Objetivo: analisar os fatores associados a Síndrome Hipertensiva da Gestação. Método: estudo transversal, observacional, do qual participaram 314 gestantes, realizado em um município do interior do Paraná. As variáveis foram agrupadas em níveis de maneira hierarquizada. O nível distal contemplou variáveis de caráter biológico; intermediário as características sociodemográficas e de estilo de vida; proximal as variáveis da assistência pré-natal. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística múltipla. Resultados: os fatores associados foram: obesidade e a doença crônica não transmissível, no nível distal; cuidados com a alimentação e recebimento de benefício social apresentaram associação no nível intermediário; no nível proximal, consulta com especialista, acompanhamento nutricional e obesidade gestacional. Doença crônica não transmissível, cuidados com a alimentação e acompanhamento nutricional demonstraram-se  fatores protecionais. Conclusão: os fatores associados à SHG são amplos e abarcam aspectos que devem ser considerados não somente na assistência pré-natal, mas no cuidado à saúde da mulher em idade fértil.

Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the therapeutic outcome and factors associated with treatment failure in laboratory confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods: He acted in a descriptive and analytical study referred to prospective data collection. The study population consisted of laboratory confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the health zone Parakou-N'Dali from 2011 to 2015. Results: A total of 313 TB patients were enrolled. The average age of patients was 37.4 ± 14.3 years. The sex ratio was 2.1. Two hundred sixtyfive (265) patients were cured, a cure rate of 84.66%; 5 patients had completed treatment. Therapeutic success was observed in 270 patients (86.26%); the rate of treatment failure was 2.24%. Twenty-nine (29) patients died (9.26%); 6 patients were lost to follow and only 1 was transferred. Factors associated with treatment failure were the BMI screening to the lower than 18.5 kg/m2 (p = 0.000) and hospitalization (p = 0.002).Conclusion: The therapeutic outcome of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the health zone Parakou-N'Dali was characterized by a low rate process complete, lost sight and transfers.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Pancreatic duct stents are widely used to reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD); however, small stents may cause adverse effects, such as occlusion. Recently, we have tried placing a 7.5-Fr pancreatic duct stent to achieve more effective exocrine output from the pancreas; however, the association between pancreatic duct stent size and POPF remains unknown. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sixty-five patients with soft pancreatic texture who underwent PD were retrospectively analyzed. After dividing the pancreas, a pancreatic duct stent (stent size 4.0 in 29 patients, 5.0 in 18, and 7.5 Fr in 18) was placed in the main pancreatic duct. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Twenty-five of 65 patients with soft pancreatic texture (38.5%) developed POPF. POPF became less frequent as the pancreatic duct stent size increased (<i>p</i> = 0.003). The factors associated with POPF development were a 7.5-Fr pancreatic duct stent (<i>p</i> = 0.005), 5.0-Fr pancreatic duct stent (<i>p</i> = 0.031), and male sex (<i>p</i> = 0.008). Pancreatic duct stent size and pancreatic duct diameter did not differ between the POPF and non-POPF groups. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusions:</i></b> In patients with a soft pancreas, the placement of a 7.5-Fr pancreatic duct stent may reduce the incidence of POPF.

Contrast Information

Many factors (e.g., resolution of microscope, type of tissue, and preparation of sample) affect electron microscopical images and alter the amount of information that can be retrieved from a specimen. Of interest in this report are those factors associated with the evaluation of epoxy embedded tissues. In this context, informational retrieval is dependant, in part, on the ability to “see” sample detail (e.g., contrast) and, in part, on tue quality of sample preservation. Two aspects of this problem will be discussed: 1) epoxy resins and their effect on image contrast, information retrieval, and sample preservation; and 2) the interaction between some stains commonly used for enhancing contrast and information retrieval.
