The acronym STORCH encompasses gestational infections that can lead to congenital syndromes or adverse neurological outcomes in children. In Brazil and worldwide, there has been an alarming increase confirmed cases of recent years. However, no study examined the impact on infants' neurodevelopmental a large, multi-center cohort, recruiting substantial number participants, with analysis across broad set variables ages based International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF)...
Several parameters should be addressed before incriminating a vector for Leishmania transmission. Those may include its ability to become infected by the same species found in humans, degree of attractiveness reservoirs and humans capacity sustain parasite infection under laboratory conditions. This study evaluated vectorial Lutzomyia cruzi infantum gathered information on harbor L. amazonensis. Laboratory-reared Lu. were experimentally feeding them dogs naturally with hamsters Sand fly was...
Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a serious public health concern, with an estimated 38 million people living HIV (PLHIV). PLHIV are often affected by mental disorders at higher rate than the general population. One challenge in control and prevention of new infections is adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), having seemingly lower without disorders. This cross-sectional study assessed ART who attended Psychosocial Care Network facilities Campo Grande, Mato...
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy can lead to congenital syndrome (CZS) and may result in neurodevelopmental alterations exposed children, with without CZS. This study aimed evaluate ZIKV as a risk factor for early long-term adverse outcomes. retrospective-prospective, matched cohort was conducted Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Mother-infant pairs unexposed were enrolled the from 2018 2022. Clinical epidemiological data gestational period neonatal evaluations obtained Brazilian...
