FOLDED PAPER MULTIPLIES THE RESULT. THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL POTENTIAL OF PAPER IN GRAPHIC DESIGN

[EN] Paper is the base of our creations. It is the most accessible raw material to play, draw and write. It has also been the main tool for graphic communication up until not so long ago. The simplest mechanisms of the origami technique captivate creative people, designers, architects, artists and of course any child, at the same time they synthesize mathematical plots, descriptive geometry and technical drawing. This combination of disciplines, processes and techniques are the key to success for many graphic pieces, their folding and interactivity providing full meaning and conveying ideas.[ES] El papel es el primer soporte de nuestras creaciones, es la materia prima más accesible para jugar, dibujar, escribir, y hasta hace poco ha sido la base principal de la comunicación gráfica. Los mecanismos más simples de la técnica del origami cautivan a creativos, diseñadores, arquitectos, artistas y por supuesto a cualquier niño, al mismo tiempo que sintetizan trazados matemáticos, geometría descriptiva y dibujo técnico. En esta combinación de disciplinas, procesos y técnicas encontramos la clave de cómo el plegado y su interactividad es causa fundamental del éxito de numerosas piezas gráficas, consiguiendo incluso aportar significado y transmitir ideas.Blasco Arnandis, M.

Gum Arabic a superb anti-diarrheal agent

Back ground: Diarrhoea is the second most common cause of death in young children, after pneumonia.Gum Arabic (GA) is a soluble fibre with moderate emulsifying properties that may result in greater accessibility of electrolytes and associated water to the microvillus membrane. Additional work indicated that GA enhanced absorption of the solutes transported by diffusion and does not act via sodium dependent mechanisms.Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Sweetfibre (gum Arabic preparation) as an additive to WHO-ORS in the management of acute diarrhoea in children.Methods: An interventional randomized controlled hospital based clinical trial was performed in OPEH (March to August 2011). One hundred and eighty children presenting with acute none bloody diarrhoea in the absence of severe systemic illnesses were enrolled in the study. These children were divided randomly into two equal groups (study group1 and control group2), their ages ranged between sixand 60 months. The control group received the conventional treatment of diarrhoea according to WHO recommendations and the other group received in addition gum Arabic solution (sweetfibre), 5-10 mg until recovery and continued with 5 mg thereafter. Data were analysed using the SPSS.Results: In the group of children who received gum Arabic; diarrhoea stopped within 24 hours in 90% and 80% were discharged after one day. All of them were improved and discharged within first five days of admission. None of them went into severe dehydration or shock. Only three children developed electrolyte imbalance. The weight at the end of the study increased in 47.8% and decreased in only 5.5%. Sixty one children were followed after 6 weeks only two of them (3.3%) had recurrence of diarrhoea. In the control group diarrhoea stopped within 24 hours in 38.9% and 30% were discharged after one day.10% did not recover during the first five days of admission. Electrolytes imbalance developed in 23.3%, two children developed severe dehydration and one became shocked. The weight decreased in 35.6% and increased in 15.6%. Sixty seven children were followed, 13 (19.4%) of them developed diarrhoea again.Conclusion: Sweetfibre as an additive to WHO-ORS reduces the duration of diarrhoea and hospital stay. It decreases diarrhoea complications and facilitates regaining weight. It has a prebiotic effect in prevention of diarrhoea. All these indicate its potential as a new antidiarrheal therapy for acute diarrhoea in children.Keywords: prebiotic, antidiarrheal, contamination, isonatraemic, isotonic dehydration

The effect of experimental streptococcus infection in myocarditis on some biochemical and inflammatory markers in albino rats

Background: Myocarditis is an uncommon disease that presents with a wide range of symptoms in children and adults. It is histologically characterized by varying degrees of myocardialnecrosis, edema and cellular infiltration myocardial inflammation is a nonspecificresponse to many triggers such as bacterial infection, cardio toxic agents, ormechanical injury.Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the experimental Streptococcus faecalis induction of myocarditis and its effect on some blood parameters, inflammatory markers and histopathological changes in male albino rats.Methods: Rats were infected by intraperitoneal injection of 10 8 CFU/ ml of Streptococcus faecalis and sacrificed after one, two and seven days post infection. Biochemical analyses of blood were carried out to investigate the serum biomarkers of inflammation, liver function tests, cardiac enzymes & kidney function tests.Results: All biochemical analyses showed statistically significant increase in the measured parameters due to bacterial infections except for blood urea which appear to be normal. A significant positive correlation was observed between lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH) with creatinine (r =0.778, PConclusion: Many of these biomarkers will provide important new insights into pathophysiology and aid in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular patients.Keywords: Cardiovascular diseases, Myocarditis, Rat, Streptococcus faecalis, C-reactive proteinAfrican Health Sciences 2013; 13(4): 1062 - 107

Genetic and Non-Genetic Factors Affecting Litter Size and Birth Weight of Rabbit in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria

. Genetic and non-genetic factors influencing litter size and birth weight of rabbit was evaluated using New Zealand White and Chinchilla breeds. Parameters measured were total number of kittens born per litter, number of litter born alive, live litter birth weight and average litter birth weight. Results of the experiment revealed that dam breed had no significant affect on total number of kittens born per litter, number of litter born alive and average litter birth weight while live litter birth weight were affected. Sire breed and month of birth did not significantly influenced all the parameters measured. Heritability estimates were low to moderate for all the traits (0.27 to 0.44), while repeatability estimates were observed to be low (0.17 to 0.26). No heritability and repeatability values were estimated for average litter birth weight of kittens due to negative genetic variance. Significant correlations were found between litter size traits and birth weight. Correlation between litter size traits and average litter birth weight, as well as live litter birth weight and average litter birth weight were observed to be non-significant
