This article analyzes the effects of Constitutional Amendment 29 in financing the Brazilian National Health Service, SUS, between 2000 and 2010. The aim was to analyze how the resources that were allocated by the three spheres of government were used on a general basis and in specific regions. Analysis was also conducted on the possible repercussions of the Amendment in the allocation of finances for SUS. The results showed: an important increase in the designated resources that were used by the three spheres of government during the aforementioned period. There was an increase in real terms of 112% in consolidated spending and an 89% increase in spending per capita by the three spheres. There was also more participation from the States, the Federal District and the Municipalities in financing the system. However, in spite of the increase in the use of financial resources, regional inequalities, in relation to spending per capita, remained practically unchanged.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of enucleation without conjunctival closure in a large patient cohort.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted from January 2011 to January 2024, examining 144 eyes of 143 patients who underwent enucleation without conjunctival closure by a single oculoplastic surgeon. Data collected included patient demographics, indications for surgery, implant types, and complications.

The crystallization of lanthanide-containing β-octamolybdate (β-{Mo8O26}4-) based solids from a binary 1:1 (water/DMSO) solution under ambient conditions is reported. A uniform synthetic protocol yielded three structurally related series of general composition {Ln(solvent)n}[NaMo8O26]·yH2O, with the whole lanthanide series (except for radioactive Pm). The three series are (i) {Ln(DMSO)8}[NaMo8O26]·0.

Significant efforts have been dedicated to the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO reduction reactions (eCORR). The outer coordination spheres of catalytic centers may play a pivotal role in the reaction pathway and kinetics for eCORR. Herein, three single copper sites coordinated Aza-fused conjugated organic frameworks (Aza-COFs-Cu) with different outer coordination spheres around Cu sites are designed.

Background: Hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain, is often treated via a shunt system to divert the excess CSF to a different compartment; if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications and permanent brain damage. It is estimated that one in every 500 people are born with hydrocephalus. Despite more than 60 years of concerted efforts, shunts still have the highest failure rate of any neurological device requiring follow-up shunt revision surgeries and contributing to the $2 billion cost of hydrocephalus care in the US alone.
