Objective: To describe the implementation of a compassionate community in Rocinha and Vidigal slums, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Method: Report on the experience of implementing a Compassionate Community based on the World Health Organization conceptual bases, supported by university extension guidelines.
Results: Initially, local leaders and residents were recruited and trained in palliative care. Subsequently, health professionals from different specialties engaged in the project through volunteering. Home visits were instituted in the form of interconsultation and "sponsorships" by residents and health professionals to people in palliative care and family members. Finally, the health care network in the territory was integrated in order to recognize the project as a support network.
Conclusion: We highlight the experience as living work in health, which involves relationships and creative processes, which mobilize structured technical knowledge and relationships between people and soft-hard and soft technologies, making it possible to recognize powers in the territory.

Content analysis of perceptions of combined pharmacobehavioral treatment for American Indian people with opioid use disorder.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington.
Objective: Both opioid misuse and overdose mortality have disproportionately impacted the American Indian population. Although medications for opioid use disorder, such as buprenorphine (BUP-NX), are highly effective in reducing overdose mortality, questions have been raised about the cultural acceptability of Western medical approaches in this population. Understanding patients' desired recovery pathways can lead to more culturally appropriate, patient-centered, and effective approaches to opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment.

Immunodeficiency-Related Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus (iVDPV) Infections: A Review of Epidemiology and Progress in Detection and Management.
Pathogens
December 2024
World Health Organization Headquarters, Av Appia 10, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland.
Individuals with certain primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) may be unable to clear poliovirus infection after exposure to oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). Over time, vaccine-related strains can revert to immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived poliovirus (iVDPVs) that can cause paralysis in the patient and potentially spread in communities with low immunity. We reviewed the efforts for detection and management of PID patients with iVDPV infections and the epidemiology through an analysis of 184 cases reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) during 1962-2024 and a review of polio program and literature reports.
