Authors: VIZITIU Daniel , OGNEAN Mihai , DANCIU Ioan
Published: December 2021

Rheological testing of wheat flours is very effective to evaluate the breadmaking potential of wheat flours. Rheological test were used to compare the wet and dry milling of wheat on two laboratory mills with the wheat milling on industrial mill. The laboratory mills used were Brabender Quadromat Jr. and Chopin CD1, and for rheological test we used Alveograph, Farinograph and Mixolab. The flours obtained by wet milling were much similar to the flour obtained on industrial mill. For most of the parameters studied, we obtained better correlation with industrial milling for wet milling, on both laboratory mills. Higher correlation values for Pearson coefficient indicates that wet milling is more capable do give a representative sample for laboratory tests.Â

Environmental problems, by the nature, character and its implications, increasingly proves to be a global problem. The environment and its protection claims becoming more consistent management, a variety of intervention tools and ongoing communication with socio-economic actors, in order to minimize the phenomena of pollution and use of resources natural. Aware that the intensity of human activity is increasing the pressure on the environment, either by uncontrolled consumption of resources and space, either by producing waste that nature can not absorb without suffering, prompted the international community to move to initiate and support concrete actions to prevent, counteract and eliminate disturbing factors repercussions of ecological balance. Environmental issues can be made from multiple angles: legal, institutional, economic, technological, etc. This paper aims to address environmental responsibility that should be considered permanent so all economic agents and civil society. This scientific communication includes the results of extensive fundamental research on environmental protection, based on the study of numerous bibliographic sources printed and on-line. Also been studied and reports from international events made â€‹â€‹this topic, and studies published by international institutions. Ensuring a balance between economic growth and environmental protection in order to meet social development and perspectives, is the new concept, under which the governments of many countries rethink their economic strategies, concept called sustainable development and first presented in 1987 in Brundtland Report - "Our Common Future". Economic policy developed in unifying and generalizing vision of eco-development, organic content in all decision documents at all levels, the ecological criteria for "sustainable development". The environment is a public good because it answers three features that distinguish it from any other private public good: even when consumed by one, it remains available for others; one can not exclude someone from consuming a public good, while in the case of a public good, private, producer exclude all those who can not pay his price; the consumer can not exclude himself from using a public good. As economic development occurs within ecological systems over the years began to speak increasingly eco-development as a complex relationship between economic development and the natural environment. Characteristic of management at the beginning of XXI century is placing eco-economic relationship - the goals that I return man interrelated with the natural environment.
Contribution to study of Acacia tortilis subsp raddiana seed germination, and growth seedling under different osmotic and drought constraints
Authors: KEBBAS Salima , LUTTS Stanley , AID Fatiha
Published: December 2021

Acacia raddiana or Acacia tortilis (Forsk) Hyane subsp. raddiana (Savi) Bernan, (Fabaceae) is characterized by a great ecological plasticity. It is largely used by the local populations as medicinal plants, fodder, wood energy, coal because it high calorific value. This plant thus plays a big role in rural economy because it is also appreciated in craft industry and for the clothes, tools and kitchen utensil manufacture. The study of the intensity osmotic stress effect on the germination of Acacia raddiana seeds reveals that there is a very strong negative correlation between the increase of the concentration of PEG and the germination rate (r = -0.9251). The fact remains that in spite of very small negative potential, Acacia raddiana seeds are very resistant since it coming to sprout at potential matching -6.0 MPa. In otherwise, the foliarÂ  RWC of seedling remained stable during the 25 days of treatment at about 81.61 Â± 7.61% (control) and dropped from 17th to 25th day at 32% (stressed). The growth was also affected by stress. Thus, both leaves number and stem height is reduced in stressed plants compared to controls.

