Small- and medium-sized companies within the textile sector face serious problems in their production flows, mostly because of the absence of standardized production systems and adequate resource planning. Therefore, a diagnostic analysis is conducted on an SME textile company to evaluate and define the deficiencies and factors affecting their productivity. Thus, in this study, we develop a model that contributes to waste elimination in the production flow, improves resource planning, and provides ...

Abstract Background Compare the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between field and non-field working in the sugar industry, exploring occupational factors associated with eGFR levels. Methods Cross-sectional study performed with workers of a sugar company in San Jacinto, Peru. We compared both groups regarding their eGFR<90 (ml/min/1.73m2) estimated from serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI prediction equation. We analyzed heat stress, vigorous activities and dehydration as risk factors ...

Abstract Background Violence against women (VAW) severely impacts their physical and mental health. In some cultures, women can normalize certain types of violence if they were linked to home models in childhood and, eventually, do not seek for help in adulthood. We aimed to determine, in Peruvian women, (1) the association between witnessing violence in their family of origin and VAW experienced in adulthood, (2) the extent to which women who have experienced VAW seek some help, and (3) identify VAW ...

There is limited access to molecular genetic testing in most low- and middle-income countries. The iHope program provides clinical genome sequencing (cGS) to underserved individuals with signs or symptoms of rare genetic diseases and limited or no access to molecular genetic testing. Here we describe the performance and impact of cGS in 247 patients from three clinics in Peru. Although most patients had at least one genetic test prior to cGS (70.9%), the most frequent was karyotyping (53.4%). The diagnostic ...
