Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on chloroquine-resistant malaria in Brazil, specifically linked to illegal mining in the Roraima Yanomami Indigenous territory which increases the risk of resistant parasites.
- - Researchers collected blood samples from patients in Boa Vista and performed genetic analysis to understand mutations associated with chloroquine resistance, finding that 98% of participants were from mining areas.
- - The analysis revealed specific genetic mutations in the studied genes, but these mutations do not effectively predict chloroquine resistance, and there were no severe cases among the participants.
This longitudinal study aimed to assess the factors associated with motivation in 303 Brazilian medical students after a 30-month follow-up. Their demographics, study habits, sleep quality, motivation (Brazilian version of the Academic Motivation Scale-BAMS), learning approaches (R-SPQ-2F scale), and stressors (MSSF-Medical Student Stress Factor scale) were examined. We found an increase in amotivation and extrinsic motivation through external regulation (e.
