Studies have shown a higher prevalence of uterine fibroids in black women compared to women of other ethnicities. Understanding the causes of this disparity is fundamental to developing more effective prevention and treatment strategies. Investigating the relationship between the incidence of uterine fibroids and black ethnicity, analyzing the genetic and social factors that may contribute to this correlation and proposing measures to reduce the incidence of uterine fibroids in black women are the aims of this study. This is a systematic literature review using an exploratory and narrative method, with qualitative and quantitative premises. The databases used were PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science and the Virtual Health Library. The articles analyzed were selected by exclusion and inclusion criteria, which are set out here, using the health sciences descriptors “uterine fibroids”, “black women and uterine fibroids”, “genetic factors and uterine fibroids” and “environmental factors and uterine fibroids”, reaching a total of 617 articles searched and 9 used in this study. Genetic studies have suggested a genetic predisposition to the development of uterine fibroids in black women, with the identification of genetic variants associated with a higher risk. In addition, social factors such as limited access to quality healthcare, socioeconomic inequalities and exposure to psychosocial stressors may also play an important role. Lack of access to preventive healthcare and unequal access to effective treatments may contribute to a higher prevalence of uterine fibroids in black women. Measures to reduce this disparity include promoting equitable access to healthcare, reproductive health education and public policies that address the underlying causes of health inequalities. The correlation between uterine fibroids and black women highlights the need for integrated approaches that consider both genetic and social factors. Promoting equity in access to health care and implementing public policies aimed at women’s health are key to reducing the incidence of uterine fibroids and improving the quality of life of black women.","PeriodicalId":507713,"journal":{"name":"Health and Society","volume":"25 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140265329","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}

Several factors may contribute to this increase, including deforestation and globalization, which have a direct impact on the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the dengue vector. The aims of this study are to investigate the relationship between increased deforestation and globalization and the increase in dengue cases in Brazil and to analyse the mechanisms by which deforestation and globalization can influence the spread of dengue. The methodology in question is a systematic review, using the narrative method, using quantitative and qualitative factors to reach the expected result. The DataSus/Tabnet, Terrabrasilis, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Virtual Health Library databases were also used, using the health sciences descriptors “Dengue hospitalizations”, “Deforestation and Arboviruses”, “Deforestation and Dengue” and “Globalization and Dengue”, totalling 84 works and 8 works of literature were used in the formulation of this review and 2 references were formulated through the quantitative databases. Deforestation can increase the incidence of dengue, as it creates favorable environments for the reproduction of the transmitting mosquito, such as the accumulation of water in tires, cans and abandoned containers. In addition, deforestation can lead to the migration of populations from rural to urban areas, increasing exposure to endemic areas of the disease. Globalization can also contribute to the increase in dengue cases by facilitating the transport of infected people and the mosquito vector between different regions. Increased international trade and tourism can expand the spread of the dengue virus to new areas. The increase in the number of dengue cases in Brazil is related to deforestation and globalization, which create favourable conditions for the propagation of the mosquito vector and the spread of the dengue virus between different regions. Disease control measures must take these factors into account and include actions to monitor deforestation, vector control and public health education in order to reduce the incidence of dengue in the country.","PeriodicalId":507713,"journal":{"name":"Health and Society","volume":"227 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140265284","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}

Despite the fact that there are an increasing number and variety of information sources available to physicians, many questions remain concerning the authenticity, quality, and usefulness of medical information. With the goal of improving current medical information delivery, new methodologies are needed to assess doctors’ real-life demands. Objective: The goal of this study was to explore the information requirements and seeking behaviour of Portuguese’s neurologists treating patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and migraine. Methods: An exploratory mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) investigation of 15 consecutive days was conducted. It was necessary to recruit a total of 50 neurologists (25 MS experts and 25 migraine specialists). An instant messaging programme built for this study was used to gather data. Personal interviews were conducted by computer at each information-seeking session, which included semi structured interviews and closed-ended questions. Content analysis was used to identify emergent themes from the mobile app interactions and physician enquiries. Results: A total of 36/20, or 71 percent, of the questions posed by neurologists were linked to treatment management and pharmacological information, followed by diagnostic techniques and procedures. Online resources were preferred by doctors (48/50, 96 percent) over offline alternatives (24/50, 47 percent) in a quantitative study. In 33% of information-seeking activities, a multi-channel strategy was used, which included using both online and offline resources to address the same demand. Neurologists were more likely to use internet resources than offline ones (F=1.7; P=.01) to get information. Compared to migraine neurologists, MS specialists were 53% more likely to participate in a single information-seeking event (risk ratio 1.54; 95% CI 1.12 to 2.05). More than two-thirds of MS specialists (28 percent [7/25] vs. 10 percent [2/25], P=.06) were interested in patient-related material, whereas migraine physicians (85% [21/25] vs. 60% [15/25], P=.05) were more inclined to seek information on treatment management. Both online and offline information searching was more difficult for migraine experts (F=12.5, P=.01) and offline channels were utilised less often (30 percent [8/25] versus 60 percent of information-seeking events, P=.02). To get information from various sources, both migraine and MS experts reported lower satisfaction rates (single source vs multiple sources P=.003). Conclusion: Portuguese MS and migraine neurologists are described in great depth in this research, including their real-life search activity as well as educational requirements and information sources they use. Neurologist information demands and information-seeking behaviour are influenced by their professional field.

Handball is characterized by an aerobic predominance, but it is anaerobic stimuli that determine the actions of the game. As several anaerobic actions are performed during the game, understanding the resistance of this metabolism in athletes becomes important. Objective: To compare the variables of anaerobic resistance in young players from different handball positions. Materials and methods: twenty female players with an average age of 16.8± 0.8 years participated in this study. The Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was performed, which consisted of 6 sprints of 35 meters of running. Maximum, average and minimum power (absolute and relative) and fatigue index were calculated. Statistics with mean, standard deviation were used. To compare the different groups, ANOVA was used. Results: It was possible to observe values without significant statistical differences between the athletes in absolute power. In relative powers, it was possible to verify that point guards and wingers had higher values than goalkeepers and pivots (p<0.05). In relation to the fatigue index, wingers and point guards had lower values than goalkeepers and pivots (p<0.05). Conclusion: both in terms of power and fatigue index, point guards and wingers have better anaerobic conditioning than strikers and pivots. And pivots have better anaerobic capacity than goalkeepers.
