    Objetivo: Analisar a dinĂąmica do sistema de saĂșde para o diagnĂłstico de tuberculose em regiĂŁo metropolitana de um estado do nordeste brasileiro. MĂ©todos: Estudo ecolĂłgico de sĂ©rie temporal realizado em SĂŁo LuĂ­s, no Estado do MaranhĂŁo, regiĂŁo Nordeste do Brasil. A população do estudo foi composta casos de tuberculose notificados noSistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) no perĂ­odo de 2010 a 2020. A estatĂ­stica descritiva dos casos foi realizada utilizando medidas de frequĂȘncia absoluta e relativa e o teste Qui–quadrado de Pearson foi utilizado para comparar as frequĂȘncias entre os casos notificados em unidades de Atenção PrimĂĄria a SaĂșde (APS) e hospitalares e a caracterização sociodemogrĂĄfica e clĂ­nica. Para anĂĄlise da sĂ©rie temporal, recorreu-se ao modelo deautorregressĂŁo Prais–Winsten, seguido do mĂ©todo de decomposição denominado Seasonal–Trend using Loess (STL), finalizando com a previsĂŁo da tendĂȘncia temporal para os prĂłximos anos. Os dados foram analisados utilizando os recursos do software Stata versĂŁo 17 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA) e R versĂŁo 3.5.2 (R Core Team, 2020). Resultados: Foram notificados 7.948 casos com diagnĂłstico de tuberculose, sendo 1.608 notificados em unidadesde Atenção PrimĂĄria e 6.340 em unidades Hospitalares. O teste Qui–quadrado resultou na frequĂȘncia relativa calculada considerando o total de paciente que possuĂ­am resultados de cada exame com diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p < 0,05). ConclusĂŁo: Foi possĂ­vel observar tendĂȘncia temporal diferenciada entre o diagnĂłstico realizado pela APS e hospitais. Na anĂĄlise e modelagem temporal houve aumento nos casos notificados na APS e estacionĂĄrio nos hospitais, entretanto, na modelagem temporal houve redução do nĂșmero de casos nos hospitais.Objective: To analyze the dynamics of the health system for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in a metropolitan region of a Northeast Brazilian state. Methods: Ecological time series study conducted in SĂŁo LuĂ­s, MaranhĂŁo State, Northeast region of Brazil. The study population was composed of tuberculosis cases notified in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) in the period from 2010 to 2020. The descriptive statistics of the cases was performed using absolute and relative frequency measures, and Pearson’s Chi-square test was used to compare thefrequencies between the cases notified in Primary Health Care (PHC) and hospital units and the sociodemographic and clinical characterization. For time series analysis, the Prais-Winsten autoregression model was used, followed by the decomposition method called Seasonal-Trend decomposition using LOESS (STL), ending with the time trend prediction for the next years. The data were analyzed using the resources of the computer programs named Stata, version 17 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA) and R, version 3.5.2 (R Core Team, 2020). Results: A total of 7,948 cases diagnosed with tuberculosis were notified, of which 1,608 were notified in Primary Care units and 6,340 in hospital units. The Chi-square test resulted in a relative frequency calculated considering the totalnumber of patients who had results from each examination with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It was possible to observe different time trends between diagnoses performed by PHC and hospitals. In the time analysis and modeling, there was an increase in cases notified in PHC and stationary in hospitals; however, in the time modeling, there was a reduction in the number of cases in hospitals

    Design and development of a ubiquitous cancer care system: A collaborative communication among cancer community

    Get PDF
    Communication among cancer community (specifically patients, parents, and medical practitioners) has not been pervasively-supported.In response to that, this paper reports on a study that ensures communication among cancer community is supported with a ubiquitous communication model.The model is proposed to provide an alternative for the community to communicate; discussing among patients, parents, and medical practitioners.In particular, the system is important because the treatments for cancer mostly take a long time, and the entities in the community are normally closed, which leads to frequent communications. Furthermore, most of topics communicated among cancer community are only understood by themselves. Hence, the paper aims at discussing the design and development of respective prototype.An appropriate model is formed first; then the prototype development follows.The prototype is discussed at length in this paper.At the end, initial feedbacks from the cancer community prove that the designed prototype works well in supporting the communication among cancer community in a ubiquitous environment

Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.Brazil experienced a large dengue virus (DENV) epidemic in 2019, highlighting a continuous struggle with effective control and public health preparedness. Using Oxford Nanopore sequencing, we led field and classroom initiatives for the monitoring of DENV in Brazil, generating 227 novel genome sequences of DENV1-2 from 85 municipalities (2015–2019). This equated to an over 50% increase in the number of DENV genomes from Brazil available in public databases. Using both phylogenetic and epidemiological models we retrospectively reconstructed the recent transmission history of DENV1-2. Phylogenetic analysis revealed complex patterns of transmission, with both lineage co-circulation and replacement. We identified two lineages within the DENV2 BR-4 clade, for which we estimated the effective reproduction number and pattern of seasonality. Overall, the surveillance outputs and training initiative described here serve as a proof-of-concept for the utility of real-time portable sequencing for research and local capacity building in the genomic surveillance of emerging viruses

    Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

    No full text
    International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora

    Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

    Get PDF
    As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
