RESUMO Relata-se um experimento de verificação da identificação de um universo de palavras do português popular escrito por duas versões de um dicionário computacional do português brasileiro (PB), DELAF PB 2004 e DELAF PB 2015. Esse dicionário computacional é gratuitamente acessível para ser utilizado em análises linguísticas do Português do Brasil e em outras pesquisas, o que justifica um estudo crítico. O universo vocabular provém do corpus PorPopular, composto por jornais populares, o Diário Gaúcho (DG) e o jornal baiano Massa ! (MA). Do DG, partiu-se de um conjunto de textos com 984.465 palavras ( tokens) , publicados em 2008, com ortografia desatualizada frente ao Acordo Ortográfico da Língua Portuguesa adotado em 2009. Do MA, examinou-se um universo com 215.776 palavras ( tokens) , em publicações de 2012, 2014 e 2015, com todo o material na nova ortografia. A verificação envolveu: a) gerar listas de palavras diferentes empregadas em DG e MA; b) comparar essas listas com as listas de entradas das duas versões do DELAF PB; c) avaliar a cobertura desse vocabulário; d) propor modos de inclusão de itens não cobertos. Os resultados do trabalho mostraram, no DG, uma média de 19% de palavras diferentes ( types) desconhecidas pelos DELAF PB 2004 e 2015. No MA, essa média ficou em 13%. A versão do dicionário repercutiu ligeiramente sobre o desempenho do reconhecimento de itens.
O LUGAR DA FONÉTICA/FONOLOGIA DO PORTUGUÊS EM DOCUMENTOS OFICIAIS PORTUGUESES DO ENSINO BÁSICO
Authors: RODRIGUES Siane Gois Cavalcanti , Cristina Manuela SÁ
Published: May 2019

RESUMO A Nomenclatura Gramatical em vigor em Portugal até 2003 datava de 1967. Em 2007, instituiu-se uma nova terminologia linguística, por meio da publicação do Dicionário Terminológico (DT). Tal dicionário resultou da revisão da Terminologia Linguística para os Ensinos Básico e Secundário, analisada neste estudo. Em 2015, outro importante documento entrou em vigor: o Programa e Metas Curriculares de Português para o Ensino Básico e Secundário (PMCPEB). Considerando a importância da Fonética e da Fonologia para a reflexão sobre a língua e para a ampliação dos saberes linguísticos dos alunos, e levando em conta o fato de, tradicionalmente, essas áreas fazerem-se pouco presentes no currículo escolar português (VELOSO, 2006), os objetivos desta pesquisa foram: analisar o espaço ocupado pela Fonética e pela Fonologia no PMCPEB, no 3º ciclo do Ensino Básico1 e analisar se os verbetes da revisão da TLEBS contemplam os conteúdos desses campos previstos pelo PMCPEB. O estudo fundamentou-se em Cagliari (2009), Veloso (2006), Veloso e Rodrigues (2002) e evidenciou que essas disciplinas têm escasso lugar no PMCPEB; que os verbetes constantes da revisão da TLEBS não abrangem todos os conteúdos previstos pelo PMCPEB para essas áreas e que há erros terminológicos e imprecisão teórica na composição dos verbetes investigados.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the factors associated to Potential Drug Interactions with High Alert Medications in the Intensive Care Unit of a Sentinel Hospital. Methods: a cross-sectional, retrospective study using a quantitative approach carried out at a Sentinel Hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The research was based on the analysis of the prescriptions of patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital, in a period of one year, in order to identify the drug interactions related to high alert medications in these prescriptions. Results: Of the 60 prescriptions analyzed, 244 were selected. In these prescriptions, 846 potential drug interactions related to high alert medications and 33 high alert medications were identified. Of the 112 types of potential drug interactions identified, some were more recurrent: tramadol e ondansetron, midazolam and omeprazole, regular insulin and hydrocortisone, fentanyl and midazolam, and regular insulin and noradrenaline. The variables polypharmacy, length of hospital stay, and some specific medications were associated with drug interactions with high alert medications. Conclusion and Implications for practice: It is important to strengthen strategies to reduce adverse drug events. Therefore, the relevance of studies that investigate the origin of these events is highlighted. Drug interactions can represent medication errors. It’s indispensable to work with strategies to better manage the medication system.

