  • Programmatic impact and cost-effectiveness of scaling up the short-course 3HP regimen for tuberculosis preventive treatment in Brazil

    Open AccessKlauss Villalva-Serra, Beatriz Barreto‐Duarte et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) is critical in interrupting progression to disease, transmission and reducing incidence rates. Nonetheless, high costs have been barriers towards the expansion of shorter patient-friendly drug regimens. In 2019, a Unitaid-led deal reduced rifapentine costs by over 70%, facilitating Brazil's implementation of 3 months of rifapentine+isoniazid (3HP), a short-course TPT regimen, in its public health …

  • Adolescent suicide attempts in Brazil and impact of Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessJuliana D P Bulhões, Gabriela L Rosier et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Suicide is a leading cause of adolescent mortality worldwide. Exogenous poisoning—defined as exposure to toxic substances such as medications or chemicals— is a common method, but large-scale epidemiological data in Brazil are limited. This study describes sociodemographic profiles, temporal trends, regional disparities, and the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on adolescent suicide attempts by exogenous poisoning in Brazil from 2018 to 2023. We conduc…

  • The aesthetic lens

    Open AccessBruno B Andrade, Mariana Araújo-Pereira et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2025

    In the evolving landscape of medicine and science, where precision, data, and technological advances are increasingly emphasized, the role of art and aesthetics has often been underappreciated. Yet, if we reflect on the process of discovery, clinical practice, and scientific investigation, we find that art and science are intrinsically linked, not as opposites but as complementary forces. The aesthetic experience—the shapes, colors, and sensation…

  • Lessons learned from the expansion of medical schools in Brazil

    Open AccessKatia De Miranda Avena, Luiz Fernando Quintanilha et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2025

    Brazil faces significant challenges in the equitable distribution of health professionals across its vast territory, with remote and underdeveloped areas often lacking doctors. Initiatives like “Programa Mais Médicos” have expanded medical courses and residency programs nationwide. Recently, new Ministry of Education guidelines authorized courses and increased slots in response to judicial demands, highlighting the complexity of Brazil’s educatio…

  • Influence of HIV co-infection on clinical presentation and disease outcome in hospitalized adults with tuberculous meningitis in Brazil

    Open AccessLucas Gábor Urmenyi, Caian L Vinhaes et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a severe form of central nervous system infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) that is often associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in people living with HIV (PLWH). This study investigated differences in clinical and laboratory profiles of TBM cases in Brazil associated with HIV status, and identified factors associated with in-hospital mortality. Methods We co…

  • What it takes to become a physician scientist in a low- and middle-income country

    Open AccessBeatriz Barreto‐Duarte, Simon C Mendelsohn et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Physician-scientists, who have dual medical and advanced research training, are a scarce and valuable asset. They bridge clinical practice and research, address critical medical challenges with a scientific perspective, and drive innovation by translating discoveries into patient care. Physicians with research expertise are particularly adept at critically evaluating scientific literature to improve their practice and ensure that they provide up-…

  • Tuberculosis preventive treatment completion in indigenous vs. non-indigenous populations in the Brazilian Amazon

    Open AccessJúlia de Assis Pinheiro, Jair S Pinheiro et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    TB preventive treatment (TPT) is crucial for preventing the progression from TB infection (TBI) to active disease, particularly among vulnerable populations such as indigenous people. Although shorter regimens have improved adherence, evidence from real-world programmatic settings is limited. This study compared TPT completion rates between indigenous and non-indigenous populations in the Brazilian Amazon. We conducted a retrospective cohort stud…

  • Bridging the gap

    Open AccessRodrigo Caldas MENEZES, I Ferreira et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    1 IntroductionPlanetary health is an inherently complex field that requires the integration of diverse expertise, ranging from environmental science and public health to economics and social sciences. Despite growing recognition of its importance and awareness, planetary health faces significant challenges in translating its goals into effective action (1). These challenges often arise from the fragmented efforts of various sectors, each with dis…

  • Machine learning algorithms using national registry data to predict loss to follow-up during tuberculosis treatment

    Open AccessMoreno Ms Rodrigues, Moreno M S Rodrigues et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Our nationwide risk score predicts the risk of LTFU during ATT in Brazilian adults prior to treatment commencement utilizing schooling level, sex, age, prior TB status, and substance use (drug, alcohol, and/or tobacco). This is a potential tool to assist in decision-making strategies to guide resource allocation, DOT indications, and improve TB treatment adherence

  • Determinants of losses in the latent tuberculosis infection cascade of care in Brazil

    Open AccessAlexandra B Souza, María B Arriaga et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Introduction Factors associated with losses in the latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) cascade of care in contacts of patients with tuberculosis (TB) were investigated in a multicentre prospective cohort from highly endemic regions in Brazil. Methods Close contacts of 1187 patients with culture-confirmed pulmonary TB were prospectively studied between 2015 and 2019, with follow-up of 6–24 months. Data on TB screening by clinical investigation, r…
