Prediction of protein venom epitope (kistomin) from Calloselasma rhodostoma using immunoinformatics to design vaccine based on epitope
Authors: Faizah Zyana Fithri Nur , Kurniawan Nia , Fatchiyah Fatchiyah
Published: September 2021

accines based on epitope are alternative treatments for snakebite aside from anti-venom immunoglobulin, which is specific and not cross-reaction. However, the potential kistomin epitope has not been known. This study identified the region of T cells epitope and evaluated their immunogenicity to induce an immune response by in-silico. Sequences of kistomin were collected from Swiss-Prot with ID P0CB14. The physico-chemical and conserved domain of kistomin were predicted by using ProtParam and the NCBI database. The T cell epitope was predicted by using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method on the IEDB website. Epitopes with MHC-IC50 values more than 250 nM were further analyzed for conservation and immunogenicity on the IEDB website as well. After that, the candidate 9-mer epitope was interacted by simulated docking with four Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules (5ENW, 6VB0, 3PGD, 6DIG). The conserved 9-mer epitope candidates with high immunogenicity and having similarities with the 15-mer epitope candidates are 4-VLLVTICLA-12 and 27-NVNDYEVVY-35. The 4-VLLVTICLA-12 candidate epitope interacted at β-sheet structure of four MHC. In contrast, The 27-NVNDYEVVY-35 candidate epitope interacted at α-helix and β-sheet structures of HLA-B*15:02 MHC. This study suggested 27-NVNDYEVVY-35 is potentially used as vaccine from envenomation Calloselasma rhodhostoma. In future studies, other alelles can be used to predict epitope from metalloproteinase domain in kistomin.

O estudo da compreensão de conceitos em álgebra linear é um tema de interesse na educação matemática, principalmente pela abstração e complexidade que apresentam. Um conceito objetivo do ensino de álgebra linear na licenciatura em matemática é o operador linear diagonalizável, portanto, com base na teoria APOE, conjectura-se sobre um modelo cognitivo que considera sua construção como um objeto. Para isso, aplicou-se um questionário a cinco alunos de pós-graduação (25-30 anos) e uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados mostram dois percursos de construção que os alunos seguiram na construção do conceito de estudo, nos quais são requeridas as estruturas mentais conjecturadas na decomposição genética preliminar. Além disso, verificou-se que os alunos entrevistados, com sua concepção de processo matricial semelhante, preferem determinar se a representação matricial do operador linear é semelhante a uma matriz diagonal do que coordenar os processos de base ordenada e autovetores no próprio processo de base.

Published: September 2021

Este estudo objetiva analisar percepções de licenciandos/as sobre as práticas avaliativas em um curso de licenciatura em matemática e discutir implicações para a aprendizagem dos conteúdos específicos matemáticos. Trata-se de resultado de uma pesquisa qualitativa, expositiva e explicativa. O curso e os/as estudantes foram selecionados/as por amostra não probabilística acidental. Os dados foram produzidos mediante as seguintes ações metodológicas: análise documental, observação de aulas, entrevista semiestruturada, a promoção de uma roda de conversa, acesso a redes sociais ‒ grupos fechados: Facebook e WhatsApp, procedendo-se à análise do conteúdo. As bases teóricas de análise foram a teoria da reprodução e uma concepção de avaliação da aprendizagem como processo formativo integrado à prática docente. Nossos/as interlocutores/as manifestaram acentuada preocupação com a obtenção de notas para aprovação e advogaram a favor da prova tradicional como o instrumento adequado e fidedigno para aferir a aprendizagem. Na percepção da maior parte deles/as, diversificar instrumentos de avaliação, além da prova, significa facilitar a aprovação, rebaixar o nível de exigência e a qualidade do curso. Outra parte deles/as mostra grande dificuldade com a avaliação praticada no curso, compreendendo-a como seletiva e indicando a necessidade de diversificação dos instrumentos avaliativos. Há um silenciamento dos/as interlocutores/as em relação à concepção de avaliação formativa e integrada à prática pedagógica. Expressam uma percepção inicial e nebulosa do caráter oculto e legitimador da avaliação que, ao classificá-los/as e selecioná-los/as, responsabiliza-o/as por seus êxitos e fracassos.

