    Visitor Effects on Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)

    Understanding visitor effects is vital to successful husbandry of great apes. Considering the unique difficulties that come from housing bachelor groups of gorillas in zoos it is vital to be able to address any behavioral concerns brought about by complications of visitor effects. Five male western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) were observed at the St. Louis Zoo between June and July 2014. Data were collected on gorilla activity as well as interactions between visitors and the gorillas. Visitors were classified by their perceived size, age, gender, race, and the type of behavior they were participating in (innocuous, negative, or positive). Age was significantly related with rates of disruptive behaviors. Likewise, perceived race was significantly related to visitor behavior. Size was a significant factor in predicting the type of motivational behavior of a visitor. Sex was insignificant as a predictor of whether or not the individual will provoke a response from the gorilla. Visitors overwhelmingly participated in negative behaviors (i.e. knocking and yelling) for 56% of samples. Visitors also perpetuate heteronormative perspectives while they interpret the bachelor group’s familial makeup. In the future, improvements in education and marketing zoos as places of conservation instead of fun parks could create less disruptive patrons. With regard to animal husbandry, rotating which gorillas are on exhibit could help with the fission/fusion patterns of bachelor groups that are not being met in captive environments. Another possibility is using ambient, naturalistic sounds inside of the gorilla habitats to habituate their auditory expectations and, as such, reduce the effects of disruptive visitors.</p

    Factores de riesgo para infección del tracto urinario adquiridos en la comunidad por microorganismos productores de Blee en niños en el Hospital Nacional Ramiro Prialé Prialé, 2017-2018

    Trabajo académicoLa prevalencia de las infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU) adquiridos en la comunidad por microorganismos productores de betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE) está en incremento en la última década en la población pediátrica. Objetivo.- Determinar los factores de riesgo para infección del tracto urinario adquiridos en la comunidad por microorganismos productores de BLEE en niños en el Hospital Nacional Ramiro Priale Priale – Huancayo, periodo 2017 – 2018. Materiales y métodos.- Estudio de tipo observacional, analítico con un diseño de caso control, se ejecutó en el servicio de pediatría del Hospital Nacional Ramiro Priale Priale – Huancayo, en un periodo de 2 años, hallando 35 casos de niños con infección del trato urinario por microrganismos BLEE positivos y se eligió 70 controles niños con infección del trato urinario por microrganismos BLEE negativo para una relación de 1:2. El análisis estadístico se realizó en SPSS v26. Resultados.- La prevalencia de ITU BLEE positivo es de 15,9%, los factores de riesgo estadísticamente significativas son la hospitalización previa con un p = 0,009 y OR = 3.059; IC 95%; 1.304 – 7.174, ITU complicada con un p = 0,0 y OR = 10.947; IC 95%: 3.548 – 33.781 y la ITU recurrente con un p = 0,004 y un OR = 3.431; IC 95%: 1.46 – 8.06. Los factores de riesgo no significativos fueron el uso previo de antibióticos con un p = 0,057 y OR = 2,26; IC: 95%: 0,968 – 5,280 y las malformaciones congénitas renovesicales con un p = 0,861 y OR = 1.096; IC 95%: 0.394 – 3.052. Discusiones.- La prevalencia de ITU BLEE positivo es muy similar en diversos estudios, dentro de los factores de riesgo el uso previo de antibióticos no es significativo en comparación con los diversos estudios que reportan como un factor de riesgo alto, los demás factores estudiados son parecidos a diversos estudios. Conclusión.- Los factores de riesgo estadísticamente significativas son la hospitalización previa, la ITU complicada y la ITU recurrente

    Managing Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Precipitated by Anesthesia-assisted Rapid Opioid Detoxification: A Case Report

    No full text
    Introduction: Anesthesia-assisted rapid opioid detoxification (AAROD) is a controversial method of treating opioid dependence that involves sedating patients during a period of provoked withdrawal. Reported adverse outcomes of the procedure demonstrate the importance of recognizing the potential complications of AAROD.Case Presentation: We present a case of a 41-year-old male presenting with a subarachnoid hemorrhage following an AAROD procedure.Conclusion: This case report and discussion reviews the pathophysiology of opioid withdrawal syndrome, potential complications following AAROD, and important management considerations
