Study of the prevalence of Frank’s sign in a general population

Background: Frank’s sign is a diagonal crease in the earlobe that extends from the tragus to the inferior-posterior auricle’s edge. Described as a predictor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), it was considered an independent cardiovascular risk factor (CRF) and associated with cerebrovascular events and cognitive impairment (CI). Objectives: To assess the prevalence of Frank’s sign in a general population aged 60 years or older regardless of the presence of CRFs and to relate the presence of this sign with epidemiological and clinical aspects. Design and setting: This is an analytical, observational and cross- sectional study accomplished in ABC Region and in Itapecerica da Serra (Greater São Paulo). Methods: 500 individuals aged 60 years or older randomly recruited had their ears photographed, responded to either Mini Mental State Examination or Montreal Cognitive Assessment depending on education achievement. Results: 57% were women; 57% were white, 39% black and 4% asian; 64% had the sign; Frank’s sign was associated with dyslipidemia and almost with hypertension, but not with cardiovascular events or CI. Conclusions: 1. Frank’s sign was more prevalent in older people, in the white population and, for the first time, in women. 2. There is a pattern in the sign prevalence in Greater São Paulo, which differs from the international one. 3. Frank’s sign seems to be a marker for CV risk, but not for previous CV events. 4. There was no association between Frank’s sign and CI. 5. Prospective studies could assure whether this sign is a marker for CVDs in this population.

Elective language CLIL courses as a means of vocational guidance for students at the upper stage of basic general education

The development of students’ professional identity is one of the main goals of their education at the senior level of basic general secondary education. Achievement of this goal will largely help school students to make a choice of a direction of training or specialty at a university for higher education and upon completion of professional activity. In this case, in the context of specialized education at school, elective language courses aimed at immersion in the world of future professions by means of the studied language can play a special role. Content and language integrated learning is one of the innovative approaches for the domestic education system, which consists in the simultaneous study of a foreign language by students and mastering a specialized discipline or specialty. Elective language CLIL-courses, built on the model of integrated learning, are able to create didactic conditions for the simultaneous achievement of three learning goals: a) mastering by students of a foreign language; b) mastering the profile discipline by students; c) creating conditions for the professional self-determination of school students and their career guidance. We consider: a) the linguodidactic potential of language elective courses; b) describe the linguodidactic capabilities of content and language integrated learning; c) define and substantiate the key characteristics of an elective CLIL language course. These characteristics include: 1) a three-aspect learning goal; 2) CLIL-course should include thematic modules, revealing the features of one or different professions; 3) the system of problematic tasks and cases of a professional orientation should act as the methodological dominant of the CLIL course; 4) the use of a cluster approach to organizing and conducting a CLIL course; 5) teaching tandem in teaching CLIL-course. We describe in detail each of their key characteristics.
