Objectives: assess the implementation of actions to prevent vertical transmission of HIV.
Methods: a retrospective cohort study conducted in two maternity hospitals in the city of Montes Claros, State of Minas Gerais. All women admitted for childbirth diagnosed with HIV and their respective newborns were included from 2014 to 2017. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed descriptively.
Results: population consisted of 46 pairs of mothers and newborns. Management was considered inadequate in 30 cases of parturient/postpartum women (65.2%) and 14 cases of newborns (30.4%). The main reasons for inadequate maternal management were lack of pharmacological inhibition of lactation (53.3%) and counseling/consent for HIV testing (43.3%). For newborns, late onsetoffirst dose ofZidovudine (50.0%) and no prescriptionofNevirapine (28.6%).
Conclusions: important prevention opportunities were missed, pointing to the need for improved care.

A clinical pharmacology and medication safety elective was developed for fourth-year medical students to enhance students' foundational pharmacology knowledge and the importance of preventing medication errors. Using video conferencing technology represents a modern approach to facilitate vertical integration of pharmacology curricula and increase multi-institutional and interprofessional collaboration to improve student learning.

Background: Sports science students (SPS) are more likely to be affected by low back pain (LBP) compared to the young, physically active population. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate potential risk factors for LBP in the population of SPS.
Methods: Before the beginning of the study the participants (n=54) performed initial physical performance testing and gave blood samples.

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a major global cause of neonatal, infant, and maternal infections. In Japan, national guidelines based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations mandate culture-based screening and intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) for GBS-positive pregnant women. Despite initial reductions in GBS infections, the incidence has plateaued, and there are notable limitations in current prevention methods.

Confined space fires could easily cause serious casualties and property damage, and foam is an effective means of preventing confined space fires. The existing foam generator does not have both momentum and foam expansion rate (FER) and is poorly suited to confined spaces. In order to develop a foam generator suitable for confined space fire protection, an in-depth analysis of the physical foaming characteristics of self-suction foam is required, and the structure of the foam generator is optimized accordingly.
