Multi-parasite infection in an immigrant from Ghana: Potential for new epidemic foci
No full textIntroduction: Imported parasitosis, which do not require an invertebrate vector, are extremely dangerous and can lead to the occurrence of disease in currently parasite free areas. In the present study we report a case of multi-parasitic infection in a young immigrant from Ghana to Italy caused by filaria, Schistosoma sp. and Strongyloides sp. Case presentation: A 27-year-old Ghanaian man attended the Hospital of Nuoro (Sardinia), Italy, at the end of August 2015, claiming pain to the kidney and hypertensive crisis; the patient presented with dyspnea and epistaxis, chronic itchy skin of the back, shoulders, arms and legs, anuria and high creatinine, metabolic acidosis and hypereosinophilic syndrome. Serological test for parasitic infections were done, and showed a marked positivity for filaria, Schistosoma sp. and Strongyloides sp. The patient started the treatment immediately with two doses per day of Bassado Antibiotic (tetracycline) for twenty days and then with a single dose of 3 mg of ivermectin that was repeated after 3 months. Conclusions: Immigrant patients from endemic areas who show clinical signs, such as a general itching on the back, shoulders and arms and legs, should have a thorough history in order to make early diagnosis and prevent further complications. Therefore, general practitioners and doctors in Europe and in other parasitosis non-endemic countries, should consider to test for parasites in any immigrant from endemic countries to aid in establishing the final diagnosis and prevent further complications
A prática pedagógica da escrita: para além da gramática
No full textWriting a text is closely related to creative imagination, freedom of expression, and communicattion of meaning by means of language. When students are invited to write in the classroom, attention to grammatical correctness often takes the place of imagination, expression and meaning attribution, leaving no room for subtle significations expressing subjective lived experiences. We analyse two texts written by a student, with the goal of applying knowledge from Anthropology and Analitical Psychology. Although they present some grammatical problems and apparent simplicity, they convey meanings and lived experiences of the author. We stress that writing is mostly one way of bringing the interpretation of subjective lived experiences to the objectivity of the external world, finding their way in oral or written language.A escrita de um texto diz respeito muito mais a uma imaginação criadora, a uma liberdade de expressão, a uma possibilidade de inscrição de sentidos que se utilizam da linguagem para serem ditos. Quando os alunos são convidados a escrever, nas aulas de redação, a preocupação com a correção gramatical sobrepõe-se aos significados que o texto poderia ter, sobretudo àquelas significações mais sutis, que expressariam conteúdos mais vivenciais e internos de quem escreve. Com o objetivo de aplicar os conhecimentos advindos de estudos antropológicos e da psicologia analítica, buscamos analisar duas redações, de um mesmo autor, procurando ver nelas, apesar de elas apresentarem alguns problemas gramaticais e uma aparente pobreza na escrita, uma significação que diz respeito a seu autor e aos momentos de vida que estão sendo vividos. É preciso lembrar que escrever é, antes de tudo, uma forma de trazer para a objetividade do mundo exterior, a interpretação de vivências subjetivas que, para serem comunicadas, precisam encontrar caminhos na linguagem tanto oral quanto escrita
