Item PERFIL HEMATOLOGICO EN NIÑOS Y ADOLESCENTES CON MALNUTRICION(2025-06-19) Caisa Chalan Jessenia Lizbeth; Chasillacta Amores Fabiola Beatriz; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de EnfermeríaIntroduction: The hematological profile is a key diagnostic tool to assess the effects of malnutrition, revealing common abnormalities such as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and hypoalbuminemia. These abnormalities indicate nutritional deficiencies and related health problems such as iron deficiency anemia due to lack of iron, immune system weakness, and electrolyte imbalances. Adequate treatment based on correcting these deficiencies and continuous monitoring is essential to improve this vulnerable population's health status and prognosis. Objective: To determine the hematological profile in children between 5 and 9 years of age and adolescents from 10 to 19 years of age with malnutrition. Methods: Quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional and descriptive in scope, with a population of 42 participants between children and adolescents from an Ecuadorian foundation dedicated to the care. The information was collected by taking anthropometric measurements and blood samples for the hematological profile study. Results: Hematological alterations are not limited to malnutrition states. They also occur in apparently healthy individuals. The high prevalence of alterations in the white blood cell series, particularly in lymphocytes and neutrophils, could indicate the presence of inflammatory processes or altered immunological responses in these age groups. These findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive hematological evaluation in children and adolescents, regardless of their nutritional status. Conclusions: The hematological profile in children and adolescents in this study is not related to malnutrition since there are hematological alterations in the population studied who are apparently healthy.Item INTERVENCIÓN NUTRICIONAL EN DEPORTISTAS DE ALTO RENDIMIENTO CON ANEMIA(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-09-25) Tuaza Manobanda, María José; Guevara Villacís, Mishelts VanessaSports nutrition, a constantly evolving science, focuses on providing athletes with the nutrients necessary for training, competition, recovery and rest. This includes adequate energy, macronutrients for muscle repair, and micronutrients for physical performance. "Sports anemia" is a concern, characterized by low hemoglobin levels that can affect performance. Iron deficiency anemia, caused by iron deficiency, is common in athletes and can affect the body's ability to transport oxygen. Intense exercise can induce changes in the hematological system, contributing to this apparent anemia. Iron intake and bioavailability are essential, highlighting the importance of combining iron-rich foods with absorption enhancers and avoiding inhibitors such as tea and calcium. In athletic women, high levels of hepcidin can inhibit iron absorption, especially during intermittent fasting, increasing the risk of anemia and menstrual problems. Athletes, especially women, have higher iron requirements due to losses during menstruation and increased metabolism. Therefore, special attention to iron intake is crucial to maintain optimal performance in sport.Item Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Santa Rosa del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) Montenegro Valverde, Julio César; Vilcacundo Cordova, Mario Fernando Lcdo. Mg.The aim of this research was to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anaemia and malnutrition in children between 5 and 9 years of age in the Santa Rosa parish of the Ambato canton, The parasites that cause these infections are helminths and protozoa, most frequently transmitted via the oral-fecal route when contaminated water or food is ingested. For this research, 100 samples of blood and faeces belongingto children aged 5 to 9 years were analysed, the blood sample was used to determine haemoglobin and the faeces sample to determine the presence of parasites using the Faust Flotation or Zinc Sulphate technique. Information was collected through the use of surveys together with the anthropometric data of each child. Of the total population, 47% of the children were found to be parasitized, of which 57% were found to be monoparasitized, while 43% were found to be polyparasitized; 19% had commensal parasites, and 81% had pathogenic parasites; protozoa accounted for 100% and helminths were absent. The parasites found in the research are: Blastocystis sp. 63%, Entamoeba coli cyst 19%, Endolimax nana cyst 11%, Giardia lamblia cyst 4%, Entamoeba complex cyst 4%. The prevalence of parasites found in the study coincides with other studies carried out in Ecuador.Item Parasitosis intestinal y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Picaihua del Cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) Sailema Peña, Guadalupe Margoth; Valenzuela Sánchez, Gabriela Paola Mg.Intestinal parasitism are infections of the most prevalent in the poor and underdeveloped communities which are with a high predominant in children. This affects the development and growth in child population. So this produces clinical manifestations such as appetite loss, stomachache, dyspepsia, diarrhea, andmalabsorption. These