Although heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) is one of the most economically important tick-borne diseases of sub-Saharan Africa, its epidemiology he's remained poorly understood until recently. New data, suggesting that heartwater is present in an endemically stable state in much of sub-Saharan Africa and demonstrating vertical transmission of Cowdria ruminantium in the field, have altered previously accepted views on heartwater epidemiology. In this paper, Sharon Deem and colleagues present an overview of the epidemiology of heartwater based on recent studies, discuss the factors that make endemic stability possible, make recommendations for future directions in research, and provide a foundation for the development of epidemiological models.
RESUMO
The authors evaluated hemodialysis as a treatment for schizophrenia in an uncontrolled study of 11 patients. Eight men and two women with chronic schizophrenia who had responded poorly to conventional treatments or who had sought alternate treatments received three dialyses weekly for 3 weeks; 1 additional subject dropped out after eight treatments. MMPI, Psychiatric Status Scale, and Inpatient Multidimensional Psychiatric Scale scores were obtained before, immediately following, and at intervals after the nine treatments. Preliminary results, including 1-month follow-up, suggest that subjects with pretreatment anxiety and depression improved. No endorphins were discovered in the dialysate.
