It involved research anchored in the theoretical frameworks of Critical Bioethics and was analyzed using qualitative methodology with a dialectical approach. The results demonstrate that during the period analyzed the Brazilian federal government acted in alignment with a \"major nebula\" that generated several bioethical conflicts. This nebula was sustained by an amalgam of interests of economic power, sectors of medical corporatism, and conservative political-ideological groups. On the other hand, the SBB and the entities of the Frente pela Vida articulated themselves as a \"counter-nebula\" of denunciation and resistance to bioethical conflicts. Considering that the attempt to act on the interests of the \"nebula\" persist, especially in the Brazilian State, the conclusion drawn is that the SBB and the entities of the Frente pela Vida must remain mobilized in social control, in the defense of the Unified Health System, democracy and human rights in the country.</p>","PeriodicalId":10195,"journal":{"name":"Ciencia & saude coletiva","volume":"30 3","pages":"e13172023"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143708908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of this assumption, one can predict the number of cases in silent areas using epidemiologic and spatial dependence information. The present study exemplifies this approach, using the integrated nested Laplace approximation in Bayesian spatial models that relate social vulnerability and the number of reported cases of feline (zoonotic) sporotrichosis in census tracts (CTs) of the municipality of Guarulhos. In addition to predictions for silent CTs, we assigned a priority index to all CTs. The results showed a more problematic epidemiologic situation, compared to the scenario in which it is assumed that there are no cases in silent CTs. To iteratively validate the index predictions and calibrate the degree of confidence assigned to the predictions, one can compare the distribution of the priority indices of silent CTs with the distribution of cases identified through active surveillance in a sample of silent CTs.</p>","PeriodicalId":10195,"journal":{"name":"Ciencia & saude coletiva","volume":"30 3","pages":"e10572023"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143708550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
