Salvador, BA, Brasil manguezal previamente indene e determinar a prevalência da infecção canina sugerindo alguns fatores de risco associados a esta infecção. O estudo foi realizado no município de Salinas da Margarida, Bahia. Ao todo foram avaliados 558 cães, revelando uma prevalência de infecção em cães de 10%. Os dados foram colhidos através de questionários padronizados e previamente testados. A sorologia foi feita utilizando-se teste imunoenzimático (ELISA), e os cães soropositivos foram eliminados. As variáveis que apresentaram correlação com a infecção canina nas análises ajustadas para idade e multivariada foram: presença de raposas no peridomicílio, idade do cão, local onde o cão dormia e hábito de banhar o cão freqüentemente. The objective of this study was to evaluate an outbreak of visceral leishmaniasis in a saltwater marsh area without previous cases and to determine the prevalence of canine infection, suggesting potential risk factors associated with this infection. The study was carried out at the city of Salinas da Margarida, Bahia. We examined 558 dogs, yielding a prevalence of infection of 10%. The data were gathered using a standardized questionnaire, previously tested. The sorology was done using an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA), and all seropositive dogs for anti-Leishmania antibodies were promptly eliminated. The variables associated with6 canine infection in the age-adjusted or multivariate analyses were: presence of foxes in the neighborhood, dog’s age, place where the dog sleeps and habit of bathing the dog frequently.

Abstract

Background: The importance of tight blood glucose control among outpatients with diabetes mellitus is well established, however, the management of diabetes in the hospital setting is generally considered secondary in importance. This study sought to assess glycemic control and diabetes management in adult patients admitted to hospitals in Brazil., Methods: A cross-sectional and nationwide survey was conducted from July 2010 to January 2012. Eligible cases were 18 years of age or older, had a diagnosis of diabetes and a hospitalization length of stay ≥72 hours. Socio-demographic information, hospitalization details, and data on diabetes diagnosis, management and treatment were collected for all patients by chart review. Information on all blood glucose (BG) readings for a maximum of 20 consecutive days of hospitalization was recorded for each patient., Results: Overall, 2,399 patients were surveyed in 24 hospitals located in 13 cities from all five Brazilian regions. The prevalence of patients presenting hyperglycemic (BG >180 mg/dL) or hypoglycemic (BG <70 mg/dL) events was 89.4% and 30.9% in patients in general wards, and 88.2% and 27.7% in those in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), respectively. In addition, a BG measure >180 mg/dL was recorded in two-thirds of the patient-days. A high proportion of patients were treated with sliding-scale insulin regimen alone in the general wards (52.0%) and in the ICUs (69.2%), and only 35.7% and 3.9% received appropriate insulin therapy in general wards (basal + bolus insulin) and in ICUs (continuous IV insulin), respectively., Conclusions: Inpatient glycemic control and diabetes management needs improvement. Opportunities to improve care in Brazilian hospitals include expanded use of intravenous insulin and subcutaneous basal-bolus insulin protocols, avoiding use of sliding-scale insulin alone, increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring, and institution wide quality improvement efforts targeting both physician and nursing behavior.
