Objective: To analyze the association between diabetes mellitus and hospital deaths due to Covid-19 in Brazil, from February to August 2020.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on hospitalized flu-like syndrome cases, with a positive test result for COVID-19, reported on the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to estimate the magnitude of the association between diabetes and deaths.
Results: Data from 397,600 hospitalized cases were analyzed, of which 32.0% (n = 127,231) died. The prevalence of death among people with diabetes was 40.8% (PR = 1.41; 95%CI 1.39;1.42). After adjustments for the variables sociodemographic and comorbidities, it could be seen that those with diabetes (95%CI 1.14;1.16) were 1.15 time more likely to die.
Conclusion: 3 out of every 20 deaths due to COVID-19 occurred among individuals with diabetes mellitus, highlighting this population susceptibility and the need to control this chronic disease.

Background: The ALLFTD (ARTFL-LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration) study is an NIH-funded effort to prepare for clinical trials in sporadic (s-FTLD) and familial (f-FTLD) FTLD syndromes by characterizing cohorts, developing new clinical trial outcome measures, and evaluating disease progression. To understand disease trajectories in the context of potential preventative or disease-modifying therapeutic agents, comprehensive evaluation across multiple time-points is crucial.
Method: ALLFTD evaluates participants with FTLD spectrum disorders (bvFTD, svPPA, nfvPPA, FTD-ALS, CBS, PSP), with strong family histories of FTLD, or known FTLD-associated genetic variants within the family.

Background: Teenage pregnancy rates have globally decreased over the years, but remain high, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Among girls aged 15-19, teenage pregnancy remains the leading cause of death and a significant barrier to education and productivity. Its prevalence was high in pakwach district as reported by the DHO and police report during the pandemic.

Background Numerous risk factors have been identified for developing severe COVID-19, including sociodemographic variables and concomitant diseases. Individuals with underlying comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and coronary artery disease are at a greater risk of severe illness and death. This study aimed to observe the association between risk factors and the severity of COVID-19.
