Effectiveness of Telehealth in the Treatment of Childhood Iron Deficiency Anemia in a Primary Care Facility in Pasco
Childhood iron deficiency anemia is a public health problem that affects the cognitive and physical development processes of children under five years of age and is frequently present in Pasco, Peru. Due to this, telehealth has been implemented as an innovative strategy that allows the use of digital technologies for remote guidance and monitoring. The aim of this work was to determine the effectiveness of telehealth in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children aged 36 to 59 months, by improving the knowledge and practice of their mothers in a health center in the Pasco region. The research was carried out under a quasi-experimental and longitudinal design with 30 mothers of children with iron deficiency anemia recruited by clusters. Likert-type surveys were applied before and after the intervention, which were validated by consensus and through Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The results showed significant increases: the high level of knowledge went from 0% in the pretest to 86.7% in the posttest, while the high level of practice increased from 0% to 83.3%. Statistical tests confirmed significant differences with a p-value of 0.000. Telehealth proved to be an effective tool to improve the management of childhood iron deficiency anemia through the education and empowerment of mothers. These findings could be considered in future implementations of telehealth programs in similar contexts, with the aim of strengthening primary health care and reducing the prevalence of childhood anemia.

Inequalities in Access to Health Services in Peru: Analysis of the Gaps between Rural and Urban Areas
The present research aims to analyze the disparities in access to health services between rural and urban areas in Peru, evaluating structural, economic and cultural factors that limit equity in the health system. The population consisted of users of health services in both rural and urban areas, while the sample was selected through stratified probability sampling that included 1,200 participants. The paradigm used was positivism with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design and cross-sectional or ex-post facto type that allowed the evaluation of existing differences without manipulating variables. The tools used included validated structured questionnaires and statistical records from official sources such as MINSA and INEI. These instruments were subjected to validity and reliability tests through expert judgment to ensure their suitability in the national context. Among the most relevant findings is that there are significant inequities in access to health services: 65% of respondents in rural areas perceived critical barriers compared to 25% in urban areas. In addition, catastrophic costs and cultural barriers account for 57% of access difficulties in rural communities. Finally, it is concluded that the implementation of targeted public policies, such as strengthening infrastructure and the use of telemedicine, would greatly reduce these gaps and improve equity in access to health services in Peru.

Mental health in adolescents and young people: Impact of the social environment and access to care services
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the mental health of adolescents and young adults and their social environment, as well as the obstacles to accessing specialized care services. The study population consisted of adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 24 living in urban and rural areas of Peru, Mexico, and Colombia, while the sample was selected using a stratified random sampling method that included 1,200 respondents. The paradigm used was mixed with a qualitative-quantitative approach, non-experimental design type with a descriptive nature that allows the exploration of variables within their natural context. The instruments used included structured surveys and semi-structured interviews, which were validated by expert judgment and the data analyzed through statistical techniques and thematic analysis. Among the key findings is that the social environment significantly affects emotional well-being: 68% of respondents identified negative factors such as domestic violence and bullying. Similarly, only 23% of adolescents were found to access specialized services due to economic barriers and social stigma. Finally, strategies such as implementing emotional education programs, strengthening community networks, and using telemedicine could help close the gap in access while improving adolescents' quality of life.

Telehealth in Peru according to the National Plans for 2005 and 2020
Telehealth has great potential to provide remote medical assistance in a synchronous or asynchronous manner to those who require it. The objective of this study is to carry out a comparative analysis between the Peruvian Telehealth Plans of 2005 and 2020. This article is a documentary review. The contents of these two regulatory documents pertaining to the Peruvian health sector were meticulously traced. The results indicate that telehealth has emerged as a necessary and essential alternative for the improvement of health care in areas with difficult access geography. Although the 2005 resolution had a necessary starting point, its scope was restricted. In contrast, the 2020 resolution achieved significant progress in the incorporation of telehealth, although it also highlighted the need to continue investing in infrastructure and training of health sector employees to ensure equitable and adequate care. Although progress has been made in telehealth, there are still important challenges that require attention in order to consolidate a more effective and viable system.

Impact of safety alerts on the pattern of drug use and prescribing in Hospitals, 2018 - 2023
Objective: To determine the impact of safety alerts on the pattern of use and prescription of medications in hospitals in Lima, period 2018-2023. Method: A quantitative approach was used, with an observational type, comparative descriptive level, cross-sectional and retrospective design. Four Digemid Alerts that restricted the use of Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics were analyzed. Their impact on the second variable "pattern of use and prescription of medications" was evaluated through the consumption rates recorded during the study period for Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and Paracetamol, the latter considered as a possible replacement medication. Results: The results indicate that alerts have led to a significant reduction in the consumption indicator (Defined Daily Dose per 1000 patient-days) of Ibuprofen in one hospital, where the DID decreased from 7.3 to 4.0 after the first alert (p < 0.05). In contrast, another hospital showed a significant increase in Ibuprofen consumption from 9.6 to 22.6 DID. In addition, a replacement shift in the prescribing pattern between Ibuprofen and Paracetamol was observed in one hospital (p < 0.05) after the issuance of an alert. Conclusions: The alerts influence the pattern of use and prescription of non-steroidal analgesics. However, its effectiveness varies depending on the hospital context. Improved communication strategies and ongoing training are needed to optimize the implementation of safety alerts and improve patient safety.