Authors: Fons Sastre Martín B.
Published: May 2019

Resumen: Desde el nacimiento del Odin Teatret, Eugenio Barba tuvo presente la indagación en las técnicas del actor y en su entrenamiento continuo para alcanzar el nivel óptimo de presencia escénica. Fruto de dicho interés, surgió en 1979 la International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA), dando lugar a la Antropología Teatral como nueva disciplina para el estudio de los fundamentos de la actuación. En el presente artículo se plantea el análisis de los enfoques metodológicos desarrollados por la Antropología Teatral a lo largo de estos 40 años y sus posibles conexiones con otros campos del saber científico, destacando sus aplicaciones historiográficas, etnoescenológicas y neurocientíficas, para el estudio de los principios pre-expresivos del actor y las estrategias dramatúrgicas que configuran su bios escénico.

Published: May 2019

Abstract Introduction There are only a few instruments available to assess behavioral problems in school-age children based on reports of physical education teachers. The Motor Behavior Checklist (MBC) was designed to be completed by this professional in free play-situations or during physical education classes to rate students’ motor-related behavior using 5-point Likert scales. The MBC comprises 59 items distributed into two broadband factors (externalizing and internalizing) and seven behavior problem scales: rule breaking, hyperactivity/impulsivity, lack of attention, low energy, stereotyped behaviors, lack of social interaction, and lack of self-regulation. The objective of this study was to describe the translation and cross-cultural adaptation processes of the MBC into Brazilian Portuguese. Method The following procedures were conducted: forward translation of the original instrument, production of a synthesized version, back-translation, literal and semantic comparison, back-translator’s evaluation of divergent items, synthesized version with back-translator’s suggestions, clarity assessment of the synthesized version by professionals (physical education teachers), focus group to assess clarity indicators of the instrument, evaluation of adjustments by the author of the instrument, and production of the final version. Results The results indicated a satisfactory level of agreement between the original and the back-translated versions, with 68% of exact equivalence between the translated items and 16% of terms requiring minor adjustments. In the draft version, 84% of the items were evaluated as clear by physical education teachers. Conclusion The translated version has compatible content with the original version. Future studies should be conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the MBC.

Abstract Objective To assess the relationship between sexual hormones, sexual function and quality of life in postmenopausal women. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 36 postmenopausal women between the ages of 45 and 65 in follow-up at a climacteric outpatient clinic. Mood, quality of life, sexual function and hormonal profile were assessed. Results With regard to sexual hormones and sexual function, a relationship was found between orgasm and luteinizing hormone (r=0.37), orgasm and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) (r=0.39), SHBG and less pain (r=0.44), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and desire (r=-0.45), as well as between prolactin and lubrication (r=0.33). Sexual hormones and quality of life were related as follows: progesterone and limitations due to physical aspects (r=0.35), SHBG and social aspects (r=0.35), cortisol and pain (r=0.46), DHEA and social aspects (r=-0.40). Finally, the following relationships were found between sexual function and quality of life: sexual desire and vitality, social aspects, state of general health and mental health (r=0.46, r=0.51, r=0.35, and r=0.38, respectively). Arousal, orgasm and satisfaction with sexual life showed a relationship with less physical pain (r=0.40, r=0.42, and r=0.43, respectively). Satisfaction with sexual life was correlated with vitality (r=0.33). Conclusion Different correlations than expected were found in this study regarding the effect of some hormones on sexual function and some aspects of the quality of life of postmenopausal women.

