Right ventricular structure and function as possible determinants of surgical outcome 30 years after repair of tetralogy of Fallot

OBJECTIVE: To identify the variables that may be involved in the persistence of symptoms (functional class II, III, or IV vs. I) in patients being followed up for 30 years after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot. METHODS: Fifty-three patients (27 women), who underwent corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot between 1960 and 1970, were studied. Their ages ranged from 7 months to 26 years. At the end of follow-up, 13 patients were asymptomatic and the remaining were in functional class II (N=24), III (N=15), and IV (N=1). To differentiate asymptomatic from symptomatic patients, the following variables were analyzed: age at surgery, need for widening the pulmonary ring and trunk, need for a second (2nd OP) or 3rd operation, residual defect of the interventricular septum, residual regurgitation of the pulmonary valve, systolic gradient through the right ventricular outflow tract, right ventricular dilation or hypertrophy (RVH), cardiothoracic index (CTI), right and left ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF/LVEF), and arrhythmias. RESULTS: The univariate analysis showed an association between the presence of symptoms and the 2nd OP (P=0.03), an increase in the CTI (P=0.0001), moderate to severe RVH (P=0.002), and dilation (P=0.0003). In the logistic regression model, the combination of the 2nd OP (P=0.008), the RVH (P=0.002), and the reduction in RVEF (P=0.01) determined the presence of symptoms. CONCLUSION: Despite the surgical treatment, right ventricular remodeling and performance were the major determinants in the late follow-up of tetralogy of Fallot.

"Propheten" und "Humanisten" : Sciences Humaines-Konjunktur und intellektuelles Feld in Frankreich (1960-1980) in der struktural-pragmatischen Diskursanalyse

In den 1960er und 1970er Jahren durchläuft das intellektuelle Feld in Frankreich einen grundlegenden Wandel, der eine Reihe von sich rasch abwechselnden Theorien und Tendenzen nachsichzieht. Der hegemoniale Erfolg von "Meisterdenkern" wie Lacan, Althusser und Foucault kann auf eine Verbindung verschiedener Faktoren zurückgeführt werden: die schnelle Ausweitung des akademischen Felds, die Krise des freischaffenden Künstlers und Privatgelehrten und die zunehmende Rolle gewisser "peripherer Institutionen" (ENS, EHESS, Collège de France). Um einen gegebenen Diskurs nicht auf eine vorgegebene Realität zu reduzieren, zielt diese Dissertation auf eine Öffnung der Bourdieu'schen Feldtheorie für eine struktural-pragmatische Diskurstheorie, die die Kontingenz der Artikulation von Struktur und diskursivem Geschehnis betont. Die Analyse von Werken und Karrieren bestimmter Produzenten (wie Derrida, Barthes, Tel Quel) wird zeigen, wie die Produzenten intellektuelle Hegemonien artikulieren und sich gegen ihre Konkurrenten positionieren.

Sombreamento dos cafèzais II: resultados do 4.° biênio (1959/1960)

This paper deals with data obtained in 1959 and 1960 in shaded and unshaded coffee plots at Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The results can be summarized as follows: a) the production, in shaded and unshaded plots, did not show differences statisticaly significant; b) the percentage of coffee berry borer infestation was higher in shaded plots as compared with unshaded ones; c) the percentage of green, ripened and dry fruits depends of the year and of the harvest time. In the same harvest time, both for shaded and for unshaded plots the percentages in the shaded plots were higher for green fruits and lesser for ripened and dry fruits; d) coffee fruits brought from the field in the harvest time yielding up in unshaded plots as compared with shaded ones; e) the relation grains/dry fruits was better in shaded plots.

Avaliação do período de florescimento das plantas apícolas no ano de 1960, através do polem contido nos méis e dos coletados pelas abelhas (Apis Mellifera L.)

Neste trabalho apresentamos os resultados da análise polínica de 11 amostras de mel e de polem coletados pelas abelhas Apis mellifera L., durante o período de março de 1960, no Apiário da Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz". Através dessa análise, pudemos comprovar e identificar como plantas nectaríferas e poliníferas as seguintes espécies: Eucalyptus sp., Dombeya sp., Agave sisalana, Vernonia sp., Montanoa bipinnatificada, Persea americana, Baccharis sp.. Citrus sp., e como plantas poliníferas as que seguem: Bidens piíosus, Cosmus sulphureus, Pirostegia venusta, Mel-linis minutiflora. Pudemos, assim, avaliar de modo indireto o período de florescimento das plantas apícolas nos arredores do apiário da Escola e comparar essa avaliação com as observações diretas de KERR & AMARAL (196°) sobre o período de florescimentos das plantas apícolas no planalto Paulista. Daí podermos afirmar ser a análise polínica dos méis e a análise dos polens coletados pelas abelhas um método prático de valor para estudos de fenologia das plantas apícolas. Poderemos assim aplicar a análise polínica em nossos futuros estudos sobre a fenologia das plantas apícolas em diferentes regiões do Estado de São Paulo.

