“…The prenatal detection of foetal anomalies allows for optimal perinatal management [1] . Many studies have analysed the effectiveness of prenatal ultrasonography in detecting foetal anomalies [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] . The limitation of this study is that we were not able to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound scans performed prenatally due to a lack of data and linkage possibilities.…”

“…Incident reports often cite lack of training as a contributing cause. While this is in part the result of the incident being ipso facto evidence of inadequate training, the failure to fully train and refresh awareness of hazards and control of risks does contribute to many industrial incidents. − Employees, including management, must clearly understand the procedures being performed and the implications of changing those procedures.…”

While preparing 10 600 L of a 25% aqueous solution of sodium chlorite (NaClO2), the solid salt was spilled and not cleaned up promptly. Combustible materials, including cardboard sheets and polypropylene fabric, became contaminated with solid sodium chlorite. Subsequently, a spark, initiated by inadvertently striking metal drum sealing rings together, ignited the oxidizer-contaminated combustible materials. The fire spread to a polypropylene bag containing 800 kg of sodium chlorite. The contents of the bag detonated causing one fatality, two serious injuries, and extensive property damage. The incident was thoroughly investigated, leading to the conclusion that a series of process safety management failures occurred which created the conditions driving the incident. The investigation is summarized and discussed, with an emphasis on the investigation procedures used to support the root cause analysis and conclusions. Recommendations are provided to help prevent similar incidents.

“…Esta tasa es menor a las reportadas en otros estudios (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Si se evalúa por anomalía específica, hubo baja detección de anomalías con gran compromiso de la anatomía, como lo son espina bífida, defectos de la pared abdominal, cardiopatía congénita, hernia diafragmática y, labio y paladar hendidos, entre otros.…”
