Knowledge about the risk of sun exposure and skin neoplasms
Cutaneous neoplasms are the most prevalent type of cancer in the world and are closely related to sun exposure as a risk factor for their development. Non-melanoma types (basal cell and squamous cell) are the most prevalent and melanoma, although less common, is a very aggressive neoplasm with a poor prognosis. The agricultural population, due to occupational photoexposure, and the light-skinned population, represent a group that is more prone to the genesis of this cancer. Rio Grande do Sul is the Brazilian state with the highest incidence of melanoma and cutaneous neoplasms, as well as having a significant proportion of people of European descent (fair skin), living in rural areas and working in agriculture. Knowledge of risk factors is of the utmost importance for their prevention and campaigns aimed at guiding and educating the population about these factors and their protection play an important social and epidemiological role in this context, as well as providing early diagnosis for the appropriate treatment of skin lesions.

Evaluation of tuberculosis care in Koro
In 2020, 6922 cases of tuberculosis were notified in Mali. Despite efforts tuberculosis remains a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa Objective to evaluate tuberculosis management in Koro according to national guidelines in Mali.Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of tuberculosis management in 2019,2020 and 2021. It focused on the evaluation of resources, process of results with national standards. Data were collected using a data collection form and questionnaires sent to health care providers, an evaluation of the management system, and an exhaustive sampling of tuberculosis patient files managed during the study period.Results: We noted a decrease in qualified personnel, an inadequacy in the implementation of tuberculosis control activities, and recorded 172 patient files managed. The average age was 40.33. Men accounted for 74.4%. New cases accounted for 92%; the pulmonary form was 95%. Cured 77%, deceased 14%.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Deep Learning Algorithms
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive and irreversible respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation. It encompasses two main conditions: chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is often associated with exposure to harmful inhaled substances, with cigarette smoke being the leading cause.COPD is a complex respiratory condition with profound implications for affected individuals and global healthcare systems. A holistic approach involving prevention, accurate diagnosis, and comprehensive management strategies is essential to mitigate the impact of COPD on individuals' lives and improve overall outcomes.
Biodegradable Microspheres
The goal of any drug delivery system is to administer a therapeutic amount of a drug to the appropriate site in the body and achieve as well as maintain the desired plasma concentration for a specific duration. However, challenges such as incomplete drug release, shorter residence times of dosage forms in the upper gastrointestinal tract, and significant first-pass metabolism contribute to lower oral bioavailability. Parenteral drug delivery offers rapid attainment of therapeutically effective drug levels, but it comes with the drawback of a rapid decline in systemic drug levels or potential hazards associated with intravenous infusion, requiring close medical supervision, especially during hospitalization.These limitations inherent in conventional dosage forms have paved the way for an era of controlled and novel drug delivery systems. Specifically designed to release drugs at predetermined rates over predefined periods, controlled drug delivery systems aim to address the shortcomings of traditional drug formulations.Within the realm of microparticulate systems, microspheres hold special importance due to their ability to target drugs and provide controlled release.
Biochemical and proteomic profile of SGA newborns
Barker's hypothesis of fetal programming for chronic non-communicable diseases proposes that an adverse environmental stimulus such as nutrient or oxygen restriction during a critical period of fetal development induces structural and functional effects in the developing organism, optimizing the growth of key organs such as the brain, at the expense of other organs such as the beta islets of the pancreas. In anticipation of an extra-uterine environment with low calorie intake, the fetus makes adaptive changes that lead to metabolic alterations aimed at guaranteeing a better chance of survival. Despite the considerable amount of evidence accumulated on this "intrauterine programming", the mechanisms determining this programming are still not completely clear. Considering its morbidity and mortality worldwide, the search for knowledge that can lead to earlier identification of patients at risk could lead to the promotion of significant changes, not only in improving the health conditions of these individuals and future generations, but also in reducing the costs of the Health System.
