This study aim at analyzing the relationship between the epidemic profile of the Brazilian Northeastern region and the scientific production of the Masters Degree Program in Nursing/UFC, through the identification of the themes researched between 1995 and 2001. In order to achieve these objectives, we developed an exploratory and descriptive study which had as its primary source data from OPAS/OMS, demographic and socioeconomic indicators and IDB for 2000, which reflected on the classification of themes according to the "Categorical Scheme for Lines of research". Results showed that most of the scientific production in this program relates to the following lines of research: life quality and determinants of disease and health (71.3%) which relates to the assistance field and "technology in nursing" (57.2), which relates to the professional field. We believe that these two lines of research are in accordance with the priorities of research of CNPq (National Research Council) and that they meet social demands. We suggest the development of research related to children's and elderly's health as well as violence in order to meet the needs generated by the epidemic profile of the Northeastern region.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a major public health challenge globally, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where it is identified as the second most prevalent form of cancer. Despite advancements in management strategies, tailored guidelines specific to the Gulf region are lacking. This paper presents consensus recommendations developed by a panel of experts from the GCC countries to address this gap.

Background: Despite the increasing substance use in Canada, our understanding of how substance use varies based on the intersections of gender, ethnicity/race, and income sources among preclinical populations remains limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate, among clients of mental health and addiction (MHA) intake in Nova Scotia: 1) the prevalence of substance use by gender, ethnicity, and income source; 2) the routes of substance administration; 3) factors associated with substance use. Understanding how gender, ethnicity, and income sources intersect to influence substance use patterns is essential for designing prevention and treatment strategies tailored to an individual's unique needs.
