O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a composição do leite de éguas suplementadas com óleo de arroz, bem como o desenvolvimento dos seus potros. O estudo foi conduzido no Setor de Equideocultura da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Campus Palmeira das Missões, utilizando quatro éguas prenhes mestiças Crioulas. O manejo alimentar diário seguiu do seguinte modo: éguas em tratamento recebiam um Kg de aveia branca (Avena sativa L), 200 ml de óleo de arroz bruto e 50 g de sal mineral. Com relação às éguas denominadas controle, alimentavam-se apenas de um Kg de aveia branca e 50 g de sal mineral. Ao longo de um período de 190 dias, foram realizadas coletas de leite e pesagens mensais dos potros. Dito isso, para o leite, foram realizadas também amostragens com fita medidora de pH, sete dias anterior ao parto, bem como “análises de ºBrix” e dos componentes do leite. Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento com óleo de arroz bruto influenciou positivamente a composição do leite materno, apresentando níveis mais elevados de gordura e proteína em comparação com o grupo controle, sugerindo possíveis melhorias na sua qualidade e composição nutricional. Além disso, os potros cujas mães receberam o tratamento apresentaram um ganho de peso médio diário superior durante os primeiros dias de vida. Em conclusão, a inclusão do óleo de arroz na dieta das éguas pode ter um impacto positivo no desenvolvimento dos potros.
Semiótica triádica de Charles S. Peirce y creatividad en la interpretación de música experimental
Authors: Alvear Cristián , Lach Lau Juan Sebastián
Published: September 2024

Este estudio aborda la interpretación de la obra experimental One for One, para cualquier instrumento que produzca alturas y computador (2015) del compositor francés Jean-Luc Guionnet a través de las tres ramas de la teoría semiótica de Charles S. Peirce. Para esto, se toma como punto de partida la relación que los instrumentistas establecen con una notación indeterminada en tanto signos cuyo significado es necesario crear. Esta labor comporta, por un lado, la creación de un patch en SuperCollider y, por otro, la generación de criterios generales que informan tanto la producción sonora del instrumento, una guitarra eléctrica, como del computador. Esto remite a los conocimientos ínsitos de los intérpretes que inferencialmente determinan la elaboración de las cualidades sonoras que una versión exhibe, a saber, la predicación respecto de la partitura. De este modo, la elaboración es examinada por medio de la noción de signo, los tres tipos de inferencia (abducción, inducción y deducción) y la forma, una proposición cuyas cualidades se refinan en un proceso diacrónico que pone a prueba los criterios que van surgiendo durante la labor creativa. Con esto, no sólo se busca explicitar el modo en que se exploran las posibilidades de significación de la notación, sino también proponer una metodología de realización congruente con el concepto de indeterminación.

Effect of Non-Farm Income on Income Inequality in Pakistan
Authors: Sadaf Tahira , Rouf Ayesha , Noreen Sidra , Ali Asghar , Azhar Komal
Published: September 2024

The portion of farm households' income outside the farm, such as non-farm salaries and wages, pensions, and interest income, is referred to as non-farm income. In Pakistan, non-farm profit is an essential source of income. "income inequality" describes the inequitable income distribution between people or families in a community or economy. Income inequality is a significant issue worldwide, including in Pakistan. This research estimated the effect of non-farm income on rural and urban areas and analyzed the relationship between non-farm income and income inequality within households. Secondary data from the Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurement Survey Household data (2019-20) was used. Multinomial Logistic Regression was applied to the data, and income inequality was calculated using the Gini coefficient. The population was divided into quartiles to measure income distribution. The research found that non-farm income raises income inequality, while farm income is an income equalizer among the population. The reason behind this is that a major portion of income or wealth is accessed by the upper society, with only a minor portion reaching the lower levels of the population. Specifically, the Gini coefficient for non-farm income was 0.65, indicating higher inequality, compared to 0.45 for farm income. In urban areas, non-farm income provides large opportunities, while rural areas predominantly depend on the farm sector. There is a need to raise awareness about the non-farm sector in rural sector. The study's policy implications include the following: In order to improve agricultural households' income and low-income disparity, non-farm income activities have to be promoted. The study also suggests that Inequalities within rural communities should be addressed as part of an equal development strategy, in addition to the rural-urban gap.

