A retrospective study

Funding Information: The authors thank technicians, Clinicians, and staff members from the Instituto Nacional de Investigação em Saúde (INIS), Direcção Nacional de Saúde Pública (DNSP), World Health Organization (WHO), and Médecins Sans Frontières for their technical support and assistance. Orçamento Geral de Estado (State General Budget) 2022 was allocated to the National Institute for Health Research (INIS) through the Ministry of Health, Angola. The funding agency was not involved in the design of the study, the gathering, analysis, and interpretation of the data, the writing of the manuscript, or the decision to submit the manuscript for publication.

Angola experienced a yellow fever virus (YFV) outbreak that was documented in December 2015. However, little is known about the outcome of this outbreak. We aimed to demonstrate epidemic features and lessons learned during the YF epidemic in Angola. Methods: A total of 4618 blood samples from suspected YF cases were sent to the Instituto Nacional de Investigação em Saúde (INIS), a national referral and public health laboratory, between December 5, 2015, and December 23, 2016. Sample analyses were conducted using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Blood samples were sent from 16 out of the 18 provinces of Angola. Results: We detected 884 (19.1%) cases that were positive for ELISA, which were confirmed by RT-PCR assay. Considering the positive cases, the incidence among male patients was around three times higher (n = 223; 10.9%) than in female patients (n = 59; 2.6%) in the 20–29 age group, followed by the age group 10–19 with n = 211 (6.8%) in males versus n = 108 (3.3%) in females; and the age group 30–39 had n = 68 (4.8%) in males versus n = 28 (1.8%) in females. The other groups had an incidence below 3.0%. The case fatality ratio for YF was in young adults in the age group 20–29 with n = 39 cases, followed by the age group 10–19 with n = 16 cases, and finally the age group 0–9 with n = 13 cases. The other age groups had several deaths by YF below 10 cases. Conclusions: This study demonstrates features of the YF epidemic that occurred in Angola. Also, it demonstrates that YF causes deaths in young people but is preventable by high vaccine coverage. Thus, public health laboratory surveillance must be strengthened to reduce the possibility of emerging and re-emerging human infections.publishersversionpublishe

The use of facebook as a propeller in the teaching/learning process of english as a second language with eighth graders at a public institution in Armenia, Quindio

Considering the multiple advantages and benefits offered by the use of different multimedia resources in all fields including education, there is a great deal of research that demonstrates the effectiveness of information and communication technologies (ICT’S) in teaching/learning processes, despite the fact that various studies can be found that support the use of ICT’s in education, there are still many teachers who continue to use traditional methods during their lessons, wasting the advantages of these multimedia resources, just as they do not take into account the knowledge that young people have about technology, since they have grown up in a digital age in which they can interact daily with different electronic devices. This research precisely evidences the problem that entails not using dynamic strategies in the English L2 methodology focused on oral production area.IntroductionResearch problemRationalePregradoLicenciado en Lenguas Moderna
