What happened to health labour markets during COVID-19? Insights from the analysis of cross-sectional survey data on the perceptions of medical doctors in Brazil.

Objectives: To examine physicians' perceptions of changing employment opportunities in Brazil, and gain an insight into labour markets in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) during the pandemic.

Settings: São Paulo and Maranhão states in Brazil.

Liver Elastography in Acute Cellular Rejection After Liver Transplantation.

Background: Transient elastography is a noninvasive method used to estimate the liver stiffness. There are few studies using elastography in acute cellular rejection (ACR). ACR is one of the main complications after liver transplantation.

Early Graft Dysfunction Evaluation by Indocyanine Green Plasma Clearance Rate in the Immediate Postoperative Period After Liver Transplantation.

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) has evolved to improve graft and patient survival. Early graft dysfunction (EGD) and primary nonfunction are an important cause of morbi-mortality. We had formulated the scientific hypothesis that the liver function can be evaluated by the indocyanine green (IG) after LT.

The role of private education in the selection of primary care careers in low and middle-income countries. Findings from a representative survey of medical residents in Brazil.

Background: Primary health care (PHC) doctors' numbers are dwindling in high- as well as low-income countries, which is feared to hamper the achievement of Universal Health Coverage goals. As a large proportion of doctors are privately educated and private medical schools are becoming increasingly common in middle-income settings, there is a debate on whether private education represents a suitable mean to increase the supply of PHC physicians. We analyse the intentions to practice of medical residents in Brazil to understand whether these differ for public and private schools.
