Confirmatory validation of the transgender health care humanization scale.
Int J Equity Health
December 2024
Background: Despite the critical importance of humanized healthcare for transgender individuals, no existing measures specifically assess care humanization for this population. The Transgender Health Care Humanization Scale (THcH Scale) was developed to address this gap, yet it initially lacked confirmatory validation. This study validates the Transgender THcH scale for evaluating healthcare providers' sensitivity towards transgender patients.

- The study aimed to evaluate the performance of Primary Health Care (PHC) based on nurses' and physicians' perspectives, focusing on its attributes.
- A scoping review was conducted using the PCATool-Brazil instrument across various databases, ultimately including 19 studies from multiple Brazilian states published between 2012 and 2022.
- Results indicated that PHC performance ratings were generally good (6.5 to 8.2), with accessibility being the weakest attribute while family orientation performed the best, suggesting further improvements are needed in access to health services.
Utilization of biodiesel residue through efficient microwave-assisted synthesis of carbon quantum dots: A versatile nanomaterial for environmental remediation.
Environ Res
January 2025
The rapid expansion of the biodiesel industry has substantially increased crude glycerol residue (CG) production, creating sustainability and economic challenges due to surplus glycerol generation. Conventional purification methods are costly and environmentally demanding, necessitating innovative strategies to utilize this residue effectively. This study innovates by exploring the microwave-assisted synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) from CG, exemplifying a shift toward sustainable biodiesel production by transforming the residue into a multifunctional material.

The aim of this study was to identify the inflammatory and nutritional status of elderly hemodialysis (HD) and its association with quality of life.
Methods: This study was carried out in health services in three different cities.
Objective: To analyze trends in epidemiological risk of leprosy in Goiás state, Brazil, and its health macro-regions, between 2010 and 2021.
Method: This is a time series analysis of the composite leprosy epidemiological risk index in Goiás. We used cases held on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System for calculating indicators separately and risk, classified as high, medium, low and very low.
