Psychopegerontological work has as its main objective the search for autonomy and independence for the elderly, helping to understand and accept the emotions and thoughts generated by the difficulties existing in the problems encountered at this stage of life. Understanding the concept of old age, aging, the brain aging process, and its pathologies are the key pieces for beginning good prevention and intervention work with the elderly. Stimulating their cognitive abilities in a preventive and interventional way is the focus of this study and the way in which psychopedagogy adds and contributes to multidisciplinary work and well-being based on autonomy and independence of the elderly and their families.

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in the uterus of women of reproductive age and can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and increased abdominal volume. Studies have shown a higher prevalence of uterine fibroids in black women compared to women of other ethnicities. Understanding the causes of this disparity is fundamental to developing more effective prevention and treatment strategies. Investigating the relationship between the incidence of uterine fibroids and black ethnicity, analyzing the genetic and social factors that may contribute to this correlation and proposing measures to reduce the incidence of uterine fibroids in black women are the aims of this study. This is a systematic literature review using an exploratory and narrative method, with qualitative and quantitative premises. The databases used were PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science and the Virtual Health Library. The articles analyzed were selected by exclusion and inclusion criteria, which are set out here, using the health sciences descriptors “uterine fibroids”, “black women and uterine fibroids”, “genetic factors and uterine fibroids” and “environmental factors and uterine fibroids”, reaching a total of 617 articles searched and 9 used in this study. Genetic studies have suggested a genetic predisposition to the development of uterine fibroids in black women, with the identification of genetic variants associated with a higher risk. In addition, social factors such as limited access to quality healthcare, socioeconomic inequalities and exposure to psychosocial stressors may also play an important role. Lack of access to preventive healthcare and unequal access to effective treatments may contribute to a higher prevalence of uterine fibroids in black women. Measures to reduce this disparity include promoting equitable access to healthcare, reproductive health education and public policies that address the underlying causes of health inequalities. The correlation between uterine fibroids and black women highlights the need for integrated approaches that consider both genetic and social factors. Promoting equity in access to health care and implementing public policies aimed at women’s health are key to reducing the incidence of uterine fibroids and improving the quality of life of black women.

Brazil has faced a significant increase in the number of dengue cases in recent decades, which represents a challenge for public health authorities. Several factors may contribute to this increase, including deforestation and globalization, which have a direct impact on the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the dengue vector. The aims of this study are to investigate the relationship between increased deforestation and globalization and the increase in dengue cases in Brazil and to analyse the mechanisms by which deforestation and globalization can influence the spread of dengue. The methodology in question is a systematic review, using the narrative method, using quantitative and qualitative factors to reach the expected result. The DataSus/Tabnet, Terrabrasilis, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Virtual Health Library databases were also used, using the health sciences descriptors “Dengue hospitalizations”, “Deforestation and Arboviruses”, “Deforestation and Dengue” and “Globalization and Dengue”, totalling 84 works and 8 works of literature were used in the formulation of this review and 2 references were formulated through the quantitative databases. Deforestation can increase the incidence of dengue, as it creates favorable environments for the reproduction of the transmitting mosquito, such as the accumulation of water in tires, cans and abandoned containers. In addition, deforestation can lead to the migration of populations from rural to urban areas, increasing exposure to endemic areas of the disease. Globalization can also contribute to the increase in dengue cases by facilitating the transport of infected people and the mosquito vector between different regions. Increased international trade and tourism can expand the spread of the dengue virus to new areas. The increase in the number of dengue cases in Brazil is related to deforestation and globalization, which create favourable conditions for the propagation of the mosquito vector and the spread of the dengue virus between different regions. Disease control measures must take these factors into account and include actions to monitor deforestation, vector control and public health education in order to reduce the incidence of dengue in the country.
近几十年来，巴西的登革热病例大幅增加，这对公共卫生部门来说是一个挑战。导致登革热病例增加的因素可能有几个，其中包括森林砍伐和全球化，它们对登革热病媒埃及伊蚊的扩散有直接影响。本研究的目的是调查森林砍伐增加和全球化与巴西登革热病例增加之间的关系，并分析森林砍伐和全球化影响登革热传播的机制。研究方法是采用叙述法进行系统综述，利用定量和定性因素来达到预期结果。本综述还使用了 DataSus/Tabnet、Terrabrasilis、PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Virtual Health Library 等数据库，使用了健康科学描述词 "登革热住院"、"森林砍伐与虫媒病毒"、"森林砍伐与登革热 "和 "全球化与登革热"，共计 84 篇文献和 8 篇文献被用于编写本综述，2 篇参考文献通过定量数据库编写。砍伐森林会增加登革热的发病率，因为它会为传播蚊子的繁殖创造有利环境，如轮胎、罐子和废弃容器中的积水。此外，砍伐森林还可能导致人口从农村向城市地区迁移，从而增加与登革热流行区的接触机会。全球化也会促进受感染人群和蚊媒在不同地区之间的传播，从而导致登革热病例的增加。国际贸易和旅游业的增加会使登革热病毒传播到新的地区。巴西登革热病例的增加与森林砍伐和全球化有关，这为蚊媒的传播和登革热 病毒在不同地区之间的传播创造了有利条件。疾病控制措施必须考虑到这些因素，并包括监测森林砍伐、病媒控制和公共卫生教育等行动，以减少登革热在该国的发病率。

