2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015
Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research
Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear understanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5,6,7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8,9,10,11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world's most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepresented in biodiversity databases.13,14,15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may eliminate pieces of the Amazon's biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological communities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple organism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region's vulnerability to environmental change. 15%â18% of the most neglected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lost

Droga de corpo! Imagens e representaçÔes do corpo feminino em revistas brasileiras
Estudo documental, qualitativo, descritivo, com objetivo de analisar imagens e representaçÔes do corpo da mulher e sua relação com o consumo de drogas nos conteĂșdos de reportagens publicadas em quatro revistas de circulação nacional (Veja, Isto Ă, Boa Forma, ClĂĄudia). As reportagens selecionadas foram submetidas Ă tĂ©cnica de anĂĄlisede conteĂșdo, sendo identificados trĂȘs grupos temĂĄticos: O corpo como um estĂmulo para o consumo de drogas; Riscos para o corpo decorrentes do consumo de drogas; A busca do corpo ideal com a utilização de drogas.Os dados mostraram que a mĂdia reproduz padrĂ”es estĂ©ticos rĂgidos, expondo as mulheres a agravos sociais e de saĂșde que estimulam o consumo de drogas de forma autĂŽnoma e/ou por prescrição. A busca pela beleza e a apelação ao erotismo feminino, divulgados pelos meios de comunicação analisados, limitam a importĂąncia social das mulheres,ao atrelar imagens que lhes atribuem o status de objeto sexual