Abstract Objective To assess the association between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and acute stress disorder (ASD) in patients who have suffered physical trauma. Methods Data were collected at an emergency hospital in Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Participants were over 18 years of age, victims of physical trauma, and had been hospitalized for a minimum of 48 hours. A total of 117 hospitalized patients who agreed to participate in the research were grouped according to the shift in which blood was collected (38 subjects from the morning shift and 79 from the afternoon shift), had their BDNF levels measured and responded to other questionnaires. Respondents were further grouped by age into three ranges: 18-30, 31-50 and 51-70 years. Results We found a significant difference in the distribution of BDNF between the two shifts in which blood samples were collected, with the afternoon group having higher BDNF levels (U = 1906.5, p = 0.018). A difference was observed only between the 18-30 group and the 51-70 group in the afternoon shift (Umorning = 1107, pmorning = 0.575; Uafternoon = 7175, pafternoon = 0.028). Conclusions The population whose blood samples were collected in the afternoon showed significantly higher values of BDNF compared to those of the morning shift. This same population presented lower BDNF levels when associated with ASD subtypes A1, A2, and A. We hypothesize that the lower values of BDNF measured in the morning shift were due to a response to the circadian cycle of cortisol, whose action inhibits the expression of serum neurotrophins.

Resumo Este relato visa apresentar e discutir o embasamento, o desenvolvimento e os resultados de um grupo de enfrentamento organizado com trabalhadores bancários adoecidos. A atividade foi realizada pelo Núcleo de Ação em Saúde do Trabalhador (NAST), em parceria com o Sindicato dos Bancários de Limeira. Partindo da trajetória profissional dos trabalhadores, o objetivo foi o de problematizar as características da organização do trabalho contemporâneo nesse setor. O grupo realizou oito encontros de aproximadamente duas horas na sede do sindicato, em Limeira. Nos encontros, os trabalhadores relataram situações laborais adversas determinantes no processo saúde-doença. Grande parte das queixas dos trabalhadores estava relacionada ao desgaste mental ocasionado pela pressão sofrida para alcançar metas superdimensionadas, levando ao estresse -, dentre outras formas de adoecimento -, inclusive pela falta de reconhecimento por parte dos gestores e usuários da instituição. O grupo se mostrou dispositivo potente de enfrentamento e ferramenta importante ao dar espaço de voz para trabalhadores se articularem na construção de estratégias individuais e coletivas para promoção da saúde no local de trabalho.

Finite-element analysis of strains in seepage barriers of the earth dam
Authors: Athani Shivakumar S. , Solanki Chandresh H. , Dodagoudar Goudappa R. , Shukla Sanjay K.
Published: May 2019

This paper presents the strain profiles obtained along the height of the seepage barriers of the earth dam. The seepage barriers are employed in the permeable dam section in order to obstruct the seepage of water from upstream to downstream and thereby reducing the risk of piping. A total of 36 finite-element simulations were carried out in the study, wherein the combination and placement of the cut-off walls in the earth dam section were varied. The results include the horizontal, vertical and shear strain profiles and their variation along the height of barriers with respect to its position for different reservoir conditions, such as high reservoir and 5 d drawdown conditions. By the adoption of single barrier in the dam section, the strain values were found to be on the higher side when compared with the near-end barrier in double-configuration system under high reservoir conditions, whereas for the drawdown conditions, the magnitude of the strains in the barrier were more or less the same. The higher strain levels induced in the barrier could cause cracking of the barrier, thereby impairing the function of the barrier.

Published: May 2019

Solid-state dewetting is a simple and versatile technique for fabricating plasmonic-nanostructure-decorated platforms. However, understanding of the optical properties of these platforms and the effect of the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the underlying substrate on the dewetting of metallic thin films is still needed for developing effective platforms for further applications. Herein, the authors report gold (Au)-nanoisland-decorated 3D titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorod (TiNR) arrays fabricated through the thermal dewetting approach. It is demonstrated that the plasmonic behavior of the fabricated platforms can be manipulated by controlling both the initial gold film thickness and annealing temperature. Furthermore, the fabricated platforms exhibited Raman signal enhancement of up to ∼102 for the probe molecule methylene blue. The surface characteristics of the fabricated platforms were evaluated for biological interactions. For this purpose, osteogenic cells (Saos-2) were seeded on the samples. It was found that the cell behavior was improved on the anisotropic micro–nano pattern of TiNRs and gold-coated TiNR films because of features such as topography and surface chemistry. The authors’ results clearly offer simple but important guidance for the creation of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy platforms and tissue-integration devices as biomaterials for real-life applications.