Coronary Artery Disease among Type-II Diabetic Patient in Bangladesh
Authors: Sarkar Debasish
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between microalbuminuria and the angiographic severity of CAD patients with type 2 diabetes by SYNTAX I, SYNTAX II, and Gensini scores. Diabetes mellitus is one of the strongest risk factors for coronary artery disease, so it is imperative to identify CAD in diabetic patients as soon as feasible. In this study, 82 patients with type II diabetes who had a suspected case of coronary artery disease (CAD) had elective coronary angiography. The urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) was measured for each patient, and the severity of each patient's CAD was assessed using the Gensini, SYNTAX, and SYNTAX II scores. In the studied population, there were 26 (31.7%) females and 56 (68.3%) males. On average, they were 56.29 + 9.18 years old. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their UACR level: group 1 consisted of 41 patients whose UACR was less than 30 mg/g, and group 2 consisted of 41 patients whose UACR was greater than or equal to 30 mg/g. The study found that patients in group 2 had significantly higher SYNTAX scores (P=0.001) and significantly higher Gensini scores (P=0.001) than patients in group 1. Age and the length of UACR and DM showed a positive correlation (p=0.003), as did hypertension (HTN) and the length of UACR and DM (p=0.049). Microalbuminuria can be used to predict the severity and presence of CAD in type II diabetes.

Keywords: Gensini score, SYNTAX score, microalbuminuria, diabetes, and coronary artery disease.
Melatonin as a Treatment Option for Bacterial Meningitis – A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Tanwar Priyanka , Naagar Mamta , Maity Manish Kumar
Published: September 2024

Bacterial meningitis (BM) is a global acute infectious central nervous system (CNS) illness that leaves 50% of survivors with long-term significant consequences. Acute bacterial meningitis is more common in low-resource areas than in high-resource areas. Bacterial survival and multiplication in the circulation, increased permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB), oxidative stress, and an overactive inflammatory response in the CNS are all involved in the pathogenesis of BM. Because drug-resistant bacteria make treatment for meningitis more difficult, the vaccination has been confined to a few serotypes, and the BM morbidity rate remains high. With recent advances in neurology, there is hope for medication supplements that can successfully prevent and cure BM. Several in vivo and in vitro researches have been conducted to better understand how melatonin affects BM. Melatonin is primarily produced in the pineal gland and has the ability to cross the BBB. Melatonin and its metabolite have been found to be efficient antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, suggesting that they might be used to prevent and treat BM. Melatonin can protect the brain against bacterial meningitis through a variety of mechanisms, including immunological response, antibacterial capabilities, BBB integrity protection, free radical scavenging, anti-inflammation, signalling pathways, and gut microbiota. This paper highlights melatonin's primary neuroprotective processes and investigates prospective preventative and therapy strategies for BM nerve damage.

RATIONALISM AND ENLIGHTENMENT’S SPIRIT: THE LEADING SPIRIT OF THE FRENCH ENLIGHTENMENT PHILOSOPHY IN THE 18TH CENTURY
Authors: Do Trang , Pham Khue Dinh
Published: September 2024

Permeating 18th-century French Enlightenment philosophy was a profound rationalist spirit and Enlightenment ideals. This intellectual movement emerged from efforts to disengage from organized religion and the church, asserting an unwavering faith in the boundless power of reason and scientific knowledge over the forces of theocracy and secular powers. This article delves into an analysis of the rationalist and Enlightenment elements within 18th-century French Enlightenment philosophy, aiming to claim its position as the prevailing spirit and the driving force of the Enlightenment-era. By examining these elements, we can draw both the values and limitations of this philosophical movement on the development of the history of human thought.
A oposição entre razão e imaginação na filosofia de Gaston Bachelard
Authors: Araújo David Velanes de
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o projeto de separação entre razão e imaginação formulado por Gaston Bachelard, com base nas principais obras em que ele expõe explicitamente esse empreendimento filosófico, a saber: Le matérialisme rationnel (1953), La poétique de l’espace (1957) e La poétique de la rêverie (1960). Para tanto, realizamos uma análise de suas argumentações acerca da distinção entre materialismo racional e materialismo imaginário, consciência racional e consciência imaginante, bem como imagem e conceito. Este trabalho não se propõe a defender a tese da complementaridade entre os domínios da razão e da imaginação, uma posição amplamente discutida por uma das vertentes dos estudos bachelardianos. Em vez disso, buscamos contribuir para o enriquecimento desse debate ao revisitar os argumentos do filósofo e destacar uma perspectiva diferente sobre a questão.
The poetics of space in an opera for children, in digital pills
Authors: Acioly Karen , Luz Cristina Rego Monteiro da
Published: September 2024