Authors: Ribeiro da Silva Denise Cristina , Giongo Ieda Maria
Published: September 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o que diz um grupo de professores do ensino fundamental que ministrava aulas em aldeias indígenas, no Município de Ourilândia do Norte – PA, acerca de sua prática de ensino de matemática. De cunho qualitativo, tem como referencial teórico-metodológico o campo da etnomatemática, preocupado com a problematização dos aspectos sociais, políticos, culturais e educacionais também no ensino da matemática. Os dados foram produzidos a partir de discussões gravadas e, posteriormente, transcritas, com esse grupo de docentes. A análise dos dados foi efetivada por meio da análise textual discursiva na perspectiva de Moraes e Galiazzi (2007), e permitiu a emergência, entre outras, da ideia de que, embora com escassas políticas públicas para a formação de docentes, os pesquisados procuravam efetivar práticas pedagógicas assentadas nas culturas de seus estudantes. Ademais, foi possível inferir a existência da necessidade premente de investigações com cerne na formação de grupos de estudos contínuos, com a efetiva participação de professores que lecionam em comunidades indígenas, tendo como premissa a confecção, a análise e o desenvolvimento de tarefas destinadas aos estudantes indígenas.

Objective – to investigate the features of platelet-vascular hemostasis in women with abnormal uterine bleeding on the background of submucosal uterine fibroids.Material and methods. The study included 30 women with abnormal uterine bleeding with submucosal uterine fibroids. Features of thrombocyte-vascular hemostasis were studiedResults. There are new data in relation to the features of certain links of the adjusting system of the aggregate state of blood on a background development of post hemorrhage anaemia. It is clearly shown that changes in the system of adjusting of the aggregate state of blood in women with a severe degree of anaemisation are the display of subclinical inopexi.Conclusions. Changes in the fibrinolytic potential of blood in women with chronic posthemorrhagic anemia on the background of abnormal uterine bleeding and submucosal uterine fibroids are secondary, due to the activation of thrombin and fibrinogenesis by external mechanisms.

Published: September 2021

The aim of the study. To determine the prevalence of risk factors for cardiometabolic complications in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults compared to other types of diabetes depending on the phenotype of the disease.Materials and methods. A comprehensive examination of 106 patients with diabetes mellitus: 45 (main group) with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), 26 - with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), 35 - with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Complaints, anamnesis data, objective examination, results of general clinical, laboratory researches, indicators of carbohydrate metabolism, titers of antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase were evaluated.Results. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in LADA was 51% and was significantly higher than in T1DM (19%), but was lower compared with T2DM (94%). The highest incidence of MS was found in patients with the LADA2 phenotype (87%). Of particular note is the fact that this figure was close to that in T2DM. At the same time in LADA1 the incidence of MS was lower (36%), but twice as high as in T1DM. In addition to hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity (62% of patients), hypertension (78%) and dyslipidemia (56%) were commonly reported in LADA.Conclusions. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome as a complex of cardiometabolic risk factors in LADA differs from that in classical types of diabetes, which requires a differential approach to their management.

In this paper, we will examine if trickle-down effect has ever taken in rural Indonesia. One of the case draws attention in economic development study is poverty and income gap from wealthiest people to the less fortunate larger group of people. The argument goes as trickle-down effect appears to be best solution to eradicate poverty as well as to solve the income gap. Tourism has become of a strategy targeted by government to spread the trickle-down effect to the less fortunate larger group of people. Government believes by sustaining the growth on tourism would accelerate the trickle-down effect and brings less fortunate group of people to better living. In its fundamental theory, trickle- down effect has offered delusion where jobs would be created as the conditions are met. However, this paper argues that even in tourism the trickle-down effect strategy has served less for what it has promised. Through qualitative research in Ngadisari Village, a remote area, where Mount Bromo has been a tourism landmark globally, this paper finds that trickle-down effect has come with little benefit to uplift the living standard of the poor. Thus, trickle- down effect has served only as delusions of growth government has ever aspired.

Published: September 2021

Introduction

The objective of this study was to examine the barriers that influence access to and use of mental health services by Black youths in Alberta.

