    Abstract Background: Visceral leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease of great importance to public health due to its wide distribution and close relationship with social and economic conditions. This study aimed to analyse the spatiotemporal dynamics of human visceral leishmaniasis (HVL) in an endemic state in the Northeast Region of Brazil and its spatial correlation with the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and the Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI).
    Methods: The study included all confirmed cases of HVL in Bahia from 2010 to 2017. A joinpoint regression model was used for trend analysis. Incidence rates were smoothed by a local empirical Bayesian model. Global and local Moran indices and space-time scan statistics were used for identification of spatial clusters. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to investigate the relationship between HVL incidence and the SVI and MHDI.
    Results: Cases of HVL demonstrated stationary behaviour during the period analysed. A significant association was observed between the HVL incidence rate and social vulnerability, with high-risk clusters concentrated in the central region of the state.
    Conclusions: HVL has a strong correlation with social vulnerability in the state of Bahia. This study may provide assistance in planning actions and organizing health services to combat HVL.

    Abstract Environmental pressures challenge the survivorship of wildlife, and adaptive ability is key to their success and establishment. However, it remains unclear how changes in environmental conditions affect the phenotypic plasticity of some species. Studies that consider the effect of the environment (e.g., climate changes) on species morphology are essential to better understand his potential resilience. Thus, Diptera species appear as an excellent model. Here we investigated the effect of environmental conditions on wing size and shape within and between one native and one invasive blowfly species populations, along an ecoregional gradient in Brazil. For native species, wing size was affected by almost all environmental variables, while wing shape was unaffected. For invasive species, humidity best explained both wing size and wing shape variation. Our results show a differentiation between populations for both species, but a transversal comparison reveals that invasive species do not seem to be affected in the same way as the native species by climatic variations in the field. Temperature and humidity are the most significant environmental variables associated with differences in wing size and shape for invasive species, indicating an elevated climate tolerance of this species, which may be associated with its invasive characteristics and adaptive potential. Thus, our findings shed light on the importance of assessing the individual and compound effect of environmental variation and biological invasion on the adaptation of native species, since it is expected to increase 3 °C with a 20% overall reduction in the amount of rainfall in the tropical region of Brazil by 2100.

    Abstract Background: More than 95% of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) cases in Latin America occur in Brazil, most of them in the northeast. The objective of this study was to identify spatial clusters with the highest risks of VL and to analyse the temporal behaviour of the incidence and the effects of social vulnerability on the disease transmission dynamic in northeastern Brazil.
    Methods: All confirmed cases registered as residents in the state of Pernambuco during the period from 2007 to 2017 were analysed. The local empirical Bayesian method was applied and the association -between the VL incidence rate and municipal social vulnerability was tested via classic multivariate regression.
    Results: A total of 1186 new cases were registered during the study period. Spatial analysis showed heterogeneous distribution, with the highest rates observed in the São Francisco and Sertão mesoregions. Moreover, the main factors associated with VL were urban infrastructure, income and work.
    Conclusions: It was observed that spatial and temporal techniques are important tools for defining risk areas for VL, in conjunction with the evaluation of indexes of social vulnerability, which was shown to be an important factor for comprehending associations with VL in the state of Pernambuco.

    Abstract Objectives: To perform an overview in order to identify risk factors related to the development of Adverse Drug Events (ADE) in hospitalized patients. Methods: A search for systematic reviews and meta-analyses was carried out in the Pubmed, Scopus, Lilacs and Scielo databases, until August 19, 2021. The search strategies contained the following MeSH descriptors: Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions; Inpatients; Hospitalization; Hospitals; Hospital; Logistics Models; Risk Factors; Drug Therapy; Risk Assessment; Pharmacy Service, Adverse Drug Events; Adverse Drug Reactions; Medication Errors; Risk; Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. From this, publications in English, Portuguese or Spanish that exposed possible risk factors for ADE during hospitalization were included. Works were excluded when: characterized as narrative reviews, expert opinions, editorials, overview and reviews without a transparent search strategy; restricted to certain drug classes, patient groups or clinical features; reported only the assessment of Medication Errors (ME); they were duplicated; did not provide abstract and full text. Two independent authors performed the selection of studies, a third researcher was requested when there was disagreement. The studies that met the criteria for data extraction underwent a thematic analysis and, based on reading, the risk factors for ADE were raised. Results: Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria: ten systematic reviews and one meta-analysis. “Number of prescribed drugs” (OR: 1,21; CI95%: 1,03-1,44; p: 0,024), “Advanced age” (OR: 2,12; CI 95%: 1,70-2,65; p: 0,000) and “Comorbidities” were the most cited risk factors, other characteristics described less frequently were “Hospital Length (HL)”, “Allergies” and “Female sex”. Furthermore, it has been observed that the use of certain medications can increase the patient’s risk. Conclusions: The realization of overview made it possible to identify risk factors for ADE, which can help hospital teams to direct their care actions to ...

    Abstract ABSTRACT Increase on intensive monocultures is an important threat to Caatinga biodiversity decrease. The use of chemical insecticides directly affects insect natural enemies of crops, but also non-target species. We aimed to test whether the diversity of sarcosaprophagous flies would be affected by agricultural management (conventional and organic). Adult dipterans were collected monthly, from July 2015 to January 2016, using a grid composed of 12 suspended traps distant 20 m from each other, baited with 150 g of sardine or bovine spleen, in each type of management. We first calculated α-diversity by Hill numbers, then evaluated the difference of diversity metrics by ANOVA. We also graphically visualise the species composition distribution by NMDS. We recorded a total of 4,651 specimens of 15 Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae species. Chrysomya spp. were the dominant species (93.7% of all blowflies). Sarcophagidae species were sampled in low abundance, but with exclusive presence of some species in each treatment (e.g. B laesoxipha stallengi and Ravinia belforti in organic management). Although there was no difference on sarcosaprophagous fly diversity between treatments, we demonstrate empirically that mango plantations in the Caatinga harbour diverse and abundant assemblages of sarcosaprophagous dipterans, whose richness of species is comparable to other ecosystems such as rainforests and urban areas. Our results expand the known geographical range for forensically relevant species by providing a checklist of sarcosaprophagous dipterans that can thrive in agroecosystems in the Caatinga and, potentially, colonize cadavers disposed in that type of environment.

    Abstract Liver fibrosis is the result of an exacerbated wound-healing response associated with chronic liver injury. Advanced liver fibrosis results in cirrhosis, liver failure, and portal hypertension and frequently requires liver transplantation. The host immune response has an important role driving fibrosis deposition by activating hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a cytokine that plays a key role in promoting antimicrobial immunity and tissue repair at barrier surfaces. Data from literature suggest that IL-22 has a protective role in the liver by reducing fibrosis in some pathological conditions, however the results are contradictory. This review highlights current knowledge of IL-22' role in chronic liver injury, as well as its therapeutic potential for the treatment of chronic liver injury.
