Background Considering the limited accuracy of clinical examination for early diagnosis rheumatic heart disease ( RHD ), echocardiography has emerged as an important epidemiological tool. The ideal setting screening is yet to be defined. We aimed evaluate prevalence and pattern latent in schoolchildren (aged 5–18 years) compare effectiveness between public schools, private primary care centers Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods Results PROVAR (Rheumatic Valve Disease Screening Program) study uses...

Abstract Two bioreactors were investigated as an alternative to post-treatment of effluent from upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating domestic sewage, with aim oxidizing sulfide into elemental sulfur, and removal solid organic material. The operated at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) (6, 4, 2 h) in the presence or absence (control) packing material (polypropylene rings). Greater efficiencies – 75% (control reactor) 92% (packed achieved both reactors for HRT 6 h....

This study aimed at evaluating the microaeration as an alternative for hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas of UASB reactors treating sewage. The set-up consisted two pilot-scale reactors, including a conventional anaerobic and modified reactor, operated under microaerated conditions. Air was supplied in digestion zone, 1 3 m bottom three different air flows were investigated: 10, 20, 30 mL.min-1, corresponding to 0.003, 0.005 LO2/Linfluent, respectively. main results showed that provided...

Introduction: Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil other low- middle-income countries (LMIC). Lack public awareness the causes prevention RHD limit efficacy primary secondary programs. Objectives: To evaluate knowledge transfer that results from a structured public-school educational program on RHD. Methods: A prospective, cohort study was conducted over 7 months (9/2014-3/2015) 5 randomly selected low-income schools Belo Horizonte,...
