    Uma das medidas que antecedem a atuação sobre o território está em conhecê-lo e tal conhecimento é possível de ser obtido por meio de uma caracterização que leve em consideração os aspectos quantitativos da região. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma caracterização socioeconômica da região do Marambaia em Ponta Porã. Para atingir tal intento foram utilizados os dados do Censo Demográfico do IBGE. Constatou-se que dos onze setores censitários que compõe a região do Marambaia, tem-se que dois concentram mais de 50% daqueles com renda domiciliar per capita de até 1/8 de salário mínimo. Também nota-se que cinco setores acumulam 75% dos domicílios com renda per capita domiciliar de 1/8 a 1/4 de salário mínimo per capita. Já na faixa de renda de 1/4 a 1/2 de salário mínimo per capita tem-se que 25% dos setores censitários concentram mais de 50% dos domicílios. Também observou-se que três setores censitários apresentam um maior quantitativo de domicílios com renda per capita de até 1/2 salário mínimo. Os dados podem subsidiar o direcionamento locacional de políticas públicas governamentais em termos de saúde, educação e assistência social e estratégias empresariais de comércio de produtos e serviços. &nbsp

    Analysis of multiple candidate genes in association with phenotypes of multiple sclerosis

    Multiple sclerosis is a heterogeneous neurological disease with varying degrees of severity. The common hypothesis is that susceptibility to multiple sclerosis and its phenotype are caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. The genetic part exerts its effect through several genes, each having modest effects. We evaluated whether disease severity could be predicted by a model based on clinical data and data from a DNA chip. The DNA chip was designed containing several single nucleotide polymorphisms in 44 genes, previously described to be associated with multiple sclerosis. A total of 605 patients with multiple sclerosis were included in this analysis, using gender, onset type and age at onset as clinical covariates. We correlated 80 single nucleotide polymorphisms to the degree of disease severity using the following three outcome measures: linear Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score, dichotomous Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (using a cut-off point of 2.5) and time to reach Expanded Disability Status Scale score 6. Sixty-nine single nucleotide polymorphisms were included in the analysis. No individual single nucleotide polymorphism showed a significant association; however, a combination of single nucleotide polymorphisms significantly improved the prediction of disease severity in addition to the clinical variables. In all three models the Interleukin 2 gene was included, confirming a previously reported modest effect on disease severity. The highest power was obtained using the dichotomized Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score as outcome. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms showed their added predictive value over the clinical data in the predictive models. These results support our hypothesis that disease severity is determined by clinical variables and genetic influences (through several genes with small effects) in concert. © The Author(s) 2010
