Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how climate variables affect frog communities in urban ecosystems in Brazil, focusing on species richness, abundance, and temporal dynamics over three years.
- - Researchers used statistical models and various methods to analyze seasonality and biodiversity, finding that species richness remained relatively stable, while species abundance fluctuated more due to factors like humidity and temperature.
- - The results suggest that frog species composition in peri-urban areas tends to remain consistent over time, even amidst climate variations, which provides insights into species coexistence mechanisms and the effects of urbanization on biodiversity.
This paper aimed to identify instances of the use of data from the Primary Health Care Information System in the existing scientific literature. This study is an Integrative Literature Review and the search for articles was performed in May, 2013 in the Virtual Healthcare Library (MedLine, Lilacs and SciELO), considering publications from 2008 to 2012. The search for articles initially located 164 texts, though after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this review concentrated on 12 articles.

An attempt was made to describe methodological concepts and strategies. A comparative analysis of Institutional Support and Matrix Support was also conducted using the epistemological framework of Field and Core Knowledge and Practices.

Case Description:: A 5-year-old child has a violent and aggressive behavior at the daycare. The child was diagnosed by the healthcare center with depressive disorder and behavioral disorder, and was medicated with sertraline and risperidone.
The study aimed to construct and validate an instrument to assess the leprosy actions control in primary care from the perspective of community health agents (CHA). This is a methodological study to validate instruments, based on the Classical Test Theory. The instrument was administered to 380 CHA of three municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais, in the period from July to December 2012.

Background: Clinical oral health indicators do not assess the perceived impact of oral health on people's lives.
Methods: The study was performed through small group interviews, pilot studies and a main study with 200 people aged 50 and over.
Objective: To determine the validity and reliability of the version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool for adult users, adapted for Argentina (known as AR-PCAT-AE).
Methods: Two cross-sectional pilot studies were conducted among people over age 17, largely through self-administered questionnaires. Items that were equivalent to the original version of the PCAT and 13 others proposed for the instruments were analyzed.
