A Selection of Constitutional Perspectives on Human Kidney Sales
Authors: Venter Bonnie
Published: April 2017

There are thousands of desperate people globally who need a kidney for transplantation. The number of people who require a kidney transplant continues to escalate faster than the number of kidneys available for a transplant. The specific focus of this article is to determine whether the payment of kidney donors could be regarded as constitutionally acceptable or not. To establish the constitutional acceptability of the reimbursement of kidney donors the following rights are analysed: the right to life, the right to human dignity, the right to self-determination, the right to privacy, and the right of access to healthcare services. Case law regarding the above is also included. After careful consideration of all of the above it is concluded that it should be regarded as constitutionally acceptable to remunerate a kidney donor for his kidney.
The Myth of Objectivity: Implicit Racial Bias and the Law (Part 2)
Authors: Gravett Willem Hendrik
Published: April 2017

The centrality of race to our history and the substantial racial inequalities that continue to pervade society ensure that "race" remains an extraordinarily salient and meaningful social category.  Explicit racial prejudice, however, is only part of the problem.  Equally important - and likely more pervasive - is the phenomenon of implicit racial prejudice: the cognitive processes whereby, despite even our best intentions, the human mind automatically classifies information in racial categories and against disfavoured social groups. Empirical research shows convincingly that these biases against socially disfavoured groups are (i) pervasive; (ii) often diverge from consciously reported attitudes and beliefs; and (iii) influence consequential behaviour towards the subjects of these biases. The existence of implicit racial prejudices poses a challenge to legal theory and practice. From the standpoint of a legal system that seeks to forbid differential treatment based upon race or other protected traits, if people are in fact treated differently, and worse, because of their race or other protected trait, then the fundamental principle of anti-discrimination has been violated. It hardly matters that the source of the differential treatment is implicit rather than conscious bias. This article investigates the relevance of this research to the law by means of an empirical account of how implicit racial bias could affect the criminal trial trajectory in the areas of policing, prosecutorial discretion and judicial decision-making.  It is the author's hypothesis that this mostly American research also applies to South Africa. The empirical evidence of implicit biases in every country tested shows that people are systematically implicitly biased in favour of socially privileged groups. Even after 1994 South Africa – similar to the US – continues to be characterised by a pronounced social hierarchy in which Whites overwhelmingly have the highest social status. The author argues that the law should normatively take cognizance of this issue.  After all, the mere fact that we may not be aware of, much less consciously intend, race-contingent behaviour does not magically erase the harm. The article concludes by addressing the question of the appropriate response of the law and legal role players to the problem of implicit racial bias.
El código de barras de adn (barcoding): una herramienta para la investigación y conservación de la diversidad biológica en Ecuador
Authors: Altamirano-Benavides Marco , YANEZ-MORETTA PATRICIO
Published: April 2017

El Ecuador es un país considerado megabiodiverso por su alta riqueza de especies en varios grupos biológicos; sin embargo, aún se desconoce el número total de estas especies, en parte debido a la falta de fondos de investigación, complejidad taxonómica de algunos grupos y el relativo aislamiento del país en relación a iniciativas científicas mundiales. Solamente la creación de un sistema de identificación de especies que incluya las características del espécimen voucher, muestras de tejidos y la secuencia de Barcodes permitiría llegar a determinar la verdadera riqueza biológica del Ecuador. El presente trabajo aborda algunos aspectos sobre la iniciativa mundial del «Código de Barras del ADN», se hace hincapié en sus potenciales aplicaciones en torno a la investigación para la conservación de la diversidad biológica del Ecuador. Esta iniciativa propone emplear información dentro de una misma región génica (gen mitocondrial del Citocromo c Oxidasa I = COI), en todas las especies vivientes y con condiciones de secuenciación universalmente aceptadas y estandarizadas. Esta herramienta científica no pretende sustituir la taxonomía alfa y la filogenia, sino más bien agilizar las tareas de identificación, especialmente en el campo de la Biomedicina (identificación de patógenos, parásitos y vectores), el control de plagas (cualquiera sea su estado de desarrollo ontogenético), detección de especies invasivas, estudios sobre conservación de la biodiversidad y sanción de delitos ambientales. La integración del «Código de barras del ADN», el trabajo de campo, las colecciones de museos y la investigación científica resultan imprescindibles para que esta herramienta redunde en avances significativos en la generación de bioconocimiento en el Ecuador.