Paul and Asklepios
What role did offers of physical healing (or the hope of receiving it) play in the missionary program of the apostle Paul? What did he do to treat the many illnesses and injuries that he endured while pursuing his mission? What did he advise his followers to do regarding their health problems? Such questions have been broadly neglected in studies of Paul and his churches, but Christopher D. Stanley shows how vital they truly become once we recognize how thoroughly "pagan" religion was implicated in all aspects of Greco-Roman health care. What did Paul approve, and what did he reject? Given Paul's silence on these subjects, Stanley relies on a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach to develop informed judgments about what Paul might have thought, said, and done with regard to his own and his followers' health care. He begins by exploring the nature and extent of sickness in the Roman world and the four overlapping health care systems that were available to Paul and his followers: home remedies, "magical" treatments, religious healing, and medical care. He then examines how Judeans and Christians in the centuries before and after Paul viewed and engaged with these systems. Finally, he speculates on what kinds of treatments Paul might have approved or rejected and whether he might have used promises of healing to attract people to his movement. The result is a thorough and nuanced analysis of a vital dimension of Greco-Roman social life and Paul's place within it.
Educational Work in the Reduction of Adolescent Pregnancy
The training process for specialists in General Comprehensive Medicine (MGI) includes aspects related to adolescent pregnancy in their curriculum. In spite of the above, it has been shown that the knowledge they receive in this module is not sufficient for this professional to have a greater impact on community education and to achieve adequate modes of action for the family and the adolescent herself; furthermore, there are incongruities between the theoretical elements of the study curriculum and the practical reality faced in the field. The above leads us to the elaboration of a methodological alternative containing motivating, suggestive and flexible actions that favor the preparation of specialists and thus reduce teenage pregnancy, an aspect with a significant social connotation.
Imaging primary malignant bone tumors
Diagnosis of a primary malignant bone tumour is based on clinical and radiological findings, with biopsy providing a definitive diagnosis. The two main malignant bone tumors are osteosarcoma in children and chondrosarcoma in adults. Radiographic signs may immediately be highly suggestive of malignancy. MRI is the second-line examination for assessing locoregional extension within the bone and adjacent soft tissues, detecting skip metastases and determining the most appropriate area for biopsy. Because of its radiation-intense nature, CT scans are increasingly being replaced by MRI.This pedagogical and didactic book provides a radiological description of the various malignant tumors, richly illustrated with numerous demonstrative diagrams. The book is intended for radiology interns and practicing physicians.
Activity of Nonspecific Defense Factors in Covid-1 Reconvalescents
Mucosal immunity, including secretory IgA (sIgA), plays an important role in early defense against respiratory pathogens. Saliva analysis, the most convenient way to measure sIgA, is used to characterize the mucosal immune response to many viral infections including SARS, MERS, influenza, HIV, and RSV. The study determined that mucosal immunity, including secretory IgA, plays an important role in host defense against respiratory pathogens, and their data suggest that this may occur in COVID-19. This monograph presents the results of a study of lysozyme activity and sIgA concentrations in Covid-19 patients. The monograph is prepared for laboratory physicians, general practitioners, students and masters of medical universities.

The impact of the Ebola epidemic on HIV PMTCT
The N'Z矇r矇kor矇 region has 6 health districts with a total population of 1,696,807 in 2015 [1]. HIV prevalence is 1.6% in Guinea, with 120,000 people including 65,000 women [2]. In Guinea during the Ebola virus disease epidemic, the N'Z矇r矇kor矇 region was the most affected, leading to dysfunctional health services. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the Ebola epidemic on HIV PMTCT. It covered a 4-year period and focused on HIV-positive pregnant women and their children in 19 health centers. We found a prevalence rate of 0.88% and an acceptance rate of 44.03%. Housewives accounted for 64%. The ARV treatment completion rate fell from 54.95% to 23.23%. The number of patients lost to follow-up increased during the Ebola epidemic. However, the rate of assisted deliveries fell from 94.87% to 69.17% p = 8.126e-06. Similarly, the number of children protected fell from 50.55% to 16.67%. HIV PMTCT has been negatively impacted, as evidenced by a drop in the number of assisted deliveries, an increase in the number of lost to follow-up, break-ups, etc., and a decrease in the number of children protected.
