Item Implementación de un sistema de control de calidad microbiológica del agua de consumo humano(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de Posgrado, 2022-09-01) Urrutia Sánchez, Lizbeth Carolina; Ortiz Jiménez, José Marcelo Bqf. Mg.The importance of quality in water resources for human supply makes it necessary to review systems for surveillance and control of water quality from the catchment sources and their associated problems to distribution to the consumer. Objective: a microbiological quality control system for water for human consumption was implemented in the Canton Cevallos. Methodology the type of research is quasi- experimental because it tries to investigate if there is a relationship between the variables, in this case the relationship between the quality of water for human consumption and the implementation of a quality control system was investigated. Results From a total of 30 samples collected at the catchment, distribution and consumption sites for the microbiological analysis of the study, it was determined that there is no microbiological contamination by total coliforms by the membrane filtration method Standard methods - 9222 D, unlike the results of the 3M Petrifilm method that did have a minimum growth of 1 to 2 CFU in a 6.7% of the total samples. Conclusions: A better option for microbiological analysis of the vital liquid that supplies the population of Canton Cevallos was proposed, being the Standard methods - 9222 D method with the membrane filtration technique, in which it gave us satisfactory results, since the other method used and with the one that currently has in the Laboratory the Petrifilm plate method does not indicate favorable results, presenting a level of minimum significance, being an alternative method it has a superior performance only when the level of samples is low in this study it shows us a low reliability of the results, which has led to the implementation of a better microbiological quality control system for the water consumed by the population of Canton Cevallos.Item “Determinación de los niveles séricos de la alfa-fetoproteína en pacientes alcohólicos y su relación con la cirrosis hepática.”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Laboratorio, 2017-10-01) Urrutia Sánchez, Lizbeth Carolina; Tinajero Vásconez, María Fernanda Bqf.The present research project had to perform a biochemical analysis to determine the serum concentration of the alpha-fetoprotein tumor marker to alcoholic patients who are hospitalized in the Centro de Recuperación Génesis de la Ciudad de Ambato and relate it to liver cirrhosis for its execution a series of activities were carried out, including a talk to patients explaining their participation in the study, and the use of surveys to determine the risk factors related to alcoholism. Through the application of the survey it was identified that 75% of all patients have a predetermining factor of alcoholism in family history In this study, a quantitative approach was used because the serum values of the alpha-fetoprotein tumor marker were determined in the alcoholic patients if the values were within the reference values or not, and in turn marked a qualitative approach since it indicated if there is relation to liver cirrhosis or not. I worked with 40 male patients older than 18 who met the inclusion criteria. Finally, in the investigation, patients were found to have elevated levels of the tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein, the higher the time of alcohol consumption, with levels greater than 8.5 ng/dL in 10% of the population, indicating that they consumed alcohol in a time greater than 16 years.