Published: April 2017

Conservar la fauna silvestre neotropical parte de conocer cuáles son las zonas más adecuadas para su hábitat, por ello el objetivo de esta investigación es identificar la distribución geográfica potencial del hábitat de la Cuniculus Paca (Guanta), en el occidente de Ecuador, utilizando el programa de modelamiento predictivo Maxent. Las variables abióticas que determinan el habitad son las precipitaciones de trimestre más cálidos junto al trimestre más seco y el trimestre más frío, así como la altitud. Se identificó un área potencial en el occidente del país de 19.948 Km2, de los cuales 94% está intervenida y 5% con bosque nativo. Se concluye que el Maxent es un predictor confiable, con un AUC de 0.98. Para preservar el área potencial de distribución geográfica de esta especie se propone como medida de reconstrucción ambiental el diseño de corredores ecológicos y zonas de amortiguamiento.

Comment on Solberg and Jensenius: The Temporal Dynamics of Embodied Pleasure in Music
Authors: Witek Maria A. G. , Vuust Peter
Published: April 2017

In the paper 'Pleasurable and Intersubjective Embodied Experiences of Electronic Dance Music', Ragnhild Torvanger Solberg and Alexander Refsum Jensenius report on a study in which the movements and self-reported affective responses of a group of dancing participants were recorded and related to structural properties of Electronic Dance Music. They observed that, compared with tracks that had a relatively flat dynamic development, tracks which included a 'break-down', 'build-up' and 'drop' of textural layers were associated with greater changes in movement amount and higher ratings of pleasure. Here I comment on their results and methodological approach and use the opportunity to address the continuous pleasure that was treated as a control in this experiment, discussing some reasons why affective responses to music with more evenly distributed dynamic progressions are so often ignored.

Authors: Gupta Monika , Pandotra Poonam , Jindal Monika , Jamwal Gitanjali , Goraya SPS , Gupta Vipan
Published: April 2017

Background: Thyroid diseases are the one of commonest endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age group, and hence constitute the commonest endocrine disorder complicating pregnancy. Maternal thyroid function changes during pregnancy and inadequate adaptation to these changes results in thyroid dysfunction. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism and to study the fetal and maternal complications associated with hypothyroidism.Methods: A prospective and observational study undertaken over a period of 2 years from 1st October 2009 onwards. Pregnant women were screened for thyroid dysfunction irrespective of gestational age. Patients were divided into two group; Group I (subclinical hypothyroidism)- all pregnant patients with serum TSH ≥ 3 mu/l up to 6 mu/l and normal free T4 levels. Group II (clinical hypothyroidism)- all pregnant patients with serum TSH level ≥ 6 mu/l OR on thyroxine pre-pregnancy.Results: In the present study, prevalence of thyroid disorder was 6.22%, subclinical hypothyroidism and clinical hypothyroidism being 3.77% and 2.45% respectively. In subclinical group and clinical group, we found, preeclampsia, preterm labour, first trimester abortions and oligohydramnios in 13.75% versus 19.23%, 13.75% versus 36.54%, 11.25% versus 11.53%, and 16.25% versus 23.02% respectively. Subclinical hypothyroidism was more prevalent and hidden leading to the poor obstetrical outcome and fetal complications like low birth weight, prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction. There was higher incidence of caesarean deliveries in both groups more in clinical hypothyroid cases.Conclusions: Due to the adverse effect of maternal thyroid disorder on maternal and fetal outcome, timely diagnosis and initiation of treatment of hypothyroid disorders is essential.

Published: April 2017

Background: Pain relief is an important issue for women in labour. Epidural analgesia provides safe and effective pain relief. But It has not been fully accepted and is not routinely practiced in most of the centres in developing countries despite of many advantages of this technique. Therefore, this study has been conducted with an objective to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding epidural analgesia among expectant mothers.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 60 expectant mothers visiting antenatal OPD at DMC & Hospital, Ludhiana selected by convenience sampling technique. Knowledge assessed by using a structured questionnaire and attitude assessed by 3 point likert scale regarding epidural analgesia. Analysis was done using both descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The findings of the study revealed that 46.7% expectant mothers had below average level of knowledge, 35% had average level of knowledge and 18.3% had good level of knowledge. 96.7 % had positive attitude and only 3.3 % had negative attitude towards epidural analgesia. Correlation between knowledge with attitude was to be significant (r=0.609; p=0.000).Conclusions: Thus, the study concluded that most of women had below average level of knowledge and but they showed positive attitude regarding epidural analgesia.

