The More Doctors Program (PMM) launched in 2013 has set major changes in the health sector in motion. However, several changes in its operation have been noted in recent years due to a range of social and political events. This article seeks to identify and analyze the repercussions of the PMM in the Brazilian media after the impeachment occurred in 2016. It is an exploratory study based on the analysis of the subject matter gathered from the identification, selection and analysis of news coverage published in three newspapers with widespread circulation throughout Brazil (Jornal O Globo, Folha de São Paulo and Estadão), in the period from August 2016 to June 2018. The data collected were processed using Iramuteq software. The results reveal that the Cuban physicians and issues related to medical education and governability of the PMM were at the center of public news attention after the impeachment, with social actors beginning to defend new stances. Thus, although the implementation of the PMM is already well advanced and has popular support, important changes are being made and require thorough evaluation, seeking to guarantee the rights already acquired.

Objective: This study aimed to measure the impact of adverse events (AEs) on advanced practice provider (APP) well-being and to describe symptoms of second victim syndrome (SVS) among this group of healthcare professionals.
Methods: A survey was designed to measure the incidence of AEs among APPs employed at a large healthcare system and AE impact on emotional, physical, and professional well-being. It also measured burnout, callousness, and the desire for peer support among APPs who had experienced AEs and those who had not.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder lacking objective biomarkers for early diagnosis. DNA methylation is a promising epigenetic marker, and machine learning offers a data-driven classification approach. However, few studies have examined whole-blood, genome-wide DNA methylation profiles for ASD diagnosis in school-aged children.

Background The prognostic value of baseline visual emphysema scoring at low-dose CT (LDCT) in lung cancer screening cohorts is unknown. Purpose To determine whether a single visual emphysema score at LDCT is predictive of 25-year mortality from all causes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Materials and Methods In this prospective cohort study, asymptomatic adults aged 40-85 years with a history of smoking underwent baseline LDCT screening for lung cancer between June 2000 and December 2008.

Despite the widespread use of clinical anesthesia, the process of emergence from general anesthesia remains primarily driven by anesthetic elimination. Although emergence from general anesthesia is typically safe, prolonged delays strain resource-intensive settings and contribute to increased healthcare costs. In addition to improving access to care, providing clinicians with more precise control over emergence could offer diagnostic potential and improve patient outcomes.