Medicine and Healing Practices in Ancient Egypt
Medicine and Healing Practices in Ancient Egypt provides a new perspective on healthcare and healing treatments in Egypt from the Predynastic to the Roman periods. Rather than concentrating exclusively on diseases and medical conditions as evidenced in ancient sources, it provides a 'people-focused' perspective, asking what it was like to be ill or disabled in this society? Who were the healers? To what extent did disease occurrence and treatment reflect individual social status?As well as geographical, environmental and dietary factors, which undoubtedly affected general health, some groups were prone to specific hazards. These are discussed in detail, including soldiers' experience of trauma, wounds and exposure to epidemics; and conditions - blindness, sand pneumoconiosis, trauma and limb amputations - resulting from working conditions at building and other sites.Methods of diagnosis and treatment were derived from special concepts about disease and medical ethics. These are explored, as well as the individual contributions and professional interactions of various groups of healers and carers. Medical training and practice occurred in various locations, including temples and battlefields; these are described, as well as the treatments and equipment that were available.Ancient writers generally praised the Egyptian healers' knowledge, expertise, and professional relationship with their patients. A brief comparison is drawn between this approach and those prevailing elsewhere in Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome. Finally, Egypt's legacy, transmitted through Greek, Roman and Arabic sources, is confirmed as the source of some principles and practices still found in modern 'Western' medicine.Combining information from the latest studies on human remains and the authors' biomedical research, this book brings the subject up to date, enabling a wide readership to access often scattered information in a fascinating synthesis.
Geriatric Medicine
This book is a holistic approach to geriatric medicine, taking into account all aspects of ageing. It takes into account not just the treatment of long-term illnesses but also the maintenance of mental clarity, the encouragement of physical health, and the upholding of psychological and emotional health. It covers an abundance of information and helpful advice on a wide range of subjects in the pages that follow, including thorough geriatric assessments, managing geriatric syndromes, older adults' mental health, nutritional considerations, pharmacotherapy, rehabilitation, palliative care, and much more. Strong emphasis is given on a person-centered approach that recognizes the uniqueness of every older adult. This is not a book intended solely for medical practitioners but for ones who have started the adventure of ageing and those who have been there for them at every turn.
Childhood Glaucoma
Child hood is the topic of the ninth World Glaucoma Association Consensus. There has been only sparse attention to the diagnosis and treatment of childhood glaucoma. Both pediatric ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists provide care for such children. In some instances, they manage these individuals alone and, in others, the management is shared. For this consensus, the participation of both groups was solicited. The global faculty, consisting of leading authorities on the clinical and scientific aspects of childhood glaucoma, met in Vancouver on July 16, 2013, just prior to the World Glaucoma Congress, to discuss the reports and refine the consensus statements.As with prior meetings, it was a daunting task to seek and obtain consensus on such a complicated and nuanced subject. It is unclear how each of us decides how we practice, and evidence to guide us often is sparse. It is remarkable how few high level studies have been conducted on the management of childhood glaucoma. Hence, this consensus, as with the others, is based not only on the published literature, but also on expert opinion. Although consensus does not replace and is not a surrogate for scientific investigation, it does provide considerable value, especially when the desired evidence is lacking.The goal of this consensus was to provide a foundation for diagnosing and treating childhood glaucoma and how it can be best done in clinical practice. Identification of those areas for which we have little evidence and, therefore, the need for additional research also was a high priority. We hope that this consensus report will serve as a benchmark of our understanding. However, this consensus report, as with each of the others, is intended to be just a beginning. It is expected that it will be revised and improved with the emergence of new evidence.
Pediatric Accidents
A pre-experimental before and after study was carried out with the aim of proposing an educational strategy to reduce accidents in children up to fourteen years of age in the Florencia Health Area. The universe consisted of 180 families with patients up to fourteen years of age and the sample consisted of 54 families. The charge sheets of the statistics department and the survey of patients' relatives were used as information supporting the need for the intervention. A database was created using Excel software. The data were collected and determined according to the classification of the variables, processed with the help of the SSPS program for Windows and distributed according to their frequencies. As a measure of mathematical-statistical analysis of the information, the percentage calculation and the arithmetic mean were used. The results were presented in tables. The epidemiological behavior of the accident victims in the study is mediated by the rurality of the environment. Family members attained more solid and deeper knowledge about accidents after the educational intervention.
