Etiological drug treatment of human infection by Trypanosoma cruzi

Forty-nine American Trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease) patients, with xenodiagnosis proven parasitemia were treated by the authors. Forty-one of these patients were given benznidazole, at dosages ranging from 5mg/kg/day to 8mg/kg/day, during a pre-established period of 60 days. In this group, 17 patients had an undetermined form of the disease, whereas 22 had cardiologic disease and 4 had digestive disease (two patients had a mixed form of the disease). Side effects were frequent, and led to the discontinuation of treatment in 17 patients. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 20 years (mean follow-up period of 6 yrs. 7 mo). 26 (63.4%) of the patients became parasitemia-negative. The other eight patients were treated with nifurtimox, during 120 days, following a variable dose regime of 5mg/kg/day (initial dose) to 17 mg/kg/day (final dose). Six of them had severe side effects, and only one patient remained parasitemia-negative throughout the observation period (ranging from 1 to 18 years). Benznidazole proved to be better tolerated and more effective in the management of parasitemia when compared to nifurtimox, although more effective and less toxic drugs are still desirable.

O fascínio da presença: linguagem e discurso na "Logique de la philosophie" de Eric Weil

Eric Weil nasceu em 1904, na Alemanha, e faleceu em 1977, em Nice. Em 1928, defendeu a sua Dissertação de Licenciatura intitulada Das Pietro Pomponazzi Lehre von dem Menschen und der Welt, sob orientação de Emst Cassirer. Oriundo de uma família judia, é forçado a partir para França em 1932, adoptando a nacionalidade francesa em 1938. Durante a Guerra é feito prisioneiro e permanece intemado num campo de concentração durante cerca de cinco anos, acontecimento que tem decerto o seu peso no optimismo que perpassa a sua filosofia. Profundo conhecedor da obra de Hegel, mas também das de Kant e de Aristóteles, fez parte do grupo do Seminário de Alexandre Kojève e fundou, com Georges Bataille, a revista Critique. Professor em Lille, a partir de 1956, e em Nice, desde 1969, foi eleito membro da Académie des Sciences Morales et Polidques em 1976.

YELLOW FEVER PREVENTION STRATEGIES AWARENESS AMONG HIV-INFECTED PATIENTS IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL

Introduction: Vaccination is the main preventive strategy against Yellow Fever (YF), which is a public health concern in Brazil. However, HIV-infected patients might have insufficient knowledge regarding YF, YF prevention, and vaccines in general. Methods: In this questionnaire-based study, data from 158 HIV-infected individuals were addressed in three distinct outpatient clinics in São Paulo. Information was collected on demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as patients' knowledge of vaccines, YF and YF preventive strategies. In addition, individual YF vaccine recommendations and vaccine status were investigated. Results: Although most participants adequately ascertain the vaccine as the main prevention strategy against YF, few participants were aware of the severity and lack of specific treatment for YF. Discrepancy in YF vaccine (patients who should have taken the vaccine, but did not) was observed in 18.8% of participants. Conclusion: YF is an important and preventable public health concern, and these results demonstrate that more information is necessary for the HIV-infected population.

O Planeamento Urbano e as estações de Ski na perspectiva do Marketing

O nascimento do conceito de marketing territorial tem a sua origem numa tripla evolução contemporânea. Em primeiro lugar; a concorrência entre conjuntos territoriais aumentou de forma espectacular nos anos 90, seja no que respeita à organização de manifestações desportivas, à implantação de parques de diversão, de infraestruturas ou simplesmente de emp resas. Em segundo lugar, os subconjuntos nacionais beneficiaram de uma maior autonomia pela via de uma desc entralização que atingiu todos os países. Esta descentralização p ermitiu uma repartição mais equilibrada dos poderes e forneceu aos actores locais, as bases do desenvolvimento territorial. Finalmente, o alargamento das competências orçamentais da União Europeia tornou possível a extensão da sua política territorial e engendrou uma corrida aos subsídios. O marketing territorial aparece pois como a forma geográfica da globalização e da liberalização das economias mundiais, uma vez que ele define como objectivo vender um conjunto territorial, pô-lo no mercado aplicando técnicas similares às utilizadas para vender um produto de consumo corrente. De qualquer forma, pela singularidade do produto em questão , temos que nos haver com uma abordagem de marketing sensivelmente diferente da abordagem clássica. Assim sendo, tentaremos definir esta especificidade e mostrar os meios de acção do marketing territorial.

The names of things: terminology and the practice of art history

This paper aims to explore the ways in which standard art history terminology shapes the practice of art history by conditioning the interpretation of specific works of art and, in certain cases, the definition of a research subject (especially where questions of genre and periodization are concerned). Taking as a case study a painting by Georges de La Tour, the Peasant Couple Eating, I will argue that terms such as realism, realistic, naturalistic etc. used for its description and/or interpretation, far from constituting objective stylistic characterizations, shape our perception of the work in question. Bringing the question of social class to the center of the discourse on realism, I propose to show how the social divide between the painter and his subject matter (in this case, the peasants) is internalized in the painting’s style and meaning, and how it is fundamental for the understanding of its intentionality and function.

A comparative review of risk based portfolio allocations: An empirical study throughout rising yields

Since the financial crisis, risk based portfolio allocations have gained a great deal in popularity. This increase in popularity is primarily due to the fact that they make no assumptions as to the expected return of the assets in the portfolio. These portfolios implicitly put risk management at the heart of asset allocation and thus their recent appeal. This paper will serve as a comparison of four well-known risk based portfolio allocation methods; minimum variance, maximum diversification, inverse volatility and equally weighted risk contribution. Empirical backtests will be performed throughout rising interest rate periods from 1953 to 2015. Additionally, I will compare these portfolios to more simple allocation methods, such as equally weighted and a 60/40 asset-allocation mix. This paper will help to answer the question if these portfolios can survive in a rising interest rate environment.