The European cherry fruit fly,Â Rhagoletis cerasiÂ (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most destructive pest in cherry and sweet cherry orchards. Because of the low tolerance for damaged fruit on the market and the restrictions from E.U regarding insecticides, new envioramental safe methods begin to be developed. This paperÂ  prezents preliminary research in monitoring and control of Rhagoletis cerasi L.Â  withÂ  5 diffent formulations of specific pheromonÂ  (pheromon prodeced by ICCÂ  Raluca RipanÂ  Cluj-Napoca)Â  4 of them, have not beenÂ  tested yet. Adult flight was monitored twice a week on 22 yellow colored traps,Â  17 withÂ  certified pheromone andÂ  27 with the 4Â  new synthesizedÂ  formulations. Traps were placed in two orchards: one in which chemical treatments have beenÂ  performed and another plantation where no chemical treatments were applied. In the orchard where they applied chemical treatments, the average catch on colored traps was 28.31 adults/trap and in baited pheromone traps the average fluctuated between 11 adults/ trap in V3 and 28,6 adults per trap in V2. In the untreated orchard, the average number of catches on colored panels was 23.33 and in the variants with pheromone baits, this parameter was between 8.5 adults/trap in V5 and 44 adults/trap in V2.Rhagoletis cerasi level of population differ from a plantation to another and that is not strictly related to applied technology culture. Yellow panels shows good functionality in capturing adults. Between theÂ  pheromone baited traps that are in the first stage of testing, higher number ofÂ  captures than yellow panel variants, showed the variant V2.

Published: December 2021

Intensification of natural ecosystems may be beneficial for a series of plants, which are favored to become the dominant at the level of grass cover. However, no matter how low would be the inputs applied, the first effects are observed in the symbiotic organisms of existing plants in the ecosystem. Adaptation of plants and soil microorganisms to environmental conditions have made the type and dosage of fertilizer applied to become factors with limiting effect on the balanced evolution of mycorrhizal fungi. For mycorrhizal colonization of Festuca rubra plant, climatic factors play a small role, from this consideration is necessary to identify the dose and type of fertilizer to ensure the stability in time of colonization parameters. To study the effect of increasing soil nutrient resources on the mycorrhizal colonization parameters in Festuca rubra, we set up an experiment with six degrees of fertilization, in addition to unfertilized control were applied to two types of organic fertilization and three types of mineral fertilization. Balancing the colonization and reducing fluctuations in time of colonization parameters is influenced in a high degree by nitrogen, whether it comes from manure or synthetic fertilizers. At the end of growing season it is observed the superiority of combined fertilizersÂ  ( manure + NPK or Eurofertil mezocalc supplemented with nitrogen) , which ensure the highest values of the colonization degree.

Red deerÂ  ( Cervus elaphus L. )Â  populations, depending on their density can dramatically affect vegetation in their living areas using hay meadows, farmland tree plantation and orchards, leading to a financial deficit for the farmers. We quantified grazing intake in natural vegetation fields that were bordered by forest and had been used as hay meadows. Grazing cages had been placed in three separate locations in Valea Mare hunting range from BistriÅ£a-NÄƒsÄƒud during 30 May - 15 July period. Sampling took place shortly before the hay meadows were mowed with the purpose of quantifying the Red deer intake. Red deer grazing resulted in the loss of a percentage between 11,6% and 12,6% of the total production.

Year by year at NARDI Fundulea, in field conditions, it has tested insecticides used both like seed and vegetation treatment for control ling of the maize leaf weevil. Because climatic conditions from the spring are not favorable for this pest every year, laboratory testing is one of the best methods for evaluate of the insecticides used like seed treatment. At eight days after insects are added in the pots with maize plants, highest adults mortality and lowest attack intensity has registered in case of plants emerged from the seeds treated with products on base of thiametoxanÂ  ( Cruiser 350 FS ) , clothianidinÂ  ( Poncho 600 FS )Â  or thiametoxan+teflutrinÂ  ( Force Zea ) . In case of seeds treated with product on base of imidaclopridÂ  ( Nuprid 600 FS 8,0 l/t ) , even if the insects mortality was lower, the attack intensity has low values. All plants from the untreated variant were destroyed. At treated variants, saved plants percent were at least 90 %. Seed treatments provide a satisfactory protection of the maize plants, in first vegetation stages against maize leaf weevil.

Published: December 2021

In the case of no tillage radical changes are to be noticed in relationship to the conditions of conventional technology. No-till technology doesnâ€™t require any processing of the soil on the whole working width but only on the narrow range; depth is reduced (max.10.cm) and crop residues remain on the surface. In these circumstances the entire aero-hydric soil system is different from conventional technology and soil characteristics (structure, density, permeability) are also different.The no-till machines can be equipped with chisel coulters or disc type furrow. Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages in terms of functionality and technology. This paper proposes a critical comparative analysis between two sections of the no-till machine equipped with specific coulter chisel and clutch disc type to identify the best solution for seedbed preparation and ensure maximum contact of the seeds with the surrounding soil.

