calculated, then a multivariate analysis was performed. The average age was 60.3 and 46.3 years in patients with and without MDR-Ab respectively, being over 75 years old was significantly associated with MDR-Ab, prolonged ICU stay occurred in 90% of patients with Ab-MDR. MDR (OR: 13.5, p<0.001), hypoalbuminemia predominated in 86.7% of patients with MDR infection (OR: 4.33, p=0.041), 83.3% of patients with MDR-Ab were exposed to a central venous catheter (CVC) (OR:3.82; p=0.049), likewise, all patients had previous antibiotic therapy. Multivariate analysis showed that prolonged ICU stay (p=0.035) and CVC use (p=0.008) were independently associated with MDR-Ab infection.

Groundwater can be an inexhaustible source for various human activities; but also, very vulnerable to chemical and microbiological contamination, so it must be constantly monitored to know its quality in relation to the different uses made of the aquifers. In turn, the water quality indices (WQI) allow the transmission of information on the quality of the water resource, both to the competent authorities and to the general public, in a simple and concise manner. In the present investigation, three different ICA (weighted Arithmetic ICA, ICA-CCME and ICA-Bhargava) were compared in 32 deep wells in a rural area of the Miranda municipality (Zulia, Venezuela), taking into account the parameters: pH, turbidity, color, total dissolved solids, chloride, sulfate, sodium, total hardness, nitrate+nitrite, total iron, total manganese, total and fecal coliform bacteria. The results highlight that, with respect to the ICA-CCME, 22% of the wells have a "fair" quality, while for the ICA-Bhargava 100% were "average", due to the presence of coliform bacteria. In addition, for the weighted ICA-Arithmetic, 25.0% exhibited a "poor" classification. In general, the weighted ICA-Arithmetic and ICA-CCME revealed that 75% and approximately 16% of the wells, respectively, have adequate conditions for human consumption, while for the ICA-Bhargava, none is suitable for said purpose. This discrepancy between the results of the different ICAs is due to the number and type of parameters considered. However, none of the wells fully accomplished with the permissible limits established by the World Health Organization for human consumption, being unsuitable for this use, therefore, the ICA that best adjusted to the water quality of the area of study was the ICA-Bhargava, since it corresponds to the results shown by the referred norms.

Parasitic infestations are a public health problem in marginal communities, which can be combated with the contribution of professional knowledge that generates changes in human behavior that would help to prevent them. As an objective, it was proposed to determine the university social projection as an axis for the prevention of parasitic infestations in marginal communities of Peru. The study was descriptive-cross-sectional in the period February-August 2022, with a sample of 11 community promoters and 164 households from three communities in the Huánuco Province of Peru. As a data collection instrument, a pre-test and post-test was applied after the training on parasitic infestations. The data was stored in Microsfot Excel and processed through the statistical package to know frequencies (%) and confidence intervals. As a result, 36.36% of the promoters were 41-45 years old, 45.45% had higher education and 27.27% were housewives, 17.07% of the caregiver mothers were 31-35 years old, 75 00% were high school graduates and 32.32% were housewives, 63.64% of the promoters' capacities knew about pediculosis and 54.55% showed competence to promote deworming of animals, while the mothers who were caregivers 67, 07% in the prevention of it and 64.02% combed the girls' hair before taking them to school, in the post-test the changes were significant, raising the %. In conclusion, it is necessary to continue working on the application of health education programs, modifying human behaviors and habits to prevent parasitic infestation diseases.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that has caused significant rates of morbidity and mortality in the world population, scientific evidence has sought to describe the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2. In Peru, the first case was registered on March 6, 2020. Since then, medical personnel have made efforts to establish an adequate and effective clinical approach. In this context, it was intended to epidemiologically and clinically characterize COVID-19 from 184 positive cases, through a rapid test, treated in the emergency room of the José Casimiro Ulloa Hospital. A descriptive, retrospective and sectional investigation was carried out. As results, the male sex predominated 67.93% (125/184) with an average age of 56 years; compared to the female sex, 32.07% (59/184), with a median of 52 years. For the symptoms, in 100% of the cases fever and dry cough were reported; followed by 46.74% dyspnea and odynophagia, respectively. In turn, 33.5% showed nasal congestion and 21.74% chest pain. Paraclinical examinations showed decreased oxygen saturation (100%), lymphopenia (66.14%), and increased CRP (66.14%). In the TEM, 100% of the patients presented alterations suggestive of COVID-19. In conclusion, in SARS-CoV-2 infection, there is a predominance in males, with a higher incidence between the fourth and fifth decades of life. Fever, dry cough and dyspnea were frequent symptoms. TEM showed pulmonary alterations in all cases, demonstrating high sensitivity for the timely diagnosis of COVID-19.

