L. monocytogenes antigen was observed in epithelial cells of intestinal mucosa overlying Peyer's patches, but not in mucosa devoid of them. This suggests that penetration of L. monocytogenes into the host organism may take place through epithelium overlying Peyer's patches. The efficiency of bacterial penetration appeared to be low, as shown by the small amounts of L. monocytogenes antigen detected and the low counts of bacteria in organs. Gross or histopathological lesions in the intestinal tract were not observed. The presence of L. monocytogenes in spleen, liver and in maxillary and mesenteric lymph nodes, confirmed that the systemic course of infection by this route of inoculation is similar to that of the parenteral routes. The results emphasize the subclinical character of murine listeriosis by the oral route.

METHODS: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out with a population of 72 firefighters from the 8th Brigade: 28 firefighters from the administrative section, 20 from the occurrence center and 24 from the operational call center. It was used a protocol which consisted of 57 questions regarding personal data, auditory and non-auditory complaints and annoyance. A sound mapping from the surrounding area was also carried out. RESULTS: The sound pressure levels in the firefighter corporation area exceeded 67 dB (A), reaching more than 82 dB (A) at the main avenue. Most of the subjects (83.3%) reported noisy routine at work, and urban noise was reported as the major source of annoyance. When evaluated separately by performance section, the highest occurrences of complaints were for urban noise (73.9%), firefighter vehicle noise (68%) and telephone noise (38.2%), for the administrative section, operational call center and occurrence center, respectively. CONCLUSION: The firefighters interviewed, besides being exposed to noises deriving from work activities, like vehicles, walk-talk radios and telephones, are liable to consequences from urban noise, which disturbs work activities and also causes health problems.

In this study, quantitative data were collected from 75 Mexican-origin women who survived intimate partner abuse, to identify variables associated with help-seeking to survive relationship abuse. Help-seeking was defined as use of formal (e.g., shelter) and informal (e.g., family) sources. Variables included two cultural variables: machismo (i.e., adherence to traditional gender roles) and familismo (i.e., valuing family cohesion and reciprocity), and four sociostructural variables: income, education, English proficiency, and immigrant status. Results indicated participants with higher levels of familismo sought informal help more frequently than those with lower levels. Women with grade school education, no English proficiency, and undocumented status sought formal help less frequently than those not constrained by these barriers.

Desde el punto de vista objetivo se le considera el conjunto de normas jurídicas que asocia al delito, como presupuesto, la pena como su consecuencia jurídica. 7 Sebastián SOLER llama Derecho penal "a la parte del Derecho que se refiere al delito y a las consecuencias que éste acarrea, ello es, generalmente a la pena". 8 El Derecho penal subjetivo se identifica con la facultad del Estado para crear los delitos, las penas y medidas de seguridad aplicables a quienes los cometan, o a los sujetos peligrosos que pueden delinquir. Por ello CUELLO CALÓN afirma que, en sentido subjetivo, es el derecho a castigar (jus puniendi), el derecho del Estado a conminar la ejecución de ciertos hechos (delitos) con penas, y en el caso de su comisión, a imponerlas y ejecutarlas, afirmando que en tal noción está contenido el fundamento filosófico del Derecho penal. 9 } 4 reimpresión.
