ABSTRACT
Introduction: promoting scientifi c research is one of the main functions of universities. Medical schools should not be an exception; deans should also have appropriate research experience that allows them to have a different perspective on the importance of research in undergraduate medicine. Aim: to determine the medical school dean's scientific production of the main universities by continent. Methods: an observational, analytical, and transversal study. We identify the medical school dean's scientific production of the 20 universities with the best position from South America, Central America, North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, according to the Ranking Webometrics 2022, in the Scopus database. Results: 140 directors or deans of medicine were evaluated, of which 136 (97.1%) had published an article at least once in their life, 128 (91.4%) in the last fi ve years, 103 (73.6%) in the previous year, and 93 (66.4%) in the current year. The total number of published articles was 24.5 (Me=98), receiving a total of 1,251,766 citations (range 0 to 101,868), an Hindex 24 (range 0 to 140), and in collaboration with 154,711 coauthors. Conclusions: the medical school dean's scientific production from the main universities by continent was high, with notable differences between those who came from universities in Asia, North America, and Europe compared to Oceania, Africa, South America, and Central America
Introdução: promover a pesquisa científica é uma das principais funções das universidades. As escolas médicas não devem ser uma exceção. Os reitores também devem ter uma experiência de pesquisa adequada que lhes permita ter uma perspectiva diferente sobre a importância da pesquisa na graduação em medicina. Objetivo: determinar a produção científica dos reitores de medicina das principais universidades por continente. Métodos: estudo observacional, analítico e transversal. Identificamos a produção científica dos pró-reitores de medicina das 20 universidades com melhor posição da América do Sul, América Central, América do Norte, Europa, Ásia, África e Oceania, segundo o Ranking Webometrics 2022, na base Scopus. Resultados: foram avaliados 140 diretores ou reitores de medicina, dos quais 136 (97.1%) publicaram artigo pelo menos uma vez na vida, 128 (91.4%) nos últimos cinco anos, 103 (73.5%) no ano anterior, e 93 (66.4%) no ano corrente. O número total de artigos publicados foi de 24.5 (Me=98), recebendo um total de 1,251,766 citações (intervalo de 0 a 101.868), índice H = 24 (intervalo de 0 a 140) e em colaboração com 154,711 coautores. Conclusões: a produção científica dos reitores de medicina das principais universidades por continente foi alta, com diferenças notáveis entre aqueles que vieram de universidades da Ásia, América do Norte e Europa em comparação com Oceania, África, América do Sul e América Central

Introducción: El Perú posee un gran número revistas de áreas biomédicas, pero solo algunas han logrado visibilizar e indizar sus publicaciones en diferentes medios de indización de alcance global. Objetivo: Analizar las características de publicación de la Revista del Cuerpo Médico Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo (Chiclayo) a partir de indicadores bibliométricos. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo que analiza 587 registros bibliográficos de los artículos publicados en la revista durante 2011-2020, a partir de indicadores de impacto científico y análisis de términos. Resultados: La mayor producción de artículos corresponde a originales (60%; X̅=66). Los artículos publicados sobre medicina general obtuvieron más impacto en años anteriores.

ABSTRACT
Objetivo:Ofrecer un alcance de la relevancia del diagnóstico oportuno del cáncer testicular, a partir de un caso infrecuente de rabdomiosarcoma paratesticular en un adulto. Se trata de un paciente varón Reporte de Caso:de 39 años, que ingresa al servicio de cirugía - urología por un aumento de volumen de contenido escrotal, de forma progresiva desde hace 2 años, con crecimiento paulatino de la masa. En la ecografía testicular se evidencia un notorio aumento de volumen de bolsas escrotales por aparente tumoración o masa de consistencia dura, de estructura heterogénea y aspecto sólido de bordes mal definidos. Considerando los hallazgos clínicos, marcadores testiculareseimagenológicossediagnosticóuntumorparatesticular derecho. Se realizó una orquiectomía derecha más exéresis de tumor paratesticular derecho. Patología concluyó en rabdomiosarcoma embrionario paratesticular con cápsula rota. Paciente fue dado de alta con seguimiento por consulta externa y referido a hospital oncológico de cuarto nivel.
Objetive:Offer a scope of the relevance of the timely diagnosis of testicular cancer, based on a infrequent case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in an adult.The patient is a 39-year-old male who was admitted to Case report:the urology-surgery department because of an increase in scrotal volume, which has been progressive over the past two years, with gradual growth of the mass. Testicular ultrasound shows a notorious increase in volume of scrotal bags due to an apparent tumour or mass of hard consistency, of heterogeneous structure and solid aspect with ill-defined edges. Considering the clinical findings, testicular markers and imaging, a right paratesticular tumor was diagnosed. Aright orchiectomy plus right paratesticular tumor exeresis was performed. Pathology concluded in paratesticular embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma with a broken capsule. Patient was discharged with outpatient follow-up and referred to the fourth level cancer hospital
