A review of the data from a trial sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control to evaluate the effectiveness of rifampin for the prevention of secondary cases of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b disease and the recognition of failure of rifampin prophylaxis in some day care centers and families prompted the changed recommendations listed below. An increased risk of invasive H influenzae type b disease in household contacts, particularly in those less than 49 months of age had been demonstrated. Although nursery school and day care center contacts may also be at increased risk of secondary disease, the magnitude of this is uncertain at this time. Preliminary data from ongoing studies suggest that the risk of secondary disease among nursery school contacts may vary widely between centers. Asymptomatic colonization with H influenzae type b is frequent in household contacts of all ages. Rifampin, 20 mg/kg (600 mg maximum dose) given once daily for four days, eradicates H influenzae type b in approximately 95% of carriers. In the trial conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, household and day care center contacts were randomized to receive rifampin prophylaxis or placebo. There was a significant diminution in secondary cases among rifampin recipients if the treated household and day care centers were combined. Four secondary cases occurred among the 800 placebo-treated contacts in contrast to no cases among the 1,166 rifampin-treated contacts (P = .03). Analysis of attack rates among children less than 48 months of age showed a trend toward efficacy in household contacts (3/131 placebo recipients V 0/162 rifampin recipients, P = .08).

Education in Brazil have expanded the debate concerning the quality offered, as well as being a constitutional guarantee, there are the State's efforts in the allocation of financial resources annually. In the case of Basic Education was created in 2007 the Direct Money in School Program (DMSP) that the Union transfers financial assistance to state and local public schools, and encourage widespread participation in resource management. Thus, the study’s objective was to investigate how civil society involved in the management of public resources of TSA, in a descriptive research with a quantitative and qualitative approach. The data collection was a documentary research: 29 accounts rendered digitized Direct Money in School Program (DMSP) from schools and day care centers located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro for the year 2012. Consolidating research, we sought to understand the perception of the Director of School / Day Care and President of the Community Council-School on the subject employing a questionnaire. In addition to the Audit Services scanned the TSA was checked for evidence of compliance with the principle of accountability and encouraging the social control in the electronic media. The results show the need to improve the participation of civil society, given that this study found that schools/nurseries do not provide the program information on official websites, minimizing transparency, and there is the existence of oversight failures in the assessment of benefits accounts and composition of the Councils.

Objective To explore as a pilot study the effects of group reminiscence therapy upon depression of people living with dementia within dementia-specific day care centers. Method A unique pre-test-post-test, quasi-experimental design counterbalanced with a qualitative grounded theory video analysis of facial expression and behavior was used to measure the effects of group reminiscence therapy. The study recruited 21 participants in total from two dementia-specific day care centers. Results The findings highlighted improvements in depression, communication, and positive mood after group reminiscence intervention. The results also showed that participants scored higher on average during the Chinese New Year and marriage reminiscence activities compared to the other activities, revealing the subject matters extraordinarily significance. Conclusion This study provides evidence supporting the proposition that undertaking a cultural focus reminiscence therapy may produce significant psychosocial improvements for a person with dementia.