Published: May 2019

Utilizando como alicerce as teorias do Capital Humano e dos Recursos Cognitivos, este estudo objetivou verificar a influência do grau de instrução formal na gestão dos municípios da região Sul do Brasil. Para tanto, um modelo econométrico foi criado para a análise dos dados, tendo como variável dependente o Índice de Desempenho Fiscal (IDF), formada pela Arrecadação Própria (AP) de cada município dividida por sua respectiva Despesa Líquida (DL), e como variável explicativa o Grau de Escolaridade (GE) de cada prefeito eleito em uma escala de “Lê e escreve” até “Superior completo”, além de outros importantes índices como variáveis de controle. Destacam-se o PIB e a População, além da Idade do Prefeito, todas influenciando positivamente o desempenho fiscal do município, embora em um grau menor. Outro ponto importante é o poder explicativo do modelo, com um R² de 0,2454, muito superior a pesquisas envolvendo o complexo fenômeno do desempenho municipal. Como no Brasil a exigência para concorrer e assumir cargos eletivos é apenas saber ler e escrever e se sabendo que a educação é um caminho essencial para o desenvolvimento de qualquer país, este artigo visa aumentar o conhecimento sobre o tema, com intenção de provocar os eleitores a ampliar sua análise sobre os candidatos, ponderando sobre suas qualidades no campo da educação formal. Ao final, conclui-se que o grau de educação influencia positivamente o IDF, indicando que em cidades com gestores com maior nível educacional, o desempenho fiscal tende a ser maior.
Asset Price Learning and Optimal Monetary Policy
Authors: Caines Colin , Winkler Fabian
Published: May 2019

We characterize optimal monetary policy when agents learn about endogenous asset prices. Learning leads to inefficient asset price fluctuations and distortions in consumption and investment decisions. We find that the policy-relevant natural real interest rate increases with subjective asset price beliefs. Optimal monetary policy therefore raises interest rates when expected capital gains are high. When the asset is not in fixed supply, optimal policy also &amp;quot;leans against the wind&amp;quot;. In a simple calibration of the model, a positive response to capital gains in simple interest rate rules is beneficial. Our results are robust to alternative belief specifications.

Foregrounding and Metaphor: A Stylistic Study on Hamza Yusuf’s Religious Poems
Authors: Ediyono Suryo , Ali Sopyan
Published: May 2019

Poetry not only communicates information but also arouses the readers’ feeling to a thoughtful sense and the life’s perception of the author through parable objects. Poetry could be perceptually prominent if it is expressed through linguistic deviation, which further defined as “foregrounding”. This article is an attempt to provide understandings from the analysis of Shaykh Hamza Yusuf’s religious poems that engage both semantic and sound patterns (phonological) analyses. The semantic level of the poems dealt with metaphorical analysis as realized in several lines that observed the foregrounded words, phrase and sentences which are semantically deviant, and are classifiable into personification and depersonification. At the phonological level, the sounds patterns cover the use of certain sounds found on major lines of both poems, the distribution of similar sound patterns can produce the aesthetic effects, the common observed styles found in Hamza Yusuf’s religious poems are the repetitions or anaphora, assonance, alliteration, rhythmic sounds of the beginning, in- and end rhymes, and the middle rhyme.