Effect of Micronutrients & Biofertilizers on Growth & Yield of Tomato
Recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers (150:100:50 NPK kg/ha) of control treatment could not perform well in increasing growth, yield and quality of tomato. Among the different micronutrients and biofertilizer used in various treatments, overall performance of treatment T8 (RDF + 0.3% FeSO4 + B + ZnSO4 (0.1 % each) + Azotobacter + PSB) was superior. This is because of that micronutrients viz., Fe, B and Zn play active role in plant metabolic processes involving cell wall development, respiration, photosynthesis, pollen tube growth and pollen germination and biofertilizers viz., Azotobacter and PSB increases the uptake of nutrients which in turn results in excellent vegetative and reproductive growth, ultimately increases the yield and quality. Thus, it is concluded that the use of micronutrients and biofertilizers in combination sustained the productivity of tomato.
Knowledge and Practice in Indigenous Health, Education and Culture
The life of the Indian. The fighting Indian always has a story to tell. Things about his life that he can't deny. Life is suffering, and I need to recover. I fight for my land, because it belongs to me. She's my mother, and she makes a lot of people happy. She gives us everything, if we plant the seed. My struggle is great, I don't know when it will end. I don't give up on my dreams, and I know when I'll find them. The happiness of a people who live to dream. Being Indian isn't easy, but they have to understand. That we are warrior Indians. And we fight to win. We have to seek peace and see our people grow. I'm proud to be Indian, and I have culture to show for it. I fight for my ideals, and I'll never give up. I am Patax籀 H瓊h瓊h瓊e, And I have a lot to expand. Edmar Batista de Souza (Itoh瓊 Patax籀).
Weaving the bond Coping strategies
Adolescents affected by osteosarcoma and amputated can tell us stories of struggle, overcoming, patience and courage in search of a cure. Adolescents who are victims of amputation weave links with the intra-family network and with friends, school and the health team, with spirituality, sport and leisure as a coping strategy. Analysing this weaving contributes to fostering relationships of affection and trust between the adolescent, their family and their social network. This coping strategy has the potential to promote health by strengthening autonomy and contributing to individualised nursing care. This book is aimed at health professionals who deal with adolescent cancer patients, with a view to reflecting on early diagnosis and the importance of stimulating their bonds.
Ethics in Surgery
This BOOK, written in a very personal context, portrays part of my experience of nearly 40 years as a doctor and general surgeon, seen in the light of what informed consent (also called free and informed consent) is in the day-to-day life of a surgeon who practises the doctor-patient relationship with the will, to inform the Patient (in an environment of mutual trust) of the reasons why they need to undergo a Surgical Procedure and the risks (and the care they should take) arising from not accepting the surgical proposal. A set of 13 (thirteen) of the most common surgical procedures is presented, with a description of the underlying diagnosis, the most successful surgical techniques and the existence (or not) of apparent alternatives for each pathology with an indication for surgery. Surgeon, Patient, Healthcare Team and Family should form a United Group with the same goal of improving the Patient's Health. Artur Ramon de La Feria.
Foundations of Operating Department Practice
A breakthrough text in its first edition, this theory textbook is returning in its second edition. Publish for ODP students studying at degree level, the text maps neatly onto the ODP degree curriculum. Written by experts from the ODP profession the book covers the core theoretical and professional components of the ODP curriculum, including chapters on: -Professionalism-Law-Ethics-Reflective practice-Decision making-Psychosocial aspects of care-Research and evidence-based practiceThe second edition returns to provides a much-needed update to this specific introduction to the theoretical subjects identified within the current pre-registration qualification, aiming to highlight the importance of these key areas that are at the foundations of practice. Many ODP students and ODP clinicians currently struggle to link abstract theories (e.g. interprofessional care, research, sociological theories, and psychosocial care) directly to their practice and professional role within the context of Operating Department Practice. The work will also seek to encompass the lessons learnt from the pandemic, and how best these can be incorporated broadly to enhance the text around teamwork, leadership; wellbeing; communication; research, audit and implementation; roles and responsibilities; as well as legal and ethical aspects.
Prognostic value of large cell histology in lung cancer
An analysis of a series of 1450 patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma treated at a single institution. Large cell histology was compared with the other classic histologies, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and unspecified carcinoma. This series constitutes an important "real world" sample and all external slides were systematically reviewed as part of the routine care recommended at the center where this cohort of patients was treated.