This article focuses on opera for children, taking a broad overview across time and space. The aim of the research is to identify what constitutes opera for children by embracing its dramaturgical, poetic, imagistic, and symbolic aspects. The chosen approach was sensitive listening to children, and alongside this, exploring important aspects of theory and practice. A case study was used as a framework for analysis — the creative process of the children's opera Bem no Meio, which served as the basis for the production of mini-documentaries in digital snippets. These mini-docs provide pedagogical support for raising awareness and educating students, parents, teachers, and new audiences. They were intended to generate a visual literature of opera for children, a genre that is still little disseminated and studied in Brazil. The research incorporated concepts from the phenomenology of the imagination, particularly those of Gaston Bachelard (2008).

Published: September 2024

A obesidade está ligada a importantes perturbações no metabolismo do ferro as quais parecem contribuir para o agravamento das comorbidades associadas ao excesso de tecido adiposo branco, incluindo a piora da homeostase glicêmica e lipídica favorecendo a instalação da Síndrome Metabólica (SM). Este estudo transversal investigou o hemograma e níveis de ferritina sérica (FS) em 79 adultos (20-59 anos) na região Sudoeste do Paraná. Foram avaliadas variáveis socioeconômicas, antropométricas, laboratoriais e hábitos de vida. O Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) indicou que 67,09% apresentavam excesso de peso, com elevada circunferência da cintura, pressão arterial sistólica, hiperglicemia, dislipidemia e resistência à insulina. Sujeitos com excesso de peso apresentaram maior frequência de SM (30,39%) e risco cardiovascular (54,43%). A análise hematológica mostrou que esses sujeitos apresentaram valores aumentados de hemoglobina, eritrócitos, hematócrito, leucócitos, plaquetas e FS, além de menor volume corpuscular médio e hemoglobina corpuscular média em comparação aos sem excesso de peso. Não houve diferença entre os grupos quanto aos parâmetros socioeconômicos. A análise de componentes principais revelou associações significativas entre elevação da FS, alteração no hemograma e piora das condições metabólicas em sujeitos com excesso de peso. Concluiu-se que o excesso de peso eleva a FS, condição acompanhada de anormalidades metabólicas com maior prevalência de SM, indicando que anormalidades na homeostase do ferro podem ser parte da fisiopatologia do excesso de peso e devem ser incorporadas à análise de saúde das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis.

Published: September 2024

Dance therapy, as a therapeutic method that integrates psychology and creative arts, which has attracted increasing attention from all walks of life. In order to help scholars from all over the world grasp the development context and trends of dance therapy research in China, this research analyzes the relevant literature on dance therapy in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) database, revealing the research trends of dance therapy theme in the past 30 years, which can give data support for related research and provide theoretical basis for scholars around all over the world, and promote international academic exchanges and cooperation. Through the knowledge graph analysis method, the high-frequency words and high centrality words of 402 literature were explored and analyzed, and the knowledge network graph of dance therapy was presented from five aspects. It was found that, the research of dance therapy topics has gradually evolved in three stages in the past 30 years in China. On the whole, early research mainly focused on the role of dance in rehabilitation treatment, and mainly focused on the treatment of elderly. In recent years, with the focus on dance therapy and in-depth practice, emerging research topics involve the treatment of ‘depression’, ‘anxiety’, ‘stroke’, etc., which more pay attention to students, autistic children, and other groups. It shows that, with the increasing in research and attention on the field of dance therapy in China, the research not only focuses on dance therapy, but also involves many related fields, such as psychotherapy and self-acceptance in different groups, which shows that keeps expanding the research's progress and application of dance therapy in China. However, it also reflects the problems of incomplete operation system and insufficient academic-industrial linkage in Chinese dance therapy. This study is expected to provide implications for the direction of development of Chinese dance therapy to scholars around the world, including Korea.

