Expanded dengue syndrome are unusual conditions, such as subacute thyroiditis (SAT). We present the case of a 38-year-old woman who had dengue without alarm signs for a month, along with cervical pain and increased cervical volume, palpitations, tremor and dysphagia. Hormonal evaluation, ultrasound and thyroid scintigraphy were consistent with SAT. She received corticoids for two months, with remission after four months. SAT is characterized by neck pain, fever and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. It is associated with viral infections and it comprises a phase of thyrotoxicosis followed by hypothyroidism. Diagnosis involves hormonal and biochemical tests, thyroid ultrasound with Doppler and scintigraphy. This condition is managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids, according to severity. SAT, an infrequent manifestation of dengue, requires a high degree of suspicion and appropriate management. A review of published cases of SAT due to dengue was carried out in the Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases, finding six reported cases, mostly in men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This ergonomic study has focused on the production line workers in food industry because of the presence of repetitive tasks. This study's objective is to understand the working methods and the workers' organization, analyzing repetitive movements of upper limbs, in order to suggest a better distribution of the workload, and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury. In total, there are 6 female workers who are exposed to repetitive motions. A time and motion study was carried out, as well as the OCRA (Occupational Repetitive Actions). In conclusion, all repetitive tasks are at Risk (OCRA index> 3.5) according to OCRA index. The main causes include: the worker's position on the line, the frequency of actions per minute, the duration of exposure, the lack of recovery time, among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the 19th century, the foundation of new towns was raised again as the answer to the problem of colonization. In the Argentine pampas, more than a hundred populations were founded in less than a hundred years. These populations were drawn mostly by surveyors following the prescriptions of the Department of Topography of Buenos Aires. The cartography elaborated by the surveyors has the purpose of dividing the land to adjudicate it to future settlers, and to settle the limits of the towns. However, these maps are also the tool for "designing" and building the city (frequently the only one). In this article, we seek to value the operational strategies that allowed the production of these urban cartographies, based on the analysis of more than 200 population plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the port terminals of Peru, the placement of fishery products such as frozen fish within refrigerated containers is done manually with the help of gaff hooks. The workers are organized into groups according to their experiences and knowledge in order to meet the production goals, following the quality and safety standards indicated by the organization. The introduction of technologies in the process of cargo stowage did not meet the expected results on reducing the long-term physical effects on operational personnel, who are the ones with the knowledge for the processes, which represents a disregard of the experience and loss of money in technology that is wrongly used by the workers. The challenge of this ergonomic intervention is to analyze the process of cargo stowage of frozen fish under a systematic approach to understand the ways and factors of this job, while getting the workers involved.

In the construction industry, gloves provide an important first barrier to protect workers' hands. This study focuses on the evaluation of the design of leather gloves made in Peru against mechanical risks. For this purpose, 16 types of leather gloves were chosen to go through the process of testing their levels of performance in terms of abrasion, tear and puncture resistance under the norm UNE EN 388 :2016 + A1 :2018. In addition to this, 80 Peruvian construction workers were the subject of an anthropometric study by filling a questionnaire to understand their perception of the gloves used in the evaluation. In addition, we conducted an interview with a proper manufacturer of gloves. In conclusion, the gloves used in this study offer less protection in terms of abrasion resistance, are generally made in one-size-to-fit-all and the handling of bricks causes them to quickly wear out.

The aim of this paper is to present an overview on the Portuguese-influenced heritage in the African Portuguese-spoken countries (Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique). Special attention will be paid to religious (churches, chapels and convents) and military (fortresses and forts) buildings. Chronologically, the paper will cover from the first settlements at the end of XVth century to the end of XVIIth century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of pesticides can cause considerable damage to human health. A number of efforts have been made to reduce occupational exposure, but it has not been sufficient. In relation to personal protective equipment, it has certain limitations, hence preventing a reliable protection. Non-use or misuse of this equipment can lead to negative consequences. The aim of this article is to explain the influence of risk perception on the behaviour of winegrowers to protect themselves against pesticides. The methodology is based on the analysis of the activity seeking to understand its work strategies. The results of our qualitative study with a sample of five winegrowers show that the training level, the experience and the beliefs can have an influence, positively or negatively, on risk perception.
