Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. In 2016, it was declared an epidemic in Brazil due to its high morbidity and mortality rates, mainly cases of maternal syphilis (MS) congenital (CS) with unfavorable outcomes. This paper aimed mathematically describe the relationship between MS CS reported over interval from 2010 2020, considering likelihood diagnosis effective timely treatment during prenatal care, thus supporting...
Abstract Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by impairment of bone microarchitecture that causes high socioeconomic impacts in the world because fractures and hospitalizations. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) gold standard for diagnosing disease, access to DXA developing countries still limited due its cost, being present only specialized hospitals. In this paper, we analyze performance Osseus, low-cost portable device based on electromagnetic waves measures attenuation...
Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, vaccination has been core strategy to mitigate spread of SARS-CoV-2 in humans. This paper analyzes impact on hospitalizations and deaths state Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. We analyzed data from 23,516 hospitalized patients diagnosed between April 2020 August 2021. excluded through direct occupancy, unknown outcomes, unconfirmed cases, resulting 12,635 cross-referenced with immunization status during hospitalization. Our results indicated that...
Effective and timely detection is vital for mitigating the severe impacts of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), including syphilis HIV. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) sensors have shown promise as diagnostic tools these STI, offering a pathway towards cost-effective solutions in primary health care settings.
Abstract Applications on electromagnetic waves in the field of biotelemetry have increased latest years, being used to prevent, diagnose, and treatment several diseases. In this context, allows minimally invasive monitoring physiologic, improving comfort patient care significantly reducing hospital costs. Aiming assist mineral bone density classification, through a radio frequency signal (RF), for later diagnosis osteoporosis, Osseus was proposed 2018. This equipment is combination...
This article presents a proposal to measure the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) as backup in diagnosis of osteoporosis. An antenna arrangement, tuned frequency general and medical use, is used relative attenuation signal on several samples bovine bone, silica bone powder. By implementing Support Vector Machine (SVM) it possible establish patterns classify BMD high or low.
The improvement of laboratory diagnosis is a critical step for the reduction syphilis cases around world. In this paper, we present development an impedance-based method detecting T. pallidum antigens and antibodies as auxiliary tool diagnosis. We evaluate voltammetric signal obtained after incubation in carbon or gold nanoparticle-modified electrodes presence absence Poly-L-Lysine. Our results indicate that from was sufficient to distinguish between infected non-infected samples immediately...
This study analyzes online news disseminated throughout the pre-, during-, and post-intervention periods of "Syphilis No!" Project, which was developed in Brazil between November 2018 March 2019. We investigated influence sentiment aspects to explore their possible relationships with syphilis testing data response epidemic Brazil. A dictionary-based technique (VADER) chosen perform analysis considering Brazilian Portuguese language. Finally, collected were used statistical tests obtain other...
Desarrollar soluciones tecnológicas para la población en forma de productos es un proceso que debe articular varios factores, como: los usuarios, sus necesidades, el contexto uso del producto y materiales tecnologías disponibles su construcción. El diseñador articula estos factores mediante metodologías conducen vinculan las actividades Proceso Desarrollo Productos (PDP). prototipado una estas actividades, permite probar aspectos prácticos artefactos y, por tanto, favorece mejoras...
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mineral density, which typically leads to fractures and reduced quality of life. Currently, diagnostic devices used assess this (e.g., dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) are very costly, making it infeasible meet the demand for testing in most countries. Therefore, we proposed preclinical validation prototype called Osseus an attempt enhance osteoporosis screening tests alleviate their costs. device developed assist density classification....
Background: The “Syphilis No!” campaign the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MoH) launched between November 2018 and March 2019, brought forward concept "Test, Treat Cure" to remind population importance syphilis prevention. In this context, study aims analyze similarity online news comprehend how public health communication interventions influence media coverage issue. Methods: This paper presented a computational approach assess effectiveness actions on problem. Data were collected January...

Abstract Purpose Primary Health Care (PHC) is the coordinator of health care in Brazil and needs to be strengthened diagnostic field increase quality. Aiming improve tools currently available PHC, this work describes process development validation two point-of-care biomedical devices for screening patients with syphilis or different kinds cancer. Methods The these followed nine stages action based on requirements established by Ministry Health. During development, both systems circuit...