Published: April 2017

Background: Paracervical infiltration is used in vaginal hysterectomy to facilitate dissection. Use of paracervical infiltration however can be associated with local ischemia and infection. We did a study to find out its benefits during vaginal hysterectomy.Methods: It was a prospective case control study. Patients were divided into two groups. In the first group, no paracervical infiltration was given. In the second group paracervical infiltration was given before hysterectomy. The operating time, blood loss and postoperative infection were noted in each group.Results: The operating time was slightly higher in vaginal hysterectomy group without infiltration (p=0.025) The operating time in laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy group was not significant (p=0.0296). There was significant difference in Hemoglobin after surgery in both groups (p value 0.614 for vaginal hysterectomy and 0.173 for laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy). There was no case of infection in both groups.Conclusions: From our study, we concluded that paracervical infiltration offers no distinctive advantage during vaginal hysterectomy or laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy.

Background: Menarche is an important milestone in the life of a girl which signifies the onset of fertility in a woman. To understand the health consequences and importance of menstrual hygiene practices among adolescent girls, it is important to study the current practices about the same so that future interventions can be planned accordingly.Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional study design. A total of 85 adolescent girls (10-19 years old) were interviewed by the investigator over a period of 3 months (Jan-Mar 2015). Data were analyzed using the software SPSS version 17.Results: Out of 85 adolescent girls studied, the majority was between 15 to 19 years. In our study 71(83.5%) out of 85 adolescent girls had already started their menstruation. The mean (±SD) age of menarche in the study subjects was 11.4±5.3 years. Around 33 out of 71 (46.4%) girls practiced different restrictions during menstruation. Out of 71 (85.9%) girls used sanitary pads during menstruation. In cases of reused cloth, the place of its drying was observed, responses stated were; outside the house in sunlight in 1 (5.8%) girl, 14 (82.2%) dried them inside the house, and 2 (11.7%) girls dried them outside in a dark place.Conclusions: It is imperative to strengthen the menstrual hygiene management (MHM) programs of the country and have a greater outreach. Multiple strategies need to be used to address this such as education on reproductive health and menstruation provided in schools, media campaign’s and improving water and sanitation for improving school retention of adolescent girls and their overall health.
Mermaid syndrome
Authors: Marhatta Nisha , Raina Deepali
Published: April 2017

Sirenomelia, alternatively known as Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid's tail. This syndrome was originally stated by Rocheas and Palfya in 16th century. It occurs in about 1 in 100,000 live births. It is also associated with multiple anomalies like renal agenesis, ambiguous external genitalia, imperforate anus, blind intestinal loop and single umbilical artery. Occasionally double inferior Venacava, dextrocardia and angiomatous lumbosacral myelocystocele are reported as well. Most of the Sirenomelia come to an end as stillbirth. Only a few are born alive and survival beyond few hours after delivery is extremely rare. About 300 cases have been reported in the world literature so far.

RESUMO: Este trabalho é parte integrante das discussões que vêm sendo realizadas sobre “juventude, cidadania, gênero e sexualidade” no Projeto de Extensão do Curso de Serviço Social (UFPA), direcionado às/aos jovens da Terra Firme-Belém/PA. Terra Firme é caracterizada como área de periferia e possui uma população, majoritariamente, negra. A partir das narrativas recolhidas, reflete sobre ser jovem na Terra Firme. A intenção é alcançar a dimensão relacional e plural das vozes juvenis, a qual fundamenta-se nos novos estudos que compreendem os jovens como agentes sociais. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as narrativas juvenis, no centro da Amazônia brasileira, muito se assemelham as experiências da maioria das/os jovens de periferias das cidades do sul e sudeste do Brasil, no entanto, não se quer com isso reforçar perspectivas vitimistas e generalizantes, e sim, afirmar a importância de espaços dialógicos a essas vozes inaudíveis, que falam por si, prenhes de historicidade e autorepresentatividade.

