The article analyzes the configuration and trends in institutions of Higher Education and their relationship as components of the Health Economic-Industrial Complex (HEIC). The expansion of higher education is part of the transition from elite to mass systems, with tensions between quantitative and qualitative aspects. Such changes reflect different cultures and are related to international phenomena such as globalization, economic transformations, the development of new information and communication technologies, and the emergence of an international knowledge network. The scale and content of these changes vary according to the expansion and institutional reconfiguration of educational systems, as well as the link between state and society. Market expansion for private higher education stirs competition, shapes business clusters, modifies training processes, and raises new public policy challenges. Resumo: Este artigo analisa a configuração e as tendências das instituições de Ensino Superior de saúde no seu relacionamento enquanto componentes do Complexo Econômico Industrial da Saúde (CEIS). A expansão do Ensino Superior é parte da transição de sistemas de elite para sistemas de massa, com tensionamentos entre aspectos quantitativos e qualitativos. Essas mudanças refletem diferentes culturas e se relacionam com fenômenos de escopo mundial como globalização, transformações econômicas, desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias de comunicação e informação, e emergência de uma rede internacional de conhecimento. A escala e o conteúdo dessas mudanças variam com a ampliação dos sistemas de ensino e na reconfiguração institucional, bem como na articulação entre Estado e sociedade. A ampliação do mercado privado no ensino acirra a competitividade, conformando conglomerados empresariais, alterando processos de formação e forjando novos desafios para as políticas públicas.

Factors associated with placement along the HIV prevention and care continuum among sexual minority men who use methamphetamine.

AIDS Care

March 2025

Center for Behavioral and Addiction Medicine, Department of Family Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Methamphetamine use among sexual minority men (SMM) has been associated with poor ART adherence, and reduced initiation and adherence to PrEP. From May 2021 to May 2023, 226 SMM were enrolled in , a culturally responsive smartphone application to reduce methamphetamine use and improve sexual health. Using a status-neutral approach, an ordinal variable reflected participants' placement on the HIV Prevention/Care Continuum, from HIV-positive, not taking ART, to HIV-negative, currently taking PrEP.

Diabetes mellitus, once a rare diagnosis in precolonial and early post-colonial Nigeria, now has the highest prevalence and fatality rates in sub-Saharan Africa. This increased prevalence is attributed to rising population affluence characterized by sedentary lifestyles and higher consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods. The burden is further exacerbated by a poorly responsive healthcare system.

Molecular Engineering of a SICTERS Small Molecule with Superior Raman Imaging and Photothermal Performance.

J Am Chem Soc

March 2025

Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, Institute of Molecular Medicine, Collaborative Innovation Center for Clinical and Translational Science by Chinese Ministry of Education & Shanghai, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200025, China.

Raman-based theranostics has demonstrated great potential for sensitive real-time imaging and treatment. However, these advanced materials, primarily depending on the SERS technique, encounter clinical concerns regarding substrate biosafety. Herein, we molecularly engineered a substrate-free SICTERS small molecule, namely BTT-TPA (bis-thienyl-substituted benzotriazole selenadiazole derivative structures), possessing both ultrasensitive Raman signals and excellent photothermal effects based on self-stacking.

Infected bone defects show a significant reduction in neovascularization during the healing process, primarily due to persistent bacterial infection and immune microenvironmental disorders. Existing treatments are difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments for infected bone defects, which is a key clinical therapeutic challenge that needs to be addressed. In this study, a conductive hydrogel based on copper nanoparticles was developed for controlling bacterial infection and remodeling the immune microenvironment.