Dermatophytoses are superficial mycoses that affect the general population, due to their low lethality they can be underestimated as part of neglected diseases. As an objective, it was proposed to determine the prevalence of dermatophytosis in Chimborazo, Ecuador, during the period January 2021 to July 2022. The study was quantitative-descriptive, cross-sectional, whose sample consisted of 279 patients with suggestive lesions. As a data collection instrument, a sociodemographic survey was applied and samples of the lesions were taken from each patient, grouped into 7 topographies, it was carried out directly with 40% KOH and cultures in Sabouraud honey agar, Sabouraud dextrose agar and potato agar for identification. differentiation and diagnosis of the pathogen. Data were stored in Microsoft Excel® and analyzed using the Epidat 3.0 statistical package. As a result, a general prevalence of 72.04% (201/279) was found, of which 46.59% (130/279) corresponded to the male sex between 20 and 29 years of age (14.70%), where 33.33% (93/279) were identified with dermatophytes, 17.56% (49/279) with Malassezia spp., 16.49% (46/279) with Candida spp., 3.23% (9/279) with non-dermatophyte Mold, 1.08% (3/279) with Dermatophytes and Candida spp. and 0.36% (1/279) with No dermatophytes and Candida spp. respectively, whose most affected areas were the nails and smooth skin and the most noticeable risk factor was living with animals. In conclusion, it is essential to continue with prevalence studies in locations in Ecuador, so that actions can be taken at the public health level.

There is a bidirectional relation between COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus (DM); the latter is associated with a greater risk of severe COVID-19, and newly appeared DM has been observed in patients with COVID-19. A single cohort study was conducted with an exploratory analysis to assess the frequency of DM in patients after having had COVID-19, in Lima, Peru. Patients over 18 years old were included, who presented severe cases of COVID-19 and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) within normal values at admission. New blood glucose tests were carried out during the recovery stage prior to discharge in total, there were 55 patients found with DM. A higher proportion of vaccinated patients, a lower average age and less severe cases may have contributed to a lower frequency of cases compared to other studies.

Since the outbreak of the HIV pandemic, more than 30 million people have died from AIDS in the last 40 years; thus the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) continue to spread throughout the world. The effectiveness of retrovirals with modern drug combinations for the treatment of HIV/AIDS allows many people to improve their life expectancy. Although retrovirals have achieved a better quality of life among patients suffering from the disease, the disease can result in a number of adverse physical and physiological effects. In many cases, patients infected with the HIV/AIDS virus could be treated with other alternative forms adjunct to retroviral treatment such as physical exercises. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of positive emotions generated after physical activity in various parks in the city of Lima as a complementary therapy in HIV/AIDS patients. For this, 25 patients divided into two groups were studied: a control of 10 people who was not under the exercise program, and a second group of 15 people who underwent an exercise regimen for one year. The experiments were analyzed using a Likert-type survey that measured participants' positive emotions and CD4 T-cell count. The results showed that people under the exercise regimen had a higher assessment of both positive emotions and CD4 T cells.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, which currently affects almost a third of the world population, with the most pregnant being the most affected. As an objective, it was proposed to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant women. The study was quantitative, descriptive, experimental, cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 372 pregnant women between the ages of 14 and 40, who attended a gynecological consultation at a public hospital in the El Oro Province, Ecuador. As a data collection instrument, once the informed consent was signed, a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied and a venous blood sample was collected without anticoagulant for the serological determination of IgM and IgG anti-T. gondii through capture immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) (IgM) and indirect immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) (IgG) Vircell Microbiologists®. Data were stored in Microsoft Excel and processed with the SPSS statistical package to find seroprevalence values, 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) and Chi-square with p: <0.005. As a result, a seroprevalence of 20.16% (75/372) was found, where the most affected age group was 24 to 28 years (25.23%), 92% (69/72) presented IgG antibodies and 8% (6/72) IgM, a significant statistical association was found between marital status and the presence of antibodies against T. gondii (p: 0.0156), 20.51% had cats inside the house and 22.75% handled feces of the cats It is necessary to implement educational actions and strategies in the fight against toxoplasmosis in Ecuador.
