AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how social and health inequalities affect individuals with functional losses receiving home care in São Paulo.
- The districts were analyzed based on a Social Exclusion Index, revealing trends such as higher functional loss in senior women requiring basic care and more severe disabilities in younger males and children in highly excluded areas.
- The authors emphasize the need for tailored home care policies that address the unique dynamics of São Paulo rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to understand how social and health inequalities are expressed in the health-disease profile of individuals with functional losses and dependence receiving home care by Family Health Care Program's teams in the administrative districts of the city of São Paulo. The districts were grouped according to the Social Exclusion Index through a cluster analysis, and a statistical description of the variables was developed in order to compare them. For the city as a whole was verified the prevalence of senior women with light functional losses and dependence requiring low complexity care, compatible with Primary Health Care. Districts with major social exclusion had a larger proportion of males less than 60 years old and children with severe disabilities who need care of greater complexity. The article debates the need for home care policies designed for the specificities of the city of São Paulo instead of policies focused on specific population groups.

Decay of self-incompatibility within a lifespan in Physalis acutifolia (Solanaceae).
Plant Reprod

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado, 1900 Pleasant Street, Boulder, CO, 80309, USA.
Self-incompatibility decays with age in plants of Physalis acutifolia, and plants that have transitioned to selfing produce fewer seeds but with comparable viability. Self-compatibility in this system is closely related to flower size, which is in turn dependent on the direction of the cross, suggesting parental effects on both morphology and compatibility. The sharpleaf groundcherry, Physalis acutifolia, is polymorphic for self-compatibility, with naturally occurring self-incompatible (SI) and self-compatible (SC) populations.

Using Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) networks as a case study, we explore the impact of the inherent properties of analog computation on performance and identify the characteristics that optical neural networks (ONNs) components should possess to better adapt to these specific properties. Specifically, we examine the influence of analog computation on bias power and activation functions, as well as the impact of optical pruning on ONN's performance.

However, the performance deteriorates rapidly when the size of pixels varies due to fabrication errors. In this work, we propose an inverse design method called robust adjoint method to design fabrication-tolerant digital nanophotonic devices.

The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae, is a major pest on Brassicaceae plants, causing significant yield losses annually. However, the lack of genomic resources has hindered progress in understanding this pest at the molecular level. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosomal-level genome assembly for B.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes significant economic losses in the global swine industry due to its high genetic diversity and different virulence levels, which complicate disease management and vaccine development. This study evaluated longitudinal changes in the immune cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the clinical outcomes across PRRSV strains with varying virulence, using techniques including single-cell transcriptomics. In highly virulent infection, faster viral replication results in an earlier peak lung-damage time point, marked by significant interstitial pneumonia, a significant decrease in macrophages, and an influx of lymphocytes.