Satisfactory soil fertility is a suitable premise for supplying plants satisfactory development. The aim of this paper was the identification of the role of the most important soil indicators involved in durmast seedlings resistance against powdery mildew attack. A durmast nursery located in Transylvanian Plain was monitored in 2008. Basic statistic and correlations were calculated using STATISTICA v. 7.0. In 2008, a non linear dependence between analyzed parameters was reported. Weak negative correlations between the powdery mildew attack degree and humus (- 0.339), nitrogen (0.346) and phosphorus (- 0.313) were reported. They are representative only in a reduced sample share (11.40%, 11.0% and 9.70%, respectively) and not significant, all characterized by non linearity. By entire experimental period, the correlation between the powdery mildew attack degree and potassium content of soil, apart the other studied correlations, is linear, negative, and very weak, not representative (R2 = 0.004).
Cytotoxicity of Nonthermal Plasma Treatments on Three Cancer Cell Lines Induces Changes in Cell Morphology and in HSP70 Gene Expression

Published: December 2021

Nonthermal plasma processes recently emerged as promising therapeutic tools for the treatment of cancer. Most anticancer effects of plasma have been related to the induction of oxidative stress due to the release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), among other plasma components, during discharge. The exact mechanism of action in the eradication of cancer, though, is still far from being fully understood. In this research, three cancer-derived cell lines were exposed to pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) to investigate the effect of direct plasma exposure on cancer cells. Among many cellular functions, cell adhesion and morphology were found to be visibly influenced. Morphological assays showed the inhibition of intercellular adhesion, losses in cell clustering, and changes in the external shape and actin cytoskeleton. These effects were related to the decrease in cell viability and plasma operational conditions. The increased expression of the heat shock protein HSP70 in plasma-exposed Saos2 cells confirmed that changes in morphology and viability in cancer cells are representative of internal changes in the oxidative state of cells that are caused by plasma-induced oxidative stress.
Investing in water supply resilience considering uncertainty and management flexibility
Authors: Adey Bryan T , Martani Claudio , Hackl Jürgen
Published: December 2021

This paper demonstrates how to make investment decisions that optimally improve water supply resilience, taking into consideration both future uncertainty and management flexibility. The demonstration is done by evaluating investment strategies for a 38 Ml/d water treatment plant serving an urban area with approximately 75 000 inhabitants, where there is uncertainty with respect to future population growth, industrial production, external demand and the amount of rainfall due to climate change. It is shown that the quantification and comparison of the possible reductions in service and intervention costs over comparably long periods enables the optimal investment decisions – that is, the ones with the optimal trade-offs between stakeholders. Additionally, it can be seen that the used methodology enables the consistent and transparent consideration of (a) the concerns of multiple stakeholders, (b) the future deep uncertainty associated with key concerns and (c) the flexibility of infrastructure managers to make decisions in the future using new information. The methodology also ensures that managers have clear plans of action and considerable insight into the extent of required future financing.
Room tilt illusion in epilepsy
Authors: Fattal Deema , Wattiez Anne‐Sophie , St Louis Erik , Gonzalez‐Otarula Karina , Sainju Rup
Published: December 2021

Room tilt illusion is a rare phenomenon in which a person transiently perceives the surrounding environment as tilted to one side. Epilepsy is one of the presumed causes of room tilt illusion, but this has never been proven. We present a case of room tilt illusion that is epileptic in nature, documented by video‐ EEG monitoring. Our Patient is a 30‐year‐old woman with 11 years history of bi‐monthly spells of sudden tilt of the whole environment counterclockwise for a duration of one to two seconds. These spells were initially diagnosed as psychogenic. She was then admitted to our video‐EEG monitoring unit. She had three of her typical spells during monitoring, with corresponding changes of brief generalized spike‐wave burst on EEG that coincided temporarily with her symptoms. The video otherwise did not reveal any sway or tilt of the patient herself. She was started on topiramate with resolution of her symptoms. She remained spell‐free when seen during follow‐up, six months later. This case illustrates a first example of room tilt illusion that is documented to be epileptic in nature. This case adds to the varied nature of how epilepsy can manifest in patients, which may support improved diagnosis and treatment of epileptic patients.