Published: September 2024

This study assessed the level of concentration of heavy metals and health risks in the consumption of waterleaf (Talinum triangulare) grown beside an automobile workshop in Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area (LGA). The triangular research method was adopted for sample collection. The fresh samples of waterleaf were collected at three designated points at an automobile workshop in Akwa Ibom State University located in Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin L.G.A. The samples were washed thoroughly using tap water to remove the dirt and other unwanted materials. The washed samples were put in polythene bags and taken to the laboratory for elemental analysis. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics (range, mean, and standard deviation) and one-way analysis of variance. The results obtained showed elevated levels of heavy metals and their average concentrations were as follows: Cadmium (7.30 mg/kg), Chromium (28.50 mg/kg), Lead (8.30 mg/kg), Zinc (140.30 mg/kg), Manganese (228.30 mg/kg), Nickel (36.10 mg/kg), Iron (784.20 mg/kg), and Calcium (15.70 mg/kg). The hazard identification index was 0.83 indicating potential health risks associated with the consumption of waterleaf contaminated with heavy m--etals. The results also showed that the proportion of heavy metals present in the waterleaf planted beside the automobile workshop exceeded World Health Organization Standards (WHO), thereby posing severe health risks when consumed. The sources of contamination and pathways through which heavy metals entered the soil include; diesel and fuel engine operation, abandoned cars, iron and scrap metals, grease and engine oil disposal, disposal of artificial wood, and the presence of a step-up transformer. Based on the results, an urgent need for remediation and health risk management strategies should be taken.

Authors: Boyko I. R. , Shnayder N. A. , Grechkina V. V. , Savelieva O. E.
Published: September 2024

The problem of psychopharmacotherapy safety is actively studied, but remains unresolved, despite the development of new generations of psychotropic drugs (PDs). Neurotoxic adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are one of the leading causes of pseudo-resistance of mental disorders and patient disability. The development of neurotoxic ADRs is genetically determined, and caused by a slowdown in the efflux of PDs from the brain into the blood through the blood-brain barrier. Of the three transport proteins involved in the efflux of PDs, the most clinically significant and studied is glycoprotein P, encoded by the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene. This transport protein is involved in the efflux of a large number of PDs used in real clinical practice of a psychiatrist. Objective: To study the frequency of the non-functional allele 3435T of the single-nucleotide variant rs1045642 of the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene in patients with mental disorders living in the Northwestern region of the Russia. Methods: The study included 71 Caucasians patients with mental disorders (34 male and37 female). Mean age of the study participants was 35.1±16 years). Real-time polymerase chain reaction used for pharmacogenetic testing. Results: The frequency of the nonfunctional homozygous genotype 3435TT (phenotype "poor transporter") was 19.7%, and the frequency of the low-functional heterozygous genotype 3435CT (phenotype "intermediate transporter") was 57.7%. The allelic frequency of T rs1045642 of the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene in Caucasians patients with mental disorders living in the Northwestern region of the Russia was 97.1%. Conclusions: The frequency the nonfunctional allele 3435T of the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene associated with a slowdown in PDs efflux through BBB in patients with mental disorders living in the Northwestern region of the Russia is high, which explains the need for a wider introduction of this method of personalized medicine into real psychiatric practice.

