Racial and Socioeconomic Inequities in COVID-19 In-Hospital Mortality in Brazil in the Post-Emergency Era: A National Cohort Study of 19,718 Hospitalized Adults in 2024

Abstract Background In 2024, COVID-19 entered a post-emergency phase, but in-hospital mortality remains a relevant public health concern in Brazil. As population immunity, vaccination, and clinical management evolved, the hierarchy of mortality predictors may have shifted from tr...

ANTHROPOGENIC PRESSURES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION IN THE AMAZONIAN COASTAL ZONE: THE VILLAGE OF SÃO JOSÉ DO GURUPI (VISEU, PARÁ, BRAZIL)

Amazonian fluvio-estuarine coastal zones are highly dynamic environments in which natural processes interact with human activities, creating significant challenges for environmental management. This study evaluated anthropogenic pressures and their effectson the environmental int...

Factors associated with tuberculosis-attributed mortality in the Brazilian Amazon: a population-based retrospective cohort study with survival and competing-risk analyses

Abstract Background Tuberculosis mortality remains a major public health challenge in the Brazilian Amazon, where clinical vulnerability, social inequities, and heterogeneous access to healthcare may contribute to poor outcomes. This study aimed to identify factors associated wit...

Detailed breakdown of companies carbon footprints per origin of emissions using distributed input output analysis

A new approach based on input–output (IO) analysis has emerged recently to estimate the carbon footprints of companies and their products from cradle to gate, using a distributed iterative framework with all companies interacting to solve the high dimensionality IO linear system....

Effects of 24-Epibrassinolide Application on the Development of Dipteryx odorata: Between Growth Stimulation and Inhibitory Effects

Abstract Dipteryx odorata , the Tonka Bean tree, is an Amazonian tree species of high ecological and economic importance, widely used in reforestation and restoration programs. This study evaluated the effects of exogenous application of 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) on the morphol...

Toxicological evidence that methylmercury exposure amplifies bone destruction and systemic impact associated with apical periodontitis in rats

Abstract This study investigated whether long-term methylmercury exposure aggravates apical periodontitis in Wistar rats. Thirty-two male rats (90 days old) were randomized into four groups (n = 8): control, methylmercury, apical periodontitis, and methylmercury + apical periodon...

Persistent Redox Imbalance in Post-COVID-19 Syndrome: Lipid Peroxidation, Antioxidant Enzyme Depletion, and Reduced Nitric Oxide Availability in an Amazonian Population

Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) can persist even after mild acute illness, and oxidative stress has been proposed as a central mechanism for this persistence, although it remains poorly studied in the Amazon. This study characterized redox imbalance in patients with PCS through a co...

Diabetes Mellitus and Long-Distance Running: A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND: Athletes with diabetes increasingly participate in endurance running, benefiting from physiological adaptations and technological advances like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for glycemic control. So far, no comprehensive review summarizing the current knowledge...