Hippocrates, Plato and today’s doctor
Imagine yourself transported with me to the 4th century BC, visiting Hippocrates at his medical school on the island of Kos. There we learn how to balance food and physical and mental activity in an individualised lifestyle in order to prevent illness, as well as when it becomes necessary to use medicines and treatments. We have seen that in Kos, in a way that is unprecedented in history, religious charms and rites give way to an empirically-based medicine, based on philosophical and proto-scientific foundations. In addition to these foundations, this book emphasises the relevance of the Hippocratic doctor's human and professional attitude, based on specific ethics and rhetoric when dealing with patients, their souls and their suffering. A few decades later, Plato describes the ideal doctor inspired by Hippocrates, who dialogues and wins the patient's trust with his art, speaks in a timely manner about diagnosis and prognosis and is always reassuring. Nothing could be more timely for our times, when technology and protocol overshadow care for the patient. Even today, patients can benefit from the revalorisation of ancient concepts presented in this book, such as tekn矇, philanthropy, kair籀s, isomoiria, dietai, pharmakon.
The forearm in obstetric paralysis
Brachial plexus lesions in newborns were first described in the publications by Duchenne (1872) and Erb (1874). Various factors are involved in their etiopathogenesis and different levels of severity can be detected in these injuries. It is known that the majority of cases recover spontaneously, but a significant percentage will have significant aesthetic and functional sequelae as the child grows. One of the conditions that arises as a result of this injury is supination deformity, which leads to limitations in activities such as dressing, eating or drinking water. Aimed at surgeons and rehabilitation professionals, this book provides an overview of the evolution of this deformity and encourages the reader to think about forms of prevention and treatment. We hope that this book will help to enrich your knowledge and serve as a guide for treating patients.
Perinatal Fluoxetine-induced Neurofunctional Changes
There is a considerable risk of developing depression during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pharmacological treatment of depression in pregnant women is advised in several cases, and the drugs of choice are serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine. Considering that serotonin modulates various processes during the development of the organism, the potential effects of perinatal exposure to SSRIs on neurodevelopment are being investigated. In rats, exposure to fluoxetine during the perinatal period (pregnancy and lactation) decreased decision-making capacity, but did not induce anhedonia, in adolescent males and females. In response to a stressor, there was no difference in corticosterone secretion, but adolescent males had reduced activation of the basolateral amygdala, and in adulthood this reduction occurred in the medial amygdala. This study indicates that perinatal fluoxetine exposure induces neurofunctional alterations that may be dependent on gender and age, highlighting the importance of the perinatal environment as a determinant of neurofunctional alterations that continue into adulthood.
Use of the hernia sac in inguinal hernia surgery
Inguinal hernias represent a challenge for general surgeons, mainly due to their high rate of recurrence and surgical complications. Various techniques and prostheses have been created since the 19th century with Bassini in Italy. This study shows the surgical technique of using the hernia sac as a wall reinforcement in indirect inguinal hernias. The peritoneal tissue removed at the time of surgery has great resistance and local fibrosis with a very low recurrence rate and no rejection due to the fact that it is the patient's own tissue. It is worth using the hernia sac to reinforce the wall of indirect inguinal hernias.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Some Types of Cancers
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn't. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue. Tumors can be cancerous or not cancerous (benign). Cancerous tumors spread into, or invade, nearby tissues and can travel to distant places in the body to form new tumors (a process called metastasis). Cancerous tumors may also be called malignant tumors. Many cancers form solid tumors, but cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, generally do not. Benign tumors do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. When removed, benign tumors usually don't grow back, whereas cancerous tumors sometimes do. Benign tumors can sometimes be quite large, however.
Vertigo
To understand the pathophysiology or the problem of dizziness is to understand the brain and its nerve connections. The word itself carries with it confusion. The sensations in general are difficult to describe, so a comparison is made to the situation that brings one. Commonly called seasickness that of falling down a hole or that of being in a boat, etymologically comes from the word tide and is the sensation of the traveler in a boat and vertigo (From lat. vertigo, -ĭnis, circular motion. Sensation of loss of balance of the gyratory type (in fact the word vertigo comes from "vertere" gyration) or instability with anteroposterior swaying. There is another term also called kinetosis, however medically it is known as VERTIGO.
