Long-Term Wastewater Surveillance for SARS-CoV-2: One-Year Study in Brazil.

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a tool involving the analysis of wastewater for chemicals and pathogens at the community level. WBE has been shown to be an effective surveillance system for SARS-CoV-2, providing an early-warning-detection system for disease prevalence in the community via the detection of genetic materials in the wastewater. In numerous nation-states, studies have indicated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater.

Retroperitoneal castleman disease mimicking lymph node spread from clear renal cell carcinoma. A case report.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) corresponds to 3% of the neoplasms in the adults. Surgery is the main mode of treatment, which can be associated toretroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in the presence of clinically tumor positive lymph nodes. Castleman Disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, with little-known etiopathogenesis.

Penile carcinoma and myiasis: A rare association. Case report and literature review.

Penile carcinoma is rare neoplasm in western countries. In development countries can constitute more than 10-20% malignant disease in men. It is usually seen in men with poor standards of penile hygiene.

Quality of life in panic disorder: the influence of clinical features and personality traits.

Objective: To identify which clinical features and personality traits are associated with quality of life (QoL) in panic disorder (PD) patients.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with PD patients. The brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI) were used to assess QoL and personality traits respectively.

Panic attack provocation in panic disorder patients with a computer simulation.

Background: Computer simulations (CS) and virtual reality exposure are promising techniques for research and treatment of panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA). The objective of this study was to ascertain whether a given CS was a stimulus capable of producing panic attacks (PAs), anxiety and psychophysiological changes in patients with PDA.

Methods: Thirty PDA patients and 30 healthy subjects were recruited for this study.
