Article Abstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome is an important public health problem in Brazil due to the large number of cases. It has a high mortality rate related to risk factors that include systemic arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, male gender and advanced age. This cross-sectional and ecological study analyzed the spatial distribution of this disease related to the evolution of COVID-19 cases and their epidemiological, demographic, socioeconomic and public health policy conditions in the administrative districts of Belém, state of Pará, in the eastern Brazilian Amazon, from 2021 to 2023. Data from the Ministry of Health, the National Institute for Space Research and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics were used. The statistical and spatial analysis of the data used the chi-square test of equal expected proportions with a significance level of 0.05% and the techniques of ordinary multivariate linear regression and percentiles, with the results expressed by means of choropleth maps, using the Bioestat 5.4 and Arcgis 10.5.1 software. The epidemiological profile analyzed 3,511 cases, following the national pattern with statistical significance. The pathology was not distributed homogeneously in spatial terms and was associated with a territorial and socioeconomic segregation of the population in the neighborhoods and their administrative districts, with great differences in their demographic characteristics, living conditions and public services for treating the disease, especially when we consider the relationship between the outskirts and the center of the municipality. This has revealed unequal development, which has produced health inequalities in the study area. With that in mind, we emphasize the urgency of expanding these services in the places identified as most vulnerable, with a view to equal care access for the disease.

Introduction: Pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) is an antigenic variant of Avian Orthoavulavirus 1 (AOAV-1) (Newcastle disease virus) with a global distribution that causes lethal infections in pigeon and dove species. AOAV-1's infecting humans normally cause mild, self-limiting conjunctivitis, but since 2003, PPMV-1 has been associated with an increased number of severe and lethal respiratory and neurological infections in immunocompromised persons in the Netherlands, the USA, France, China and Australia.
Methods: PPMV-1's isolated from free-living pigeons and doves across South Africa from 2012 to 2024 were sequenced using conventional or next generation technologies.

Aim: To examine the association of family-centered care (FCC) with oral health indicators among children with special health care needs (CSHCN).
Methods: Data includes the CSHCN population from the 2017 to 2019 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). Four parent- and caregiver-reported binary oral health outcomes were assessed: preventive dental visits (PDVs), cavities, condition of teeth, and oral health problems.

Introduction: The climate crisis impacts global health and is exacerbated by the healthcare sector's emissions. Nurses, as the largest professional group, are key to promoting climate-resilient, low-carbon health systems. Integrating climate change and sustainable development into nursing education is crucial, yet gaps remain in understanding their representation in curricula and practice.

Background And Purpose: Socioeconomic determinants of health impact childhood development and adult health outcomes. One key aspect is the physical environment and neighborhood where children live and grow. Emerging evidence suggests that neighborhood deprivation, often measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), may influence neurodevelopment, but longitudinal and multimodal neuroimaging analyses remain limited.

Introduction: Risperidone is approved for behaviors and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), despite modest efficacy and known risks. Identifying responsive symptoms, treatment modifiers, and predictors is crucial for personalized treatment.
Method: A one-stage individual participant data meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials (risperidone: n = 1009; placebo: N = 712) was conducted.
