Arthropod-borne viral diseases are acute febrile illnesses, sometimes with chronic effects, that can be debilitating and even fatal worldwide, affecting particularly vulnerable populations. Indigenous communities face not only the burden of these acute febrile illnesses, but also the cardiovascular complications that are worsened by urbanization. A cross-sectional study was conducted in an Indigenous population in the Northeast Region of Brazil to explore the association between arboviral infections (dengue, chikungunya, and Zika) and cardiac biomarkers, including cardiotrophin 1, growth differentiation factor 15, lactate dehydrogenase B, fatty-acid-binding protein 3, myoglobin, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin I, big endothelin 1, and creatine kinase-MB, along with clinical and anthropometric factors.

Article Synopsis
- * Among 94 patients, most were male and half had a history of hypertension; commonly observed kidney issues included collapsing glomerulopathy (CG), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).
- * Results indicated that FSGS and minimal change disease (MCD) were linked to better kidney survival compared to TMA, underscoring differences in kidney complications resulting from COVID-19 within this patient group.
Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries, due to factors such as lifestyle changes and the rise of non-communicable diseases. Populations living in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas are subject to a higher burden of CKD. However, the burden of CKD on Brazilian Indigenous people, especially those undergoing an advanced urbanisation process, has not yet been described.

- Dengue, a viral infection transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, hit record levels in Brazil in early 2024 with over 1.3 million probable cases reported.
- The study utilized time series and spatial analysis to identify trends and high-risk areas, revealing significant increases in cases, particularly in the Northeast and South regions.
- A detailed analysis pinpointed risk areas, with the highest concentration of cases and relative risk found in Minas Gerais, highlighting the need for targeted public health interventions.
Sex-Related Glycemic and Cardiovascular Responses After Continuous and Interval Aerobic Sessions in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Crossover Study.
Am J Cardiol
October 2024
We aimed to investigate sex-related glycemic and cardiovascular responses after intensity- (moderate) and duration- (30 minutes) matched interval aerobic exercise (IAE) and continuous (CAE) aerobic exercise sessions in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). A total of 19 volunteers (10 women) participated in 2 randomized and crossover sessions (1:1). Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, double product, and blood glucose (BG) levels were measured before (PRE), immediately after (POST-0), and 20 minutes after (POST-20) each session.
