Intestinal helminths in dogs and cats on the Antillian Islands Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire.

An investigation into the prevalence, identity and size of population of intestinal helminths in dogs and cats was carried out in the Dutch Antillian Islands, Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba during April and May 1974. Ninety-one dogs and 83 cats were examined. In all, 4,824 helminths were isolated and identified. The following species were isolated from dogs: Dipylidium caninum (most frequent), Ancylostoma caninum (frequent in Curaçao), Toxocara, Taenia hydatigena and Ancylostoma braziliense. Species isolated from cats: Dipylidium caninum (most frequent) Ancylostoma tubaeforme (frequent in Curaçao)

Uma Tori! Evaluation of an STI/HIV-prevention intervention for Afro-Caribbean women in the Netherlands.

OBJECTIVE: This study describes the effectiveness of 'Uma Tori', an STI/HIV-prevention intervention for women of Afro-Surinamese and Dutch Antillean descent in the Netherlands, aimed at increasing awareness of sexual risk and power in relationships and improving sexual decision-making skills. METHODS: Intervention effects were evaluated in a pre-post-test design, using self-report questionnaires among a sample of 273 women. Data were analysed using intention-to-treat, MANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Additionally, a qualitative process evaluati

Surfactant treatment in premature infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Curaçao.

Surfactant replacement therapy for Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature neonates has been established as an effective treatment, although significant mortality and morbidity remain. In Curaçao, surfactant became available as a therapeutic option in 1994. A retrospective cohort study was performed to describe the results of surfactant treatment in premature newborns with RDS in Curaçao between 1994 and 1998. Of 429 infants admitted to the study hospital in this period, 7.5% (n = 32) developed RDS and were treated with surfactant. Twenty-five per cent (n = 8) of these infants died, m

Respiratory distress syndrome in Curaçao. Conventional versus surfactant treatment.

The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and to evaluate the efficacy of surfactant treatment at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the St Elisabeth Hospital, Curaçao, Netherlands, Antilles. This was a retrospective cohort study of 86 infants, with moderate to severe RDS, out of 877 newborns admitted to the NICU between 1991 and 1998. Results of conventional RDS treatment between 1991 and 1994 (n = 54, group 1) were compared to results of treatment between 1994 and 1998 (n = 32, group 2) with surfactant and increased prenatal steroids.

Effect of Antipsychotic Type and Dose Changes on Tardive Dyskinesia and Parkinsonism Severity in Patients With a Serious Mental Illness: The Curaçao Extrapyramidal Syndromes Study XII.

OBJECTIVE: To test the efficacy of current treatment recommendations for parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia (TD) severity in patients with severe mental illness (SMI). METHODS: We present an 18-year prospective study including all 223 patients with SMI (as defined by the 1987 US National Institute of Mental Health, which were based on DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria) receiving care from the only psychiatric hospital of the former Netherlands Antilles. Eight clinical assessments (1992-2009) focused on movement disorders and medication use. Tardive dyskinesia was measured by the Abnormal Involun…

Engagement in sexual healthcare and STI/HIV burden of first- and second-generation migrant and Western-born female sex workers in the Netherlands: A retrospective cohort study.

INTRODUCTION: Scarcely available European studies suggest that migrant female sex workers (FSW) have a higher likelihood of sexually transmi … FSW (n = 5085) mostly originated from Eastern Europe (50.5 %) and SGM FSW (n = 1309) from Suriname/Netherlands Antilles (36.3 %). Among FGM, SGM and Western-born FSW, 11.4 %, 15.2 % and 13.3 %, respectively (p < 0.001) were diagnosed with any STI. FGM FSW had a lower odds (aOR 0.78, 95 %:CI 0.65-0.94,p < 0.01) of chlamydia or gonorrhoea diagnosis, but a higher aOR (6 …

Ethnic differences in preterm birth and its subtypes: the effect of a cumulative risk profile.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of potentially explanatory risk factors on ethnic differences in the prevalence of preterm birth (PTB) and its subtypes. DESIGN: Prospective population-based cohort study. SETTING AND POPULATION: Pregnant women from Amsterdam attending their first antenatal visit for obstetric care. A total of 8266 women participated (response rate 67%). Ethnicity was based on the country of birth of the pregnant woman's mother: the Netherlands, Surinam, the Antilles, Turkey, Morocco, Ghana and other non-Dutch countries. Exclusion criteria were multiple births and gestational

[Vision-threatening eye manifestations in patients with sickle cell disease on Curaçao].