Published: September 2024

Since 2014, Ukraine has been actively defending its borders and sovereignty from the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. Since February 24, 2022, with the outbreak of a new wave of war, Ukraine has faced many new security and defense challenges related to the protection of national interests and freedom, as well as the rights of servicemen, military organization, command and control. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 60,000 women have been serving in Ukraine, 42,000 of them are military personnel. Therefore, raising issues such as equal rights and opportunities for women and men in the military is extremely relevant today. Deep-rooted stereotypes and prejudices about gender roles in society are one of the reasons for this inequality, which is not only a problem in Ukraine but also a global one.
Navigating the Depths: A Comprehensive study of Deep Learning and its Advancements in Medical Image Analysis
Authors: Venkata Sai Prasad Sunkara
Published: September 2024

Medical imaging is the technique of capturing images of internal organs for diagnostic purposes, contributing to the identification and study of diseases. The primary goal of medical image analysis is to enhance the effectiveness of clinical research and treatment options. Deep learning has revolutionized this field, demonstrating remarkable outcomes in tasks such as registration, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The increased availability of computational resources and the resurgence of deep convolutional neural networks are key drivers for these advancements. Deep learning techniques excel in uncovering concealed patterns within images, aiding clinicians in achieving precise diagnoses. They have proven to be particularly effective in organ segmentation, cancer detection, disease categorization, and computer-assisted diagnosis. Numerous deep learning approaches have been proposed for various diagnostic purposes in the analysis of medical images. A significant hurdle in integrating deep learning models into the medical domain is the scarcity of training data, primarily attributed to the challenges associated with collecting and accurately labelling data, a task requiring expertise. To address this limitation, transfer learning (TL) has emerged as a valuable strategy, leveraging pre-trained state-of-the-art models to tackle various medical imaging tasks. This comprehensive review highlights the methodologies, including preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification, and evaluates the performance of various DL models and also the recent advancements in the deep learning like transfer learning approaches in medical image processing.
Developing children's local food programs: One volunteer's perspective
Authors: O'Hara Jeffrey
Published: September 2024

While volunteers are widespread in U.S. local food systems, they have not been the focus of data collection or research. As a result, we have limited understanding of the perspectives and motivations of local food volunteers. In this reflective essay, I describe my insights from volunteering in Alexan­dria, Virginia. The two initiatives that I focus on were to establish a “Power of Produce” program at my local farmers market and an after-school culinary and gardening program at a private ele­mentary school. The former program I have been able to sustain for three years (as of this writing), whereas the latter program was discontinued after two eight-week sessions. In this essay, I describe my motivations in conceptualizing and organizing these programs. I also describe challenges I encoun­tered due to inexperience or capacity constraints as a volunteer. I conclude by discussing how additional research that examines the roles and motivations of volunteers could be valuable.

THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROMAGNETHIC FIELD
Authors: Sukiasyan H.S.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this work is to develop a mathematical model of two-dimensional electromagnetic field, i.e. to construct a system of axioms (assumptions) that we unconditionally accept, although they do not correspond to the real electromagnetic field, but approximate it quite well.
A mathematical model of two-dimensional electromagnetic field is constructed based on four assumptions:
1. Boundedness: we assume that on an infinite plane there is a bounded convex domain, outside which the field is zero.
2. Existence of nodes: we assume that in the domain there is a finite set of points, called nodes. All calculations of potential values are carried out only at internal nodes․
3. Existence of neighbors: we assume that all pairs of nodes are divided into two types: neighboring and non-neighboring, and only neighboring nodes interact.
4. Discretization: we assume that the magnetic permeability of the medium is discrete, i.e. is a piecewise constant function.
It is shown that within our mathematical model, from Assumptions 1 – 4, it follows that the electromagnetic potential is necessarily a piecewise linear function.
It is shown that within our mathematical model, minimization of the energy functional leads to a system of nonlinear equations, the number of equations is equal to the number of internal nodes.
It is proved that within our mathematical model, from Assumptions 1 – 4, it follows that for the numerical solution of the resulting system of equations, the optimal mesh is the Delaunay triangulation.
The results are illustrated by an example of numerical solution of a field problem for electromagnetic systems with magnetorheological fluid using the FEMM tool. It is shown that the FEMM application package corresponds to our model.

Background: Clinical placements may provide an appropriate setting for health professional students to learn and apply skills for supporting clients to improve their physical activity.

Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted with pre-professional health students completing clinical placement at one of two interprofessional community clinics. Surveys assessed student self-reported perceived skills, knowledge, and confidence for behaviour change and physical activity support pre- and post-placement (unmatched n=40). Interviews were conducted with students (n=18) and clinical educators (n=4). Change in student knowledge, skills, and confidence were assessed using non-parametric tests; qualitative data underwent inductive thematic analysis.

