This tool of communication between the 2,500 members of the Resident Advocate Committee (RAC) Program and the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is used to keep all volunteers informed of their roles and responsibilities as they carry out the duties of a resident advocate. The Advocate is provided to Resident Advocates on a quarterly basis.

Evaluación poblacional del recurso concha de abanico (Argopecten purpuratus) en la Isla de Lobos de Tierra y Bahía de Sechura (14 al 23 de octubre de 1995)

Contiene los resultados de la evaluación del recurso concha de abanico efectuada en las áreas de Isla Lobos de Tierra y Bahía de Sechura. Se utilizaron los programas DEIM y ESTRATA para resolver los resultados de esta evaluación de forma más precisa y rápida. Como resultado se indica que en la zona de la Isla de Lobos de Tierra se presenta en explotación plena, mientras que la Bahía de Sechura se encuentra en un proceso de recuperación poblacional con abundancia de juveniles.

Intérêt du bleu de méthylène dans la chirurgie de l'hyperparathyroïdism primaire [Methylene blue in surgery of primary hyperparathyroidism]

Is surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism easier when methylene blue (MB) is given preoperatively? This retrospective study compares the durations of interventions for primary hyperparathyroidism carried out after i.v. MB administration to those when no MB was given. Over a period of 20 years (June 1976 to December 1996), 175 consecutive patients (56 men and 119 women, with ages ranging from 16 to 92, mean 59.6) were operated upon for primary hyperparathyrodism; 55 were operated before February 1986--the period when BM was introduced routinely, and 120 after. Thirty-two other patients were excluded from the study: 14 had had a previous cervicotomy and 18 another procedure in addition to the parathyroidectomy (usually on the thyroid gland), two conditions which prolonged the time devoted to parathyroid identification and excision. Preoperative calcemia averaged 2.97 mmol/L (2.34 to 4.59) and mean preoperative PTH was equal to 2.6 times the upper normal limit (0.5 to 24.1). Both groups were similar for as age, sex, preoperative calcium and PTH, and histologies. Methylene blue was administered intravenously (5 mg/kg diluted in 500 cc of 5% glucose) over a period of time of one hour starting two hours prior to surgery. All 175 procedures were performed by two surgeons and duration of surgery was recorded from the anesthesiologist's notes. There were 149 adenomas (85%), 24 hyperplasias (14%), a combination of both in two, and unspecified in two others. Except for a case of acute lower back pain synchronous to the injection of the dye (which was immediately stopped), MB was well tolerated. Mean duration for the 55 interventions performed without MB was 68 minutes (35 to 140, median 60), compared to 49 minutes for the 120 procedures carried out after MB had been given (20 to 155, median 45). Differences in operative, times were highly significant (p < 10(-6) and represented a gain of time of 27%. Surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism was significantly shorter when it was preceded by the administration of MB, a dye which facilitates the identification of pathologic parathyroid gland(s).

Problémas de Recursos Hídricos em Ilhas - Exemplo da Ilha de Santiago - Caso da Bacia Hidrográfica da Ribeira Grande da Cidade Velha e Bacia Hidrográfica da Ribeira Seca

As ilhas de Cabo Verde elevam-se de um soco submarino, em forma de ferradura, situado a uma profundidade da ordem de 3.000 metros. Deste soco emergem três pedestais bem distintos1. A Norte, compreendendo as ilhas de St° Antão, S. Vicente, St.ª Luzia e S. Nicolau e os ilhéus Boi, Pássaros, Branco e Raso. A Leste e a Sul, com as ilhas do Sal, Boa Vista, Maio e Santiago e os ilhéus Rabo de Junco, Curral de Dadó, Fragata, Chano, Baluarte e de Santa Maria. A Oeste, compreendendo as ilhas do Fogo e da Brava e os ilhéus Grande, Luís Carneiro e de Cima (Fig. 1 - Mapa de Cabo Verde e distribuição das ilhas nos três pedestais). A formação das ilhas teria sido iniciada por uma actividade vulcânica submarina central, mais tarde completada por uma rede físsural manifestada nos afloramentos. A maior parte das ilhas é dominada por emissões de escoadas lávicas e de materiais piroclásticos (escórias, bagacinas ou "lapilli" e cinzas) subaéreos, predominantemente basálticas. O Arquipélago de Cabo Verde fica localizado na margem Oriental do Atlântico Norte, a cerca de 450 Km da Costa Ocidental da África e a cerca de 1.400 Km a SSW das Canárias, limitado pelos paralelos 17° 13' (Ponta Cais dos Fortes, Ilha de St° Antão) e 14º 48' (Ponta de Nho Martinho, Ilha Brava), de latitude Norte e pelos meridianos de 22° 42' (ilhéu Baluarte, Ilha da Boa Vista) e 25° 22' (Ponta Chã de Mangrado, Ilha de St° Antão) de longitude Oeste de Greenwich. O Arquipélago de Cabo Verde fica situado a cerca de 2.000 Km a Leste do actual "rift" da "Crista Média Atlântica" e a Oeste da zona de quietude magnética ("quite zone"), entre as isócronas dos 120 e 140 M.A., segundo Vacquier (1972), e a dos 107 e 153 M.A., segundo Haynes & Rabinowitz (1975), argumentos invocados para se considerar que as ilhas teriam sido geradas em ambiente oceânico. O Arquipélago de Cabo Verde fica situado numa região elevada do actual fundo oceânico, que faz parte da "Crista de Cabo Verde" (" Cape Verde Rise"), e que na vizinhança das ilhas corresponde a um domo com cerca de 400 Km de largura (Lancelot et al., 1977). Presume-se que um domo daquelas dimensões representa um fenómeno importante, possivelmente relacionado com descompressão e fusão parcial (Le Bas, 1980) que forneceria a fonte dos magmas que originaram as ilhas (Stillman et al., 1982). As ilhas se teriam implantado por um mecanismo do tipo "hot-spot", de acordo com alguns autores.
