Material deprivation, racial inequalities and mortality from female breast, prostate, and cervical neoplasm in the Brazilian adult population: an ecological study.

This article aims to identify the relationship between material deprivation and mortality from breast, cervical, and prostate neoplasms in the Brazilian adult population and the relationship between ethnicity/skin color and material deprivation. This cross-sectional ecological study calculated the mean mortality rate per 100,000 inhabitants, and deaths were standardized by age and gender and redistributed per to ill-defined causes, stratified by age group and ethnicity/skin color. We applied the Negative Binomial model, containing the interaction between ethnicity/skin color and the Brazilian Deprivation Index (IBP).

New records on autogenic behavior among populations of Ornithodoros fonsecai (Labruna and Venzal, 2009) (Ixodida: Argasidae) from northeastern Brazil.

Ornithodoros fonsecai is an argasid tick that is endemic to Brazil. The autogeny (the oviposition without a blood meal) can be facultative or obligatory in female ticks of the family Argasidae. The present study reports new records on the facultative autogeny among populations of O.

Impact of environmentally relevant concentrations of glyphosate on Boana faber tadpoles exposed in the laboratory: morphological and functional markers.

This study evaluated the effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide on the oxidative balance, energy metabolism, and body condition indices in tadpoles of Boana faber. Anuran spawns were collected, and after hatching and reaching Gosner stage 25, they were acclimated and exposed (168hours) to concentrations of glyphosate (G1: 65, G2: 260, and G3: 520µg/L). The body condition markers revealed a significant decrease in all these biomarkers in G2 and G3.

The effectiveness of non-exposure to incarceration in preventing COVID-19 and mitigating associated events: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: For a long time, the penalty of imprisonment has been studied and criticized as ineffective in achieving the goals of resocialization and rehabilitation of offenders, and studies have associated incarceration with increased prevalence of disease. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization recommended decarceration as a prevention measure. The aim of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of non-exposure to incarceration in preventing COVID-19 and mitigating associated events.
