Yellow fever virus (YFV) circulates in a sylvatic cycle between non-human primates (NHPs) and arboreal mosquitoes in Brazil. Passive monitoring of ill or deceased NHPs is a key component of the Brazilian yellow fever (YF) surveillance program. Samples from NHPs carcasses are usually suitable for molecular tests but not for serological assays.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether combined moderate-intensity exercise could slow down harmful changes in the lungs and right heart in rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) induced by monocrotaline (MCT).
- Rats underwent a 3-week exercise program including aerobic and resistance training, which improved their physical endurance and prevented negative changes in pulmonary artery resistance and right ventricular function.
- The exercise also helped maintain heart cell function, reduced structural damage to the right ventricle and lungs, and lowered oxidative stress levels associated with PAH.
Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease endemic in Brazil. Morbidity and disabilities caused by CL lesions require an analysis of a Global Burden of Disease (GBD), which would help discern the impact on the Brazilian population. Herein, we assess the burden of CL and its spatial and temporal patterns in Brazil between 2001 and 2021.

Our approach, leveraging advanced NLP techniques and Named Entity Recognition (NER), is crucial for advancing pharmacogenomics and other scientific fields that benefit from streamlined access to literature through automated services like RESTful APIs.Building a new NLP model presents several challenges.

In Brazil, the most studied endemic area for the disease is the Amazon region. This study aims to analyze temporal, spatial, and spatiotemporal patterns of malaria in the extra-Amazon region of Brazil over a 22-year period.
