Evaluation of guidelines on antimicrobials use in food-producing animals: a systematic review.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health problem due to misuse/overuse of antimicrobials. The interplay between humans, animals, and the environment requires a One Health approach for effective AMR control. We focused this research on antimicrobial use in food-producing animals (bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and swine) to assess the compliance of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries (members, partners, and candidates) with international guidelines: Codex Alimentarius: Code of Practice to Minimize and Contain Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance, and the Terrestrial Animal Health Code.

T-cell branched glycosylation as a mediator of colitis-associated colorectal cancer progression: a potential new risk biomarker in inflammatory bowel disease.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, established as a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Long-standing inflammation appears to play a central role in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). However, the molecular mechanism underlying CAC progression is still elusive.

[Primary health organization models and care practices for people with disabilities in Brazil].

The scope of the Care Network for People with Disabilities in Brazil is to enhance access to, and improve health care for, people with disabilities (PwD) with the participation of primary health care (PHC). The objective of this study was to estimate the association between the PHC organization model and health practices aimed at PwD at this level of care. It involved a cross-sectional study with 1,377 qualified PHC professionals in 8 Brazilian states, part of the REDECIN-BRASIL survey.

Muscle glycome in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: Impact in IL-6 production and disease prognosis.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of chronic autoimmune diseases mainly affecting proximal muscles. Absence of meaningful prognostic factors in IIM has hindered new therapies development. Glycans are essential molecules that regulate immunological tolerance and consequently the onset of autoreactive immune response.
