‘The Father of Canadian Transportation’ is a term commonly associated with William Hamilton Merritt. Although he is most known for being one of the driving forces behind the building of the first Welland Canal, he was many things throughout his life; a soldier, merchant, promoter, entrepreneur and politician to name a few. Born on July 3, 1793 at Bedford, Westchester County, N.Y. to Thomas Merritt and Mary Hamilton, Merritt’s family relocated to Canada shortly after in 1796. The move came after Merritt’s father petitioned John Graves Simcoe for land in Upper Canada after serving under him in the Queen’s Rangers during the American Revolution. The family quickly settled into their life at Twelve Mile Creek in St. Catharines. Merritt’s father became sheriff of Lincoln County in 1803 while Merritt began his education in mathematics and surveying. After some brief travel and further education Merritt returned to Lincoln County, in 1809 to help farm his father’s land and open a general store. While a farmer and merchant, Merritt turned his attention to military endeavours. A short time after being commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Lincoln militia, the War of 1812 broke out. Fulfilling his duty, Merritt fought in the Battle of Queenston Heights in October of 1812, and numerous small battles until the Battle of Lundy’s Lane in July 1814. It was here that Merritt was captured and held in Cheshire, Massachusetts until the war ended. Arriving back in the St. Catharines area upon his release, Merritt returned to being a merchant, as well as becoming a surveyor and mill owner. Some historians hypothesize that the need to draw water to his mill was how the idea of the Welland Canals was born. Beginning with a plan to connect the Welland River with the Twelve mile creek quickly developed into a connection between the Lakes Erie and Ontario. Its main purpose was to improve the St. Lawrence transportation system and provide a convenient way to transport goods without having to go through the Niagara Falls portage. The plan was set in motion in 1818, but most living in Queenston and Niagara were not happy with it as it would drive business away from them. Along with the opposition came financial and political restraints. Despite these factors Merritt pushed on and the Welland Canal Company was chartered by the Upper Canadian Assembly on January 19, 1824. The first sod was turned on November 30, 1824 almost a year after the initial chartering. Many difficulties arose during the building of the canal including financial, physical, and geographic restrictions. Despite the difficulties two schooners passed through the canal on November 30, 1829. Throughout the next four years continual work was done on the canal as it expended and was modified to better accommodate large ships. After his canal was underway Merritt took a more active role in the political arena, where he served in various positions throughout Upper Canada. In 1851, Merritt withdrew from the Executive Council for numerous reasons, one of which being that pubic interest had diverted from the canals to railways. Merritt tried his hand at other public works outside transportation and trade. He looked into building a lunatic asylum, worked on behalf of War of 1812 veterans, aided in building Brock’s monument, established schools, aided refugee slaves from the U.S. and tried to establish a National Archives among many other feats. He was described by some as having “policy too liberal – conceptions too vast – views too comprehensive to be comprehensible by all”, but he still made a great difference in the society in which he lived. After his great contributions, Merritt died aboard a ship in the Cornwall canal on July 5, 1862. Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online http://www.biographi.ca/EN/ShowBio.asp?BioId=38719 retrieved October 2006 Today numerous groups carry on the legacy of Merritt and the canals both in the past and present. One such group is the Welland Canals Foundation. They describe themselves as: “. . . a volunteer organization which strives to promote the importance of the present and past Welland Canals, and to preserve their history and heritage. The Foundation began in 1980 and carries on events like William Hamilton Merritt Day. The group has strongly supported the Welland Canals Parkway initiative and numerous other activities”. The Welland Canals Foundation does not work alone. They have help from other local groups such as the St. Catharines Historical Society. The Society’s main objective is to increase knowledge and appreciation of the historical aspects of St. Catharines and vicinity, such as the Welland Canals. http://www.niagara.com/~dmdorey/hssc/dec2000.html - retrieved Oct. 2006 http://www.niagara.com/~dmdorey/hssc/feb2000.html - retrieved Oct. 2006

A (des)integralidade pela (in)diferença: um estudo sobre práticas assistenciais ao louco na emergência de um hospital quase geral

A atual política de saúde mental brasileira aponta o hospital geral como parte integrante da rede de serviços substitutivos ao manicômio. É preconizado por essa política que os serviços substitutivos levem em consideração, entre outras premissas, o acolhimento, o vínculo e a integralidade na prestação do cuidado. Frente a isso, optou-se por estudar o atendimento ao louco no hospital geral. Este estudo foi realizado no setor de emergência do Hospital Estadual Pedro II, situado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo era analisar as práticas assistenciais ao louco em um hospital geral e os seus efeitos para integralidade. Para isso, buscou-se, especificamente, a) situar a unidade hospitalar e sua relação com a rede de serviços de saúde, destacando os aspectos sociais, políticos e culturais que se inserem; e b) compreender os sentidos e significados sobre integralidade, acolhimento e vínculo atribuídos pelos sujeitos envolvidos nas práticas assistenciais a clientela com transtorno psiquiátrico; e c) identificar a existência de nexos entre essas práticas e as diretrizes do movimento de reforma psiquiátrica, além de mapear os dispositivos de poder e seus efeitos nas práticas assistenciais. Optou-se pelo recurso metodológico do Estudo de Caso. Os dados foram obtidos através de observação, análise documental, entrevista e conversas do cotidiano. Identificou-se que o hospital funciona como a única emergência da região, além de ser a única porta aberta às emergências psiquiátricas. O espaço físico da emergência em pouco favorecia o desenvolvimento de uma atenção acolhedora, resolutiva e humanizada, seja ao louco ou a qualquer outro paciente. As práticas assistenciais ainda eram predominantemente pautadas pelo modo asilar. Acolhimento, vínculo e integralidade faziam parte do discurso, mas ainda não se materializaram nas práticas assistenciais. O estigma atribuído à doença mental foi percebido como empecilho a práticas acolhedoras. A noção de vínculo foi atrelada à responsabilidade. Porém a prática de alguns profissionais da emergência e do próprio serviço de saúde mental não revelou essa responsabilização na coprodução de saúde. As relações de poder no campo seguiam o modelo biomédico hegemônico, com centralidade na figura do médico. Elas foram consideradas empecilho à materialização da integralidade. A fim de possibilitar a concretização do hospital como parte da rede de serviços substitutivos julgou-se necessário investir em novos arranjos institucionais que coloquem o usuário como centro dos modos de produção de atos de saúde; inserir a dimensão cuidadora na formação e qualificação dos profissionais de saúde e, investir especificamente na dimensão sociocultural da reforma psiquiátrica para que o ideário reformista deixe de circular somente os guetos psiquiátrico e garanta um outro lugar para o louco na sociedade.

Factors associated with latent tuberculosis among asylum seekers in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study in Vaud County.

BACKGROUND: Screening and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in asylum seekers (AS) may prevent future cases of tuberculosis. As the screening with Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is costly, the objective of this study was to assess which factors were associated with LTBI and to define a score allowing the selection of AS with the highest risk of LTBI. METHODS: In across-sectional study, AS seekers recently arrived in Vaud County, after screening for tuberculosis at the border were offered screening for LTBI with T-SPOT.TB and questionnaire on potentially risk factors. The factors associated with LTBI were analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression. RESULTS: Among 393 adult AS, 98 (24.93%) had a positive IGRA response, five of them with active tuberculosis previously undetected. Six factors associated with LTBI were identified in multivariate analysis: origin, travel conditions, marital status, cough, age and prior TB exposure. Their combination leads to a robust LTBI predictive score. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of LTBI and active tuberculosis in AS is high. A predictive score integrating six factors could identify the asylum seekers with the highest risk for LTBI.
