RESUMO

The aim of this work was to investigate and compare the phenolic profile of 15 wild growing blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.) genotypes from the slopes of Fruska Gora mountain in north Serbia. Their effect in inhibiting i) α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities and ii) colorectal cancer cell line (HT29) growth was also studied. Blackthorn fruit extracts exhibited high phenolic content being enrich in anthocyanins. Principal component analysis was used to correlate the bioactive response with phenolic composition. It was found that derivatives quercetin and anthocyanin peonidin are the major contributors of the inhibition of carbohydrates hydrolyzing enzymes as well as with the antiproliferative effect of blackthorn. Among all samples, the genotype from Beska locality showed the higher capacity in inhibiting alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and HT29 cell growth. Because of high anthocyanin content and higher bioactive response, these genotypes could be recommended for the further cultivation and investigation.

RESUMO

The availability of feasible methods for hydrogen storage is one of the key-maybe the key-requirements for the large scale application of PEM fuel cells in cars. There are in principle four different approaches, i.e. cryostorage in liquid form, high pressure storage, storage in the form of a chemical compound which is converted to hydrogen by on-board reforming, or reversible chemical storage in different kinds of storage materials. New developments in the field of chemical storage make such systems attractive compared to the other options. This review will discuss the different possibilities for chemical storage of hydrogen and the focus on the presently most advanced system with respect to storage capacity and kinetics, i.e. catalyzed alanates, especially NaAlH(4).

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Registration of patients with a physician is increasingly being considered across Canada as part of a reform of the primary health care system. This study aims to determine how much 'informal registration' currently exists; that is, to identify the number/proportion of patients who, given existing utilization patterns, already receive the majority of their care from one practice, in order to assess the potential for formal registration. METHODS: Administrative data were used to classify patients (n = 528,905) as being informally registered with a clinic if they received the majority of their care (75% or more of their total ambulatory visits) from the same practice over a three-year period (1994-1996). The proportion and number of informally registered patients were examined. RESULTS: Substantial variability emerged across practices in the proportion of informally registered patients (15-68%) and the number of informally registered patients per physician (544-1378 patients per full-time equivalent physician). Informal registration was higher among rural practices (60%) than among urban practices (38%). CONCLUSIONS: While formal registration of patients with physicians is increasingly being considered in Canada as a means to improve the primary care system, the potential disruption to both patients and physicians in moving towards registration should not be underestimated. The relatively low levels of existing informal registration suggest a need to enhance access by, for example, providing after-hours services.

RESUMO

This study was designed to describe patient characteristics associated with having a regular source of care among all patients who received care from large urban clinics in Manitoba over a three-year period (N = 298,222). Using administrative data, patients were classified as having a regular source of care if they made 75% or more of their total ambulatory visits to the same clinic. Overall, 44.2% of patients had a regular source of care. A logistic regression showed that children and adults aged 45 and older were more likely to have a regular source of care than patients aged 18-44. Moreover, patients with a regular source of care tended to live in more affluent neighbourhoods and were healthier than individuals with no regular source of care. Systemic changes might be needed to enhance continuity of care (e.g., mechanisms to enhance access) among vulnerable segments of the population like the poor.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation worked in support of a provincial Physician Resource Committee to address questions pertinent to assessing Manitoba's supply of specialist physicians. RESEARCH DESIGN: Because there was no direct method of determining whether the province's supply of specialists was adequate, three types of evidence were reviewed: the supply of specialists relative to recommended population/physician ratios; the supply of specialists relative to other Canadian provinces; and the level of care delivered by specialists in Manitoba relative to other provinces. Four additional questions were addressed: is a problem developing from the aging of Manitoba's specialist physicians? and will the supply of specialists be sufficient to keep up with the aging of the population? How well do specialists serve as a provincial resource? and how well do specialists serve high-need populations?

