Objective: To characterize the sociodemographic profile of street people (SP) registered on the Single Register for Social Programs (CadÚnico) as at 2019 and tuberculosis morbidity in this population notified on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (Sinan) from 2014 to 2018.

Methods: This was a descriptive study carried out with data from Sinan and CadÚnico.

Results: 127,536 people registered on CadÚnico and 14,059 with tuberculosis notified on Sinan were included in the study.

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign intraosseous lesion of the head and neck with potential for aggressive and locally destructive behaviour. Lesions of the maxilla tend to expand more than those of the mandible due to the thinner cortices and spongy tissue of this location. Surgical removal is the most common treatment; however, it may be disfiguring in aggressive cases, especially for lesions located in the maxilla.

Article Synopsis
  • Mytella guyanensis and Mytella charruana are important bivalves in Brazil's coastal ecosystem but lack genetic data to inform government policies.
  • A study using allozyme electrophoresis found that M. guyanensis populations showed high gene identity, while both species displayed significant population structure and variability in heterozygosity levels.
  • The estimated effective population sizes for M. guyanensis and M. charruana were much smaller than their actual sizes, indicating the need for long-term genetic studies to accurately assess their viability for sustainability.
