    These findings highlight the importance of improving surveillance for congenital anomalies in Brazil, as well as reinforcing the need for preventing these anomalies and ensuring that assistance is provided to those who are affected

  • Clusters of rare disorders and congenital anomalies in South America

    Open AccessAugusto César Cardoso Dos Santos, Augusto César Cardoso-dos-Santos et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2023

    Objective. To map geographic clusters of rare disorders and congenital anomalies reported in South America. Methods. Qualitative systematic review conducted in Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, and Scielo electronic databases to identify studies meeting eligibility criteria.

  • Disentangling Signatures of Selection Before and After European Colonization in Latin Americans

    Open AccessJavier Mendoza‐Revilla, Juan Camilo Chacón-Duque et al.ARTICLEMolecular Biology and Evolution2022

    Throughout human evolutionary history, large-scale migrations have led to intermixing (i.e., admixture) between previously separated human groups. Although classical and recent work have shown that studying admixture can yield novel historical insights, the extent to which this process contributed to adaptation remains underexplored. Here, we introduce a novel statistical model, specific to admixed populations, that identifies loci under selectio…

  • Prevalence of Congenital Anomaly and Its Relationship with Maternal Education and Age According to Local Development in the Extreme South of Brazil

    Open AccessCarolina Ribeiro Anele, Marcelo Zubaran Goldani et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Congenital anomalies (CA) contribute to disabilities and health conditions throughout life. Furthermore, they can cause emotional distress to the mothers and children, who may also experience limitations in individual and social development. This study investigated the prevalence of CA and the relationship with maternal education and age according to local development in the extreme south of Brazil. This is a retrospective observational study wit…

  • An invincible memory

    Open AccessAugusto César Cardoso Dos Santos, Virginia Ramallo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2021

    Several studies have shown that the Brazilian Northeast is a region with high rates of inbreeding as well as a high incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. The elaboration of public health policies focused on the epidemiological surveillance of congenital anomalies and rare genetic diseases in this region is urgently needed. However, the vast territory, socio-demographic heterogeneity, economic difficulties and low number of professionals with…

  • Sociodemographic and sanitary profile of chikungunya virus infection in medium-sized municipality in Mato Grosso, from January to March 2018, Brasil

    Open AccessDandára Thaís Oliveira Ferreira, Marina Atanaka et al.ARTICLEPoblación y Salud en Mesoamérica2020

    Introduction: The chikungunya virus has already been identified in more than 60 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, and chronicity after the disease impacts the lives of those affected by the virus, as well as society, the economy and public health. The objective was to characterize, through epidemiological survey, the profile of chikungunya infection in a mid-sized municipality in Mato Grosso according to sociodemographic and san…

  • Estimating the birth prevalence and pregnancy outcomes of congenital malformations worldwide

    Open AccessSowmiya Moorthie, Hannah Blencowe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Genetics2018

    Congenital anomaly registries have two main surveillance aims: firstly to define baseline epidemiology of important congenital anomalies to facilitate programme, policy and resource planning, and secondly to identify clusters of cases and any other epidemiological changes that could give early warning of environmental or infectious hazards. However, setting up a sustainable registry and surveillance system is resource-intensive requiring national…

  • Zika virus infection and congenital anomalies in the Americas

    Open AccessMariela Larrandaburu, Fernanda Sales Vianna et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2017

    The Zika virus (ZIKV) was identified in 1947 in the Zika forest in Uganda, but recently it has emerged as a public health threat. The first evidence of human infection occurred in 1952, but only in April 2007 was the first outbreak in humans recognized. In the Americas, a ZIKV outbreak began in Brazil in 2015, and from the second half of 2015 onward, a substantial number of newborns with severe microcephaly began to be reported to health authorit…

  • Relación entre tratamiento hormonal, cirugía-ortodoncia maxilofacial, traumatismos y malformaciones craneofaciales y la asimetría fluctuante

    Open AccessMirsha Emmanuel Quinto Sánchez, Celia Cintas et al.ARTICLERevista Argentina de Antropología…2017Cited by: 1References: 1

    En este trabajo se evalúa la relación entre la asimetría fluctuante facial (AFF) y los tratamientos hormonales, cirugías maxilofaciales, ortodoncia, traumatismos y malformaciones. En el marco del proyecto CANDELA, se tomaron cinco fotografías faciales de 3162 voluntarios entre los 18 y 85 años. Por fotogrametría se colocaron 34 landmarks o puntos en 3D y mediante el método Procrustes ANOVA se obtuvieron valores individuales de asimetría fluctuant…

  • Microcefalia e Zika Vírus

    Open AccessCynthia Molina Bastos, Otávio Pereira D’avila et al.ARTICLERevista Brasileira de Medicina de…2016

    Objetivo: Discutir a associação entre microcefalia e a infecção materna por Zika Vírus. A microcefalia é o tamanho da cabeça menor do que o esperado em comparação com bebês do mesmo sexo e idade. Entre as causas conhecidas, estão as infecções congênitas. O aumento de casos entre outubro e novembro de 2015 no nordeste brasileiro, que coincidiu com a presença da circulação de novo vírus no país, em maio do mesmo ano, criou a hipótese de associação …

  • O uso de larvicidas em água potável é seguro

    Open AccessCynthia Molina Bastos, Otávio Pereira D’avila et al.ARTICLERevista Brasileira de Medicina de…2016

    Provavelmente sim. Não existem evidências que comprovem a segurança do uso de larvicidas em água potável. Entretanto, os poucos estudos que existem avaliando o efeito em população de mamíferos, assim como as avaliações de biodisponibilidades e citotoxicidade, demonstram que em baixa concentração são seguros e não há efeitos carcinogênicos ou genotóxico. Os larvicidas avaliados e autorizados para uso em água potável pela Organização Mundial de Saú…

    Open AccessLavinia Schuler-Faccini, Júlio César Loguercio Leite et al.ARTICLECiência & Saúde Coletiva2002

    O fato de agentes ambientais, nomeadamente fármacos, infecções maternas, e agentes químicos ou físicos poderem causar danos ao embrião ou feto em desenvolvimento é um problema reconhecido principalmente a partir do século 20. Nos países em desenvolvimento, existem características especiais que podem tornar esse problema mais agudo. Essas características incluem níveis educacionais e econômicos baixos da população, alta incidência de doenças infec…

  • The Wai Wai Indians of South America

    Open AccessSidia M Callegari‐jacque, S M Callegari-Jacques et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1996Cited by: 12References: 6

    Demographic medical and genetic information was obtained in a population of Carib-speaking Wai Wai Indians living in northern Brazil. At present mortality is low and fertility moderate, with a low variance in offspring number in completed families. Mobility is high, but about two-thirds of the unions are endogamic. Malaria is the main health problem. Phenotype and allele frequencies were obtained for 27 protein genetic systems. Comparison with si…
