Scoping Review on Interventions for Physical Activity and Physical Literacy Components in Brazilian School-Aged Children and Adolescents.

This scoping review mapped the existing evidence on interventions to promote physical activity (PA) and/or components of physical literacy (PL) in Brazilian school-aged children and adolescents. Nine electronic databases and gray literature were consulted in May 2020, with no limit on year or language. School-based intervention studies (6 to 18 years old, primarily) that assessed PA or PL components (PA-related factors or attributes) were eligible.

Scaling up of Eco-Bio-Social Strategy to Control in Highly Vulnerable Areas in Fortaleza, Brazil: A Cluster, Non-Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol.

is a cosmopolitan vector for arboviruses dengue, Zika and chikungunya, disseminated in all Brazilian states. The Eco-Bio-Social (EBS) strategy is vital in control as it mobilizes stakeholders (government, professionals, society, and academics) to promote healthy environments.

The Impact of Addition of Consolidation Chemotherapy to Standard Cisplatin-Based Chemoradiotherapy in Uterine Cervical Cancer: Matter of Distant Relapse.

Background: Treatment of advanced uterine cervical cancer has advanced little in the last 15 years. Although two phase III trials showed survival benefit with the addition of consolidation chemotherapy (CT) after cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy (RTCT), it is not considered standard of care. We aimed to evaluate the benefit of consolidation CT compared to no additional treatment in patients treated with RTCT.

Risk factors for pelvic and distant recurrence in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Objective: Despite the benefits of concomitant radiotherapy and cisplatin for locally advanced cervical cancer, recurrence rates remain high. New treatment strategies such as consolidation chemotherapy and different concomitant chemotherapy combinations have been tested in recent years. Identification of the best candidates for each treatment strategy could optimize results.