Published: December 2021

Objective. Treatment of super‐refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is associated with various complications of anaesthetic coma therapy. This study aimed to describe the factors affecting the prognosis, especially in‐hospital mortality, of patients receiving pentobarbital coma therapy for the treatment of SRSE.

Methods. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single tertiary referral centre with patients who received pentobarbital coma therapy for the treatment of SRSE from 2006 to 2018. Exploratory analyses were performed for clinical, laboratory, electrographic, and radiological factors for the entire cohort and were compared between the mortality and survivor groups.

Results. In total, 19 patients were enrolled, and five (26.3%) patients died in the hospital. The maximal pentobarbital infusion dose was higher in the mortality group than in the survivor group (4.4±1.0 mg/kg/h vs. 2.9±1.4 mg/kg/h, respectively; p=0.025). The high‐dose pentobarbital infusion group (>3.75 mg/kg/h) underwent longer mechanical ventilation (24 [20–36.75] vs. 41 [28–70], p=0.025) and blood culture results were more frequently positive, suggestive of septicaemia (8.3% vs. 57.1%, p=0.038).

Significance. The group of SRSE patients treated with pentobarbital coma therapy who died in the hospital received a higher pentobarbital infusion dose compared to survivors; a complication of high‐dose pentobarbital infusion was septicaemia. Considering the high rate of septicaemia observed, systematic treatment strategies focusing on infectious complications should be established and implemented. The association between maximal pentobarbital infusion dose and in‐hospital mortality needs to be further validated.

The original transcription guidelines of The Canterbury Tales Project (CTP) were first developed by Peter Robinson and Elizabeth Solopova and were published in 1993. Since then, the project has evolved, bringing about numerous changes of varying degrees to the process of transcription. In this article, we revisit those original guidelines and the principles and aims that informed them and offer a rationale for changes in our transcription practice. We build upon Robinson and Solopova’s assertion that transcription is a fundamentally interpretive act of translation from one semiotic system to another and explore the implications and biases of our own position (e.g. how our interest in the text of The Canterbury Tales prioritizes the minutiae of that text over certain features of the document). We reevaluate the original transcription guidelines in relation to the changes in the project’s practices as a means of clarifying its position. Changes in the project’s practice illustrate how it has adapted to accommodate both necessary compromises and more efficient practices that better reflect the original principles and aims first laid down by Robinson and Solopova. This article provides practical examples that demonstrate those same principles in action as part of the transcription guidelines followed by transcribers working on The Canterbury Tales Project. Rather than perceiving this project as producing a definitive transcription of The Canterbury Tales, the CTP team conceptualizes its work as an open access resource that will aid others in producing their own editions as it has done the heavy lifting of providing a base text.
“Pacience is an Heigh Vertu”: Managing the Canterbury Tales Project Via Textual Communities
Authors: Dase Kyle , Atkings Nicole
Published: December 2021

This article functions as both a reflective essay and a pedagogical account of the second phase of the Canterbury Tales Project and the various successes and challenges that unfolded throughout that process. Our focus is how the project both managed the transcription team working locally at the University of Saskatchewan and facilitated transcription workshops abroad. We detail our training process and the transcription workflow as facilitated via the Textual Communities environment. We also examine and evaluate the causes of the project’s challenges—often the result of institutional pressures or technological changes—and our reactions to those challenges, emphasizing successful strategies. Finally, we proffer future changes for the project that we believe would have made considerable positive impact if implemented from the outset of phase two and still have potential as helpful resources now. It is our hope that in detailing our process we can help other large DH projects mimic our successes and, perhaps even more importantly, avoid any pitfalls that challenged us.
Towards an Intersectional Perspective in Cycling
Authors: Lam Tiffany
Published: December 2021

In recent years, concerns about climate change have elevated cycling on urban policy agendas worldwide. The rapid implementation of temporary cycling infrastructure in cities across the globe during the Covid-19 pandemic has further elevated the importance of cycling in facilitating a green and just recovery. However, if cycling is to be a key part of a green and just recovery for cities, then an intersectional perspective is needed to ensure that cycling can be an equitable and inclusive mode of transport. An intersectional perspective acknowledges that there are multiple systems of oppression, which interact in complex ways to compound inequalities and reinforce certain power dynamics. Structural and spatial inequalities contour urban mobility, as evidenced by well-documented gender, racial and socioeconomic disparities in cycling. This paper provides an overview of gender and other inequalities in urban cycling and makes the case for adopting an intersectional perspective to cycling policies and infrastructures, so that cycling in cities can be more diverse, equitable and inclusive.

