A utilização de dispositivos visuais para a comunicação do processo de planejamento da produção na construção civil
A gestão de operações em diversos setores, incluindo construção civil, enfrenta o desafio de criar um ambiente de trabalho com informações claras e transparentes para todos os funcionários. A gestão visual (GV) tem se destacado como uma estratégia eficaz para melhorar a comunicação e reduzir erros nos canteiros de obras. No entanto, a implementação da GV muitas vezes se limita ao uso de ferramentas individuais sem integrar toda a gestão da produç…
A Concrete Example of the One Health Approach in the Brazilian Unified Health System
The knowledge and performance of Veterinary Medicine as part of the health professions in Brazil, namely, in the One Health approach, is an experience to be shared
A systematic literature review of leptospirosis outbreaks worldwide, 1970–2012
Objective. This review describes the geographic and temporal distribution of, detection methods for, and other epidemiological features of published leptospirosis outbreaks, with the aim of informing efforts to standardize outbreak-reporting practices. Methods. We conducted a systematic review of leptospirosis outbreaks reported in the scientific literature and ProMED during 1970–2012. Predefined criteria were used to identify and classify outbre…
Leptospirosis in Latin America
Objectives. To demonstrate the importance of country surveillance systems for leptospirosis and their use for preliminary epidemiological analysis, as well as to generate research questions for future, morecomprehensive studies on the disease . Methods. In 2015, for the first time, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) included human cases of leptospirosis in its Regional Core Health Data Initiative, an open-access database that collects an…
A road map for leptospirosis research and health policies based on country needs in Latin America
This report summarizes the presentations, discussions and the recommendations coming from the Oswaldo Cruz Institute/FIOCRUZ International Workshop for Leptospirosis Research Based on Country Needs and the 5th Global Leptospirosis Environmental Action Network meeting, which was held in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 10-12 November 2015. The event focused on health policy and worked to develop a road map as a consensus document to help guide …
Importance of animal/human health interface in potential Public Health Emergencies of International Concern in the Americas
This study analyzed the importance of zoonoses and communicable diseases common to man and animals as potential Public Health Emergencies of International Concern to build an evidence base for future efforts to reduce risk of infection at the animal/human health interface. The events recorded in the World Health Organization (WHO) Event Management System (EMS) database for the Americas during the 18 months since the implementation of the 2005 rev…
Rabies transmitted by vampire bats to humans
Human rabies transmitted by vampire bats reached new heights in Latin America in 2005. A total of 55 human cases were reported in several outbreaks, 41 of them in the Amazon region of Brazil. Peru and Brazil had the highest number of reported cases from 1975 to 2006. In Peru, outbreaks involving more than 20 cases of bat-transmitted human rabies were reported during the 1980s and 1990s. During this period, a smaller number of cases were reported …
Current status of human rabies transmitted by dogs in Latin America
Latin American countries made the political decision to eliminate human rabies transmitted by dogs by the year 2005. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate to what extent this goal has been reached. The epidemiological situation and control measures were analyzed and broken down within the countries by georeferencing. The 27 human cases reported in 2003 occurred in some 0.2% of the second-level geopolitical units (municipalities or count…
Life expectancy at birth and mortality in Brazil, 1999
The pattern of health inequality in Brazil indicates a polarization among regions and states as well as a juxtaposition of diseases associated with under-development and diseases linked to development, suggesting the need for a health system that is committed to addressing these issues
Methods for measuring inequalities in health
Measuring health inequalities is indispensable for progress in improving the health situation in the Region of the Americas, where the analysis of average values is no longer sufficient. Analyzing health inequalities is a fundamental tool for action that seeks greater equity in health. There are various measurement methods, with differing levels of complexity, and choosing one rather than another depends on the objective of the study. The purpose…
Indices based on the notion of entropy for measuring social inequalities in health
As described in the scientific literature, indices used to measure social inequalities in health have positive features, but they also have shortcomings, depending on how they are applied. The objective of this article is to put forward and to demonstrate, in both theoretical and practical terms, the advantages of measurements of inequality based on the notion of entropy, which is well known in physics and in information theory. The article defin…
Overview of social inequalities in health in the Region of the Americas, using various methodological approaches
Over the past decade, according to several important indicators, health conditions have improved in the Region of the Americas. However, inequalities persist among the countries of the Region. This article has two primary objectives: 1) to provide some unbiased evidence on health inequalities among countries of the Region of the Americas and 2) to illustrate the application of some of the more frequently used methods for measuring inequalities, i…
Common vampire bat attacks on humans in a village of the Amazon region of Brazil
Many people in Amazonian communities have reported bat bites in the last decade. Bites by vampire bats can potentially transmit rabies to humans. The objective of this study was to analyze factors associated with bat biting in one of these communities. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a village of gold miners in the Amazonian region of Brazil (160 inhabitants). Bats were captured near people's houses and sent to a lab. Of 129 people inte…
Controle da raiva no Brasil de 1980 a 1990
Descreve-se a situação epidemiológica da raiva no Brasil no período de 1980-1990, em que o Programa Nacional de Profilaxia da Raiva foi estruturado em todo País. São mostradas as principais ações de controle da raiva desenvolvidas para se chegar aos resultados, considerados positivos. A raiva no Brasil registrou uma redução importante nos casos humanos (78%) e caninos (90%) na metade da série analisada. No final da década, houve um recrudesciment…
Reflexión sobre los modelos para el estudio de los brotes de rabia humana por murciélago
El presente trabajo es una reflexión sobre cuál de los posibles modelos en salud pública contribuiría más para el entendimiento de la ocurrencia de brotes de rabia humana transmitida por murciélagos. En un primer momento se hace una breve revisión sobre los modelos más utilizados para analizar nuestro objeto de estudio. Posteriormente se presenta la investigación de un brote de rabia humana transmitida por murciélagos con base en el modelo epidem…
Tratamiento contra la rabia humana
El presente trabajo es una revisión histórica del tratamiento utilizado contra la rabia humana, desde la antigüedad hasta el momento actual. Pretende hacer una analogía entre el concepto de causa predominante en la época y el tipo de tratamiento utilizado. Los griegos antiguos tenían la diosa Artemisa como sanadora de la rabia y ya utilizaban la cauterización de la herida. Los pueblos del siglo I conocían la capacidad infecciosa en la saliva de p…