Authors: Khan Waheed Zaman , Butt Ghazala , Altaf Faria
Published: April 2017

Acne vulgaris is a very common chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous units. It can be associated with considerable loss of self-esteem and psychological morbidity when left untreated. With the emergence of lasers and intense pulsed light, long-term reduction of acne lesions is now possible. The success of these optical devices depends on the selected parameters and biologic variables of patient. The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. This interventional study was conducted for a period of one year after approval of synopsis. A total of 75 patients of mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris were included through non-probability, convenience sampling. Patients were subjected to intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy once a week for four weeks. Digital photography was done at the baseline and at the sixth week. Follow-up was done after two weeks of completion of four sessions. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used for significance of IPL at six weeks of follow-up. The p value < 0.05 was taken as significant. IPL was effective in 52% of the patients. Out of all cases, 6 (8%) showed excellent results. 33 (44%) showed >50% reduction with therapy. Percentage reduction was observed as 49 ± 20% at final follow-up. Papules count was reduced from 11.95 ± 2.89 to 6.69 ± 2.96, pustules count was reduced from 2.55 ± 1.54 to 0.79 ± 1.02 from baseline to final follow-up visit. 16 subjects showed mild erythema that resolved within 24 h. None of the patients showed any severe side effects at final follow-up visit. We conclude from the results of this study that IPL is safe and efficacious in more than half of the patients in the treatment of mild and moderate acne vulgaris. A long-term follow-up is required to determine long-term safety on skin following such procedures.

La justicia transicional: la llave hacia una salida negociada al conflicto armado en Colombia
Authors: Melamed V Janiel David
Published: April 2017

La necesidad de reconstruir sociedades afectadas por las cruentas realidades de la guerra ha hecho que el concepto de Justicia transicional se constituya precisamente como un referente absolutamente central e ineludible. Tal esfuerzo procura facilitar la transición de escenarios bélicos a contextos de paz, de restablecimiento democrático y de respeto por los derechos humanos. En la actualidad, Colombia ha desarrollado novedosos mecanismos de Justicia transicional que han logrado consolidarse como instrumentos necesarios para la construcción de paz en el país, y sin los cuales no se podría pensar en una salida concertada al conflicto armado interno. Los objetivos fundamentales del presente artículo son resaltar la pertinencia de acudir a mecanismos de negociación para finalizar el conflicto armado colombiano, presentar una delimitación conceptual de la Justicia transicional, determinar si existe o no un modelo único de Justicia transicional cuyo éxito esté garantizado y, finalmente, presentar un análisis crítico acerca de los diversos dilemas entre perdón y castigo que derivan de ella.

Authors: Wardani Wardani
Published: April 2017

This article is intended to argue against those who say that the Islamic philosophy is really nothing more than thetrue ancient Greek philosophy that has been “repacked” by Islam, and to prove that Islamic philosophy, whilebeing as a result of historical process of its adopting of Greek philosophy, is to large extent the own Muslimthinkers’ thoughts by “adapting” that philosophical tradition with Islamic doctrine. As the result, they havesought to compromise between rational and revealed truth. Therefore, it sees that Islamic philosophy is a attemptto interpret the Qur’an in the light of reason. By this way of argumentation, the author wishes to say that thebalanced view of the origin of Islamic philosophy, e.g. between the historical and textual roots or betweeninfluence and originality, must be recognized, so that we will have a holistic understanding of the existence ofthis philosophical tradition in Islam.

This study is an important part of exploring on local valuable object development related to belief and treatment of Banjarese society in using amulets for medication. Amulets or assortment magic power stuffs are Sarigading fabric, Kalimbutuhan, Samban, Kuwari, Caping, Buyu and Sawan bracelets, rings, and Gelang barajah (a bracelet with a special mystical writing on it), Picis, Sisik Tenggiling (Fur’s a hedgehog), baju and saputangan berajah (clothes and handkerchief with a special mystical writing on it), etc. Banjares society uses the entire amulets are for therapy medium because they have a kinship relationship with the unseen people. That is there is one of the member of family has twin brother or sister when she or he was born, but one of them was gone or invisible (unseen). In addition, it is caused that they feel having a genealogy relationship with former kings in the past. Another reason why they use the amulets is because they have a kinship relationship with crocodile incarnation. This circumstance compels them to use the amulets. These belief and treatment of most Banjarese society on the amulets are believed to be used as a medium of medication for illness which cannot be cured by medic. The amulets are worned on head, neck, shoulder, arm and finger. They can be tied on waist or they are worned as usual clothes, trousers and sarung. Before the amulets use for therapy, some of them are usually scented on kemenyan (burned incense), sometimes there are also Jasmine and Cananga flowers. This magic therapy is an implementation of life style which is completely mystical magic, as well as strong fanaticism on the instinct of ancestral. Medication through the amulets or the magic power stuffs are a primitive culture which common known as dynamism, animism, fetishism, and Totemism.

