RESULTS: Palestine has 2.45 million people that requires some form of humanitarian assistance. The current situation is due to constant invasion of Palestinian territories by Jewish settlements and the rigid control of conquered territories, which prevents the population from accessing basic rights such as health and food. CONCLUSION: International humanitarian aid will not be enough to minimize the inequality experienced in the region, which is caused by the political context of coloniality and apartheid in the region.","PeriodicalId":285800,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Global Health","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116506901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evaluation of EIT results can guide the effectiveness of different therapies, enabling better decisions, standardized behavior, and optimization in the use of resources. The objective is to characterize the use of electrical impedance tomography in the neonatal and pediatric population. METHODS: This is a systematic review, in which articles without language restrictions that addressed the applicability of electrical impedance tomography in the neonatal and pediatric population were analyzed. This review followed the PRISMA recommendations (Key Items for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis). RESULTS: A total of 309 studies were found, of which 302 were excluded according to the eligibility criteria, and 7 were included. All studies investigated the applicability of EIT as an assessment tool for pediatric or neonatal patients. EIT was shown to be effective in evaluating ventilation before extubation, comparing transverse alterations and total lung volume, evaluating the effects of body and head positions on the spatial distribution of ventilation, for potential diagnostic use in pediatric patients with asthma, feasible as a complementary tool in the assessment of community-acquired pneumonia in children, monitoring ventilation and perfusion in newborns and critically ill children, and evaluating recent advances in EIT related to cardiopulmonary imaging. CONCLUSION: EIT has been shown to be an effective monitoring technique for pediatric and neonatal patients.

Populism is also feared to be a threat to public health. However, the impact of populism on healthcare policy has not been studied further. For seeking an explanation of this phenomenon, the aim of this review is to discuss how trends in populism affect health policy and its impact on public health. METHODS: This scoping review conducted using the five-step framework by Arksey and O'Malley. The literature search was conducted on the Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Sciencedirect databases from Augustus-September 2021. All the included studies were extracted based on characteristics that included study author, year of publication, country, theme, and the relevant results. RESULTS: After searching the literature, 500 studies were found that matched the keywords. After going through the exclusion process, 7 studies were obtained.

RESULTS: The publications found still present an embryonic view of the facts, however, despite this, it was possible for us to shed light on the psychic implications arising from absences, especially of funeral rituals, making difficult the libidinal disinvestment in a given object, so that the ego can seek other objects of desire. CONCLUSION: The conclusion of this study points to the need for further research, considering that the implications of a psychic order will only be perceived and, probably, clarified in a few years' time. However, it is possible to anticipate that a significant part of the population, faced with losses and the impossibility of experiencing the farewell ritual, has been overwhelmed by discouragement. The risk is, then, in the death of desire.","PeriodicalId":285800,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Global Health","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122233629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Brazil, vaccination has been carried out since January 2021. This study aims to investigate if mass immunization against Covid-19 has brought mortality reduction. METHODS: An original, quantitative, and documentary research. For theoretical basis, a narrative literature review was performed. The inclusion criteria were articles published between 2020 and 2021, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The database used was the Virtual Health Library, using the following descriptors: \"Vaccination\", \"Efficacy\", \"Mortality\", \"Coronavirus\". RESULTS: Mortality rates increased between February and April, with a peak of 12.86% deaths per million inhabitants. During this period, even though population vaccination had started, the arrival of new viral variants, alike Delta, and the lack of compliance with social isolation measures contributed so that mortality remained high. From June onwards, the Covid-19 mortality rate declined continually. This is related to the increase in vaccination, going from 12.11% at the beginning of June to 31.05% of individuals partially vaccinated at the end of September. CONCLUSION: The Covid-19 pandemic is a serious public health problem, with Brazil being one of the most affected countries. Only in mid-April, with the expansion of the distribution of immunizing agents, mortality rates started dropping. However, we cannot minimize the number of deaths, which so far reaches 500 deaths per day. Thus, it is necessary to maintain protective measures and population vaccination so that the pandemic can come to an end.","PeriodicalId":285800,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Global Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129217936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RESULTS: Since colonization, there has been a great loss of indigenous peoples' rights over their territories, with recognition of their rights only in 1988. In the current scenario, there is an attempt to protect and guarantee these rights in real terms by the National Foundation for the Indigenous (Fundação Nacional do índio [FUNAI]) and, in the health sphere, by the Subsystem of Indigenous Health Care (Subsistema de Atenção à Saúde Indígena [SASI]), created in 1999. Such public agencies are under great governmental pressure, mainly by the Rural Caucus, creating great insecurity, harming the health and quality of life of these groups.
