Sobre el denotar

Entiendo por ‘frase denotativa’ una frase como cualquiera de las siguientes: un hombre, algún hombre, cualquier hombre, cada hombre, todos\ud los hombres, el actual rey de Inglaterra, el actual rey de Francia, el centro de masa del sistema solar en el primer instante del siglo XX, la revolución de la Tierra alrededor del Sol, la revolución del Sol alrededor de la Tierra. Así, una frase es denotativa exclusivamente en virtud de su forma. Podemos distinguir tres casos: (1) Una frase puede ser denotativa y, sin embargo, no denotar nada; por ejemplo, ‘el actual rey de Francia; (2) una frase puede denotar un objeto definido; por ejemplo, ‘el actual rey de Inglaterra’ denota a un hombre determinado; (3) una frase puede denotar ambiguamente; por ejemplo, ‘un hombre’ no denota a muchos hombres, sino a un hombre indeterminado

Urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS) and female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) in Cameroon: an observational assessment of key reproductive health determinants of girls and women in the Matta Health Area

Objectives and setting: Across sub-Saharan Africa, urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS), in particular female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), is a significant waterborne parasitic disease, with its direct burden on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of sufferers infrequently measured. UGS has an established control plan, which in most endemic regions as in Cameroon, still excludes FGS considerations. Highlighting existent associations between UGS and FGS could increase the management of FGS within UGS interventions. This study seeks to identify current associations among FGS and UGS with some reproductive health indicators, to provide formative information for better integrated control. Participants: 304 females aged 5–69 years were all examined for UGS by urine filtration and microscopy. Among these, 193 women and girls were eligible for clinical FGS assessment based on age (>13). After selective questioning for FGS symptoms, a subgroup of 67 women and girls consented for clinical examination for FGS using portable colposcopy, with observed sequelae classified according to the WHO FGS pocket atlas. Outcome: Overall UGS and FGS prevalence was measured, with FGS-related/UGS-related reproductive health symptoms recorded. Associations between FGS and UGS were investigated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: Overall UGS prevalence was 63.8% (194/304), where FGS prevalence (subgroup) was 50.7% (34/67). FGS manifestation increased significantly with increasing age, while a significant decrease with ascending age was observed for UGS. Lower abdominal pain (LAP) vaginal itches (VI) and coital pain (CP) were identified as the main significant shared symptoms of both FGS and UGS, while LAP with menstrual irregularity (MI) appeared a strong symptomatic indicator for FGS. Conclusion: LAP, MI, CP and VI are the potential SRH indicators that could be exploited in future for targeting of praziquantel provision to FGS sufferers within primary care, complementary with existing praziquantel distribution for UGS sufferers in Schistosoma haematobium endemic areas