Methods

We used a youth-led participatory action research (PAR) methodology within a youth empowerment model situated within intersectionality theory to understand access to health care for both Canadian-born and immigrant Black youth in Alberta. The research project was co-led by an advisory committee consisting of 10 youths who provided advice and tangible support to the research. Seven members of the advisory committee also collected data, co-facilitated conversation cafés, analyzed data and helped in the dissemination activities. We conducted in-depth individual interviews and held four conversation café-style focus groups with a total of 129 youth. During the conversation cafés, the youths took the lead in identifying issues of concern and in explaining the impact of these issues on their lives. Through rigorous data coding and thematic analysis as well as reflexivity and member checking we ensured our empirical findings were trustworthy.

Results

Our findings highlight key barriers that can limit access to and utilization of mental health services by Black youth, including a lack of cultural inclusion and safety, a lack of knowledge/information on mental health services, the cost of mental health services, geographical barriers, stigma and judgmentalism, and limits of resilience.

Conclusion

Findings confirm diverse/intersecting barriers that collectively perpetuate disproportional access to and uptake of mental health services by Black youths. The results of this study suggest health policy and practice stakeholders should consider the following recommendations to break down barriers: diversify the mental health service workforce; increase the availability and quality of mental health services in Black-dominated neighbourhoods; and embed anti-racist practices and intercultural competencies in mental health service delivery.

Published: September 2021

Introduction

Reporting on alcohol use among women of reproductive age in Canada addresses a major gap in evidence.

Methods

We assessed the prevalence of weekly and heavy alcohol consumption among women aged 15 to 54 years by sociodemographic characteristics, province of residence and concurrent use of other substance(s) using data from the 2019 Canadian Community Health Survey.

Results

Of the target population, 30.5% reported weekly and 18.3% reported heavy alcohol consumption in the past year. Prevalence varied by sociodemographic characteristics, province and substance use. The most notable and significant differences were to do with cannabis use and smoking.

Conclusion

This information can guide health care providers in assessing alcohol consumption and in promoting low-risk alcohol drinking to prevent alcohol exposure during pregnancy.

Authors: Palmeter Sarah , Probert Adam , Lagacé Claudia
Published: September 2021

Introduction

The lack of national fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) prevalence estimates represents an important knowledge gap.

Methods

Using data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth, the prevalence of FASD was examined by age, sex and Indigenous identity. Median age of diagnosis and comorbid long-term health conditions were also assessed.

Results

The prevalence of FASD among Canadian children and youth living in private dwellings was 1 per 1000 (0.1%). The prevalence was significantly higher among those who identified as Indigenous and lived off reserve (1.2%).

Conclusion

These findings are in keeping with FASD prevalence studies that used similar passive surveillance methods. They provide a starting point to better understanding the prevalence and burden of FASD in Canada.
In the footsteps of Einstein and Wiener
Authors: Ashursky Emir
Published: September 2021

In this interdisciplinary study brought to your attention, a rather bold attempt was made to develop a certain qualitatively improved scientific paradigm that would satisfy all informational, spiritual and material aspects of being. That is, the author quite consciously sets himself an unimaginably, it would seem, difficult task on formalization and unifying most of the existing laws of Nature. And, besides, his arguments are supported also with the help of a number of appropriate equations of theoretical physics as far as possible.

For instance, it is just from such natural-science point of view that a fairly clear rationale is given here for so tangible quantitative superiority of the inert proton mass present in space now over its nuclear "brethren" - neutrons.

Thereby, this article, with its uncompromising sharpness and readiness for general open controversy, noticeably differs from many other thematically similar studies, which makes it relevant exactly in our days, when it’s urgently required to learn, after all, to think in a new way, i.e. creatively and impartial!
Testing of Image Compression Methods
Authors: Chernov Pavel A.
Published: September 2021

