Objective. To determine the level of colonization of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity in newborns than 24 hours old and its relationship to the path of birth. Material and methods. Comparative, exploratory and transversal study; according probability sampling included a total of 154 infants 24 hours old, forming two groups, with 77 infants each, according to mode of delivery (vaginal or cesarean); in the maternity service at Víctor Lazarte Echegaray hospital fromTrujillo-Peru. Newborns were taken a salivary sample, it was transported to the microbiology laboratory, processing it into a specific culture medium for subsequent microbiological count of Streptococcus mutans. Results. High levels of colonization of Streptococcus mutans, for 10.4% and 2.6% of those born vaginally and caesarean section were determined respectively (p <0.05). Conclusions. It is concluded that within 24 hours of birth, the prevailing level of colonization of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity is low in both groups, and that the high level is associated with the route of vaginal birth.

Talk of bioethics in modern times forces us to refer to some issues daily generate controversies in the field of medicine and health. Without a doubt, one of these topics is the unnecessary, and sometimes, excessive use of cesarean section. This surgery should be reserved only for cases where vaginal childbirth is risky, and it is now seen as an alternative that takes no longer exclusively medical and reasoned, but even is an option that the patient chooses. This article aims to make an ethical approach to the practice of cesarean section, considering that while it is the duty of the doctors to respect the autonomy of their patients, it is also their duty to guide them through the benefits and risks of any their decisions. The principles of bioethics of the professional health let us make an assessment of medical practice, paying special attention to the decision to choose rationally, a cesarean section instead a vaginal delivery.

Objective: To determine cesarean section incidences and indications in a public hospital in Piura, Peru. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, crosssectional study in the Obstetrics and Gynecology service from the "Hospital Santa Rosa de Piura". The population was constituted by 3311 pregnant patients. Pertinent information was recollected by their medical history. Results: The incidence of cesarean section was 57.8%, which was the most predominant with 68.9%, and the median age was 22 years (most prevalent range: 20 to 24 years old). The most prevalent indications of cesarean section were: SFA with 14.5%, short prodromal intergenesic period + labor + 1 time with a 12.9% cesarean. Conclusions: A high incidence of caesarean section was observed compared with other national locations and by the standard shared for the World Health Organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, characterized by the presence of glandular and stromal endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a chronic disease, estrogen-dependent, affecting between 8 to 15% of women of reproductive age and presents clinically with chronic abdominal pain and infertility. The endometriomas correspond to a circumscribed process well-defined of endometrial tissue may occur in abdominal wall usually secondary to ginecobstetric surgical scars, with an incidence of 0.03 to 1.7% after a cesarean. Case report: Woman-27 years, multiparous of 1 with caesarean, sexually active, arrived for hospitalized for suspected abdominal wall endometrioma about 7 years of evolution characterized by cyclic abdominal pain associated with menstruation. On examination shows mass in left iliac fossa of about 8×6 cm, it is uplifted 3 cm of abdominal plane in vertex cesarean scar and brown-violet colored skin that covers and surrounds the mass. Resection is performed with wide edges. Biopsy was consistent with endometriosis. Postoperatively the patient progressed favorably. Discussion: We must always think of abdominal wall endometrioma in a patient with increased volume and/or discoloration of the skin associated with ginecoobstetric scars and chronic cyclical abdominal pain. The treatment of choice is resection with wide margins to prevent recurrence. Given the complications of this disease, he stressed the importance of making a timely screening and early surgical treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
