Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

La evaluación Doppler del flujo en el ductus venoso en el primer trimestre ha venido a contribuir con información clínica relevante en las orientaciones a los padres. No sólo se mostró eficaz en el rastreo de anomalías cromosómicas, como la trisomía 21, disminuyendo la tasa de procedimientos invasivos, sino también en el rastreo de cardiopatías congénitas, redefiniendo el grupo de alto riesgo a ser sometido a ecocardiografía precoz. Por su parte, un flujo anormal en el ductus venoso asociado a la translucencia nucal aumentada en uno o en ambos fetos de un embarazo monocoriónico parece una combinación sensible para rastrear precozmente el síndrome de transfusión feto fetal. En todas estas situaciones, el ductus venoso se muestra un marcador eficaz de insuficiencia/disfunción cardíaca.