Komisje Specjalne przy Komitetach Żydowskich w Polsce – aspekt geograficzny
Authors: Cała Alina
Published: April 2017

Artykuł dotyczy Komisji Specjalnej, żydowskiej organizacji paramilitarnej, utworzonej po pogromie w Kielcach (4 lipca 1946 r.) w celu samoobrony ludności żydowskiej. Istniała zaledwie przez niecały rok, ale miała istotny wpływ na stabilizację życia tej społeczności w powojennej Polsce. W założeniu jej oddziały tworzono przy Komitetach Żydowskich, jednak nie zawsze konsekwentnie, w związku z czym wytworzyła własny podział administracyjny, różniący się nieznacznie od stworzonego przez żydowski samorząd zrzeszony w Centralnym Komitecie Żydów w Polsce (CKŻP). W artykule przedstawiono specyfikę geograficznego zasięgu działania Komisji Specjalnych.

Published: April 2017

Background: Osteoporosis is associated with widespread periodontitis and impaired periodontal healing. However, there is a lack of information about the outcomes of regenerative approaches under the influence of osteoporosis. This study investigates the effect of leptin (LEP) overexpression on the regenerative potential of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in an osteoporotic rat periodontal fenestration defect model.

Methods: Rat BMSCs were transfected with adenoviruses harboring the human (h)LEP gene. Cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. A β‐tricalcium phosphate scaffold seeded with transfected cells was implanted into nude mice to investigate ectopic osteogenesis and into an osteoporotic rat defect to study periodontal regeneration. Regenerated periodontal and bone‐like tissues were analyzed by histologic methods.

Results: hLEP overexpression induced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs as evidenced by the upregulation of osteogenesis‐related genes such as Runt‐related transcription factor 2, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and collagen Type I, as well as increased ALP activity and enhanced mineralization. Mice implanted with hLEP‐BMSC–containing scaffolds showed more extensive formation of bone‐like tissue than those in other groups. Periodontal defects were also filled to a greater degree when treated with hLEP‐BMSCs and contained cementum and a well‐organized periodontal ligament after 10 and 28 days.

Conclusion: hLEP overexpression in BMSCs can stimulate periodontal regeneration in osteoporotic conditions and might be a promising strategy for periodontal regeneration in patients with osteoporosis.

Authors: Prieto Gutiérrez Juan José
Published: April 2017

La presencia del libro digital en la educación universitaria es una realidad. El objetivo principal del estudio es confirmar el desarrollo del libro digital en las 50 universidades de America Latina que mejor están situadas según el ranking de Scimago durante el año 2016. También se busca determinar el tipo de acceso al documento y las plataformas más empleadas. Como tercer objetivo se examinan las ventajas y desventajas que el personal de las bibliotecas experimenta día a día con el paulatino incremento de los libros digitales. Con el fin de responder a los objetivos planteados se consultan las páginas Web de las 50 instituciones analizadas y se envían encuestas a los responsables de los centros. Los diversos análisis confirman que todas las bibliotecas estudiadas ofrecen libros digitales a los usuarios universitarios. El 50% de las instituciones prefiere comprar el derecho de acceso a las obras mientras que el 40% combina la suscripción y la compra, siendo las plataformas más empleadas Springer y Wiley eBooks.
Abordagem bourdieusiana para uma análise de campo: um enfoque para a comunicação científica e o acesso aberto
Authors: Medeiros Jackson da Silva
Published: April 2017

