    ARTÍCULOS ORIGINALES Evaluación del sistema de vigilancia nutricional materno-infantil. Provincia Camagüey Assessment of the maternal and child nutritional surveillance system: first semester 1999. Camagüey province Dra. Sara Orozco Rodríguez; Dra. Mercedes Morales Medina Hospital Provincial Ana Betancourt de Mora. Camagüey, Cuba. _______________________________________________________________ RESUMEN Se realizó evaluación del sistema de vigilancia nutricional materno-infantil (SISVAN) en el primer semestre de 1999 en la provincia Camagüey con el objetivo de evaluar indicadores nutricionales en niños menores de cinco años y embarazadas, tales como: malnutrición por defecto en los grupos antes señalados, malnutrición por exceso en niños menores de 5 años, mortalidad infantil, mortalidad por E.D.A, E.RA y B.P.N (bajo peso al nacer). Se hizo un análisis de los datos obtenidos del registro estadístico proveniente de los consultorios y áreas de salud de cada municipio en la provincia y llegamos a las siguientes conclusiones: se mantuvo la prevalencia de malnutridos por defectos en menores de 5 años con respecto a igual período anterior, se elevó la de malnutridos por exceso en menores de un año. Se elevó la prevalencia de anemia en el tercer trimestre del embarazo, así como el índice de bajo peso al nacer. El resto de los indicadores se comportó de manera similar en relación con igual período anterior. Los municipios: Najasa, Sierra de Cubitas, Santa Cruz del Sur y Sibanicú mostraron los indicadores más desfavorables de malnutrición en embarazadas y elevado índice de B.P.N. Se recomendó elevar la calidad en el trabajo del SISVAN en la APS e incrementar la capacitación e investigaciones en el campo de la nutrición, así como la intersectorialidad en la provincia.

    POWER ELITE OF CUBA General of the Army Raúl Castro (86 years old) First Secretary of the Communist Party An intolerant Marxist-Leninist, Raúl Castro is a highly organized, cautious and clannish leader with an unwavering commitment to Communism, Russia, Iran and Venezuela. In March 1953, Raúl traveled to Vienna (four months before the “Moncada”) to attend the Moscow sponsored World Youth Conference. Afterwards, he went to Budapest, Prague and Bucharest. He liked what he saw. During this trip he established a long-lasting friendship with Nikolai Leonov, a KGB espionage officer that later turned out to be a useful link with the Kremlin. Raúl recalled that from that moment on “he was ready to die for the Communist cause.” Declassified KGB documents offer evidence that Fidel Castro “deliberately made a Marxist of Raul.” At 22, back in Cuba, Raúl joined the Cuban Communist Party Youth Branch (CCP). Latter while in Mexico for the “Granma” operation, Raúl struck up a close ideological friendship with Ernesto “Che” Guevara and forged a commitment to create a Marxist society in Cuba. In 1963, Raúl was the official link between Fidel and Nikita Khrushchev to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba. At 86, he still remains strongly attached to his lifelong ideology. While he is healthy and running Cuba, individual rights and private property will be forbidden in the island. (A car and a house are the exceptions). There are reports stating that Raúl is having health issues. Commander of the Rebel Army José Machado Ventura (87 years old) Second Secretary of the Communist Party A medical doctor, Machado was appointed to the Politburo in 1975.

Sánchez Carmona; Dr. Alejandro Capote Fradera Centro Provincial de Higiene y Epidemiología. Camagüey. Camagüey, Cuba. RESUMEN Una tendencia a la disminución de la notificación de casos de metahemoglobinemia infantil en los últimos diez años en la provincia, unido al interés de investigar los factores que han motivado este hecho, constituyó el incentivo de esta investigación. Describir el comportamiento de la metahemoglobinemia infantil en la provincia en el período 1985­2001, caracterizar la entidad según algunas variables seleccionadas e identificar la posible asociación de la enfermedad con volumen de fertilizantes utilizados, precipitaciones, condiciones hidrogeológicas del territorio, y la variación de los niveles de nitratos de las aguas de consumo muestreadas, son los objetivos de esta investigación. Se utilizaron diferentes diseños metodológicos. Se concluyó que la metahemoglobinemia infantil en la provincia ha descendido en los últimos años y que los volúmenes de fertilizantes utilizados, la velocidad de infiltración de las rocas y la disminución de los valores de nitratos en las aguas de consumo, son los principales eventos asociados a este descenso.