Published: December 2021

Introdução: a Atividade Física (AF) em ambiente escolar, especificamente ao aluno da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), pode estruturar situações de ensino-aprendizagem que garantem aos alunos acesso a conhecimentos práticos e conceituais, desenvolvimento de suas potencialidades, de forma democrática e não seletiva, visando seu aprimoramento. Objetivo: caracterizar o perfil dos alunos da EJA quanto à prática de AF. Método: estudo descritivo, quantitativo, realizado com alunos da EJA da rede pública de ensino de um município do estado de Goiás, período noturno. Foi utilizado questionário semiestruturado, autoaplicável e individual com informações referentes aos hábitos diários, meio de transporte utilizado para ir à escola, prática regular de AF (frequência, localidade e duração da prática). Para análise dos dados antropométricos de peso e altura foi utilizado o Índice de Massa Corpórea. Resultados: foram analisadas respostas de 72 alunos da EJA sendo 59,7% do gênero feminino e 40,3% do gênero masculino, com idade entre 18 a 51 anos. As alunas apresentaram maior percentual de gordura, indicando sobrepeso e obesidade grau 1. O consumo de bebidas alcóolicas e uso do tabaco foram dominantes entre homens.O sedentarismo foi predominante alegado à falta de tempo demandado pela jornada de trabalho associada aos estudos. Conclusão: a prática de AF deve ser incentivada aos alunos da EJA com estratégias que possibilitam motivação e atributos advindos da qualidade de vida.

Objetivos: analisar os impactos na saúde mental em mulheres em cumprimento de pena no Centro de Referência da Gestante Privada de Liberdade, localizado em Minas Gerais, que estão prestes a se separem de seus filhos. Também foram verificados os recursos disponíveis no local de estudo para o acolhimento materno-infantil, a existência de programas destinados ao suporte psicológico das mulheres que estão prestes a vivenciar a separação de seu filho e foram propostas intervenções pertinentes para a redução do sofrimento mental dessas mulheres. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa em que foram realizadas entrevistas com 5 mães que cumpriam os requisitos pré-estabelecidos e também com as diretoras do local. Também foi conhecido os espaços oferecidos pelo centro para cumprir os objetivos acima citados. Resultado: grande sofrimento das mães prestes a se separarem de seus filhos e sua preocupação com apego mãe-filho e o posterior trauma da separação. As principais reclamações foram acerca da distância do local e da situação em si de estar com o filho em uma prisão. Também foi observado que o local oferecia acompanhamento médico e psicológico adequado para as mães e os filhos e um ambiente arejado e sem grades. Conclusão: medidas devem ser tomadas pelo poder público afim de manter locais como esse em funcionamento, expandir essa ideia para outros estados e evitar o isolamento social das mães quando estão nesses centros.

