  • High Prevalence of Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande Do Norte State, Northeast Brazil
    de Azevedo Medeiros et al. Diabetol Metab Syndr (2017) 9:80 DOI 10.1186/s13098-017-0280-7 Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome RESEARCH Open Access High prevalence of Berardinelli‑Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande do Norte State, Northeast Brazil Lázaro Batista de Azevedo Medeiros1,2, Verônica Kristina Cândido Dantas1, Aquiles Sales Craveiro Sarmento2, Lucymara Fassarella Agnez‑Lima2, Adriana Lúcia Meireles3, Thaiza Teixeira Xavier Nobre1, Josivan Gomes de Lima4 and Julliane Tamara Araújo de Melo Campos1,2* Abstract Background: Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a rare disease characterized by the almost com‑ plete absence of adipose tissue. Although a large number of BSCL cases was previously identifed in Rio Grande do Norte (RN), a state in Northeast Brazil, its prevalence in RN regions and municipalities remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to better characterize the prevalence of BSCL in RN. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using secondary data obtained from the Association of Parents and People with BSCL of RN to determine its prevalence. The patients’ socio-demographic characteristics and geolocaliza‑ tion were analyzed. Results: We estimated a total of 103 BSCL cases in RN, resulting in a prevalence of 3.23 per 100,000 people. The Cen‑ tral Potiguar mesoregion, Seridó territory, Carnaúba dos Dantas and Timbaúba dos Batistas municipalities had a much higher prevalence of BSCL, with 20.56, 20.66, 498.05 and 217.85 per 100,000 people, respectively. Conclusions: Together, our results showed that BSCL is highly prevalent in RN and confrmed that our state has one of the highest prevalences of this lipodystrophy worldwide.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

  • Urbanization and Health in Brazil: Aspects of Dengue Fever Epidemics
    Urbanization and Health in Brazil: aspects of dengue feverepidemics Roberto Luiz do Carmo Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) 1 Departamento de Demografia (IFCH/UNICAMP) Núcleo de Estudos de População (NEPO/UNICAMP), Campinas - São Paulo Brazil [email protected] Abstract submitted to Population Association of America (PAA) 2011 Annual Meeting 804 Population, Consumption, and Environmental Quality 1 Department of Demography and Population Studies Center (NEPO), University of Campinas (UNICAMP). URBAIZATIO AD HEALTH I BRAZIL: ASPECTS OF DEGUE FEVER EPIDEMICS Abstract This paper provides an overview of the implications of the Brazilian urbanization process on health considering specifically the case of dengue fever epidemics. The analyses show that there are many factors acting to avoid the effective control of dengue fever, and each aspect influence for epidemics. The present characteristics of the urbanization process and the country development put several difficulties for dengue fever eradication in the country. In this context, a significative epidemic of hemorrhagic dengue fever seems to be a time question. Introduction The water cycle, stimulated by the continuous processes of evaporation and precipitation, leads many people to the erroneous idea that water is an infinite resource. But in fact the volume of water in the earth's atmosphere has remained virtually unchanged since the beginning of human presence on the planet. In contrast however, very significant changes in natural environments have taken place over the last two centuries (since the Industrial Revolution), changes that have affected the amount and quality of the water available for human consumption. Rosegrant (1997) shows that there are extremely serious inequalities in the availability of water among the regions of the world.

  • Chapter 3 the North- Lost in the Amazon
    BRAZIL Chapter 3 The North- Lost in the Amazon Have you ever heard about Amazon rainforest? Let us learn together! The equatorial North, also known as the Amazon or Amazônia, is Brazil's largest region with total landmass of 3,869,638 square kilometers, covering 45.3 percent of the national territory. Way too big and enormous!! It is also the least inhabited part of the country. 31 BRAZIL The region has the largest rainforest of the world and is called Amazon. The word Amazon refers to the women warriors who once fought in inter-tribe in ancient times in this region of today's North Region of Brazil. It is also the name of one of the major river that passes through Brazil and flows eastward into South Atlantic. This river is also the largest of the world in terms of water carried in it. There are also numerous other rivers in the area. It is one fifth of all the earth's fresh water reserves. There are two main Amazonian cities: Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas, and Belém, capital of the State of Pará. 32 BRAZIL Over half of the Amazon rainforest( more than 60 per cent) is located in Brazil but it is also located in other South American countries including Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana, Bolivia, Suriname and French Guiana. The Amazon is home to around two and a half million different insect species as well as over 40000 plant species. There are also a number of dangerous species living in the Amazon rainforest such as the “Onça Pintada” (Brazilian Puma) and anaconda.

    Sanae Hayashi; Carlos Souza Jr.; Márcio Sales & Adalberto Veríssimo (Imazon) ABSTRACT In September 2010, SAD detected 170 square kilometers of deforestation in Legal Amazon. This represented a 21% reduction in relation to September 2009 when the deforestation reached 216 square kilometers. The accumulated deforestation from August 2010 to September 2010 has totalized 380 square kilometers. Comparing with the previous period from August 2009 to September 2009 when the deforestation reached 489 square kilometers there was a reduction of 22%. In September 2010 approximately 48% of deforestation occurred in Mato Grosso. The rest occurred in (18%) followed by Rondônia (14%), Amazonas (11%), Acre (7%), Roraima (1%) and Tocantins (1%). The accumulated deforestation from August 2010 to September 2010 resulted in a commitment of 6 million tons of C02 equivalents, which are subject to direct and future emissions by burning and decomposition. It represents a reduction of 25% in relation to the previous period (August 2009 to September 2009) when forest carbon affected by deforestation was about 29 million tons of C02 equivalent. The degraded forests in Legal Amazon totaled 500 square kilometers in September 2010. Comparing with the previous period of September 2009 there was an increase of 141% when the forest degradation totaled 202 square kilometers. The Forest degradation occurred especially in Mato Grosso (85%). The forest degradation accumulated from August 2010 to September 2010 totaled 2.055 square kilometers. It represented an extremely expressive increase (213%) comparing with the previous period (August 2009 to September 2009) when the forest degradation totaled 657 square kilometers. In September 2010, it was possible to monitor with SAD 83% of the area with forest coverage in Legal Amazon.
