Article Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) has a high incidence in several countries and is even more severe in prisoners. We evaluated the completeness of prisoners TB notifications in the Notifiable Disease Information System (SINAN) carried out by prison primary care teams (eAPP) or by other health facilities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). This descriptive cross-sectional study used prisoners data notifications in the SINAN TB by the eAPP or other health facilities from January 2014 to November 2018. We analyzed the percentage of completeness of the variables: gender, ethnicity, schooling, HIV, entry type, sputum smear, sputum culture, AIDS, ART during TB treatment, directly observed treatment (DOT), sixth-month smear, and closure status. Around 52.9% of TB cases in prisoners were reported by eAPP, and other health facilities reported 47.1% of the cases. Eighty percent of the variables were classified in category 4 (75.1% to 100% completeness). However, the DOT and sixth-month smear variables were classified into category 3 (50.1% and 75% completeness). While it does not compromise the notification of TB in the SINAN, the lack of data can impair the quality of information about the disease.

Patient-specific image-based finite element analysis (FEA) offers a noninvasive method to estimate bone stiffness and strength, but its clinical translation requires thorough verification and validation. While previous studies provide resolution-dependent errors in trabecular bone morphometric indices, there remains a need to extend these analyses to include mechanical property predictions. This study examined microcomputed tomography (μCT) voxel size effects on trabecular bone morphometric analyses and predictions of apparent elastic modulus (Eapp) and trabecular stress.

Homogeneity of pharmacological prescription and control measures applied in cases of scabies detected amongst inmates in Catalonia.
Rev Esp Sanid Penit

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the consistency of scabies treatment and control measures across different prisons in Catalonia over a year-long period.
- A total of 269 scabies cases were identified, with significant variations in drug prescriptions, treatment duration, and cell disinfection methods across facilities.
- The findings highlight the need for a standardized protocol for managing scabies cases in Catalonian prisons to improve treatment consistency and effectiveness.

Background: The SCHUMANN study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the selective P2 × 3 antagonist eliapixant in patients with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP).
Methods: SCHUMANN was a randomized, placebo- and active comparator-controlled, double-blind to placebo and open-label to comparator, parallel-group, multicenter, dose-finding phase 2b study. The participants were women with surgically diagnosed endometriosis who fulfilled defined EAPP criteria.