Coping in Older Adults
Coping means confronting one situation face to face with another, and the way of doing so throughout life, particularly in conflictive or problematic situations, is known as coping strategies. These strategies depend on multiple situations, ranging from the personality of the individual, his or her educational level, the context in which such situations arise and the level of stress they may generate. The way of handling "risky" situations is very important given the impact and consequences that a poorly managed problem can have on physical, mental, social, family and occupational health. Specifically in the elderly, it is of great relevance since a proper management will allow a better quality of life and achieve the ultimate goal proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is to achieve successful aging. Therefore, in the book we will address basic concepts of coping, coping in the elderly and present the results of research conducted by the authors, as full time Research Professors of the Faculty of Nursing at the Autonomous University of Coahuila, Torreon Unit.
GNR soldiers as victims of crime
The GNR is a public body, at the service of the Portuguese people, and is characterized as a "security force of a military nature", normally reporting to the member of the Government responsible for the area of internal administration (MAI). In its organic law (LOGNR)2 the GNR is defined as follows: "The National Republican Guard, hereinafter referred to as the Guard, is a security force of a military nature, made up of military personnel organized into a special body of troops and endowed with administrative autonomy.The Guard's mission, within the scope of national security and protection systems, is to ensure democratic legality, guarantee internal security and citizens' rights, as well as collaborate in the implementation of national defense policy, under the terms of the Constitution and the law."

Treatment of degenerative chondropatia of the knee
A descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the treatment of degenerative chondropathy of the knee with the microfracture arthroscopic technique. The universe consisted of all patients who attended the orthopedics and traumatology service of the Central Military Hospital Dr. Carlos J Finlay in the period between September 2015 and September 2018. The sample consisted of 25 patients with arthroscopic diagnosis of degenerative chondropathy of the knee, treated with the microfracture arthroscopic technique. The variables used were: age, sex, affected knee, degree of cartilage lesion according to the Outerbridge classification, complications related to the surgical technique, time of appearance of the neoformed fibrocartilage.

The book is aimed at those who desire knowledge of inguinal hernias and wish to propose a safe and effective operative technique for their patients. Reflecting the author's passion for "herniology", the book will certainly provide the reader with all the knowledge necessary to apply the latest knowledge to their patients.
Workers’ Health as a Component of Primary Care
As the centrality of work in people's lives and its importance in the processes of health and illness are recognised, struggles for decent working conditions and greater access to workers' health care are growing. In Brazil, since the creation of the Unified Health System in 1990, workers' health care has been the focus of a specific public policy and must be integrated into primary care services. Primary care stands out for being the main gateway to the public health system and the coordinator of care. The general aim of this study is to analyse the available studies on workers' health care in primary care in Brazil. This is because users' working conditions interfere not only with their own process of being healthy, but can also influence the health of all those who live with them.
Innovative technique to disarticulate the human skull
A technique for the disarticulation of skull bones for academic, didactic and research purposes is described. This technique consists of the introduction of dry or dehydrated seeds in the different cranial cavities, followed by their immersion in a container with water. This causes the hydration of the seeds, increasing their volume and generating an increase in pressure inside the cranial cavities, which leads to their subsequent disarticulation.Through this process, all the bones that make up the neurocranium, the chondrocranium and the vicerocranium are obtained. By separating the bones in this way, all the anatomical details are preserved, including their three-dimensionality and their characteristic anatomical elements. This enhances the learning possibilities by preserving every detail of the anatomical pieces, as well as the research and extension processes, since it provides the opportunity to create exhibitions with the pieces obtained.
Assessing the quality of prenatal care
Maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) is currently a major concern and a priority on the agenda of all the world's governments, including that of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).With over half a million maternal deaths worldwide each year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, maternal mortality remains a worrying public health issue in developing countries. The high maternal mortality ratio is associated with a generalized HIV/AIDS epidemic.The death of a child is a real problem for future parents, and the disappearance of a newborn immediately after birth, or in the days that follow, leaves parents disappointed in a new role with new tasks and skills, and plunges the family into a process of mourning.
