Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the socioeconomic profile of the population aged 60 or older living in Florianópolis in 2002 and 2009.
Methods: Data were obtained through the studies Perfil do Idoso 2002 and EpiFloripa Idoso 2009 based on household surveys.
Results: There was a predominance of aged 60 to 69 years old, married and living with spouse and children. There was a significant improvement in the level of education and, on the economic aspects, retirement remains the main source of income, increasing the number of families receiving no more than three minimum wages and reducing those with monthly income above 10 minimum wages. The number of older adults who considers their current financial situation better than age 50 increased as the proportion of subjects with fair/poor self-perception health. It was also highlighted greater purchasing private health insurance.
Conclusion: Comparison of the two studies presented here can support the actions of managers in order to bring effective results to the population.

Precision medicine has revolutionised targeted cancer treatments; however, its implementation in ovarian cancer remains challenging. Diverse tumour biology and extensive heterogeneity in ovarian cancer can limit the translatability of genetic profiling and contribute to a lack of biomarkers of treatment response. This review addresses the barriers in precision medicine for ovarian cancer, including obtaining adequate and representative tissue samples for analysis, developing functional and standardised screening methods, and navigating data infrastructure and management.

Tapentadol: A Comprehensive Review of Its Role in Pain Management.
Cureus
November 2024
Anesthesiology, Hospital Clínica Bíblica, San José, CRI.
Pain is a prevalent issue among patients, requiring effective management to prevent the transition of acute pain into chronic pain and to mitigate significant clinical and socioeconomic impacts, such as increased morbidity, mortality, prolonged recovery, unplanned readmissions, and diminished quality of life. Despite advancements in pain management guidelines, achieving consistent pain relief remains challenging due to individual differences in pain thresholds, the nature of surgical procedures, patient age, and existing comorbidities. Tapentadol, an opioid that acts as both a μ-opioid receptor agonist and a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, presents a promising option for pain management.