Seven console codecs BMF 2.01 (BMF.exe), WebP (cwebp.exe, dwebp.exe), PAQ8L (paq-8l_intel.exe), PAQ8P (paq8p_sse2.exe), JPEG-LS (jpeg.exe), JPEG2000 (convert.exe), PNG (opting.exe) are tested on a set of 19 grayscale images and 10 color images (widespread images used in testing compression methods). An image compression program tester was developed. The tester receives images and executable files of image compression programs, and programs are started for each input image to compress and restore the image. The program operation results are contained in an HTML/CSS file, which includes, among other information, the bitrates achieved by the compression programs and the results of checking how successfully the compressed files were restored. Partial clones of the Blend-A13+, Blend-16, Blend-20 compression methods have been made to compare the effectiveness of the multipredictors that lie at the heart of the Blend-A13+, Blend-16, Blend-20 methods. Partial clones of the Blend-A13+, Blend-16, Blend-20 compression methods consist of multipredictors used in the Blend-A13+, Blend-16, Blend-20, methods, and 13 and 16 elementary predictors used in the Blend-A13+ and Blend-16 methods, respectively. The predictor GAP+ is replaced by the predictor GAP; the modeling like JPEG-LS is replaced by contextual modeling with quantization of a context from differences of pixels from the vicinity of the coded pixel, the arithmetic coder, and the reversible intercolor RGB-YUV transformation from JPEG2000. For many images, the obtained partial clones outperformed the results yielded by the JPEG-LS, JPEG2000, PNG methods and gave results at the level provided by the PAQ8L and WebP compression methods. In general, the BMF2.01 method demonstrated the best results on the test set of images. On the test set of images, the multipredictors from Blend-16 and Blend-20 unexpectedly provided color image compression results poorer than the multipredictor from the Blend-A13+ method. In compressing grayscale images, the multipredictor from Blend-20 yielded better results than the multipredictors from Blend-16, Blend-A13+.

Significant scales in which biomass accumulates have prompted specialists to search ways of efficiently using its energy potential at the background of the crisis of non-renewable energy sources. One of such ways is torrefaction – thermochemical pyrolysis of biomass by subjecting it to slow heating and holding at a temperature of 200–300°C to obtain a solid carbon-containing product. Investigations carried out in the biomass torrefaction field are reviewed and analyzed. Biomass properties and various ways of processing it for use as power-generating fuel are considered. The properties of non-torrefied and torrefied pellets are compared. The latter, in comparison with the source ones, feature an increased heating value, low hygroscopicity, sufficient bulk density, and good grindability. The main torrefaction technologies and types of torrefaction reactors are considered. A mathematical model of a wood waste torrefaction plant was developed in the Aspen Plus software environment. The study results have revealed the effect the specific heat admission to the torrefaction reactor and the initial moisture content in the material have on the process operating parameters: the mass fraction of carbon transferred into solid torrefaction products and the pyrolysis gas specific yield, composition, heating value, and temperature. The possibility to arrange autonomous heating of the reactor using the chemical heat of pyrolysis gas has been shown. The reactor heating requires 44% of the gas waste from the torrefaction process; the other 56% can be used as an energy source in related technologies. The obtained results can be used in studying and designing the reactor and torrefaction plant.

Methods for safely performing works on a disconnected overhead power line under induced voltage conditions in compliance with the regulatory documentation requirements are considered. According to the "Rules for Labor Protection in Operation of Electrical Installations", work under induced voltage can be performed in one of two ways: grounding the overhead line at both ends and at the workplace (using the potential equalization technology or "without de-energization" for doing work) and with the overhead power line grounded only at the workplace. It is believed that by applying these methods the voltage induced on the disconnected line can be reduced to a safe value of 25 V. It is shown that the methods for safe performance of work on a disconnected overhead line stipulated by the regulatory documents ensure a relatively low reliability of repair personnel protection against being injured by induced voltage, in view of the influence of the human factor on the electrical safety. It is proposed to enhance the safety of work on a disconnected overhead power line by applying protective grounding through the use of a grounding electrode at the workplace with resistance sufficiently low for reducing the induced voltage to acceptable values. Analytical expressions have been obtained, using which it is possible, based on the results of induced voltage measurements, to determine the required value of the workplace grounding resistance and the level to which the induced voltage level is reduced as a result of grounding the overhead power line wires at the workplace. Proposals have also been developed on introducing amendments in the regulatory documents aimed to ensure more reliable protection of repair personnel against being injured by induced voltage.

Published: September 2021

Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), its prognostic significance, and the correlation between YAP1 and telomerase in various cancers.Methods: The Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database was used to analyze RNA sequencing data and the survival rate of patients with various cancers in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. PrognoScan was used to analyze the prognostic value of YAP1 expression in various cancers. Tumor Immune Estimation Resource was used to determine the correlation between YAP1 expression and telomerase in various cancer types based on TCGA data.Results: The analysis suggested that YAP1 was differentially expressed between tissues of various cancers and non-tumor tissues. High YAP1 expression was also related to a poor prognosis in adrenocortical carcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Moreover, YAP1 expression was correlated with the expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase and telomerase RNA component in various cancer types.Conclusion: These results suggest that YAP1 is a potential biomarker with prognostic significance and relevance for oncogene research in various cancer types. The correlation between the expression of YAP1 and telomere-associated genes will help to understand their cancer-promoting mechanisms and interactions.

