INTRODUCTION: Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis due to Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an emergent infectious disease in our area. The objective of the present paper is to determine if the activation of the complement system was taken placed with the C3c production in cerebrospinal fluid. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 14 patients with an average age 4.5 years were studied. In such patients a lumbar punction was performed. C3c was quantified in serum and cerebrospinal fluid by radial immunodiffusion. RESULTS: Median cell number was 396 x 10(-6)/L with an average of 8.8% of eosinophils. Main symptoms were headache, vomiting and fever. Meningeal signs were present in 50% of the patients. C3c intrathecal synthesis occurred in 13 patients (92.8%). CONCLUSION: It was demonstrated the participation of complement system in third-stage larvae destruction in cerebrospinal fluid.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) was first reported in Cuba in 1965. The most frequent appearance is observed in the first six months of the year. Objetive: To determine the seasonal distribution and evolving forms of MS patients diagnosed with the disease between April 2004 and November 2007. Twenty-one patients with suspected MS and 42 outbreaks were studied. Patients were classified according to Lublin and Revingold's criteria for clinical forms and according to McDonald. Most patients were classified in outbreak and remission and only two patients classified as primary-progressive multiple sclerosis. The higher number of outbreaks occurred in the first two quarters of the year. It is recommended to study further weather variables that may be related to the emergence of these outbreaks in our environment(AU)
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) fue reportada en Cuba por primera vez en 1965. Se ha venido observando la aparición más frecuente en los primeros seis meses del año. Objetivo: Determinar la distribución estacional y formas evolutivas de EM en pacientes con diagnóstico de esta enfermedad entre abril 2004 y noviembre 2007. Se estudiaron 21 pacientes con sospecha de EM y un total de 42 brotes. Los pacientes fueron clasificados según los criterios de Lublin y Revingold para las formas evolutivas y según los criterios de McDonald. Solo dos pacientes clasificaron en la forma evolutiva progresiva primaria; los primeros dos trimestres del año fueron los de mayor número de brotes. Se recomienda profundizar en las variables climatológicas que pudieran tener vínculo con la aparición de estos brotes en nuestro medio(AU)

INTRODUCTION: Neurosciences have an important place inside the scientific development of Ibero American countries, and particularly in Cuba. The objective of the current work is to analyze the productivity and visibility of Cuban neuroscientists in the period 2001-2005, and the value of H index as evaluation tool. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Web of Science and Scopus were the databases used as information sources. The 24 Cuban neuroscientists in Web of Science were identified, and their scientific production in Scopus was retrieved. For each author, in each database, the following indicators were calculated: total number of published authors, total number of cited articles, proportion of cited articles, total number of citations received, average of citations received by article, and H index. RESULTS: Some variations in the calculated indicators were observed in Scopus with respect to Web of Science. The wide coverage of this database exerted influence on the increment of scientist's productivity, as well as on the increment of H index values. CONCLUSIONS: The possible incorporation of citation analysis, as well as other indicators derived, in the processes of evaluation and analysis of the scientific activity was considered, in order to evaluate the advances in the Neurosciences field.

INTRODUCTION: 25 years ago was first reported in Cuba and in the western hemisphere an emergent disease: eosinophilic meningoencephalitis due to Angiostrongylus cantonensis larvae. AIM: To collect in a summary form the accumulated experience and the findings of the study of this parasitosis during the period in the Western hemisphere. DEVELOPMENT AND CONCLUSIONS: There have been collected the first evidences, the parasitological and malacological findings, the experimental and molecular studies on immunology and neuroimmunology, the clinic-pathological findings in children and adults with the particularities of this diseases in our environment with special emphasis in the never-before scientific findings reported. It has been documented the testimony, the main findings among the malacological studies, the role of the immunoglobulin E and the mechanism involved in the central nervous system, the intrathecal synthesis patterns of immunoglobulins and the clinical elements in children and adults.

Con el objetivo de estudiar la visibilidad de la producción científica de Cuba, se identificaron las publicaciones de académicos cubanos, tanto los de mérito como los de la Sección de ciencias biomédicas y de la Sección de ciencias exactas y naturales de la Academia de Ciencias de Cuba, procesada en la base de datos Scopus. Dos mujeres: las doctoras Rosa María Más Ferreiro y María Guadalupe Guzmán, no sólo fueron las más productivas sino que además, sus obras presentaron el mejor impacto. El hallazgo corrobora el papel de la mujer en la ciencia cubana.
Aimed at studying the visibility of the Cuban scientific production, the publications of both, merit and number academic members of the Biomedical Section and of the Natural and Exact Sciences Section of the Cuban Academy of Science, processed in the Scopus database, were identified. Two women, doctors Rosa María Más Ferreiro and María Guadalupe Guzmán, were not only the most productive ones, but also their works had the best impact. These findings corroborated the role played by women in the Cuban science.

El primer informe en el hemisferio occidental sobre el Angiostrongylus cantonensis, causante de la meningoencefalitis eosinofílica, se realizó en Cuba en 1981. A lo largo de 25 años, muchos investigadores cubanos han estudiado, tanto al parásito, como la enfermedad que produce en el hombre. Con el objetivo de analizar el impacto científico de estos aportes, se revisaron las bases de datos Medline (PubMed), ScieELO, Revistas Médicas Cubanas, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar y WOSCU. Los 37 artículos identificados constituyen una prueba del aporte de nuestros investigadores al conocimiento universal de esta parasitosis emergente en nuestro hemisferio.
The first report in the Western Hemisphere of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, was made in Cuba, in 1981. For 25 years, several Cuban researchers have studied the parasite and the disease it produces in human beings. In order to analyse the scientific impact of these contributions, Medline (PubMed), ScieELO, Revistas Médicas Cubanas, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar y WOSCU databases, were reviewed. The 37 papers found are a proof of the contributions or our researchers to the universal knowledge of this emerging parasitosis in our hemisphere.

El Premio Anual de la Salud se ha convertido en un acontecimiento científico relevante de las ciencias médicas cubanas. Se analiza la visibilidad e impacto de los premios anuales de la salud en la modalidad de artículo científico del año 2006. Para ello, se revisaron las bases PubMed y Web of Science para evaluar la visibilidad e impacto, se revisaron las bases Scopus y Google Académico. El 75 por ciento de las publicaciones premiadas fueron procesadas por PubMed y el Web of Science. Con respecto al factor de impacto de las revistas, dos presentan un muy alto factor de impacto, 4 un factor de impacto alto, 1 un factor de impacto moderado y 2 no tienen un factor de impacto reconocido. Tres artículos recibieron 8 o más citas en Scopus y Google Académico. Sirva la presente contribución para abrir el estudio en esta modalidad de análisis de la producción científica nacional.