La Amelogénesis Imperfecta (AI) constituye un grupo de alteraciones de la estructura normal del esmalte dental de origen genético que perturba su apariencia clínica. La AI se clasifica en hipoplásica, hipomadura o hipocalcificada. Estas anomalías pueden existir de manera aislada o asociada a otras afecciones sistémicas en el marco de un síndrome. Nuestro objetivo es describir de manera detallada los genes involucrados en la AI no sindrómicas, las proteínas codificas por estos genes y sus funciones de acuerdo a la evidencia científica actual. Se realizó una búsqueda electrónica de literatura desde el año 2000 hasta diciembre de 2017, pre-seleccionando 1573 artículos, de los cuales 63 artículos fueron analizados y discutidos. Los resultados indicaron que mutaciones en 16 genes son responsables de una AI no sindrómica: AMELX, AMBN, ENAM, LAMB3, LAMA3, ACPT, FAM83H, C4ORF26, SLC24A4, ITGB6, AMTN, MMP20, KLK4, WDR72, STIM1, GPR68. Futuras investigaciones abordadas desde la visión translacional, ayudarán a identificar nuevas mutaciones o nuevos genes que contribuirían a una evolución en la manera de clasificar, diagnosticar y tratar los diferentes tipos de amelogénesis imperfecta.
Modeling the Dynamics of Pigment Content in Cells of Dunaliella Salina Teod. Unicellular Alga at the Stage of Carotenogenesis

Published: May 2019

The work is focused on modeling of chlorophyll and carotenoids content dynamics in the in cells of the unicellular algae D. salina, living in salt water, at carotenogenesis
induction phase. A mathematical model of pigments content in microalgae cells, which experience excess of light energy and the limit of nutrient medium mineral components, is proposed. The model
is based on assumption, that observed rate of variation in pigment concentration is an algebraic sum of the rates of synthesis, photodestruction and partial recovery of photo-oxidized pigments.
The rate of secondary carotenoids synthesis does not depend on external conditions and is determined by the quantity of key enzyme complex and its turnover rate. The rate of secondary carotenoids
and chlorophyll photodestruction depends on the effective light intensity and is proportional to the amount of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation energy. The verification of the derived
equations was conducted in the course of D. salina cultivation at the carotenogenesis stage. The specific rate of chlorophyll a photodestruction was determined, which
resulted in 0.12 days–1. The secondary carotenoids concentration increases up to the maximum value, which is determined by the ratio of synthesis and photodestruction specific
rates, as well as the maximum culture density. Under conditions of natural light in the Sevastopol region, the maximum concentration of carotenoids was 18.33 mg/l or 0.73 g/m2.
ON THE PROBLEM OF VISCOUS INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUID FLOW IN A FLAT CONICAL SLOTTED CHANNEL
Authors: KRESTIN Evgeny A.
Published: May 2019

A precision pair operating under misalignment conditions, i.e. at a distortion of mobile elements of contactless consolidations is analyzed. The fl ow of a viscous incompressible fl uid in a fl at conical slit gap is investigated. Since the boundary-value problem does not have an exact solution, an approximate analytical solution was found in the work that does not depend on boundary conditions. The equations of motion of a fl uid are solved in the Navier-Stokes form by the method of small perturbations. The hydrodynamic parameters of a viscous fl uid as it moves through a conical slit gap are determined. The profi le of the velocity of the fl uid in the form of the sum of a pressure fl ow with a constant pressure drop and fl ow due to the oscillation of the channel wall is constructed. Graphic illustrations are given with high and low frequency limits of oscillations.

Los nativos digitales que se encuentran en las aulas requieren una educación dirigida a alcanzar los objetivos educativos y a la adquisición de competencias recogidas en el currículo educativo de Bachillerato, pero al mismo tiempo necesitan que la educación que reciben les capacite para afrontar los retos que les presenta la sociedad del siglo XXI. Este artículo recoge los resultados de una encuesta, completada por 390 estudiantes que cursan el Bachillerato en la modalidad de Artes, dirigida a conocer la percepción de la utilidad pedagógica de la Realidad Virtual Inmersiva. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes han utilizado esta tecnología, pero no como herramienta educativa en el aula. No obstante, consideran que su uso puede tener un efecto positivo en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la califican como una herramienta idónea para complementar su aprendizaje incluso fuera de las instituciones de enseñanza formales. La aplicación de la Realidad Virtual Inmersiva como herramienta estimuladora del aprendizaje plantea importantes retos a las instituciones educativas a corto plazo.
Las resistencias del profesorado universitario a la utilización de las tecnologías digitales
Authors: Mercader Cristina
Published: May 2019

