A Leishmaniose visceral (LV) é uma doença parasitária, endêmica no maranhão, de alta incidência entre crianças. Este estudo objetiva descrever o diagnóstico situacional da Leishmaniose Visceral em crianças de 0 a 11 anos de idade, residentes nos municípios da Regional de Saúde de Imperatriz, no período de 2006 a 2015. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem quantitativa. Para coleta e análise dos dados, utilizou-se a base de dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A população foi constituída por 451 crianças de 0 a 11 anos notificadas no sistema com LV.

One of the problem faced by adult education planners is the timing in designing the programme, this is due to the fact that adult learner have a lot of responsibilities either in the society, families and their own personal problem that affect their study. This paper therefore discusses an overview of timing in organizing and implementing adult literacy programme in Nigeria. It also discusses whether there is relationship between timing and success in literacy programme, and also the paper highlight why timing in adult literacy programme should be given consideration and appropriateness.

In this paper, the author discusses the issues surrounding the intersectionality of psychology in India.

This study aims to find out the vaginal mucosa during artificial insemination against Non Return Rate (NRR) and Conception Rate (CR) in the highlands. Sixty female dairy cows were used as samples in this study. The pH of the vaginal mucosa is measured by digital pH meter on each dairy cow at the time of artificial insemination. Non Return Rate (NRR) observation was performed on the 21st day after insemination and Conception Rate (CR) was performed on day 60 after insemination. The effect of pH of the vaginal mucosa during artificial insemination is in the range of 6.8 to 8.5.

Today, in engineering departments, mathematics courses such as calculus, linear algebra and differential equations are taught by mathematicians. Therefore, in their classroom teaching there are few or no applications of the concepts to real world problems. Most of the times, students do not know whether the concepts or rules taught in these courses will be used extensively in their majors or not. This situation holds true for all engineering disciplines. The real-life application of mathematics will be appreciated by students when mathematical modeling of real world problems are tackled.

AIDS currently has chronic disease status because of the side effects of HAART. A study with 91 adult subjects undergoing HAART with or without hypolipidemic and/or hypoglycemic medication. Subjects were divided into groups A (GA) and B (GB) based on HAART and GB received 3.6 kg of Bioactive Food Compound (BFC) for three months. The variables were: immunological and virologic, biochemical parameters, HAART and BFC.

The quality of diet influences in development of chronic diseases as obesity and metabolic syndrome that trigger low-grade inflammatory process. With the objective of analyzing the reflexes of obesity and metabolic inflammation animal models of diseases have been proposed to induce inflammatory processes through different types of diets, such as high-carbohydrate (HCD) and high-fat diets (HFD), both of them producing deleterious effects on the body.

The research effort entertained herein aimed at evaluating the possible effects of cell injury by ranibizumab in biological assays, in order to prove its safety for use in humans. For this, indirect ophtalmoscopy in albino rabbits was evaluated in vivo for a period of 21 days following intravitreal administration of ranibizumab (10mg/mL) in volumes of 30 and 50µL, or 50µL of saline solution, and retinal histological staining of the rabbits’ eyes performed with hematoxylin/eosin.

Aim: The study was to determine the levels of knowledge and practice of self-care management of patients with type11 diabetes at Manzanilla Clinic in East Trinidad. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study was undertaken, using all attendees to the health center on a 5-week period. A researchers’-structured Likert-like questionnaire was developed and pretested for the study. Although 88 attendees were targeted, only 66 consented and therefore were recruited for the study. Data was analyzed with SPSS programme version 20. It was presented as frequencies in tables.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on feed and energy intake, feed efficiency, daily weight gain, carcass traits, quality and composition of meat in buffalo calves. Sixteen male buffalo calves of weighing 55+5 kg live body weight (approximately 16 + 2 wks of age) were purchased from local animal market located at a distance of 40 km from Tandojam, Pakistan.
