Description:
Achieving sustainability is one of the major current challenges in disease control programmes. In 2001-2002, a community-based dengue control intervention was developed in three health zones of Santiago de Cuba. New structures (heterogeneous community working groups and provincial/municipal coordination groups inserted in the vertical programme) were formed and constituted a key element to achieve social mobilization. In three control zones, routine programme activities were intensified. We evaluated the sustainability of the intervention strategy over a period of 2 years after the withdrawal of external support. Data on maintenance of effects, level of institutionalization and continuity of activities through capacity building were collected via documental review, direct observation, questionnaires, key informant and group interviews and routine entomological surveys. The intervention effects, evaluated through larval indices and behavioural change indicators, were maintained during the 2 years of follow-up. In the intervention area, 87.5% of the water storage containers remained well covered in 2004 and 90.5% of the families continued to correctly use a larvicide, against 21.5% and 63.5%, respectively in the control area. The house indices further declined from 0.35% in 2002 to 0.17% in 2004 in the intervention area, while in the control area they increased from 0.52% to 2.25%. Institutionalization of the intervention, assessed in terms of degrees of intensiveness (passage, routine, niche saturation), was reaching saturation by the end of the study. Key elements of the intervention had lost their separate identity and became part of the control programme's regular activities. The host organization adapted its structures and procedures accordingly. Continuous capacity building in the community led to participatory planning, implementation and evaluation of the Aedes control activities. It is concluded that, in contrast to intensified routine control activities, a community-based intervention approach promises to be sustainable. ... Read more

Extrait : La dyslexie est un trouble de l'apprentissage de la lecture, liée à une difficulté particulière à identifier les lettres, les syllabes ou les mots qui se manifeste en l'absence de tout déficit visuel, auditif ou intellectuel et malgré une scolarisation normale. La dyslexie entraîne souvent des difficultés dans l'écriture (dysgraphie). On parle parfois de dyslexie acquise (ou alexie) pour caractériser les déficits de lecture qui apparaissent à la suite d'une lésion cérébrale. La dyslexie a été reconnue comme un trouble du développement des acquisitions scolaires par l'Organisation mondiale de la santé en 1991 qui estime qu'elle touche de 8 à 12 % de la population. Son diagnostic est établi au moyen d'un bilan pluridisciplinaire mené par un professionnel médical ou para-médical qui permet d'éliminer d'autres causes. De nombreuses études scientifiques ont permis d'identifier des facteurs génétiques impliqués dans l'étiologie de la dyslexie. Néanmoins, ce trouble de la lecture reste très dépendant de l'environnement socio-linguistique : en particulier, la dyslexie est d'autant moins handicapante que la langue est dite transparente et une prise en charge adaptée permet au dyslexique de poursuivre une scolarité normale. Pourtant, la notion de dyslexie de l'enfant reste toujours en débat. D'après certains spécialistes, en particul...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dengue fever are acute febrile diseases which occur in the tropics, can be life-threatening, and are caused by four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. It is also known as breakbone fever. It occurs widely in the tropics, including northern Argentina, northern Australia, and the entirety of Bangladesh, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad, Venezuela and Vietnam. Unlike malaria, dengue is just as prevalent in the urban districts of its range as in rural areas. Each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti or more rarely the Aedes albopictus mosquito, which feed during the day. ... Read more

Excerpt: Ivory Coast ebolavirusReston ebolavirusSudan ebolavirusZaire ebolavirus Ebola is the virus Ebolavirus (EBOV), a viral genus, and the disease Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF), a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF). The virus is named after the Ebola River Valley in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), which is near the site of the first recognized outbreak in 1976 at a mission hospital run by Flemish nuns. It remained largely obscure until 1989 when several widely publicized outbreaks occurred among monkeys in the United States. The virus interferes with the endothelial cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels and with coagulation. As the blood vessel walls become damaged and destroyed, the platelets are unable to coagulate, patients succumb to hypovolemic shock. Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids, while conjunctiva exposure may also lead to transmission. There are five recognized species within the ebolavirus genus, which have a number of specific strains. The Zaire virus is the type species, which is also the first discovered and the most lethal. Electron micrographs show long filaments, characteristic of the Filoviridae viral family. The genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus were originally classified as the species of ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=57246 ... Read more