Background: Medical professionals nowadays must be well-versed in the most recent, scientifically confirmed facts on illness diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. Despite the fact that there are an increasing number and variety of information sources available to physicians, many questions remain concerning the authenticity, quality, and usefulness of medical information. With the goal of improving current medical information delivery, new methodologies are needed to assess doctors’ real-life demands. Objective: The goal of this study was to explore the information requirements and seeking behaviour of Portuguese’s neurologists treating patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and migraine. Methods: An exploratory mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) investigation of 15 consecutive days was conducted. It was necessary to recruit a total of 50 neurologists (25 MS experts and 25 migraine specialists). An instant messaging programme built for this study was used to gather data. Personal interviews were conducted by computer at each information-seeking session, which included semi structured interviews and closed-ended questions. Content analysis was used to identify emergent themes from the mobile app interactions and physician enquiries. Results: A total of 36/20, or 71 percent, of the questions posed by neurologists were linked to treatment management and pharmacological information, followed by diagnostic techniques and procedures. Online resources were preferred by doctors (48/50, 96 percent) over offline alternatives (24/50, 47 percent) in a quantitative study. In 33% of information-seeking activities, a multi-channel strategy was used, which included using both online and offline resources to address the same demand. Neurologists were more likely to use internet resources than offline ones (F=1.7; P=.01) to get information. Compared to migraine neurologists, MS specialists were 53% more likely to participate in a single information-seeking event (risk ratio 1.54; 95% CI 1.12 to 2.05). More than two-thirds of MS specialists (28 percent [7/25] vs. 10 percent [2/25], P=.06) were interested in patient-related material, whereas migraine physicians (85% [21/25] vs. 60% [15/25], P=.05) were more inclined to seek information on treatment management. Both online and offline information searching was more difficult for migraine experts (F=12.5, P=.01) and offline channels were utilised less often (30 percent [8/25] versus 60 percent of information-seeking events, P=.02). To get information from various sources, both migraine and MS experts reported lower satisfaction rates (single source vs multiple sources P=.003). Conclusion: Portuguese MS and migraine neurologists are described in great depth in this research, including their real-life search activity as well as educational requirements and information sources they use. Neurologist information demands and information-seeking behaviour are influenced by their professional field. Identifying the

This article examines the complexity of population aging, highlighting the social, economic and political dynamics that shape the experience of older people. Through a comparative approach between Brazil and Argentina, we explore public policies, cultural changes and the challenges faced by this growing part of society. Based on authors such as Austerlitz, Sen and Palacios, the study addresses the need for public investments, the importance of recognizing the rights of the elderly and transformations in care models. By analyzing specific legislation, such as the Statute of the Elderly in Brazil and the Inter-American Convention on the Human Rights of the Elderly in Argentina, we highlight advances and challenges. We conclude by highlighting the urgency of a comprehensive approach that goes beyond standardization, involving the effective implementation of policies to guarantee a dignified quality of life for the elderly population.

Introduction: Handball is a team sport with intermittent characteristics, alternating high intensity stimuli with periods of low intensity. Handball is characterized by an aerobic predominance, but it is anaerobic stimuli that determine the actions of the game. As several anaerobic actions are performed during the game, understanding the resistance of this metabolism in athletes becomes important. Objective: To compare the variables of anaerobic resistance in young players from different handball positions. Materials and methods: twenty female players with an average age of 16.8± 0.8 years participated in this study. The Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was performed, which consisted of 6 sprints of 35 meters of running. Maximum, average and minimum power (absolute and relative) and fatigue index were calculated. Statistics with mean, standard deviation were used. To compare the different groups, ANOVA was used. Results: It was possible to observe values without significant statistical differences between the athletes in absolute power. In relative powers, it was possible to verify that point guards and wingers had higher values than goalkeepers and pivots (p<0.05). In relation to the fatigue index, wingers and point guards had lower values than goalkeepers and pivots (p<0.05). Conclusion: both in terms of power and fatigue index, point guards and wingers have better anaerobic conditioning than strikers and pivots. And pivots have better anaerobic capacity than goalkeepers. Further research on this topic is suggested to further consolidate the subject.

Further research on this topic is suggested to further consolidate the subject.","PeriodicalId":507713,"journal":{"name":"Health and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140452773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: The HIV/AIDS epidemic poses a global challenge to public health, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigating the effects of this health crisis on AIDS epidemiology in Brazil is crucial. Methodology: Epidemiological, descriptive, and retrospective study using SINAN data from 2014 to 2022, totaling 187,947 cases. Quantitative analysis of distribution by sex, age, race, and region. Results: Reduction in cases observed from 2017, more pronounced in men and in the Southeast and South regions. Male predominance (70% of cases). Concentration in the age range of 20 to 49 years (75% of cases). Browns and blacks more affected. Discussion: Integration of different epidemiological dimensions provides a comprehensive overview of the epidemic in Brazil. Highlights the need for tailored public policies, improvement of information systems, and surveillance. Conclusion: Between 2014 and 2022, analysis of AIDS epidemiological data in Brazil reveals a decrease in diagnoses, particularly among men in the Southeast and South, with possible underreporting. Male predominance, concentration of cases among 20 to 49-year-olds, and racial disparities necessitate customized policies. Enhancing information systems is crucial.
