Management in primary health care: discourses about the search for respiratory symptomatics of tuberculosis
ABSTRACT The study aimed to analyze the discourse of Primary Health Care managers about the search for respiratory symptomatics as an epidemiological surveillance action of tuberculosis. A qualitative study was undertaken, guided by the theoretical and analytical framework of French Discourse Analysis. Data were produced in May 2012 through semi-structured interviews with 14 subjects. Two discursive blocks were produced: marks of power in the execution of the search for respiratory symptomatics; resistance strategies in the search for respiratory symptomatics. Discursive positions were grounded in the traditional managemen...

In glaucoma patients, low blood pressure is accompanied by vascular dysregulation
ConclusionsIn glaucoma patients, vascular dysregulation (as defined by response in the nailfold capillaroscopy to a cold provocation) and low BP are statistically related. This is in line with the observation that Flammer syndrome subjects have both primary vascular dysregulation and low BP and that Flammer syndrome is a risk factor for glaucomatous optic neuropathy, at least in normal tension glaucoma patients. The detection of vascular factors in glaucoma patients may lead to a more efficient treatment, better tailored to the individual patient.

Usefulness of web search queries for early detection of diseases in infants
This study evaluates the usefulness of web searches in predicting diseases in order to encourage guardians to consult a doctor promptly if their children are ill. We collected six months of search queries from Yahoo! JAPAN Search between October 2016 and March 2017. Using a machine learning model, we investigated the accuracy of the search query's ability to predict the diagnosis of biliary atresia and hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Both diseases were modeled with an accuracy of approximately 80%, and symptoms related to the disease were significant features in the model. These findings suggest the possibility of detecting...
