Estudo do HPV em fragmento uterino de mulheres com câncer do colo do útero

O câncer do colo do útero representa um importante problema de saúde publica, constituindo a primeira causa de morte entre as mulheres do Sul e Leste da África, America Central e Centro Sul da Ásia. Levantamentos do INCA para 2013 estimam 17 casos novos dessa neoplasia para cada 100.000 mulheres no Brasil, sendo que o número de casos novos será de 17.540. Este tipo de câncer é o segundo mais incidente no sexo feminino. O HPV é o principal fator de risco para o desenvolvimento da doença, entretanto não é suficiente para causá-lo, necessitando de outros fatores associados. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência do HPV e subtipos em mulheres com câncer do colo do útero e traçar o perfil epidemiológico das mulheres acometidas por este agravo. Para isso, foi realizada detecção do DNA do HPV e tipagem dos subtipos 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 52, e 58 por PCR. Além disso, foi aplicado um formulário epidemiológico. Noventa e sete por cento aproximadamente das amostras de câncer do colo do útero foram positivas para HPV. A prevalência do subtipo HPV 16 foi de 48,6%, do subtipo HPV 58 foi de 10,8%, do subtipo HPV 52 foi de 5,4% e dos subtipos HPV 18 e HPV 33 foi de 2,7%. As mulheres em geral eram casadas tiveram a coitarca após os 15 anos de idade, possuíam baixa escolaridade, sendo a maioria analfabeta ou com ensino fundamental incompleto. Dividindo as mulheres por idade, até 45 anos e mais de 45 anos, não foi possível detectar diferenças nas variáveis testadas, a não ser pelo uso de preservativo que foi maior nas mulheres de até 45 anos, sendo estatisticamente.

Differentiation and species status of the Neotropical yellow-eared bats Vampyressa pusilla and V. thyone (Phyllostomidae) with a molecular phylogeny and review of the genus

A systematic re-evaluation of Vampyressa pusilla warrants the elevation of V. p. thyone from subspecies to species rank based on its distinction from the allopatric V. p. pusilla. Morphological, mensural, chromosomal, and mitochondrial differences define each of these two taxa as divergent lineages. Vampyressa pusilla is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern South America and V. thyone is found allopatrically in northwestern South America, Central America, and southern Mexico. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA ND3-4 gene region using restriction endonuclease cut sites resulted in a monophyletic, although weakly supported Vampyressa ingroup with Chiroderma, and a clade of Mesophylla and Ectophylla as successive basal outgroup lineages. The phylogeny within Vampyressa, with the exception of V. melissa which is most similar to V. thyone based on karyotypes and morphology, had a topology of ((pusilla + thyone) + ((brocki + nymphaea) + bidens))).

Estadísticas de producción de electricidad de los países del Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA): datos preliminares a 2015

En este documento se presentan, de manera preliminar, cuadros regionales y nacionales con datos estadísticos de la producción de energía eléctrica de los ocho países que conforman el Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA): Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá, Belice y la República Dominicana. Los primeros seis países han sido agrupados bajo el Sistema de Interconexión Eléctrica de los Países de Centroamérica (SIEPAC), que corresponde al primer mercado eléctrico regional que ha sido constituido en el continente americano. Las referencias a México corresponden a los intercambios y ventas de energía eléctrica que se hacen desde ese país a Guatemala y marginalmente al resto de países del SIEPAC. También se refieren a las ventas de energía eléctrica de México a Belice. El documento contiene información actualizada a 2015 sobre la capacidad instalada y producción de energía eléctrica en cada uno de los países, desglosada por tecnología y resúmenes de operación de los mercados mayoristas y de las transacciones regionales de electricidad. La sección de hechos relevantes describe las principales inversiones realizadas en la región con especial atención en las nuevas plantas generadoras de electricidad, la producción de electricidad por país y fuentes primarias, así como la evolución del mercado eléctrico regional.

Rainfall variability at decadal and longer time scales: signal or noise?

Rainfall variability occurs over a wide range of temporal scales. Knowledge and understanding of such variability can lead to improved risk management practices in agricultural and other industries. Analyses of temporal patterns in 100 yr of observed monthly global sea surface temperature and sea level pressure data show that the single most important cause of explainable, terrestrial rainfall variability resides within the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) frequency domain (2.5-8.0 yr), followed by a slightly weaker but highly significant decadal signal (9-13 yr), with some evidence of lesser but significant rainfall variability at interclecadal time scales (15-18 yr). Most of the rainfall variability significantly linked to frequencies tower than ENSO occurs in the Australasian region, with smaller effects in North and South America, central and southern Africa, and western Europe. While low-frequency (LF) signals at a decadal frequency are dominant, the variability evident was ENSO-like in all the frequency domains considered. The extent to which such LF variability is (i) predictable and (ii) either part of the overall ENSO variability or caused by independent processes remains an as yet unanswered question. Further progress can only be made through mechanistic studies using a variety of models.

Parental involvement: Its relation to achievement in a multiethnic sample of newly immigrated students

The current study examined how parental involvement is related to the academic adaptation and performance of a multiethnic sample of newly immigrant students from South America and the Caribbean---Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, and English-speaking Caribbean countries. Six hundred twenty-two participants attending elementary, middle and high school in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties were interviewed during two consecutive years at their respective schools. Parents completed surveys at home and returned them by mail. ^ Three forms of parent involvement were chosen as predictor variables---(1) parental contact and communication with school, (2) parental monitoring of children's school-related activities at home, and (3) parental expectations regarding children's academic achievement. Academic performance indicators obtained from school records were students' grade point averages for math and reading (GPA), FCAT-SSS (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test-Sunshine State Standards) scores, and FCAT-NRT (Norm Referenced Test) scores. Hypotheses were (a) that the forms of parent involvement would differ across the different cultural groups and (b) that parent involvement would relate to students' achievement, regardless of the specific form of involvement. ^ Results indicated that Cuban and Colombian parents differed significantly in terms of monitoring school-related activities of their children and had higher expectations for their children than Haitian, West-Indian, or Argentinean parents. Cuban parents were more likely to be actively engaged in communication with their children's schools than parents of the other ethnic groups. Multiple regression analyses indicated that the three forms of parent involvement accounted for a significant proportion of GPA and FCAT-SSS scores, after controlling for the effects of demographic variables---grade level, gender, and ethnicity. Given interactions of the parent involvement variables by country of origin for GPA, separate analyses indicated that parent involvement appeared to be most effective for Cubans and West Indians. Results are discussed in terms of the need for experimental intervention studies to identify causal relationships between parent involvement and academic achievement. ^

Samuel Chamberlain: un granuja norteamericano durante “la hora más triste de nuestra historia”

Samuel Chamberlain (1829-1908) fue un soldado estadounidense que participó en la guerra de intervención norteamericana en México. Su nombre, como el de tantos otros miles de hombres que combatieron en esta tristemente recordada conflagración, pudo olvidarse, pero no fue así por dos motivos: escribir sus memorias a las que tituló My confession: the recollections of a rogué –título que podría traducirse como Mi confesión: recuerdos de un granuja– y por plasmar en pinturas algunas de sus vivencias ocurridas durante el transcurso de este conflicto.
