Não há necessidade de investigar os contatos de indivíduos com as formas exclusivamente extra pulmonares de tuberculose, pois esses não transmitem a doença. Os casos de tuberculose laríngea, atualmente pouco frequentes, são uma exceção, pois podem expelir bacilos pela tosse, fala ou espirros. Nesses casos, os contatos também devem ser investigad

4. An Active Search Method for Finding Objects with Near-Optimal Property Values within a Given Set
This paper proposes an active search method aimed at finding objects with optimal or near-optimal y-property values, on the basis of x-variables obtained by indirect, less costly methods. The proposed method progresses in a sequential manner, starting from a small subset of objects with known y-values. At each iteration, the K-nearest neighbour regression te

Leprosy is part of a group of 10 neglected diseases and Bahia has endemic levels of this illness, varying between high and very high. The detection of 52 new cases of leprosy in children under 15 years old in Sal

7. Estrutura e funcionamento dos espermatóforos de Doryteuthis plei (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) e reavaliação da reação espermatofórica dos cefalópodes / Spermatophore structure and functioning in Doryteuthis plei (Mollusca: Cephalopoda), and a reappraisal of the cephalopod spermatophoric reaction
Male coleoid cephalopods produce elaborate spermatophores, which are transferred to the female during mating. These spermatophores are capable of functioning autonomously and extracorporeally, undergoing complicated changes during the so-called spermatophoric reaction, i.e., a complex process of evagination of the spermatophoric tunics and membranes that, ul

11. Study of purine metabolism in a xanthinuric female
A case of xanthinuria is briefly described, and the results of in vivo studies with 14C-labeled oxypurines are discussed. The data demonstrate that the rate of the turnover of uric acid is normal, despite an extremely small uric acid pool. Xanthine and hypoxanthine pools were measured and their metabolism evaluated. The bulk of the daily pool of 276 mg of xa

12. Modeling the impact of global tuberculosis control strategies
An epidemiological model of tuberculosis has been developed and applied to five regions of the world. Globally, 6.7 million new cases of tuberculosis and 2.4 million deaths from tuberculosis are estimated for 1998. Based on current trends in uptake of the World Health Organization’s strategy of directly observed treatment, short-course, we expect a total o
