Innovative Real-World Data Use for Identifying Stroke Survivors and Access to Rehabilitation in Primary Care in Brazil.

March 2025
Ipsen, São Paulo, Brazil (T.C.-P., P.S.).
Background: As the impact of stroke remains, primary healthcare will continue to be a critical platform managing the poststroke journey. We aimed to identify stroke survivors assisted by community health worker in Brazil and how they relate to the location of rehabilitation facilities locations.
Methods: We developed a cross-sectional study using deidentified data from a real-world database generated by a free data collection app used by community health workers from May 2015 to January 2021 in Brazil to identify stroke survivors and to assess demographics and clinical characteristics.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and mortality risk factors associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Methods: We analyzed a national database containing information on the clinical and sociodemographic aspects of patients hospitalized with severe acute respiratory syndrome between February 2020 and February 2023 in Brazil, including those aged > 18 years with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. The primary exposure of interest was a history of AUD before admission and the primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
Phenotypical and molecular characterization of Rhodococcus equi isolated from foals in the Agreste region of Pernambuco - Brazil.

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sanidade e Reprodução de Animais de Produção, Universidade Federal do Agreste de Pernambuco, Avenida Bom Pastor, Boa Vista, Garanhuns, 55292-270, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Equine rhodococcosis is caused by Rhodococcus equi, an intracellular coccobacillus whose main virulence factor is a plasmid that harbors genes encoding proteins from the Vap family, with the vapA gene being the most important in equine isolates. Furthermore, other factors observed in R. equi strains, such as antimicrobial resistance and biofilm production, may represent significant challenges in the treatment of affected animals.

Federal Rural University of the Amazon, Belém, Pará, Brazil.
The green dwarf coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) has an extreme economic importance in Brazil, especially in the state of Pará, the third largest national producer. The phenological aspects of these plants can undergo changes according to the environment to which they are subjected, so the objective was to determine the basal temperatures, quantify the duration of the reproductive phase and verify the effect of climatic seasonality on the thermal accumulation of the green dwarf coconut tree, in the northeast region of Pará, Brazil.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are among the most common healthcare-related infections caused by biofilm formation. This research investigated the efficacy of polypyrrole (PPy), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and their combination (PPy/AgNPs) as water-soluble additives applied in cleaning procedures for preventing the formation of and (single and dual-species biofilms) on silicone. Ultraviolet-visible absorption assays, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, FTIR analysis, and dynamic light scattering experiments were conducted to evaluate the structure and physicochemical response of the antibiofilm compounds, with the biofilm prevention concentrations assessed by plate counting, flow cytometry, and SEM images.
