Urbs e civitas: a formação dos espaços e territórios urbanos nas minas setecentistas

O presente artigo procura situar a evolução das abordagens acerca da cidade colonial mineira dentro da perspectiva mais ampla dos estudos sobre o urbanismo colonial português. A análise privilegia os trabalhos que, em vez de se aterem aos aspectos ligados à estética urbana, procuraram relacioná-los às questões fundiárias e à constituição das redes e hierarquias urbanas.This article seeks to situate the evolution of approaches to the study of the colonial towns of Minas Gerais placing them in the broader perspective of studies on the Portuguese colonial urbanism. Instead of restricting our approach to questions of urban aesthetics, the analysis focuses on the works that tried to relate these questions to aspects of land ownership and to the establishment of networks and urban hierarchies

Richesses en partage au Brésil et en France

C’est en observant la répartition des richesses et leur distribution que l’on met en lumière la façon dont elles sont partagées et que l’on perçoit le fonctionnement des sociétés, l’accaparement par certains des ressources et des privilèges et les inégalités socio-spatiales qui en découlent. Il n’existe pas de définition universelle de la richesse. À quelque échelle que ce soit, la richesse est toujours multidimensionnelle et toutes ses formes sont liées entre elles, qu’elles concernent le revenu, le patrimoine économique ou ce qui a trait au pouvoir, au savoir, à la santé, à l’accès aux ressources naturelles et culturelles, etc. Le livre repose sur l’étude d’expériences locales comparées en France et au Brésil dans les territoires du Nord-Pas de Calais et du Minas Gerais, à différentes échelles et sur des terrains variés : de la région à la métropole et au quartier, des espaces miniers encore en activité ou reconvertis aux espaces naturels protégés.The structuring of legal and medical activities in Europe since the 18th century has so far been insufficiently studied jointly, from the point of view of their professionalization and territorial registration

Primary results of the brazilian registry of atherothrombotic disease (NEAT)

Abstract There is limited contemporary prospective real-world evidence of patients with chronic arterial disease in Latin America. The Network to control atherothrombosis (NEAT) registry is a national prospective observational study of patients with known coronary (CAD) and/or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in Brazil. A total of 2,005 patients were enrolled among 25 sites from September 2020 to March 2022. Patient characteristics, medications and laboratorial data were collected. Primary objective was to assess the proportion of patients who, at the initial visit, were in accordance with good medical practices (domains) for reducing cardiovascular risk in atherothrombotic disease. From the total of patients enrolled, 2 were excluded since they did not meet eligibility criteria. Among the 2,003 subjects included in the analysis, 55.6% had isolated CAD, 28.7% exclusive PAD and 15.7% had both diagnoses. Overall mean age was 66.3 (± 10.5) years and 65.7% were male patients. Regarding evidence-based therapies (EBTs), 4% were not using any antithrombotic drug and only 1.5% were using vascular dose of rivaroxaban (2.5 mg bid). Only 0.3% of the patients satisfied all the domains of secondary prevention, including prescription of EBTs and targets of body-mass index, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, and adherence of lifestyle recommendations. The main barrier for prescription of EBTs was medical judgement. Our findings highlight that the contemporary practice does not reflect a comprehensive approach for secondary prevention and had very low incorporation of new therapies in Brazil. Large-scale populational interventions addressing these gaps are warranted to improve the use of evidence-based therapies and reduce the burden of atherothrombotic disease.
