Respiratory diseases pose a significant threat to the health of the Brazilian population, ranking among the leading causes of hospitalizations and deaths in the country. The most impacted demographics are children, adolescents, and older adults, who respectively have the highest rates of hospitalizations and deaths. An exploratory ecological study was conducted to assess the spatio-temporal distribution of hospitalizations and deaths due to respiratory diseases among children, adolescents, and older adults residing in municipalities in the Brazilian Legal Amazon.

- Smoking leads to 8 million deaths annually and is the top cause of death in France due to various diseases. Minimal advice to quit smoking has proven effective, and the French High Health Authority recommends it for all patients.
- This study aimed to evaluate the impact of spirometry combined with minimal advice on smoking cessation rates among French military smokers compared to minimal advice alone.
- Results showed no significant difference in cessation rates between the two groups (17% vs. 18%), suggesting that spirometry doesn't enhance quitting success, but the overall cessation rates exceeded expectations, indicating minimal advice should be promoted in practice.
The use of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in the establishment of an urban protected area can enhance the positive impacts and mitigate the negative impacts resulting from its implementation. Brazil hosts some of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world and the HIA may benefit biodiversity and human health. These areas are commonly created without any preceding survey to assess their impacts on health.

Civilian GPs encounter certain difficulties during the care of such patients. The practice of unit medicine in a military environment differs from that in a civilian context through expertise in fitness to serve and to deployment and the target population.