Una preocupante realidad se vive en el interior de la prensa deportiva debido a la poca importancia que se le da a la presencia de la mujer dentro de este género periodístico. El predominio masculino que rige en estos tipos de programas convierte a la mujer en un «objeto» de atracción para incrementar los niveles de audiencia; modalidad recurrente no solo en el Perú, sino en otros países del orbe, producto del estereotipo del concepto de la mujer. El ámbito deportivo siempre ha sido un terreno dominado por los hombres y causa sorpresa que en el siglo actual, donde impera la tecnología y la informática y supuestamente la sociedad tiene otra mentalidad, se mantengan pensamientos machistas, que desmerecen el trabajo que vienen realizando las mujeres para desarrollarse a nivel personal y profesional en una sociedad que le es adversa y que no respeta sus derechos. El objetivo de la presente investigación es demostrar que las mujeres tienen un bajo nivel de presencia en los segmentos deportivos de los noticieros matutinos de América Televisión (Primera Edición), Panamericana Televisión (Buenos Días Perú) y ATV (ATV Edición Matinal).

El término empoderamiento fue acuñado en la Conferencia Mundial de Mujeres en Beijing para promover acciones que solventen la dignidad de las mujeres; teniendo esto como base para construir la paz, prosperidad y sostenibilidad (ONU Mujeres, 2015). En el presente estudio, se revisan los alcances o accesibilidad de las mujeres a la educación, economía, sociedad y política, debido a que se considera que una persona empoderada debe alcanzar equilibrio, autonomía y capacidad de actuar según su propio proyecto de vida. El empoderamiento minimiza los actos violentos contra los miembros de la familia y abre caminos para fortalecer y lograr una sociedad más digna.
El amor en tiempos de pandemia
Authors:   Escuela Profesional de Psicología, Universidad de San Martín de Porres, Perú, Montenegro Carrasco Wilfredo
Published: September 2021

A partir de la pandemia, provocada por la COVID-19, se reflexiona sobre la realidad de la condición humana: la crisis de amor. El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación es incursionar en la reflexión filosófica y ética sobre el valor del amor y la fe en situaciones difíciles, como lo son las circunstancias por las que atraviesa la humanidad en la actualidad. Se pone en consideración que el verdadero problema radica en la crisis de valores y la falta de amor producto del individualismo, hedonismo y narcisismo. Se concluye que el amor es la base de todo camino conducente a una vida con sentido. La base del sentido de la vida, la salud y la felicidad no se encuentran en la ciencia, el poder político o económico, sino en el amor y la confianza en Dios. Además, la finalidad es pasar de la ética del riesgo a la ética del amor para reconstruir la cuna del amor: la familia. Como se lee en la Biblia: «Permanezcan en la fe, la esperanza y el amor. La más excelente de ellas es el amor» (1Cor 13, 13); «Vivan arraigados y cimentados en amor, por medio del Espíritu que los fortalezca en lo íntimo de su ser» (Efe 3, 16-17).

Objectives. The article aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the types of value used in IFRS when assessing assets and liabilities, and identify the features of the use of fair value as a type of value, considering the use of certain levels of fair value and restrictions on their use.
Methods. For the study, we used the systems analysis, comparative study method, information structuring, data grouping, deduction, and other methods of scientific research.
Results. The article summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each of the valuation methods described in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – IFRS. It systematizes the standards that use certain types of value, and analyzes the features of the use of fair value. The article also identifies factors that affect the ability to measure a higher level of fair value.
Conclusions. Fair value is one of the most used valuation methods in international accounting practices. However, the use of fair value in estimating the value of reporting items is limited due to the complexity and high cost of its qualitative valuation. This makes companies use alternative valuation methods.
The possible impact of the introduction of the greenhouse gas emissions charge on the electricity cost
Authors: KONONOV Yurii D. , KONONOV Dmitrii Yu.
Published: September 2021