Sombreamento dos cafezais V: resultados de mais dois bienios: 1967/1968 - 1970/1971

Os dados obtidos durante os anos de 1967 a 1971 (2 biênios: 1967/1968 e 1670/1971) no cafèzal da E.S.A. "Luiz de Queiroz", parte sombreada e parte a pleno sol, foram estudados no presente trabalho, complementando aqueles de sete biênios já descritos em trabalhos anteriores. Os resultados obtidos, analisados estatisticamente em relação à produção, porcentagem de broca, porcentagem de frutos verdes, de maduros e de sêcos, rendimento de café da roça, relação café beneficiado/café coco e peneira média, permitiram as conclusões seguintes, principalmente em relação aos biênios estudados: a. o lote sombreado, em relação a um dos lotes não sombreado, apresentou diferenças significativas quanto à produção, em favor para o sombreado; isso se deve provavelmente ao fato de as plantas de sombra estarem agora em decadência com muitas árvores mortas, favorecendo o lote sombreado pela luz e pela matéria orgânica acumulada; b. a porcentagem de broca continuou a ser, em geral, sempre maior nos lotes sombreados; c. as porcentagens de frutos verdes, de maduros e de sêcos dependem, em geral, do ano e da época da colheita.

Publishing performances of spanish academics: 1970-2004

The aim of this note is to complement some of the results appearing in Dolado et al. (2003) article “Publishing Performance in Economics: Spanish Rankings” Particularly we want to focus on three issues: the robustness of the results regardless of the time span considered, the evaluation of a researcher to the advance of the knowledge, and to what extent the choice of a particular database to download the results can affect the results. Differences are significant when we expand the time period considered. There are also small but significant differences if we combine datasets to derive the rankings.

Publishing performance of spanish academics: 1970-2004: institutions, researchers et al.

This work complements some of the results appearing in the article ?Publishing Performance in Economics: Spanish Rankings? by Dolado et al. . Specifically we focus on the robustness of the results regardless of the time span considered, the effect of the choice of a particular database on the final results, and the effects on changes in the unit of institutional measure (departments versus institutions as a whole). Differences are significant when we expand the time period considered. There are also significant but small differences if we combine datasets to derive the rankings. Finally, department rankings offer a more precise picture of the situation of the Spanish academics, although results do not differ substantially from those obtained when overall institutions are considered.

Poliomyelitis: epidemiological aspects in Rio de Janeiro (Guanabara State) and adjacent areas in the period from 1961 to 1970

Based on the available data from the Hospital responsible for the care of paralitic poliomyelitis cases in Rio de Janeiro City (Guanabara State) and adjacent areas, and the laboratory studies carried out on these patients, the authors analize epidemiological aspects of poliomyelitis in a period of ten years (1961 to 1970). Paralitic poliomyelitis remains a public health problem, with a typical incidence in the less than 4 year age group. All three poliovirus types have been prevalent for at least one period of time during the last ten years. Trivalent oral vaccine has been used since 1961 but the vaccination levels achieved were not enough to a permanent control of the disease. A definite seasonal distribution of cases could not be observed with the available data. Active mass campaign vaccinations with previous motivation of all segments of the population, specially the low-income groups instead of passive waiting of children in Vaccination Centers seems to be the best aproach to control poliomyelitis in this area.

Material flow accounting of Mexico (1970-2003)

This technical background paper describes the methods applied and data sources used in the compilation of the 1980-2003 data set for material flow accounts of the Mexican economy and presents the data set. It is organised in four parts: the first part gives an overview of the Material Flow Accounting (MFA) methodology. The second part presents the main material flows of the Mexican economy including biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores, industrial minerals and, construction minerals. The aim of this part is to explain the procedures and methods followed, the data sources used as well as providing a brief evaluation of the quality and reliability of the information used and the accounts established. Finally, some conclusions will be provided.