O trabalho busca a compreensão de conceitos bourdieusianos, como campo, habitus e illusio, para empreender subsídios a reflexões relacionadas ao acesso ao conhecimento científico. Apresenta metodologia qualitativa e abordagem bibliográfica a partir, principalmente, das obras que tratam dos conceitos sistematizados por Pierre Bourdieu. Entende que as decisões no campo científico sempre envolvem a dualidade política e científica e que as escolhas feitas pelos agentes estão baseadas em interesses simbólicos. Encerra pautando o acesso aberto como uma possibilidade de se constituir como campo de barreira, impondo seus limites para que seja possível não aceitar influências externas, como a do capital econômico.
Formação de professores e o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID): apontamentos sobre avanços e contradições de um programa
Authors: Falcão Giovana Maria Belém , De Farias Isabel Maria Sabino
Published: April 2017

Nas últimas décadas, avultam análises destacando a urgência e a importância do estabelecimento de vínculos mais estreitos entre as instituições de formação e a escola. O Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) emerge nesse cenário visando estimular e valorizar a opção pelo magistério, iniciativa que, em 2017, registra dez anos de implantação. Quais diretrizes delineiam esse Programa? Que avanços e contradições podem ser identificados na configuração do PIBID desde sua primeira edição? Essas inquietações dão corpo ao exercício de problematização da temática neste escrito. No centro das reflexões, estão as diretrizes norteadoras e delineadoras do Programa, assim como seus avanços e contradições. O exame da temática foi realizado com suporte na análise documental das seguintes fontes: referências legais e editais lançados desde o início do PIBID. O acesso aos documentos aconteceu por consulta direta ao sítio da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). O referencial teórico apoiou-se nas formulações de autores como Nóvoa, Garcia e Farias. A análise qualitativa evidenciou que o PIBID apresenta forte potencial de socialização profissional, embora também se mostre com contradições, delineando-se ora numa perspectiva de ruptura com processos técnicos e pragmáticos, ora afirma e se apoia em tais processos. Instituir políticas de formação docente fortes e abrangentes permanece, assim, um desafio neste início do século XXI.
Da dimensão pessoal na formação inicial de professores
Authors: Chaluh Laura Noemi
Published: April 2017

O presente trabalho apresenta resultados produzidos a partir de uma pesquisa que objetivou analisar e compreender os processos formativos desencadeados por um grupo de graduandos do curso de Pedagogia, de uma universidade do interior do estado de São Paulo, no contexto de um projeto de extensão. A perspectiva de formação, sustentada na trilogia linguagem-coletividade-empoderamento, legitima a produção coletiva do conhecimento em um espaço de diálogo e escuta que valoriza a autoria desses futuros professores. Socializo aqui uma proposta na qual foi possível perceber os valores e a intimidade construída no grupo, o reconhecimento do outros, a proximidade, o falar, o escutar, o olhar solidário. Uma proposta de formação que mostra a importância de resgatar a dimensão pessoal da profissão docente. Uma formação que legitima uma atenção e cuidado nas relações instituídas no contexto escolar, deixando em evidência que a formação docente não se constitui apenas por aspectos técnicos e científicos. O reconhecimento da subjetividade nos processos formativos talvez seja um diferencial na qualidade de educação que tanto almejamos.

In late 2015, the Brazilian Ministry of Health officially announced the association between microcephaly in infants and Zika virus infection of the mother during pregnancy. We describe preliminary findings of this outbreak in Ceará, Northeast Brazil and it’s clinical characteristics in each medical speciality. We report epidemiological findings of 317 cases of microcephaly outbreak potentially associated with ZIKV infection in Ceara, State, Brazil. From mid-2015 to the end of June of 2016, a total of 417 cases of microcephaly were suspected, with 317 confirmed. Among those reported cases, 83.2% (347/417) were detected in the postpartum. Rash during pregnancy was reported by (29.6%) of pregnant women, most commonly in the 1st trimester (18.4%).  The proportion of microcephaly cases increased from less than 1% to 25.8% of the registered cases of genetic abnormalities. The prevalence increased from 0.06/1000 live births in 2010 to 0.56 in 2015 and to 3.22 in January and February of 2016. In addition to microcephaly other associated malformations were detected, such as arthrogryposis, hyperexcitability, irritability with strong and frequent crying. The microcephaly phenotype caused by the zika virus is different from other congenital conditions. The infection in the prenatal period is a new teratogen reported. There is a predominance of neurological impairment, in which neuroimaging plays a crucial role in confirming the clinical suspicion of Congenital Zika Syndrome.
