O objetivo foi analisar a Qualidade de Vida (QV) de 89 enfermeiros, 14 fisioterapeutas e 06 nutricionistas de um hospital universitário. A coleta dos dados ocorreu entre agosto e outubro de 2005, por meio do WHOQOL – bref. Os dados foram submetidos a testes estatísticos contemplando: características da amostra e QV, agrupadas em domínios: físico, psicológico, relação social e de meio ambiente. Dentre os resultados destacam-se: sexo feminino (94,50%); faixa etária entre 20 e 35 anos (85,32%); 80,74% com pós-graduação; 44,03% com dupla ou tripla jornada de trabalho. Os escores totais das características de QV, nas três categorias profissionais, apresentaram médias acima da faixa de neutralidade ou indiferença com tendência à valorização positiva. Os fisioterapeutas obtiveram os maiores escores e os enfermeiros os menores. Os achados oferecem subsídios para outras análises que possam manter e/ou melhorar a QV de profissionais.

En analysant le verset 26b du chapitre V du Second Livre des Rois, l'A. cherche s'il faut comprendre que Dieu fait la morale a Israel ou bien s'il faut y voir une prefiguration du rejet que Yahweh aura pour son peuple choisi. Pour repondre a cette interrogation, l'A. procede a une etude comparative entre les deux principales versions contradictoires du texte biblique : la Septante (qui penche vers la premiere interpretation) et la le Texte Massoretique (qui penche pour la seconde). Il commence d'abord par comprendre les causes de cette divine reaction : le peche de Guehazi

In this study, urinary output of both neutral (tribulin) and basic monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity was measured in parkinsonian patients, other neurological patients and controls. No significant differences in output were found between these different groups. In general, tribulin output rose with age, in parallel with known changes in monoamine oxidase B activity.

Forty-four infants were diagnosed as having necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) during a 33 months' period; these represented 4% of all neonatal admissions. An increase in incidence was observed during this period, particularly in low-birth-weight infants weighing under 1,500 g. Perinatal risk factors occurring in infants preceding their onset of NEC are found also to be significantly more common in infants under 1,500 g compared with those between 1,500 and 2,499 g. When the incidence of these clinically associated conditions in infants with NEC are compared with the incidence in infants who did not have NEC in the same birth weight category, a difference can be demonstrated only in 4 out of the 23 analysed: prolonged rupture of membranes with amnionitis; birth asphyxia; hypertonic milk feeds; exchange transfusion. As NEC is possibly a disease of multifactorial aetiology, a multivariant analysis of the data is indicated to define the role of combined perinatal risk factors in the pathogenesis of this disease.

When 23 10-16 week-old Welsh Mountain lambs were treated with PMSG 19 ovulated, the number of eggs ovulated being directly correlated with the duration of progesterone pretreatment (0-5 +/- 0-29 (S.E.M.) after 3 days; 7-8 +/- 3-47 after 18 days). Injection of HCG at the time of the induced oestrus had no effect on ovulation. The eggs shed from immature ovaries became fertilized and developed normally when tested in the ligated rabbit oviduct for development to the morula stage and by transfer to adult ewes (1 live lamb). Luteal function in lambs with a single CL was similar to that in nonpregnant ewes; progesterone levels in entire lambs with multiple CL and in hysterectomized lambs remained elevated for at least 60 days. The capacity of ovarian follicles from PMSG-primed lambs to secrete oestrogen, testosterone and progesterone in vitro was similar to that of follicles from adult ewes. However, oestrogen production by lamb follicles immediately after explantation was higher than that of adult follicles and the administration of progesterone to lambs before PMSG treatment decreased subsequent follicular testosterone production.

Summary: This study evaluated anxiety of 23 patients both in labour and four days after delivery. Anxiety was assessed by use of three questionnaires, the anxiety state score (Spielberger), the manifest anxiety scale (Taylor) and an obstetric anxiety factor questionnaire. Anxiety state intrapartum was significantly higher than that found postpartum. High and low anxiety trait patients reacted differently to labour and the postpartum period, this difference being interpreted in relation to threat to self‐esteem and physical wellbeing. The high anxiety state in labour was associated with fear concerning factors which obstetricians and midwives considered cause anxiety in labour. A high anxiety state in labour was not associated with an increase in the length of labour or poor condition of the baby at birth.

Detection and identification of haemoglobin J Oxford, an alpha chain variant, in a pregnant woman from Sicily is reported. The abnormal fraction was 38% of the total haemoglobin composition. This was unassociated with thalassaemia. The implications of these findings are discussed.
