    Intervención comunitaria en salud bucal en la población de San Pablo de Pillao, Perú, 2018
    (Editorial Ciencias Medicas, 2020-04-01)
    Introduction: Community interventions make it possible to promote health and prevent disease in the population. Objective: Describe the diagnoses and treatments made by dental students at the Multidisciplinary Research and Service University Camp. Methods: A qualitative epidemiological study was designed for the district of San Pablo de Pillao, Huánuco province, Peru. The participants were teachers and students from the School of Human Medicine, Dentistry, Nutrition and Psychology. Of the total 250 subjects attending the sessions, 95 adults were cared for at the dental service. The educational sessions conducted dealt with the topics of "anemia and malnutrition", "diarrheal diseases", "respiratory infections", "alcoholism and violence", "growth and development", "breastfeeding" and "oral health", as well as a campaign about diagnosis and treatment of oral disorders. Data analysis was performed on Microsoft Excel. Results: Of the total 95 adult residents cared for, 6.3% were totally edentulous and 40% were partially edentulous. Of the dentate subjects, 97.3% had dental caries with a mean DLRP index (sum total of decayed + lost + restored permanent teeth) of 2.08 ± 1.56. As to periodontal status, 38.9% had severe gingival inflammation. A total 35 restorations, 28 exodontias and 8 prosthesis adjustments were performed on adult patients. Adults and children alike received fluoridation and attended five educational health promotion sessions. Conclusions: Dental caries and gingival disease were highly prevalent. The main therapeutic actions performed in the camp were restorations and exodontia.

    Las libertades que olvidamos de las personas adultas mayores
    (Universidad de Lima, 2023-07-07)
    El artículo expone el desarrollo del principio de igualdad desde su dimensión material en base a lo expuesto por Robert Alexy. De este modo, precisa que en situaciones donde no se trata de forma igual a las personas, se generan los conceptos conocidos como “ajustes razonables” y “discriminación por indiferenciación”. Este último (discriminación por indiferenciación) supone una discriminación legal por parte del legislador quien al regular un determinado ámbito no previó las particularidades de algunos sujetos, en materia de este artículo, los adultos mayores. Así, para exponer la problemática, se citan diversos casos emblemáticos y se compara el tratamiento que reciben los derechos de las personas mayores en la “Carta de San José sobre los Derechos de las Personas Mayores de América Latina y el Caribe” (que prohíbe la discriminación legal que limite el acceso a satisfacer diversas necesidades mínimas) y en la “Carta de los derechos fundamentales de la Unión Europea” (que pone énfasis en garantizar la autodeterminación sin interferencia). Finalmente, el artículo da cuenta que el Tribunal Constitucional del Perú ha perdido numerosas oportunidades para evaluar las libertades de las personas adultas mayores pues no ha favorecido la autodeterminación de dicho grupo social.
