Material y Métodos: 16 381 lesiones de causa externa, del Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia, registrados durante el 2004, fueron caracterizados por: edad, sexo, y estado civil. Se clasificaron en 3 grupos: Grupo 1 (Ocupacionales, Domésticos y Recreacionales) Grupo 2 (Accidentes de tráfico y Agresiones) y Grupo 0 (agresiones animales y no tipificados).Se compararon los riesgos solo de los Grupos 1 y 2 por su Razón de probabilidades (OR) en relación a hora, día de la semana y estación del año de ocurrencia, El procesamiento se hizo por Stata 8 y SPSS. Resultados: Hubo un mayor Riesgo en todos los tipos de lesiones en varones, jóvenes y solteros. El Grupo 1 fue más prevalente en los meses de ver...

The present work shows how we can do these two ways with examples that come from Latin American countries. Alma Ata enunciated the way, through primary health care, solving through it the essential problems of local health, which would be achieved through the strategy of healthy communities and those that seek universal coverage of health services. Healthy communities promote the satisfaction of basic needs for a dignified life, and therefore the inequalities in health determinants. Thus by improving family nutrition will disappear, and if the barriers to access to health services are reduced, universal access to them will be achieved, of equal quality in the face of equal need. Social justice interventions are potentially emancipatory. There are a lot of significant interventions as law 100 of Colombia to obtain universal access to has social justice, but very few of them break the barriers to access, meaning a lack of sanitary justice. Therefore, even after satisfying universal access to health services, differences in health equity persist.

Using the file Project in physical and presentation slides, the most representative examples of each type of study were selected. These were identified as representing the following types of studies: descriptive, analytical, and ecological (all retrospective), and of intervention and experimental clinical epidemiology. The results are compared with similar findings with thesis projects at the Master level, finding similar proposals, but of lower level. The uses of different epidemiological designs are discussed. The process of formulating thesis projects meets the requirements for the School of Biological Sciences URP and allows objective evaluation of the proposals.

Los alumnos de Salud Pública de la escuela de Ciencias Veterinarias de la Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas serán los encargados de realizar la aplicación del presente trabajo de campo. Cabe señalar que se seleccionó Manchay porque presenta malas condiciones de vida y el más alto índice de desnutrición crónica infantil del distrito de Pachacamac. En esta comunidad se trabajará en seis proyectos: Seguridad Alimentaria, Seguridad Ciudadana, Áreas Verdes, Control de Perros Callejeros, Embarazo de Adolescentes y Proyectos Productivos (Cerámica).

Th is study evaluated the presence of Toxocara spp. eggs, degree of upkeep of public parks, presence of fences, and also, verifi ed whether a correlation exists between the presence of these eggs and the presence of dogs and children in the parks inspected. It was determined that 90% of public parks in the district of Jesús de Nazareno are contaminated with Toxocara eggs, a 70% have low contamination and a 20% have a moderate contamination. As for the presence of perimeter fences, the absence of these fences was observed in 60% of cases, the Eta analysis found a low association (0.15) between the presence of fences and the degree of contamination. Th e correlation between the presence of dogs with the presence of Toxocara eggs was low. Finally, the largest concentration of children is found in public playgrounds, where there degree of contamination is low, indicating that the infection risk decreases but potentially always could mean a public health problem.

Material and methods Descriptive research based on the monthly report made by Lima Metropolitana Municipality (LM), from database of the Legal Medicine Institute, registered from 2011 to 2017, with a unit and bivariate analysis characterizing TA, deceased and its relationship with the time of occurrence, day of the week, sex and age, alcohol consumption and data from the National Police on frequency of AT and age and sex of deceased. Results It is evident that there is a relationship between the variables, considering also that the growth of the vehicle fleet is parallel to the TA. Thus, the department of Lima has a frequency of cases and deaths lower than expected, showing that it is necessary to measure the occurrence by districts. The percentage of female deaths in Lima is 19% and 23% in the rest of the country, 67% between 26 to 60 years and in the rest of the country 57%, with fewer young men dying. Temporary deaths decreased every day of the week and hours at dawn. The highest frequency of deaths is related to the number of hours spent. Conclusions The decrease in deaths due to AT in LM is lower than in other countries, possibly due to the lack of commitment of some of the 43 municipalities; however, the change in age and sex after the intervention is like that in Cali. The ‘safe time’ has evidence for its application throughout the country.

Se selecciono el paradigma cualitativo, asumiendo la fenomenología así como elementos hermenéuticos. El estudio demostró la construcción colectiva de propuestas hacia una nueva cultura política dirigida a universalizar los derechos básicos, la justicia y equidad. Los significados revelaron que las políticas públicas saludables constituyen una secuencia de respuestas integradas y sostenidas, resultado de procesos multisectoriales y transdisciplinarios del Estado con mediación social, cuyas dinámicas participativas garantizan llevar objetivos comunes a la praxis y asumir compromisos con el fin de actuar sobre aquellos determinan...

An overall incidence of 31.06% was found, with a statistically significant increase in prevalence with regard to age. No statistically significant differences with regard to sex or occupation were found. Although incidence of pterygium was higher in men and in outdoor workers, these factors were not statistically significant.

Changes in the proportions of puppies in the canine population throughout the year were similar to the seasonal distribution of canine rabies. This finding has implication for the funding and thrust of any control programme.