Lead in blood and its relationship with hemoglobin and hematocrit in children exposed to mining pollution, Apurímac 2023
Exposure to heavy metals causes a high level of lead in the blood, which causes various problems in various organs, including a deficit in the production of hemoglobin, which causes anemia. This circumstance was the impetus to carry out this research study. The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between blood lead levels and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in children aged 0 to 11 years exposed to mining pollution in the community of the district and province of Andahuaylas in the department of Apurímac. . A non-experimental quantitative and descriptive design was used. 98 minors from 0 to 11 years of age, registered in the district and province of Andahuaylas in the department of Apurímac, participated in the "lead in blood and its relationship with hemoglobin and hematocrit" campaign from April to May 2023. The study on anemia found that fifty percent (50%) of the subjects did not have anemia. The percentages of mild (6 subjects), moderate (33 subjects), and severe (9 subjects) anemia were 6.1% to 33.7% and 9.2%, respectively. Regarding lead poisoning, 64 (65.3%) of the subjects did not show significant levels, while 34 (34.7%) of the subjects showed toxic levels. The relationship of lead levels with hemoglobin was not significantly influenced by age group, sex or area of ​​residence. Hemoglobin decreases by 0.755 for every one unit increase in blood lead level, with a p-value <0.001 and a 95% confidence interval of -0.839 - 0.671. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between blood lead levels and low hemoglobin levels (corrected for height), underscoring the importance of interventions focused on prevention and health promotion in at-risk populations.

Presurgical assessment of impacted mandibular third molars: a literature review
Introduction: An impacted tooth is a retained tooth that fails to partially or completely pierce the mucosa, mandibular third molars being more common. This condition is associated with multiple factors such as the interposition of neighboring teeth, bad position of the piece to erupt, very fibrous soft tissues, or when the bone covers the anatomical crown. Objective: to determine the importance of the pre-surgical evaluation of impacted mandibular third molars and the clinical considerations for their extraction. Development: The clinical evaluation of TMI is carried out through the analysis of the possible causes that could predispose to the development of this alteration. Likewise, Pell-Gregory and Winter classify these teeth according to their depth, position and angulation, which allows the extraction to be planned. On the other hand, the importance of orthopantomography as a complementary examination, surgical management, pre-surgical and post-surgical indications, as well as the main complications due to extraction are also highlighted. Conclusions: Before extracting a TMI, it is vital to assess the conditions of the problem piece through its angulation, position, depth and commitment to neighboring structures. That is why the TMI extraction has to be planned and studied to guarantee the patient's recovery in the postoperative period.

Clinical-radiographic considerations of residual cyst and dentigerous cyst: a literature review
Introduction: The cyst is defined as a pathological cavity with liquid, semiliquid, gaseous or solid content, lined internally by epithelium and externally covered by connective tissue. It is usually asymptomatic and most are found by radiography. Cysts in the oral and maxillofacial region can be classified as odontogenic and non-odontogenic; within them is the QR and QD. Its great growth potential leads to asymmetries, paresthesia, dental displacement and even neoplastic transformation. Objective: To determine the importance of the clinical-radiographic considerations of the residual cyst and dentigerous cyst. Development: QD and QR belong to the odontogenic type group. Likewise, the review highlights its own characteristics, clinical assessment, radiographic assessment and data that allow the differential diagnosis for each cyst. Conclusions: Both QR and QD are common conditions in the world population. Its diagnosis is often given by chance, in early stages. They have similar characteristics, but also different ones that allow them to be differentiated. The success in the diagnosis is based on the correct interpretation of the radiographic data.
Chronology of eruption of permanent dentition, Literature Review
The chronology of the eruption of permanent teeth is a process that has variations and is manifested by various factors. Braska cited in Morón et al. It tells us that the chronology of the eruption of the permanent dentition is a process in which it is very difficult to establish a pattern or establish an adequate order since it depends on climate, age, weight, socioeconomic factor, among others1. It is highly controversial to establish an exact chronology for the eruption of permanent teeth, since these depend on multiple factors such as age, sex, race, diet, geographic location, existing diseases, among others. In order to try to establish precise data on the chronology of the eruption of the permanent dentition, systems are used to determine the chronology, such as skeletal, dental, and dental ages1.

Chronology of tooth eruption in canines and inferiors
Objectives: To establish the chronological sequence of the dental eruption in canines, carrying out various investigations in different studies that indicate, according to their analyzes, that there is a direct relationship with the factors that cause their eruption to be altered. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out from October to December 2020, using the following search strategy in the database: Scielo, Repository, Medical journals, within which 22 articles related to the subject were considered, taking into account that 90% of the publications and bibliographic reviews were from 2010-2020. Results: In different studies a close relationship was found in the different factors that tend to cause the advance or delay in its appearance. That is why it is necessary to consider investigating the biological factors that can affect the development of the tooth bud. Conclusion: All the information that has been obtained in this investigation, we conclude that the order of eruption of the mentioned teeth, whether they are upper and lower canines, is affected and is influenced by components such as malnutrition, geographical environment, climate, race, factor environmental, sex and age.
