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...
The ongoing COVID-19 epidemics poses a particular challenge to low and middle income countries, making some of them consider the strategy "vertical confinement". In this strategy, contact is reduced only specific groups (e.g. age groups) that are at increased risk severe disease following SARS-CoV-2 infection. We aim assess feasibility scenario as an exit for current lockdown in terms its ability keep number cases under health care system capacity. developed modified SEIR model, including...
Abstract Background Public health campaigns aim to promote awareness, increase knowledge, and encourage a target population adopt desirable attitudes behaviors. Assessing their reach from multidimensional perspective through information technology can facilitate the development of more effective in public response. Methods We scrutinized seven data sources different perspectives assess campaign launched Brazil named “Syphilis No!”. This is part an Agenda for strategic actions reduce syphilis...
Abstract The ongoing COVID-19 epidemics poses a particular challenge to low and middle income countries, making some of them consider the strategy “vertical confinement”. In this strategy, contact is reduced only specific groups (like age groups) that are at increased risk severe disease following SARS-CoV-2 infection. We aim assess feasibility scenario as an exit for current lockdown in terms its ability keep number cases under health care system capacity. developed modified SEIR model,...
Abstract 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 dengue vector to count eggs Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have laid in spatially distributed ovitraps. Given this approach, present study uses database collected from 397 ovitraps allocated across city Natal, RN—Brazil. The Egg Density Index neighborhood was computed weekly, over four complete years...
Abstract Background In Brazil, many public hospitals face constant problems related to high demand vis-à-vis an overall scarcity of resources, which hinders the operations different sectors such as surgical centre, it is considered one most relevant pillars for proper hospital functioning, due its complexity, criticality well economic and social importance. Proper asset management based on well-founded decisions is, therefore, a sine-qua-non condition addressing demands. However,...
Diarrhoeal diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazilian children. However, from 1992 to 2001 there was significant decline hospitalizations for acute diarrhoea children below 1 year age Brazil. A improvement child health also observed the state Rio Grande do Norte (RN), with decrease 70 40 deaths per 1000. Using distributed lag analysis we analysed number factors possibly connected decreased hospitalization RN found that correlated up 3 poverty (P<0.001) inflation...
The COVID-19 pandemic is already considered one of the biggest global health crises. In Rio Grande do Norte, a Brazilian state, RegulaRN platform was information system used to regulate beds for patients with COVID-19. This article explored machine learning and deep techniques data in order identify best models parameters predict outcome hospitalized patient. A total 25,366 bed regulations were analyzed. analyzed comes from Platform database April 2020 August 2022. From these data, nine most...
Dengue is a significant global health issue, affecting millions of people annually and imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens. Effective disease control relies on monitoring the population Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, primary vector dengue. One surveillance method involves counting eggs laid by these mosquitoes in spatially distributed ovitraps. This study focuses application computational methods to forecast dengue populations. We analyze four-year (2016- 2019) database from 397 ovitraps...

Data analyzed using Bardin's content analysis technique subsequently compared global prescriptions for response Pan American Health Organization, World recent research publications examining course Brazil, regions, globally.While drew on...
ABSTRACT While there is no doubt about the participation of Zika virus in microcephaly, its epidemiology not entirely clear and doubts remain intervention other factors. In studies on dengue, infestation by Aedes aegypti peridomiciliary population density are main determinants for viral spread. However, Rio Grande do Norte state (RN), counties that have confirmed cases microcephaly overlapped river basins regions surrounded agriculture livestock. addition, prevalence at end first year...
Abstract Dengue is recognized as a health problem, it causes significant impacts on worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. A useful method dengue vector surveillance to count Aedes aegypti eggs deposited in spatially distributed ovitraps. The present work uses database collected 397 ovitraps the municipality Natal/RN – Brazil. number ovitrap was counted weekly, for four years (2016 - 2019) and analyzed jointly with incidence same period. Our results confirms that seems be related...
