Abstract We analyzed the nutritional status of urban and rural schoolchildren from Mendoza (Argentina), but avoided categorization by generating subpopulations as a function their socioenvironmental characteristics. transformed weight height data into z ‐scores using CDC/NCHS growth charts; defined underweight, stunting, wasting less than −2 SD; calculated overweight obesity, according to cutoff proposed International Obesity Task Force. Socioenvironmental characteristics included housing,...
Aim: to analyze the secular changes in body size and composition of two cohorts children from La Plata City, Argentina, with a 35-year follow-up.Subjects methods: Cohort 1 (C1) was measured 1969-1970 included 1772 (889 boys, 883 girls), 2 (C2), 2004-2005, 1059 (542 517 girls).Both were obtained matching geographical areas comprised 4 12 years.Body weight (W); Height (H); Upper arm circumference (UAC); Tricipital (TS)and Subscapular skinfolds (SS) measured, Body Mass Index (BMI) muscle (UMA)...
Background: Nutritional transition has been described in various countries, each showing inherent characteristics. Furthermore, different patterns also appear within the same country.Aim: To compare nutritional status of schoolchildren, both sexes, living two Argentine cities with urban and environment characteristics, from perspective transition.Subjects methods: The sample comprised 5355 children (6–13 years) Puerto Madryn (Chubut) General Alvear (Mendoza), Argentina. Weight height were...
Purpose: This paper analysed the clinical characteristics, social insertion and functional limitations in patients with leprosy. They were evaluated a university hospital southeast Brazil between 1998 2013. Methods: One hundred thirty six leprosy (aged 12–82 years) participated cross-sectional descriptive study after discharge from multidrug therapy treatment. Clinical evaluations characterisation of restrictions to involvement, through SALSA (Screening Activity Limitation Safety Awareness)...
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the physical growth schoolchildren from Argentina by comparison with CDC/NCHS and Argentinean references (AGR), contribute discussion about use local or international for assessment in developing countries. Weight height were measured 3,411 aged 5–14 years. Data log‐transformed compared both paired samples t ‐test (CI = 0.95; α 0.005). boys' weights greater than (up 10, at 14 years old) national reference all ages ( P < girls also heavier (at 7...
Human myiasis is the parasitism of human tissues by fly larvae. Diagnoses are based on clinical pattern tissue damage and presence insect stages. Herein, a case described in seven-year-old female child. She presented with fever associated abscessed scalp lesions containing exposed Severe pediculosis was also observed. The patient hospitalized treated clindamycin, gentamicin (for bacterial secondary infections) ivermectin (treatment for lice) after which showed improvement discharged four...

Introduction: Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is widely recognized as an adequate indicator of nutritional status.Objective: To estimate the reference percentiles for MUAC, upper muscle area (UAMA), and fat (UAFA) in Argentine child adolescent population using LMS method (lambda, mu, sigma) Materials methods: The sample was made up schoolchildren aged 4.0-13.9years living Jujuy, Catamarca, Misiones, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Chubut.MUAC tricipital skinfold anthropometric measurements were...
Traditional tools and software for social network analysis are seldom scalable and/or fast. This paper provides an overview of R package called fastnet, a tool fast simulating analyzing large-scale networks. fastnet uses multi-core processing random node or node-pair sampling algorithms to scale-up as well speedup (a) simulation using such Erdos-Renyi, Barabasi-Albert Watts-Strogatz; (b) estimation metrics average path length clustering coefficient. Simple examples, usages, comparisons...
The goal of this study was to analyse the effect growth hormone (GH) on catch-up functional facial (splanchnocranial) and neurocranial components in rats with intrauterine retardation (IUGR). Wistar were divided into following groups: control (C), sham-operated (SH), IUGR, IUGR + GH. surgically induced GH administered between 21 60 days age. Radiographs obtained at 1, 21, 42, 63, 84 age order measure length, width, height neurocranium (NL, NW, NH) face (FL, FW, FH). Analysis variance...
Background: mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), subcutaneous fat and muscle measurements are an alternative method to diagnose overweight evaluate growth as well protein energy reserves. Aim: compare MUAC, area (AMA) (AFA) of Argentinean boys girls (Sa) with reference curves for US (R). Subjects methods: data from 22,736 school-children aged 4-14 years six provinces were collected. MUAC triceps skinfold thickness measured the derived AMA AFA measures calculated. Analyses performed GAMLSS...
This paper presents a restricted maximum likelihood-based algorithm to estimate who influences whose opinions and what degree when agents share their over large online social networks such as Twitter. The proposed uses multi-core processing distributed computing provide scalable solution the optimization problems are in scale; network with 10,000 average connectivity of 100 requires estimates about 1 million parameters. A computational study is then used show that efficient robust full rank...
En estudios anuales sobre el fitoplancton realizados en la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM), costa caribe colombiana, 1987 y 1995, los que se hicieron análisis cualitativos cuantitativos establecieron las relaciones con variables fisicoquímicas, entre ellas salinidad, concluyó variación del diámetro Actinocyclus normanii está ligada a salinidad agua. Así, células pequeñas generan cuando baja durante estación lluviosa, grandes lo hacen incrementa, seca. Las son resultado reproducción...