cause malnutrition and anemia in patients. The objective of thissearching was determined the intestinal parasitism and its relation with malnutrition and anemia in children with ages from 5 to 9 years old in Picaihua parish and Ambato city. It was analyzed in 106 blood tests in order to measure the hemoglobin indices. The fecal test for testing the presence of parasites. For doing these tests it uses the flotation technique or Faust. It collects the information with a poll. The anthropometric data such as weight and height for the IMC calculation. A total of 106 samples analysed, the 75.7% shown parasites, besides, the population showed 60% of them as monoparasites and the 40% remain were polyparasites. The parasitesfound were Blastocysts spp. 43.1%, Entamoeba coli cyst 23.3%, Entamoeba complex cyst 15.5%, Endolimax nana cyst 12.9%, Chilomastix mesnili cyst 3.4%, Giardia lamblia cyst 0.9%, Hymenolepis nana eggs 0.9%. The present investigation project through the statistical analysis concluded that the intestinal parasitosis hadn't relation with anemia and malnutrition.Item Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Pilahín del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) Armendariz Freire, Santiago Javier; Pacha Jara, Ana Gabriela Bqf. Mg.Worldwide, intestinal parasitosis is a public health problem that mainly affects school children. Several studies have been carried out on this pathology with the aim of relating it to the development of other diseases such as malnutrition and anemia. The present study aims to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children aged 5 to 9 years in the Pilahuín parish of the Ambato canton. The sample consisted of 100 children who decided to participate in the study and provided the respective bloo d samples for the measurement of hemoglobin concentration and feces for the identification of intestinal parasites by direct observation in fresh and Faust flotation technique with the use of Zinc Sulfate, additionally anthropometric measurements were taken and information was collected through the application of surveys to assess the social conditions in which children live. It was evidenced that 80% of the population presented parasitosis, of which 61.25% presented polyparasitosis, 72.50% were pathogenic parasites and a predominance of protozoa was observed in 96.5% with Blastocystis sp, Entamoeba coli cyst and Endolimax nana cyst as the parasites with the highest predom inance in this populationItem Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Huachi Grande del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-08) Lucio López, Luis Antonio; Pacha Jara, Ana GabrielaIntestinal parasites are part of the most important globally distributed diseases and most of these are linked to people's living conditions, especially in third world countries, the intake of contaminated water and food are a source of infection and of the development of this disease. The objective of this project was determine parasitism and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years from Huachi Grande parish in Ambato city, 100 blood samples were collected and analyzed to quantify the amount of hemoglobin and stool samples to identify parasites by microscopic observation and flotation in zinc sulfate, the data and authorizations obtained from each participant were collected through surveys, informed consents and assents, in addition to taking the weight and height of each child. It was found that 47% of the children participating in the study harbored at least 1 parasite in their organism, of which 48% presented monoparasitosis and the remaining 52% presented polyparasitosis, the dominant type of parasite in the population was protozoa, representing 100% of the parasites, the most found parasite was Blastocystis sp. with 40% and to a lesser extent the Iodamoeba butschlii cyst with 1%., there is no relationship between parasites, anemia and malnutrition.Item Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la parroquia Augusto N. Martínez del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-08) Pullutasig Moposita, Evelyn Gissel; Vilcacundo Córdova, Mario FernandoInfantile intestinal parasitosis negatively affects the proper development of children, especially in growth, nutrition and is reflected in the physical and intellectual capacity of infants. The objective of the project is to establish the relationship between the presence of intestinal parasites and the development of anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age from the Augusto N. Martínez parish in Ambato city. In the selected sample size made up of a cohort of 100 children, 51% male and 49% female, the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis of 71% was evidenced, with 72% of children with pathogenic parasitic species and 28% with commensal parasites, 57% corresponded to protozoa and only 3% to helminths. The most frequent parasitic species was Blastocystis sp with 28%, followed by Endolimax nana 18%, Entamoeba coli 18%, Giardia lamblia 9% and Entamoeba complex 4%, Chilomastix mesnili 2%, Iodamoeba bütschlii 2% were also found, finally, two cases of Hymenolepis nana and one case of Trichuris trichiura. The analysis of fecal samples was carried out by coprological examination and the