Background: It has been shown that delirium cases occur more frequently in patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. However, not everyone is diagnosed or treated correctly. Negligence towards such dysfunction costs between 4 and 16 billion dollars annually in the United States.
Schwannoma is a benign tumor of the Schwann cells of the neural sheath. The exact cause is unknown, but it can occur due to any gene defect or associated with certain disorders. It is a non spreading tumor, and it commonly affects the head and neck region. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Schwannoma over the past 5 years with the help of an institutional data. Knowledge regarding the prevalence of Schwannoma is required when it comes to research purposes and it would be better when the treatment options are considered.
Objetivo: Determinar si es mejor la eficacia de las férulas de compresión neumática en comparación con las medias compresivas para prevenir la trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) en pacientes del Centro Médico Naval.
Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality. PPH is commonly defined as a blood loss of 500ml or more within 24 hours after birth. Most deaths resulting from PPH occur during the first 24 hours after birth. World health organization statistics suggest that 25% of maternal deaths are due to PPH. The non- pneumatic anti- shock garment is used to prevent hypovolemic shock. We studied its efficacy for reducing maternal deaths due to postpartum hemorrhage by using them for cases of PPH transported in ambulance. Objectives of the study 1.
Introduction: Magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive method of stimulating brain and peripheral nervous system using induced currents, when used to stimulate brain it is normally referred to as Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The last decade has seen a rapid increase in applications of TMS to study cognition, behavior relations and the pathophysiology of various neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Further increase in the widespread use of TMS in medical therapeutic and research applications is expected.
Background: Diabetic foot, an entity with great polymorphism, includes from minimal to catastrophic injuries like gangrene. Treatment is debridement, infection management, and revascularization procedures when indicated. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy improves tissue hypoxia and promotes fibroblast proliferation. Goals: To determine the effectiveness of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment that increase fibroblasts production in diabetic foot wounds.
Background: The potentially inappropriate pharmacological prescription in older adults occurs when the risk of adverse effects is greater than the clinical benefit when prescribing a medication. Objective: Determine the risk factors for potentially inappropriate drug prescription in older adults. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, prospective and analytical study in patients who visited the Veracruz Specialties Naval Hospital. Including age from 65 years, at least one chronic condition and at least one control medication.

Introduction: Sickle cell anemia is characterized by chronic red cell hemolysis which leads to chronic anemia. Patients with sickle cell may be asymptomatic (steady-state) even with anemia. One easy and minimally invasive method of assessing anemia is by using the packed cell volume. Objective: The study aimed at determining the steady-state packed cell volume among sickle cell patients and to ascertain if Doppler ultrasound can be used to predict the degree of anemia in sickle cell disease.