Results: Post-placement, unmatched participants perceived knowledge and understanding (p = 0.017), skills (p = 0.001), and confidence (p = 0.004) in behaviour change significantly increased. Perceived confidence in providing physical activity behavior change support for low-risk (p = 0.022) and complex conditions (p = 0.009) significantly improved. Qualitative data emphasised the importance of clinical educators and direct clinical experiences in preparing students for future practice.

Conclusion: Student-facilitated interprofessional clinical placements may be important for developing pre-professional knowledge, skills, and confidence in delivering behaviour change and physical activity support. Further exploration of clinical placement opportunities for strengthening pre-professional health students training in physical activity promotion and behaviour change is recommended.

Introduction: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 is part of a rare group of neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by lesions in the brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord, and retina, manifesting as motor disturbances associated with signs of pyramidal involvement and amaurosis. The dysfunction is caused by autosomal dominant genetic alterations, with disease severity and the age of symptom onset being directly linked to the patient’s genetic expression.

Case Report: We present the case of a 24-year-old woman, previously healthy, who denied smoking, drinking alcohol, or taking any other drugs. She reported that approximately nine months, she had experienced a decline in dexterity for tasks requiring fine motor skills. She also exhibited impaired gait, frequent falls, and difficulties in performing basic activities of daily living (ADLs). On neurological examination, she presented with an ataxic and staggering gait, tremor during movement, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, movement decomposition, dysarthria (scanning speech), dysphagia, dystasia, dysbasia, and nystagmus, all of which are indicative of cerebellar impairment. A genetic panel revealed the presence of 44 cytosine-adenine-guanine nucleotide repeat expansions on allele 2 of the ATXN7 gene, confirming the diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 7.

Conclusion: In this case report, the diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia was established through a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s clinical history, neurological examination, imaging studies, and genetic profiling, all of which are essential for reaching a definitive diagnosis. The prognosis for this disease varies due to ongoing research into its pathophysiology. Furthermore, discussions within the scientific community regarding potential cures for this condition continue

Well-being is important at school because schools have an essential role to play in supporting students to make healthy lifestyle choices and understand the effects of their choices on their health and well-being. Childhood and adolescence is a critical period in the development of long-term attitudes towards personal well-being and lifestyle choices. The social and emotional skills, knowledge and behaviours that young people learn in the classroom help them build resilience and set the pattern for how they will manage their physical and mental health throughout their lives. Schools are able to provide students with reliable information and deepen their understanding of the choices they face. They are also able to provide students with the intellectual skills required to reflect critically on these choices and on the influences that society brings to bear on them, including through peer pressure, advertising, social media and family and cultural values. There is a direct link between well-being and academic achievement and vice versa, i.e. well-being is a crucial prerequisite for achievement and achievement is essential for well-being. Physical activity is associated with improved learning and the ability to concentrate. Strong, supportive relationships provide students with the emotional resources to step out of their intellectual ‘comfort zone’ and explore new ideas and ways of thinking, which is fundamental to educational achievement.

Objective: to verify the incidence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms and the factors associated with the positivity of surveillance cultures in an Adult Intensive Care Unit. Methods: retrospective analytical cross-sectional study, carried out in the Adult Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital in a capital in the Brazilian center-west between January and December 2018. Results: a study included 231 patients, with 84 (36.36%) monitored by admission surveillance cultures. Of these, 64.28% were not colonized by multidrug-resistant microorganisms. The incidence of positivity for multidrug-resistant microorganisms was 35.70%, with Klebsiella pneumoniae producing carbapenemase (KPC) being the most prevalent phenotypic profile, accounting for 26.60%. Factors associated with positive admission surveillance cultures included intubated or tracheostomized patients (p=0.0182; OR=4.2373; 95% CI) and patients who had been hospitalized in another healthcare facility for more than five days (p=0.0397). Conclusion: detecting patients colonized by multidrug-resistant microorganisms can contribute to the adoption and reinforcement of good practices aimed at preventing infections and patient safety