Faust technique, a blood sample was taken for the assessment of hemoglobin as an indicator of anemia. Through the chi-square it was determined that there is no association between parasitism and the development of anemia and malnutrition in the selected population.Item Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la Parroquia San Bartolomé de Pinllo del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-08) Bustos Ramos, Kevin Ariel; Vilcacundo Córdova, Mario FernandoIntestinal diseases caused by parasites represent a problem worldwide, with children of school and preschool age being the population most susceptible to parasitic infections is usually due to poor hygiene habits at home, intake of poorly prepared food and water contaminated with fecal remains. The parasitic infections present in infants who are in full development will seriously compromise their state of health, their nutritional status, growth and cognitive development. The purpose of this project seeks to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age in the parish of San Bartolomé de Pinllo in the canton of Ambato, for this purpose a total of 100 blood samples were analyzed in order to analyze the concentration of hemoglobin levels, As well as the study of feces samples for the identification and characterization of parasites through direct observation in fresh microscope and through the technique of flotation in zinc sulfate, the data and authorizations were obtained through the application of surveys, assents and informed consents, information was also collected from the anthropometric data of each individual. The parasitic prevalence was determined in 65% of the total population, thus evidencing that the children had at least one parasitic agent in their organism. Blastocystis sp was in parasite prevalent in the samples analyzed with 47%, while in a very small amount Hymenolepis nana was found with 1%, it is important to emphasize that the parasites evidenced mostly belong to the group of protozoa with 98%.Item Parasitosis y su relación con anemia y desnutrición en niños de 5 a 9 años de la Parroquia Atahualpa del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-08) Agualongo Paucar, Ana Viviana; Vilcacundo Córdova, Mario FernandoIntestinal parasitosis is a public health problem worldwide, which currently continues to affect a considerable number of children in developed countries. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship of intestinal parasitosis between anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age at Atahualpa parish, Ambato City. In this study, 100 samples were analyzed, both blood to determine hemoglobin levels, and fecal samples to identify the presence of intestinal parasites through the appropriate technique. Besides, anthropometric data was collected from each child in order to be categorized based on the Body Mass Index. As a result, 36% of the population had only one type of parasite while 35% presented more than two parasites. Additionally, the study shows that 97.71% of parasites are protozoa and 2.29% are helminths. The most frequent parasites were: Blastocystis sp 40% followed by Entamoeba coli 26%, Endolimax nana 15%. Regarding the results of the BMI, it was determined that 79% of children had a healthy weight and 1% were underweight; Regarding the blood results, 55% of the sample presented normal hemoglobin and 33% presented low hemoglobin levels. It can be concluded that there was a high prevalence of parasitism at Atahualpa parish, Ambato City. However, it is not related to anemia and malnutritionItem Cambios en los parámetros eritrocitarios durante la edad adulta tardía(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2022-09-01) Vizcaíno Borja, Poulette Virginia; Ramos Ramírez, Martha Cecilia, MSc. Bqf.Over time, older adults will be the most representative population that provides information on existing pathologies based on quality of life factors–sex, age, geographical location, type of diet, and body limitations, which are triggers for changes within the red series such as: hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin value, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular volume, with evidence in this type of population according to the study of the blood count as a routine examination that will allow the doctor to assess the diagnosis of a future anemia. It was conducted a systematic review in databases such as SciELO, PubMed, Redalyc, Elsevier, Dialnet, academic Google, among others as well as reports from the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, and the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador with the key words "erythrocyte changes", "older adult", "anemia in the elderly" worldwide, Latin America, and Ecuador in order to gather a single context of the research works on the subject; describing the causes that these erythrocyte changes manifest in older adults. It concludes that the changes in the values obtained in both hemoglobin and hematocrit will be the most representative to consider anemia, with a predominance of normochromic normocytic anemia, associating chronic disorders and sociodemographic factors of the elderly. Therefore, the bibliographic review will serve as base for future research that proposes the study of the elderly and the red series.
