Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the expansion of the number of Brazilian Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) considering aspects related to the general health scenario and the institutionalization of human rights.

Methods: An analytical document-based study, developed between February 2020 and May 2022, whose secondary data on the 27 Brazilian capitals were collected on platforms in the public domain, based on the time series from 2015 to 2020. Indicators were listed based on health system infrastructure and quality of life. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation test and Student's t test were used.

Results: The capitals that expanded the number of CAPS in the analyzed period were the ones that presented the greatest political-legal framework for the protection of human rights.

Conclusion: The results suggest that the greater the commitment of governments in favor of human rights, the greater the investment for CAPS expansion.

The highest regional incidence and mortality occur in SSA. Despite the high efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in preventing cervical cancer, its uptake remains unacceptably low in SSA.

Background: Traumatic physical injuries can lead to psychological distress and increased risk of psychiatric disorders, often reflected in dysregulated autonomic responses measurable through heart rate variability (HRV). Slow-paced breathing has shown potential in enhancing HRV, but its effectiveness in injured survivors remains unexplored. This study investigates the effect of slow-paced breathing on HRV among injured survivors compared to non-injured individuals and explores the influence of psychological distress and spontaneous respiratory rate on this effect.
