Resumen
TALAVERA TONANEZ, Lourdes Isabel. A Glance at Scientific Research in Pediatrics in Paraguay. Pediatr. (Asunción) [online]. 2015, vol.42, n.3, pp.229-234. ISSN 1683-9803. https://doi.org/10.18004/ped.2015.diciembre.229-234.
This article provides an overview of pediatric scientific research in Paraguay. First, we describe the current state of research in today's society and in Latin America, as well as describing contemporary medical practice and the use of science as applied to Pediatrics. Pediatric research is approached from using overarching themes such as public health, infectious diseases, neurology and neonatology. The settings in which the studies were performed are the universities and hospitals that comprise the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare Health Network. Faculty and residents are the main investigators. We also review aspects related to the means of publication of scientific papers in the specialty. The "Pediatrics" journal, published by the Paraguayan Pediatric Society, plays a fundamental role in communicating research results at a national and regional level.
