Robert Terry and colleagues present working definitions of operational research, implementation health systems research within the context to strengthen systems.
A first and critical step to address the research development gap for Chagas disease is establish a consensus on desirable product profiles in different conditions of use. To foster inform these much needed tools, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), collaboration with DNDi, Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF), Special Programme Research Training Tropical Diseases (TDR), convened multidisciplinary group experts Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (April 2010), review evidence initiate discussions. The...
Geographic accessibility to healthcare services is a fundamental component in achieving universal health coverage, the central commitment of Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). For cancer patients, poor has been associated with inadequate treatment, worse prognosis, and poorer quality life.

Background Measuring the impact of capacity strengthening support is a priority for international development community. Several frameworks exist monitoring and evaluating funding results modalities. Based on its long history support, we report individual institutional programmes conducted by UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme Research Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) factors that influenced outcome Capacity Strengthening (RCS) activities. Methodology Principal Findings A mix...
To assess the correlation between burden of seven priority neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) included in Brazilian National Agenda Priorities Health Research - tuberculosis, Chagas disease, leprosy, malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue and schistosomiasis their respective research funding output.This retrospective review obtained data on disease from Global Burden Disease Study open access sources. Publications were retrieved Scopus SciELO, characterised according to type conducted. Correlation...
review the programme’s scientific and technical activities. TDR’s placement within United Nations system provides close collaboration with country offices of not only World Health Organization but also other co-sponsoring agencies UNICEF UNDP, Bank. As a consequence, those who are supported by TDR often work closely disease control programmes as well international organizations. Regular reviews research capacity strengthening have helped reorient strategy needed, shifting focus from...
Difficult access to birth care services is associated with infant and neonatal mortality maternal morbidity mortality. In this study, data from the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) were used map evolution of geographic accessibility hospital usual risk in state Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, corresponding 418,243 admissions 2010-2011 2018-2019. Travel flows, distances traveled, intermunicipal travel time between pregnant women's municipality location estimated. An increase 15.9% 21.5%...
The potential risk of acquiring a transfusion-transmitted infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) virus, C (HCV) or Trypanosoma cruzi was estimated for seven South American and five Central countries during period 1994-1997. estimates were based on official national reports number donors, blood screening coverage, prevalence serologic markers infectious diseases. Coverage in 1997 100% 12 11 HIV HBV respectively. Complete HCV reported only one country 1994 six...
A case-control study was conducted to examine whether physical activity, sibling history of heart disease (HHD), and length residence in an area endemic for Chagas' were associated with the risk developing cardiopathy. Two hundred forty-seven cases 345 seropositive subjects normal ECG (controls) selected a population survey Goiânia, Brazil. Prevalence ratios exposure variables estimated relation controls subgroups seropositives abnormalities controls. Increasing age male sex consistently...
In a previous efficacy study, autoclaved Leishmania major (ALM) + bacille Calmette—Guérrin (BCG) vaccine was shown to be safe, but not superior BCG alone, in protecting against visceral leishmaniasis. From June 1999 2000, we studied the safety and immunogenicity of different doses alum-precipitated ALM mixture administered intradermally evaluate whether addition alum improved ALM. Twenty-four healthy adult volunteers were recruited sequentially allocated receive either 10 μg, 100 200 or 400...
