Background: Despite the preventive policies adopted, reduction in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among men who have sex with men (MSM) has been limited. The risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has increased among the most vulnerable population groups, including MSM. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of HCV infection and to assess risky practices among MSM from 12 Brazilian cities.

- - Endometriosis, affecting 10-15% of women, involves the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, and this study explores the connection between altered iron metabolism and environmental metal accumulation in this condition.
- - The researchers used advanced imaging techniques, including X-ray Fluorescence microscopy, to study ovarian endometriomas in patients, revealing high levels of iron and other toxic metals like lead and aluminum.
- - Findings suggest that the accumulation and co-localization of iron and environmental metals could play a role in the development of endometriosis, highlighting potential environmental impacts on the disease.
Objective: To identify and synthesize the scientific knowledge produced regarding the effectiveness of the GeneXpert test in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in people living with HIV/AIDS.
Methods: Integrative literature review, which was searched on Embase, Scopus, PubMed, Cinahl, Academic Search Premier, Socindex, and LILACS platforms, in December 2019. The studies surveyed went through two stages of selection: reading of titles and abstracts by two reviewers independently; using the Rayyan platform and reading.
