<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Health system planning requires careful assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) epidemiology, but data for morbidity and mortality this are scarce or non-existent in many countries. We estimated the global, regional, national burden CKD, as well cardiovascular gout attributable to impaired function, Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2017. use term CKD refer that can be directly attributed all stages we function additional risk from...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19.

The main source estimate mortality attributable chronic kidney disease due was vital registration. Mortality overall (ie, disease)...
Background Neck pain is a highly prevalent condition that leads to considerable pain, disability, and economic cost.We present the most current estimates of neck prevalence years lived with disability (YLDs) from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) by age, sex, location, forecasted 2050. MethodsSystematic reviews identified population-representative surveys used estimate YLDs in 204 countries territories, spanning 1990 2020, additional data opportunistic review.Medical...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Gout is an inflammatory arthritis manifesting as acute episodes of severe joint pain and swelling, which can progress to chronic tophaceous or erosive gout, both. Here, we present the most up-to-date global, regional, national estimates for prevalence years lived with disability (YLDs) due gout by sex, age, location from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021, well forecasted 2050. <h3>Methods</h3> YLDs 1990 2020 were estimated...
High plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), the principal fibrinolytic system, have been associated with thrombotic and arterial disease. To study PAI-1 expression in healthy atherosclerotic human arteries, a detailed analysis was made by light electron microscopy immunocytochemistry situ hybridization. In arteries found both at level endothelial cells smooth muscle (SMCs) media. early lesions also detected intimal SMCs extracellular areas association vitronectin....
Abstract Background Monitoring and reducing premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a global priority of Agenda 2030. This study aimed describe the trends disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost NCDs between 1990 2017 for Brazil project those 2030 as well risk factors (RFs) attributed deaths according estimates Global Burden Disease Study. Methods We analyzed cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory neoplasms, diabetes, compared rates in all states. The used...
Chagas disease (ChD), a Neglected Tropical Disease, has witnessed transformative epidemiological landscape characterized by trend of reduction in prevalence, shifting modes transmission, urbanization, and globalization. Historically vector-borne rural areas Latin America, effective control measures have reduced the incidence many countries, leading to demographic shift where most affected individuals are now adults. However, challenges persist regions like Gran Chaco, emerging oral...
Abstract Background The prevalence and burden of disease resulting from obesity have increased worldwide. In Brazil, more than half the population is now overweight. However, impact this growing risk factor on remains inexact. Using 2017 Global Burden Disease (GBD) results, study sought to estimate mortality disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost non-communicable diseases caused by high body mass index (BMI) in both sexes across age categories. This also aimed describe overweight...
Abstract Background The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2017 database permits an up-to-date evaluation the frequency and burden diabetes at state level in Brazil by type diabetes. objective this report is to describe, using these updated GBD data, current projected future hyperglycemia Brazil, as well its variation over time space. Methods We derived all estimates 2016 databases characterize disease related from 1990 2040, standard methodologies. Results overall estimated prevalence was 4.4%...
Brazil leads the world in number of firearm deaths and ranks sixth by country rate per 100,000 people. This study aims to analyze trends burden mortality firearms, according age sex, for Brazil, association between these indicators possession carrying weapons using data from global diseases, injuries, risk factors (GBD) 2017.We used GBD 2017 estimates due physical violence self-harm firearms explanatory variables.Deaths increased 25,819 1990 48,493 2017. Firearm rates were higher among men...
Abstract Background Brazil is the world’s fifth most populous nation, and currently experimenting a fast demographic aging process in context of scarce resources social inequalities. To understand health profile older adults fundamental for planning public policies. Methods The estimates were derived from data obtained through collaboration between Brazilian Ministry Health Institute Metrics Evaluation University Washington. Geography Statistics provided population estimates. Data on causes...
Diabetes, hyperglycemia, and their complications are a growing problem in Brazil. However, no comprehensive picture of this disease burden has yet been presented to date. We used Global Burden Disease 2015 data characterize diabetes prevalence, incidence risk factors from 1990 Additionally, we provide mortality, years life lost prematurely (YLL), lived with disability (YLD) disability-adjusted (DALYs) due diabetes, as well similar for chronic kidney (CKD) and, an overall summary measure, the...
ABSTRACT: Introduction and objective: The global burden of disease (GBD) 2015 project, extends GBD analyses to include Brazilian federative units separately. We take advantage methodological advances describe the current diabetes hyperglycemia in Brazil. Methods: Using standard methods, we analyzed diabetes, chronic kidney due high fasting plasma glucose Brazil its states. Results: age-standardized rate disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) which was lost glucose, a category encompasses...

Two strongly correlated polymorphisms located within the gene of glucokinase regulator protein (GKRP), rs780094 and rs1260326, are associated with increased plasma triglyceride levels provide a genetic model for long-term activation hepatic glucokinase. Because pharmacological activators evaluated treatment diabetes, aim study was to assess if these could evidence an cardiovascular risk activation. Therefore, were tested in 3 500 patients Ludwigshafen Risk Cardiovascular Health study, which...
