This research dialogues with recent studies on the figure of the perpetrator to analyze how the agents of Chilean repression are represented in the audiovisual media. From methodologies from studies on the relationship between audiovisual and history, this article analyzes the narrative mechanisms used by the French public television documentary series Chili-impressions (1978), directed by the Spanish exile José María Berzosa, to construct an opposition to the Chilean military junta in the seventies. The audiovisual product studied is emblematic of having achieved great visibility at the time after its screening was initially suspended by the French justice system and for collaborating with the dissemination of a negative memory of the dictatorship abroad.

The main objective of this article is to describe and analyze the historical evolution of the production of works of fiction on Chilean television throughout its history and its relationship with social, political, communicational, and technological contexts. To do this, an attempt is made to unveil a complex process of ruptures and continuities, ranging from black and white and live and direct to current media platforms as well as from mass TV produced in the country that is aimed at national audiences to audiovisual production that has an audience inserted in world markets as a specific segment of that offer.

The objective of this work was to assess the quality of the consumption of foods rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, E and selenium, in a sample of 28 patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) who attended outpatient consultation at the Institute of Vision, of the La Carlota Hospital, in February 2021. The research was observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, with an analytical component. Patients older than 20 years with DR were included, who agreed to participate in the food survey applied by hospital professionals. Sociodemographic and ophthalmological variables and food consumption were measured. Results: 60% of the cases were men, the mean age was 56 ± 13 years. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was the most frequent diagnosis. Regarding food consumption, the most frequently mentioned were eggs, onion, garlic, parsley, orange, banana, lemon, corn tortillas, chili peppers, avocado. It was almost zero intake of whole fiber, nuts and vegetable oils. The median consumption of vitamin C was 87.5 mg, vitamin E 13.9 mg, and selenium 36.7 mcg. Deficient consumption of these micronutrients was found in 63% of cases, especially in men. In this research, no statistically significant association was found between poor consumption of foods rich in antioxidants and PDR (X2 p= 0.2). Conclusion: There is a marked deficit in the consumption of foods with a high contribution of antioxidants in patients with RD, but this situation does not affect the severity of the disease.

Aloe Vera has different therapeutic effects, including wound healing. The aim of this review is to determine the potential efficacy of topical use of Aloe Vera in skin wound healing.

It was obtained that the topical administration of Aloe vera was effective in the healing of the mentioned wounds by mainly increasing epithelialization and collagen content. In conclusion, the properties and pharmacological presentation, chemical components and the effectiveness of Aloe vera to reduce the time of wound healing, make this plant a great therapeutic alternative.

Introduction: Cannabis therapeutic use is increasingly prominent.Objective: To identify the academi interested related to the therapeutic use of cannabis in nursing students. Methods: It is an investigation from Gadamer's hermeneutical paradigm. The non-probabilistic sample of cases by criteria was made up of 20 key informants from the 3rd and 4th years of the Nursing Career; inclusion criteria: be a student enrolled in the school year and be up to date on the degree. Data collection was through the formation of two focus groups in 2018. Data reduction was manual, data transcription was performed using the Jefferson formula, rigorous and ethical criteria were met. Results: 3 categories emerged: Academic node, Disciplinary roles and Ethical-legal considerations. Students acknowledge linking the therapeutic use of cannabis to their curriculum, displaying relationships between it and its environment in the disciplinary functions related to the care role in care management, they view the educational role towards the community and consider a lack of research in the area, bioethics and legal aspects are mentioned for the third category. Conclusions: There is academic interest in incorporating the therapeutic use of cannabis into university education, the care action is strongly recognized, the educational role is identified and is related to strategies and interventions towards the population; lack of thematic research development, administrative management is not mentioned. It is mentioned to involve bioethics and legal aspects in training specifically in the therapeutic use of cannabis.  

Introduction: Hospitals of greater complexity tend to care for patients with advanced chronic diseases, which is why it is important to recognize the need for palliative care. Objective: To identify the proportion of patients who require palliative care in the medicine department of a Peruvian referral hospital. Methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study. All hospitalized patients were studied in the Department of Internal Medicine of the Peruvian hospital during the period April-May 2018. To determine the need for palliative care, the NECPAL CCOMS-ICO © instrument was used. The quantitative variables are presented as median and interquartile range (IQR); and numerical variables, such as frequencies and percentages. For the comparison of numerical variables, the Mann Whitney test was used and the chi-square test for categorical variables.  Results: They were evaluated in 281, where 102 (37.9%) required palliative care. The median age in patients requiring palliative care was 69.5 (IQR: 58-81) years. The median hospital stay in patients with and without the need for palliative care was 7 days (IQR: 4-11) and 9 days (IQR: 5-19) respectively, the mortality in patients with and without the need for palliative care was 37.25% and 4.19% respectively. Conclusions: There is a high frequency of need for palliative care in patients hospitalized in internal medicine wards, the requirement for palliative care was associated with higher mortality and hospital stay, which evidences the need for comprehensive and personalized care based on medical services specialized.

Secondary source study based on the ENDES 2019-2020. The unit of analysis was all women aged 12 to 49 years residing in Peru in the years 2019-2020, who presented postpartum complications, and who answered the questions of the study variables. Results. It is evidenced that the age of 20 to 35 years has a prevalence ratio of 1.12 of ending in complications after delivery (RPa: 1,12, 95% CI: 1,07 to 1,18). Having complications during delivery has 2.75 times the prevalence of complications after delivery (RPa: 2,75, 95% CI: 2,64 to 2866). Having primary education (RPa: 0,90, 95% CI: 0,84 to 0,96), secondary (RPa: 0,94, 95% CI: 0,89 to 0,98) and single marital status (RPa 0,85, 95% CI: 0,76 to 0,94) decrease the probability of having complications after of childbirth.

ABSTRACT: Filling materials are used to correct soft tissue deficits. Local and systemic complications are described when these substances are applied. The polyalkylamide gel (Bio-alcamid) used as filler material has been associated with complications at the facial level, while at the pulmonary level they have not been reported in the literature. We present the case of a patient who consulted due to sudden progressive dyspnea hours after the subcutaneous injection of Bio-alcamid in the breasts. After the clinical evaluation and the result of auxiliary tests, the diagnosis of acute pneumonitis secondary to the injection of this substance is concluded. Follow-up of the case was carried out with favorable evolution and resolution of symptoms after three months. We conclude that Bio-alcamid can generate complications at the pulmonary level, therefore, the intervention of public policies that regulate its use, commercialization and application by non-medical personnel is necessary.
