The recent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly become a worldwide public health concern. On February 3, 2020, the Brazilian government declared the COVID-19 pandemic as a public health emergency; thus, the following question is raised: What is the current situation in the Brazilian subnormal clusters popularly known as favelas seven months later?

The physiopathology is resumed as the lymphocytic infiltration and B cell hyperactivity around the epithelium of the affected tissues. The etiology is still unknown, although genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a very important role in the manifestation of pSS. The diagnosis and classification are made based on pre-established criteria that consider the clinical manifestations, biological markers and cytopathological alterations. The treatment is widely based on the symptoms and clinic presented by the patient, for severe extraglandular manifestations, B-cell-targeted therapies have been showing great results especially in cryoglobulinemia, vasculitis, severe parotid swelling, inflammatory arthritis, pulmonary disease and peripheral neuropathy.

Despite major advances in genetic testing for breast cancer, access to genetic counseling and testing are significantly lower among immigrant and refugee populations. Both patient related barriers and provider-based factors contribute to disparities in genetic referrals and testing. Previous studies addressing genetic referral patterns among the minorities have focused on African Americans, however, there are no reports addressing disparities in genetic referrals and testing in Asian immigrant and refugee populations living in the United States (US). Given the rapid influx of these populations and increasing rates of breast cancer among Asian immigrant populations in the US, this area remains unexplored. This review addresses the current data on familial breast cancer syndromes, describe the various barriers, and attempts to provide suggestions to eliminate the disparities in genetic referral patterns.

The lifetime cancer risks for individuals with LFS are significant. However, cancer-specific risks for individuals with LFS are currently unknown and are likely influenced by genotype, personal risk factors, environment, and modifier genes. The risk of developing at least one LFS-associated cancer is estimated to be 50% by age 30 and 90% by age 60 [18]. A recent study reported nine different TP53 pathogenic variants in an attempt to better determine the cancer-specific risks between Korean and Caucasian patients with LFS. Two novel frameshift pathogenic variants were reported in the TP53 gene at p.Pro98Leufs*25 and p.Pro27Leufs*17. Recurrent missense pathogenic variants were also reported at codons 31 (p.Val31I1e), 175 (p.Arg175His) and 273 (p.Arg273Cys) [19]. Individuals with LFS have a high lifetime risk of developing cancer, will often develop cancer at an early age, and may develop more than one primary cancer throughout their lifetime. Although germline TP53 pathogenic variants are rare, comprehensive hereditary cancer risk assessment needs to be performed in any individual diagnosed with breast cancer under age 31 years and in families with multiple, rare tumors occurring at early ages [18]. Cowden syndrome: Pathogenic variants in the PTEN gene are associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) a spectrum of highly variable conditions with overlapping features including Cowden syndrome (CS) [20].

The prevalence rate of smoking is well documented in the general population, but little is known among patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). The mortality rate of CHF in San Bernardino county is nearly double (18.7 per 100,000 deaths) than that of the State of California (10.8 per 100,000 deaths). There is a need to fill knowledge gaps for CHF patients and identify evidence-based interventions that will help reduce health disparities among populations.