El estudio desarrollado centra su foco de atención en el profesorado universitario y en los motivos por los cuales éstos no utilizan habitualmente las tecnologías digitales de manera habitual como herramienta de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el aula universitaria. El objetivo principal es identificar las resistencias del profesorado de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona a la utilización de tecnologías digitales. Se utiliza una metodología mixta secuencial, con la técnica del cuestionario y entrevistas a profesores y gestores. Los resultados muestran el hábito, la gestión de la innovación, la falta de formación, el trabajo a reloj y la inversión en actualización como las resistencias principales a la utilización de las tecnologías digitales. En conclusión, se determina que la utilización de las tecnologías digitales es escasa, que su utilización no depende tanto de la edad o estabilidad laboral, sino de la predisposición y autopercepción del conocimiento de tecnologías digitales, así como que la falta de planificación y evaluación en la institucionalización del cambio es uno de las mayores barreras existentes.

Las investigaciones centradas en la formación del profesorado desde el enfoque de las competencias han coincidido en sintetizar un mapa que retoma el conjunto de aquellas consideradas sustanciales para el desempeño de la docencia. En este artículo se muestran los resultados del diagnóstico y valoración que el profesorado de primer curso de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil-UCSG otorga a las competencias docentes de planificación, comunicación, integración de medios/digital, evaluación, innovación e investigación, componentes de un programa de desarrollo profesional. Para ello, se aplicó un enfoque mixto de complementariedad metodológica cuanti-cualitativa, profundizando en el análisis de datos desde ambos enfoques, incidiendo en el análisis de contenido de preguntas abiertas y grupos de discusión. Los resultados permiten concluir que las competencias más valoradas en la práctica por el profesorado participante son: planificación e integración de medios/digital, siendo las menos investigación, evaluación, comunicación e innovación.

Hypothesis/aims of study. Endometriosis is one of the most pressing problems of gynecology. Clarifying the expression of the estrogen receptor (ESR1) and the progesterone receptor (PGR) genes and polymorphisms in the aromatase (CYP19A1) gene in endometriosis will expand the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and the causes of resistance to its therapy. The objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of mRNA expression of PGR, ESR1 and CYP19A1 genes in paired samples of the eutopic endometrium and peritoneal endometrioid lesions in order to search for predictive markers of response to hormonal therapy. In the future, this may allow personalizing the selection of hormonal preparations for the treatment of endometriosis.
Study design, materials and methods. Reverse transcription real-time PCR made it possible to evaluate CYP19A1, PGR and ESR1 gene expression levels in studied tissue samples from 22 patients with endometriosis and 9 women in the comparison group.
Results. Quantitative analysis revealed a high heterogeneity in the expression level of the studied genes, in both the endometrium and endometrioid lesions from patients with endometriosis. In the endometrium of patients in the comparison group, the heterogeneity of the expression level was observed only for the ESR1 gene.
Conclusion. Our findings suggest a high variability in CYP19A1, ESR1 and PGR gene expression levels in the endometrium and peritoneal foci in patients with endometriosis. This information indicates the need for an individual approach to prescribing targeted therapy, since it is obvious that the effect of treatment will depend primarily on the availability of a therapeutic target in a particular patient. The absence of a typical expression pattern for each of the genes in patients with endometriosis indicates the heterogeneity of the disease and the need to develop a molecular classification of this common pathology.
Evaluation of Dog Walking Programs to Promote Student Nurse Health
Authors: Yordy Morgan , Graff Emily
Published: May 2019

Aim: To provide a brief review of health concerns associated with a sedentary lifestyle and summarize some of the benefits of walking, with specific focus on the value of dog-walking programs as a means to improve health and wellness for the student nurse.Methods: A professor within the School of Nursing and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine collaborated to review research on the benefits of dog walking and interventions utilizing dogs to increase and sustain physical activity in their owners and those that enjoy the companionship a dog can provide.Results: Dog walking is an intervention to increase activity among student nurses due to companionship and the sense of obligation dogs provide. Research suggests that dog owners are more physically active with subsequent health benefits for both owners and dogs. Animal assisted therapy programs within the university setting can link students with dogs to improve physical activity.Conclusion: Dog walking has benefits to both people and dogs. Nursing faculty can develop physical activity programs within their institution that incorporate walking a dog to enhance physical activity among student nurses. Further research is needed to empirically evaluate effectiveness of dog walking in the student nurse population.
HIV, HBsAg and HCV prevalences among voluntary blood donors in Mumbai: trends over a decade
Authors: Narayankar Shilpa Laxmikant , Maindad Vikas Chandrahas
Published: May 2019

