Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) infection has been a serious health problem in pediatric age groups globally, and especially in African countries such as Angola. Our aim was to determine the prevalence rate, accumulate incidence rate, and mortality rate of HIV/AIDS infection in children under 14 years of age residing in four municipalities of Malanje (Malanje, Cacuso, Calandula, and Caculama), from 2010 to 2021.
Methodology: This was a documentary research study, with data from 2010 to 2021, developed from a sample size of 10,984 children.

Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are rapidly increasing in Italy due to aging, preventable risk factors, and worsening socioeconomic context. T2DM and its sequelae take a heavy toll on healthcare systems and the economy, given costly management, difficulties in coping with everyday life, and decreasing patient/worker productivity. Considering long life expectancy in Italy and a decreasing mortality rate due to T2DM, this study aims to calculate the years lived with disability (YLDs) of T2DM and its sequelae grouped into three categories: Neuropathy, Chronic Kidney Disease and No Complications, taking into consideration sex, year, and geographical location.
