Congenital Infections: The Reality of a Municipality in Southwestern Goiás


The present work aimed to identify cases of congenital infections up to the first two years of life in a municipality in the southwest of Goiás, considering that they represent an important public health problem, given the indicators of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This is an epidemiological, descriptive, analytical study, investigating cases of congenital infections by consulting the medical records of children treated at a specialty outpatient clinic in the city. A Chi-Square test of independence was performed to investigate the association between diagnosed diseases and the variables pregnancy history, period of diagnosis and maternal age. The results indicate that women with a maternal age between 20 and 30 years are 4.19 times more likely (95% CI: 1.14 - 15.45) to be diagnosed with syphilis compared to those with a maternal age younger than 20 years.

Therefore, maternal age is considered a factor significantly associated with the diagnosis of congenital syphilis, with mothers between 20 and 30 years old, resulting from several factors, such as prenatal care practices, exposure to risk factors and reproductive behavior. These findings highlight the importance of specific interventions for the prevention and early diagnosis of syphilis in young mothers.

 Sustainable Development: Reality Or Myth? Since the United Nations Environment Conference in Stockholm (1972), the concept of sustainable development has steadily made its way among individual scientists and international organizations. The apotheosis of this development was the adoption by the United Nations in 2015 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, many scientists and politicians were skeptical about the concept of sustainable development, since the results of implementing sustainable development in different countries were far from expected. Many decisions taken at the level of the UN and other international organizations turned out to be unfulfilled. In my opinion, as well as some other Russian scientists, the concept of sustainable development is an unrealistic project, it is a myth, although it is very positive and humane. Sustainable development goals can be achieved only by the most economically developed countries entering the era of post-industrialism. In...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...
