Resumo: Objectives: Analyze the inhibitory effect of contralateral noise on transient otoacoustic emissions in infants with congenital syphilis (CS). Methods: Cross-sectional study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee n° 3.360.991. Infants with treated CS at birth and infants without risk indicators for hearing impairment were selected. Both groups had the waves I, III and V presence at 80 dB nHL with click BAEP and the presence of response in the nonlinear TEOAEs at 80 dB NPS bilaterally. For suppression, TEOAE were analyzed without the contralateral noise, with the linear stimulus at 60 dB SPL. The neonates who presented a response in …

Resumo: Background: International Cooperation (IC) is a relevant tool to strengthen institutional capacities and promote the development of countries. Hence, our objective has been to develop a framework for measuring the performance of actions related to IC apropos of public health grievances, using as a research case the experience of the “Sífilis Não!” Project in Brazil, between 2018 and 2020. Methods: For constructing a theoretical framework, we carried out a systematic literature review on health-related IC and performance evaluation. The knowledge constructed on this field was applied to propose theoretical indicators, grouped in a six-dimension conceptual model of cause and effect. …

Resumo: The Brazilian prison system has a history of shortcomings related to lack of investments and infrastructure, leading to severe consequences for the entire prison population, such as problems related to fundamental guarantees of human rights, the lack of health care, and the rise in criminality rates (1–3). With almost the third-largest prison population (4), Brazil accumulates critical issues such as overcrowding, high internal violence indexes, and disease spread (5–7)

Resumo: Procura-se, neste texto, fazer uma revisão bibliográfica acerca da sífilis e seu impacto na arte, e apresentar um estudo sobre como essa doença influenciou várias especialidades artísticas. Para tanto, foram selecionadas cinco obras, de distintas épocas, e feita uma análise sobre a relação entre a enfermidade, o artista, e o produto artístico. Evidencia-se, no presente estudo, que o discurso sociológico e ideológico de cada época se vê representado em todas as obras e, em alguns casos, trazem à tona questões que permanecem atuais, como migração populacional e disseminação de doenças, desconfiança e ignorância frente ao conhecimento científico, tabu e polêmica …

Resumo: Dengue is recognized as a health problem that causes significant socioeconomic impacts throughout the world, affecting millions of people each year. A commonly used method for monitoring the dengue vector is to count the eggs that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have laid in spatially distributed ovitraps. Given this approach, the present study uses a database collected from 397 ovitraps allocated across the city of Natal, RN—Brazil. The Egg Density Index for each neighborhood was computed weekly, over four complete years (from 2016 to 2019), and simultaneously analyzed with the dengue case incidence. Our results illustrate that the incidence of dengue is …