Background: With over 93 million donations made every year worldwide, blood transfusion continues to save millions of lives each year and improve the life expectancy and quality of life of patients suffering from life threatening conditions. At the same time, blood transfusion is an important mode of transmission of infection to the recipient. The present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of HIV, HBV and HCV infections in voluntary blood donors at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Mumbai over a decade.Methods: All voluntary donors reporting to the blood bank were screened for HIV, HBsAg and HCV by using the appropriate enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The study was designed for duration of ten years between January 2008 to December 2017. Medical reports of the donors were accessed from the blood bank records and analyzed.Results: A total of 8928 voluntary blood donors were screened. Amongst the blood donors, seropositivity of HBV (6% to 1.52 %) was highest followed by HIV (2.5% to 0.15%) then HCV (1.85% to 0.37%).Conclusions: Decreasing trends with low prevalence observed in the study is an encouraging sign supporting the growing awareness of these life-threatening diseases.

Background: Malignant hemopathies constitute a group of pathologies having in common the anomalies of the bone marrow or of the lymphatic system cells. In developed countries, the number and actual distribution of cancers is provided by cancer registries. In Madagascar there is no effective cancer registry and only two studies on malignant hemopathies have been carried out to date, but neither has described their epidemiology and clinical aspects. Thus, we aimed to describe the epidemiology and clinical aspects of malignant hemopathies managed in the Medical Oncology Unit of the Military Hospital of Antananarivo.Methods: It was a cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out at this unit from 1st December 2012 to 31st August 2015 (33 months). Authors included all patients followed, then excluded those without pathologic evidence, cases of monoclonal gammapathy of unknown significance and cases of solid cancers.Results: We followed up 57 cases of malignant hemopathies. The mean age was 49.39±15.46 years and the sex ratio was 1.71. Superficial lymphadenopathy was the most frequent warning signs (31.58%) and lymphomas were most represented (52.63%). There was a significant association between warning signs and diagnosis (p value <0.001).Conclusions: Present results are grossly similar to those of other African authors. Present results are distinguished by a low proportion of chronic myeloid leukemia and a very low proportion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia compared to literature data. The effectiveness of the cancer registry will allow us to improve the knowledge about frequency and current distribution of cancer in Madagascar.

Published: May 2019

Background: Extra cranial carotid disease due to arteriosclerosis is usually associated with hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia. Extra cranial carotid stenosis has been found to be less prevalent in black American and in Egyptians while intracranial disease is far more common Various methods includes transcranial doppler (TCD) ultrasonography, cerebral angiography, computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).Methods: All patients with ischaemic stroke of acute onset admitted in the medical wards of Konaseema institute of medical sciences between June 2018 and January 2019 were included in the study. All patients were subjected to CT scan brain study and colour Doppler study of extra cranial carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. Systolic and diastolic velocity of blood flow, carotid intimal medial thickness, presence of athermanous plaque and thrombus was looked for and then the percentage of stenosis of the affected arteries was calculated.Results: In the present study 0ut of 23 patients with carotid stenosis 9 patients had mild carotid stenosis, 8 patients had moderate stenosis and 6 patients had severe stenosis. Out of 23 patients with carotid stenosis the 11 patients have stenosis in the right carotid and 12 patients had stenosis in the left side. The site of stenosis is ICA in 17 patients and CCA in 6 patients.Conclusions: In present study every patient with carotid artery stenosis had one or the other risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis. In other words, there was no patient with carotid artery stenosis, without any risk factor in present study. Hence asymptomatic patients with these risk factors should be screened for carotid stenosis to prevent stroke.
