This study analyzes the health-disease-care experience reported by users of the Brazilian supplementary system in cardiovascular, oncological, mental health and obstetric care in Florianópolis, capital of the state of Santa Catarina. It discusses the selection of indicators in these areas such as myocardial infarction, breast cancer, alcoholism and childbirth besides exploring socio-anthropological contributions to the management field. The results show a search for solutions in three interconnected sub-sectors of the system - the professional sector, the popular sector and the folk sector, the two latter being of greatest importance in mental and oncological care. Combined use of public and private services appears in cardiovascular and oncological field. Seeking to overcome the gaps with respect to access and integrality by using their own choices with respect to accessibility and comprehensiveness of care by using paths or strategies the users establish a variety of arrangements in their everyday life. The socio-anthropological approach is therefore useful for deepening the understanding of the meaning of public and private in health systems as well as of the care models undertaken by the patients.

To determine whether the radiographic parameter at the epiphyseal tubercle region (peritubercle lucency sign) on the unaffected side can predict slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). We retrospectively reviewed patients who received an initial diagnosis of unilateral SCFE between 1995 and 2020 at a pediatric hospital in a Brazilian state's capital. The patients were monitored for at least 18 months.

: The Brazilian health system provides healthcare financed by the public and private sector, being the first designed to encompass universal healthcare coverage delivered to the population without charge to patients (Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS), whilst the second refers to healthcare coverage delivered for individuals with the capacity to pay for assistance through health insurance or out-of-pocket disbursements. Health insurance companies with beneficiaries receiving publicly financed healthcare from the SUS are required to provide the reimbursement of healthcare expenditures to the government, considering that the health insurance beneficiaries obtain deductions of income taxes designed to fund the SUS. Therefore, the study investigated patterns of healthcare utilization and public expenditure due to the use of public healthcare by beneficiaries of health insurance between 2003 and 2019.

Article Synopsis
- Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arbovirus that has spread beyond its usual Amazon basin habitat, with a significant outbreak occurring in the Brazilian Amazon during 2023-24, leading to cases in other Latin American countries.
- A genomic and epidemiological study from January 2023 to July 2024 showed a higher incidence of OROV in smaller municipalities, and a correlation between agricultural area sizes, particularly banana and cassava plantations, and the number of OROV cases.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicated multiple exportation events of a new reassortant lineage of OROV from Amazon regions to other parts of Brazil occurred between January and March 2024.
Key Performance Indicators of Secondary Health Care in Chronic Kidney Disease: Experience in Public and Private Services in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the quality of secondary health care for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in Brazil, comparing the Brazilian Unified Health System (UHS) to a private health plan (PHP).
- UHS patients were older, had higher rates of arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia, but worse kidney function and fewer optimal health indicators compared to PHP patients.
- The findings suggest that UHS patients experienced faster CKD progression and poorer overall care quality, highlighting the potential benefits of multidisciplinary approaches for improving patient outcomes.