Prospectively we performed an ophthalmological examination in 81 Hb SS and 97 Hb SC patients on the island of Curaçao, about half the estimated number of patients, based on gene frequency. These patients had not been selected on ophthalmological symptoms. Proliferative retinopathy was present in 2% of the Hb SS patients, and in 50% of the Hb SC patients (71% among those over 18 years old). The frequency of severe visual loss (counting fingers or less) in one eye due to sickle cell disease in Hb SS patients was 1% (one patient, both eyes), and in Hb SC patients 6% (6 patients, 6 eyes). Bilatera

Explanatory factors for first and second-generation non-western women's inadequate prenatal care utilisation: a prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Little research into non-western women's prenatal care utilisation in industrialised western countries has taken generational differences into account. In this study we examined non-western women's prenatal care utilisation and its explanatory factors according to generational status. METHODS: Data from 3300 women participating in a prospective cohort of primary midwifery care clients (i.e. women with no complications or no increased risk for complications during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium who receive maternity care by autonomous midwives) in the Netherlands (the DEL

[Hypertension in the Negro patient].

Essential hypertension appears to be more prevalent among blacks than among whites and has an earlier onset in blacks. Many data in this field come from studies in the African-American population. Hypertension-related complications, e.g. ischaemic heart disease, (end stage) renal failure and cerebrovascular disease, are encountered more often among blacks and frequently run a more severe course. Factors that might explain the racial difference in prevalence of hypertension and hypertensive complications include both genetic and environmental variables. Hypertension in blacks is characterized b

[High percentage of antibiotic resistance in Shigella infections in children in Curaçao].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate antimicrobial treatment and resistance in clinical childhood shigellosis. DESIGN: Retrospective. SETTING: St. Elisabeth Hospital, Willemstad, Curaçao, Dutch Antilles. METHOD: From September 1991 through August 1995 shigellosis was diagnosed in 93 children out of 456 hospitalised with gastroenteritis (S. flexneri in 60, S. sonnei in 32, S. dysenteriae in 1). From hospital and laboratory records, the clinical presentation, antibiotic treatment and duration of hospitalization were indexed as well as the antibacterial resistance pattern of shigellae. RESULTS: Of the hosp

HIV infection and tuberculosis: an epidemiological study from a French register.

SETTING: The possible impact of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on the epidemiology of tuberculosis has never been studied in a general French population. OBJECTIVE: To describe the evolution of tuberculosis incidence from 1983 to 1991 in a French district (Rhône) and to assess its relationships to HIV-related factors, and to determine the prevalence of HIV infection among adult tuberculosis patients registered from 1989 to 1991. DESIGN: Information on sex, age, country of birth and the history and site of tuberculosis was derived from notification forms, and information on

[Seroprevalence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I in Curaçao and predictive variables for that infection].

OBJECTIVE: To determine the seroprevalence of human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV) type I and predictive variables in Curaçao. DESIGN: Descriptive. SETTING: St. Elisabeth Hospital, Curaçao. METHODS: A total of 2531 sera were randomly collected from a total population of approximately 145,000 over a period of three months (of seven the sex was not known). An initial ELISA test was performed to detect anti-HTLV-I antibodies. If this test was positive an ELISA re-test (in duplicate) was performed. If one of these re-tests was found positive a western blot confirmation test was performed. The as

Mifepristone followed by home administration of buccal misoprostol for medical abortion up to 70 days of amenorrhoea in a general practice in Curaçao.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of home administration of buccal misoprostol after mifepristone for medical abortion up to 70 days' gestation in a general practice in Curaçao, where induced abortion is severely restricted by law. METHODS: In a prospective study 330 women received 200 mg mifepristone and were instructed to take four tablets (800 μg) of misoprostol via the buccal route 24-36 h later, at home. One week later, follow-up took place. RESULTS: The outcome could be evaluated in 307 of the 330 women. The efficacy of the mifepristone-buccal misoprostol procedure was 97.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: diagnosis and management from the hematologist's perspective.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes abnormal blood vessel formation. The diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is clinical, based on the Curaçao criteria. Genetic mutations that have been identified include ENG, ACVRL1/ALK1, and MADH4/SMAD4, among others. Patients with HHT may have telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations in various organs and suffer from many complications including bleeding, anemia, iron deficiency, and high-output heart failure. Families with the same mutatio