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation (MCHPE) collaborated with a provincially-appointed Physician Resource Committee in an assessment of provincial physician resources. RESEARCH DESIGN: Beginning with map-based analyses of physician supply and contacts across the province, compared with the health and socioeconomic characteristics of local populations, the study moved to a needs-based, regression-based approach to physician resource planning. RESULTS: The results challenged the popular belief that Manitoba suffers from an increasing shortage of physicians. A handful of high-need, low-supply and low-use areas are identified, as is the expensive surplus of generalist physicians in Winnipeg. (Generalist physicians include general and family practitioners as well as general internists and pediatricians.) No relationship between physician supply and health characteristics of populations, or between high physician supply and low hospital use patterns were found. Given the Committee's interest in what drives high physician contact rates, analyses of visit patterns of hypertensive patients were undertaken. We found that patients who had more complex medical conditions made more contacts, but that after controlling for this and other key patient characteristics, the patient's primary care physician's patient recall rate was a strong influence on how frequently visits were made.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: University-based researchers in Manitoba, Canada, have used administrative data routinely collected as part of the national health insurance plan to design an integrated database and population-based health information system. This information system is proving useful to policymakers for answering such questions as: Which populations need more physician services? Which need fewer? Are high-risk populations poorly served? or do they have poor health outcomes despite being well served? Does high utilization represent overuse? or is it related to high need? More specifically, this system provides decision makers with the capability to make critical comparisons across regions and subregions of residents' health status, socioeconomic risk characteristics and use of hospitals, nursing homes, and physicians. The system permits analyses of demographic changes, expenditure patterns, and hospital performance in relation to the population served. The integrated database has also facilitated outcomes research across hospitals and countries, utilization review within a single hospital, and longitudinal research on health reform. The discussion highlights the strengths of integrated population-based information in analyzing the health care system and raising important questions about the relationship between health care and health.

The system permits analyses of demographic changes, expenditure patterns, and hospital performance in relation to the population served. The integrated database has also facilitated outcomes research across hospitals and counties, utilization review within a single hospital, and longitudinal research on health reform. A particularly interesting application to planning physician supply and distribution is discussed. The discussion highlights the strengths of integrated population-based information in analyzing the health care system and raising important questions about the relationship between health care and health.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To illustrate the use of needs-based planning in the identification of physician surpluses and deficits and of resource misallocations within a provincial medical system at a time when provincial governments and medical associations across the country are faced with funding constraints for physician services. DESIGN: For each of 4 regions in Manitoba, the authors analysed residents' rates of physician visits (whether within the resident's own or another region). Residents' need for physician contact was estimated by means of a statistical analysis of the data on contacts in relation to age, sex and health-related indicators, and the rates of visits needed and actually made were compared. PARTICIPANTS: All Manitoba residents. OUTCOME MEASURES: Numbers of generalist physicians (general practitioners, family physicians, general internists and general pediatricians) needed to serve each region, and the extent of physician surplus and deficit in each region. RESULTS: There appeared to be a surplus of physicians in most of urban Manitoba but deficits in northern Manitoba and some parts of the rural south. General internists and general pediatricians in Winnipeg provide a significant part of the ambulatory care that is provided by general practitioners in other parts of the province. The provincial government currently spends more per resident to provide physician services in areas of physician surplus than in areas of physician deficit, although the patterns are inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS: Needs-based planning is possible. If provinces are intent on controlling physician numbers and expenditures, it makes sense to manage the implications of doing so.

RESUMO

University-based researchers in Manitoba, Canada, have used administrative data routinely collected as part of the national health insurance plan to design a population-based health information system (POPULIS). Decision-makers can use this system to make critical comparisons across regions of residents' health status, socioeconomic risk characteristics, and use of hospitals, nursing homes, and physicians. Policy makers have found this information system useful in providing answers to questions they are often asked: Which populations need more physician services? Which need fewer? Are high-risk populations poorly served or do they have poor health outcomes despite being well served? Does high utilization represent overuse or is it related to high need? Three commentaries follow.

RESUMO

The total use and cost of nursing homes in Manitoba, for the fiscal year 1991/1992 were analyzed using a population-based health information system. The use of hospital beds by elderly patients for stays of 60 days or more was also analyzed to see if long hospital stays were substituting for nursing home beds. More than one in ten Manitobans 75 years of age and older and one in three who were 85 years and older resided in a nursing home for some time during the study period. The nursing home sector is characterized by none of the marked differences previously found in hospital use across the southern regions of the province, whose residents are similar in health and need characteristics. A single entry system, combined with a population-based planning approach, appears to provide equitable access to care across the province.

RESUMO

A case of Werner's syndrome in a 39-year-old man is described. PPD and trichophytin intradermally proved negative; the percentage of T-lymphocytes and the lymphocyte response to PHA were reduced. Cellular immune reactions seem to have been impaired in this case.