Objetivo: avaliar o estado nutricional das crianças e adolescentes e relacionar com tempo de permanência na instituição COPAME, no município de Santa Cruz do Sul- RS. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, retrospectivo, de caráter quantitativo realizado em uma instituição de acolhimento para crianças em risco social. A amostra foi constituída por conveniência, com dados de prontuários de 31 crianças e adolescentes de 0 a 15 anos, abrigados na instituição COPAME, no período de julho de 2017 a setembro de 2018. A análise estatística foi realizada no programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 20.0 (Chicago, IL). Primeiramente realizou-se uma análise descritiva a partir dos cálculos de média, desvios padrão e frequências. Utilizou-se o teste de Mann-Whitney ou teste T de Student para comparar os resultados médios da variável idade, peso e altura, o Qui-quadrado para verificar possíveis mudanças no estado nutricional e no consumo alimentar dos escolares antes e após o acolhimento e para a comparação das variáveis estado nutricional (antes e após o acolhimento) com sexo e motivo do abandono, considerando-se significativo um valor de p<0,05. Resultados: a amostra estudada atendendo os critérios de inclusão e exclusão totalizou 31 crianças e adolescentes. Foi composta por 64,51% (n=20) crianças menores de 5 anos e 35,49%( n=11) maiores de 5 anos de idade. Em relação ao sexo, observou-se maior proporção de meninos 21 (67,7%). O principal motivo que levou as crianças ao acolhimento foi negligência (80,6%, n=25). A média de tempo de abrigamento das crianças foi de 6,90±5,93 meses. A maioria das crianças e adolescentes encontravam-se em eutrofia em todos os índices antropométricos avaliados no momento do acolhimento. A análise da relação entre sexo e motivo do acolhimento com os indicadores antropométricos utilizados para classificação do estado nutricional não mostrou relação significativa em nenhuma das variáveis analisadas. Conclusão: ao analisar os dados antropométricos dos dois grupos etários estudados, 0 a 5 anos e 5 a 15 anos, acolhidas durante o período do estudo pode-se observar que houve uma piora do estado nutricional em todas as variáveis estudadas, em relação ao momento e após o abrigamento, uma parte das crianças apresentou o crescimento insatisfatório comparando com os padrões adotados pelo Mistério da Saúde.

Introdução: a vibração de corpo inteiro (VCI) gerada através da plataforma vibratória (PV) se constitui em um recurso de treinamento para melhorar a saúde na população idosa. Objetivo: avaliar o efeito da VCI sobre a composição corporal, gasto metabólico, perfil bioquímico e estresse oxidativo de idosas. Método: ensaio clínico randomizado que avaliou 28 idosas alocadas no Grupo Controle (GC) e no Grupo Plataforma Vibratória (GPV). Antes e após treino de VCI (35 Hz) (8 semanas/2 mm/3 sessões semanais) foram avaliados o hemograma e a glicemia, perfil lipídico, níveis de ácido úrico, creatinina e ureia após coleta de amostra sanguínea. O estresse oxidativo foi avaliado por meio do teste das substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico através de análise da urina, sendo a composição corporal avaliada por meio de balança de bioimpedância. Resultados: amostra [GC (n= 16); GPV (n= 12)] com idade de 66,30±4,80 anos, apresentou aumento dos níveis de eosinófilos (p= 0,045), glicemia (p= 0,021), creatinina (p= 0,041) e massa gorda (p= 0,001) e redução dos níveis de monócitos (p= 0,010), massa magra (p= 0,001) e gasto metabólico (p= 0,001) após treinamento com VCI, sem que tenha alterado o estresse oxidativo das idosas avaliadas. Conclusões: a VCI não alterou clinicamente o perfil bioquímico, a composição corporal e o gasto metabólico basal e não alterou o estresse oxidativo das idosas avaliadas.

Authors: Schuster Aline Daniele , Wolhmeister Denise
Published: December 2021

Introdução: o câncer de colo de útero é considerado um problema de saúde pública mundialmente. Seu diagnóstico é realizado através do exame citopatológico (EC) e seu desenvolvimento está relacionado à infecção pelo Papiloma Vírus Humano (HPV). Objetivo: estabelecer prevalência de diferentes genótipos de HPV em amostras cérvico-vaginais no Rio Grande do Sul. Método: foi realizada uma revisão da literatura e visando alcançar o máximo de sensibilidade na estratégia de busca, foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: "Papillomavirus Infections", "genotypes", “Rio Grande do Sul”, “Brazil” e "uterine cervical neoplasms", obtida da MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Resultados: a pesquisa eletrônica foi realizada por meio da estratégia supracitada e foram encontrados 34 estudos. Após a revisão dos resumos, oito artigos elegíveis foram escolhidos e mais três foram selecionados de forma manual. Os artigos elegíveis para inclusão nesta revisão descrevem qualquer possível relação entre Papilomavirus Humano, genótipos, estado do Rio Grande do Sul no Brasil e Câncer Cervical. Considerações finais: os genótipos mais prevalentes no Rio Grande do Sul continuam sendo os incluídos nas vacinas disponíveis pelo Ministério da Saúde e a prevenção secundária segue sendo uma estratégia para rastreamento e diagnóstico de alterações citopatológicas.
