Although no significant changes in the tuberculosis indicators have been registered in Brazil in recent years, there is a clear shift in the political scenario regarding the manner this disease has been tackled, with the appearance of civil society standing out. Considerations about the conditions that contributed to its emergence are made, such as the origin, composition, actions, partners and perspectives on social mobilization. Due to initiatives for tuberculosis control on an international level and attempts to encourage social mobilization on state and municipal levels, the Brazilian federal government began to engage in a more consistent and coherent policy, also including civil society in its actions. In spite of being an actor acknowledged by the public power and considered strategic for the success of tuberculosis control actions, community participation requires incentives and constant support from other sectors.

Background: The accuracy and reliability of identified biomarkers in differentiating early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain suboptimal, thereby impeding the timely detection of NSCLC.The objective of this research is to examine the expression level and diagnostic utility of miR-668-3p in individuals with NSCLC, along with its effectiveness and predictive capacity in the combined diagnosis of early-stage NSCLC using serum markers.
Methods: The research included 117 NSCLC patients and 101 pulmonary nodule patients (controls).

Background: Health system and environmental factors play a significant role in achieving the World Health Organization (WHO) End Tuberculosis (TB) targets. However, quantitative measures are scarce or non-existent at a global level. We aimed to measure the progress made towards meeting the global End TB milestones from 2015 to 2020 and identify health system and environmental factors contributing to the success.