Socio-spatial Inequalities and Tuberculosis
The various characteristics and dimensions of poverty need to be analysed in research into the health conditions of individuals and groups in situations of social vulnerability. In fact, public policies aimed at combating poverty and reducing inequalities in health also need to consider the territory as a fundamental element in identifying inequalities. From this perspective, understanding the effect of socio-spatial segregation on the morbidity and mortality status of certain populations plays a fundamental role in studies on social determinants and their influence on living conditions.

ADHD and Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery has shown effective and well-established results in the fight against the obesity pandemic. However, there are still few studies evaluating prognostic factors in the success of surgical treatment for obesity. Recently, studies have described that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is directly related to obesity and the greater difficulty in losing weight with clinical treatment. This study aims to begin analyzing the possible negative effects of ADHD on the success of bariatric surgery.
Quality of life of children with epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease that affects millions of people around the world and significantly affects the quality of life of both sufferers and their families. To a large extent, beliefs, stigmatisation and prejudice against epilepsy are responsible for these disturbances, because in addition to the need to control seizures, there are also psychological and social factors that affect the lives of those who have to live with the disease. *** This work was developed in partnership with the following authors: Carlos Alberto do Amaral Medeiros, Carlos Frederico de Almeida Rodrigues, Master's Degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Specialist in Neurosurgery from the Souza Aguiar Municipal Hospital (HMSA), Specialist in Paediatric Neurosurgery from the Fernandes Figueira Institute (IFF) and Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Bioethics at the State University of Western Paran獺.

Pregnancy Care Extension Programme (ProGest)
Rubem Alves once said that the birth of thought is like the birth of a child: it all begins with an act of love. It is with this in mind that we present this book, the fruit of many hands, many sleepless nights and a lot of planning. This book was conceived on the occasion of the first year of operation of ProGest - the Pregnancy Care Extension Programme, no longer as an extension project, but as an Extension Programme! In the next few lines, dear reader, you will be invited to explore the origins of Extension in Brazil, through its consolidation at our Federal University of Cariri (UFCA), located in the interior of the state of Cear獺, Brazil, and ending with the creation of the Programme! We have prepared, in accessible and cohesive language, a compilation of our activities based on the most refined state of the art in Gynaecology and Obstetrics, hoping to be useful to those who leaf through these pages.In any case, enjoy your reading and may it be as pleasurable as it was to make.

Superficial bladder tumors
Non-muscle-invasive bladder tumours (NMIBTs) are tumours with an unpredictable course. Endoscopic and histological prognostic factors have been identified, but remain insufficient, leading us to propose new molecular prognostic factors. 40 TVNIM were collected over a 6-year period (2008-2013), and immunohistochemical studies were carried out on E-cadherin, an intercellular adhesion molecule, and β-cathenin, a molecule associated with E-cadherin. An inverse correlation between E-cadherin on the one hand, and stage (p=0.001), grade (p=0.0000000), recurrence (p=0.0000000), progression (p=0.01), SSR (p=0.00000001) and PFS (p=0.01) on the other, was detected. There was also a correlation between beta-cathenin and stage (p=0.05), grade (p=0.02) and recurrence (p=0.02).The negativity of these two antibodies would make it possible to "screen" high-risk NMVTs, which could benefit from closer monitoring and/or more aggressive treatment.
Mycotoxicosis of Fungus of Paddy Straw in Rats
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the toxicity of fungal contaminated paddy straw in rats causing nervous disorders in goats. Repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study was conducted in 16 groups consisting of 6 rats of either sex. The fungal culture filtrates of the three isolated fungi C. cladosporoides, P. chartarum and A. niger was administered to induce the toxicity in rats in the dose range of 0.5, 1, 2 ml/ 100 g. Two groups consisting of 6 rats were administered with mixed proportion of all the three isolated fungi C. cladosporoides, P. chartarum and A. niger. During the study period, animals were observed for clinical signs of toxicity. Body weight was measured and blood samples were collected on day 0, 14 and 28 of the study. Biochemical parameters like ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine, and haematological parameters like TLC, TEC, PCV and Hb were analysed. The fungal infected wheat material was analyzed for the presence mycotoxins by LC-MS/MS method.