Subject. The article focuses on the strategy of low carbon development of the economy and power engineering in Russia, which implies the introduction of CO2 emission charges. The adoption of CO2 tax can seriously influence the future mix of power plants and spur the cost of electricity. The expected adverse effect is great for the national and energy security. However, to correctly assess the strategic threats, there should be thorough and multidimensional research.
Objectives. We quantify the possible effect of the introduction and growth in the CO2 tax on the cost of electricity across regions of the European part of Russia.
Methods. We applied the systems analysis and the original optimization model, which accounts for the ambiguity of inputs and the correlation in the development of the regional power supply systems.
Results. Based on our experimental computations, we proved that the methodological toolkit is effective for the above task. We outlined how the structure of power plants launched and the cost of electricity can possibly change in some federal districts if the CO2 tax increases from USD 10 to 40 per tonne of CO2.
Conclusions and Relevance. In the above circumstances in the European part of Russia, including the Urals, each percent of an increase in the CO2 charge will expectedly lower the greenhouse gas emissions correspondingly, while the cost of electricity rises by 0.4–0.5 percent. Moreover, the mix of power plants and the cost of electricity will be getting less and less different across regions.

Objective: To study the frequency and causes of the development of infectious toxic shock (ITS) in typhoid fever in military servants during the epidemic and the post-epidemic period. Methods: In 451 Military Hospital of the Russian Ministry of Defense (Dushanbe, Republic of Tajikistan) from 1995 up to 2009 were treated 837 military servants, hospitalized with a diagnosis of typhoid fever, of which 38 (4.54%) had ITS. The degree of endogenous intoxication and the parameters of the cardiovascular, respiratory and urinary systems evaluated. Results: It’s been identified during the epidemic, since (1996 to 1999) from 350 (41.8%) hospitalized patients in 20 (5.7%) and the post-epidemic period (2000-2009) out of 487 (58.2%) patients in 18 (3.6%) were diagnosed the ITS. The intensive therapy provided ITS relief and achieving a favorable outcome for all 38 patients. Conclusions: Thus, ITS which is one of the formidable complications of typhoid fever, was more frequently occurred in the epidemic period (5.7%), which coincided with the period of armed confrontation. In the post-epidemic period, which was on peacetime, its frequency was 3.6% of all hospitalized patients with typhoid fever.

The study was conducted from August to December 2019; top managers of 25 largest private medical organizations, whose geography of activity covers 30 entities of the Russian Federation, took part in the survey. Results: The study showed that some of the interviews (43%) observed resistance to the development of the health service by doctors and medical personnel who remained a supporter of classical methods of providing medical care at a proper time and nor ready to provide remote counselling to patients. As a reason for the inert participation by medical professionals in telemedicine projects, 33% of respondents indicated low demand by patients and the peculiarities of the Russian’s mentality, 19% noted a misunderstanding of telemedicine. Some respondents (12%) see the telemedicine projects as the State social function for low-income citizens who live in remote areas and where there is no qualified medical staff. Conclusions: Most of the study participants expressed confidence that telemedicine services in the future will enter everyday life as a patient-friendly element of medical services, but it won’t become a direction that brings great profit to the private medical sector. Keywords: Remote patient care, telemedicine, healthcare, medical assistance, information technology.

Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência de isoimunização Rh materna no período de 2018 a 2020 em maternidade do Amazonas. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional e descritivo retrospectivo de casos de sensibilização materna a Rh(D) atendidos em uma maternidade pública na cidade de Manaus, Amazonas. Foram utilizados dados secundários a partir do prontuário para análise de variáveis como tipagem sanguínea e fator RhD, idade, raça, idade gestacional, paridade, testes de controle Coombs. Esses prontuários estavam catalogados no Serviço de Atendimento Médico e de Emergência (SAME) no período de estudo. Resultados: A prevalência foi de 1,49% dos casos notificados. A média de idade da gestante foi de 25,17 anos, sendo 63% das pacientes de cor parda. A tipagem sanguínea, foi de 61,2% das mulheres do tipo O negativo e os recém-nascidos, 41,5% O positivo. A média de consultas de pré-natal foi de apenas 5,3 consultas. Conclusão: A taxa de prevalência encontrada, apesar de baixa, poderia ser ainda menor, uma vez que na maioria das mulheres da Região Norte outros tipos sanguíneos são mais prevalentes. O pré-natal com número reduzido de consultas pode ter sido fator responsável pela falha da prevenção da Doença Hemolítica perinatal no Estado.
