- Chronic kidney disease is placing a strain on dialysis services, with unclear global prevalence data; this study aims to assess the epidemiological profile of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy in Paraíba from 2009 to 2013.
- The research, based on a large dataset, identifies trends such as a higher prevalence of dialysis requests among males and whites and highlights that many patients rely on hemodialysis without the ideal vascular access.
- It also shows rising treatment costs, indicating that renal replacement therapy expenses increased from 2.89% to 3.32% of state health spending during the observation period.

Immunization is one of the most effective measures in public health, and it is responsible for the reduction of vaccine-preventable diseases. In the present study, vaccine coverage (VC) and the spatial dynamics of homogeneity of VC (HVC) were compared and analyzed in the terms of the immunobiologicals administered to children aged < 1 year in a state in Paraíba, Brazil. This is a mixed ecological study that used public-domain secondary data from the years 2016 and 2017 from the Information System of the Brazilian National Immunization Program (SI-PNI) and the Brazilian National Information System of Live Births (SINASC).

Brazil is the main consumer of pesticides in the world. Large-scale use of these products is likely to contaminate major environmental compartments and expose more people to their toxic effects. Therefore, this literature review was carried out to seek supporting elements for a qualified discussion about the performance of Environmental Surveillance (HS) within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) related to air contamination by pesticides and health risks.
