- <b> </b> <b>O PAPEL DO FARMACÊUTICO NO ACOMPANHAMENTO DE USUÁRIOS DA PROFILAXIA PRÉ-EXPOSIÇÃO AO HIV (PrEP)</b>
Across the six included studies, adherence and continuity were associated with PrEP’s preventive effectiveness, while individual, social, and structural factors could impede access and continued engagement with health services. Individualized pharmacist guidance and integrated clinical follow-up were presented as potentially helpful, although pharmacist-exclusive interventions were not directly evaluated.
DOI 10.47820/recima21.v7i11.9551 → - A Diagnostic Algorithm Based on Urine Antigen and Blood Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing for Visceral Leishmaniasis in HIV-Coinfected Patients in Northwest Ethiopia
The supplied abstract reports blood PCR sensitivity 98% and specificity 64%, and KAtex urine antigen sensitivity 93% and specificity 81% against tissue microscopy. A sequential KAtex-first algorithm restricted PCR to 41.2% of episodes and tissue aspiration to 13.7%, with 100% sensitivity, 81% specificity, and 86% positive predictive value, meeting the WHO target product profile except for specificity.
DOI 10.4269/ajtmh.26-0104 → - A dengue sob uma perspectiva epidemiológica e sociodemográfica: uma análise sobre o estado de Minas Gerais
High incidence appeared in certain annual periods, with strong links to socioenvironmental factors, regional inequalities, and notable strain on the public health system.
DOI 10.57108/iesj.2026.6-1.1 → - A genomic toolkit for surveillance and elimination of the principal malaria vectors in Southeast Asia.
The authors released Adir1.0, a curated catalog of 540 An. dirus whole-genome sequences with cloud-based API access, and an updated Amin1.0 API. Their exploratory analysis identified population structure, candidate areas of physiological resistance, and genomic structural variation.
DOI 10.12688/wellcomeopenres.25981.2 → - A glycosylation-associated hemagglutinin substitution improves the breadth of an influenza B mRNA vaccine
The D212N substitution restored the glycosylation motif in the BV21 antigen and enhanced cross-neutralizing responses against tested heterologous strains; mice given a high dose of the modified vaccine showed 100% survival after challenge with viruses from different subclades.

Frontiers in Public Health
- Type
- Journal article
- Scope
- China
Why it matters now The authors identify prenatal syphilis screening and timely, evidence-based treatment as important for preventing congenital syphilis, and emphasize improved clinician recognition of late-stage syphilis complications.

Frontiers in Microbiology
- Type
- Journal article
- Scope
- Austria
Why it matters now With no confirmed circulating B/Yamagata-lineage viruses since March 2020, the authors frame B/Victoria protection as the current priority of influenza B vaccination, and the findings are presented as informing broadly protective influenza B vaccine development.
Defining epidemiologically relevant units of cholera transmission in sub-Saharan Africa
Science Advances
- Type
- Journal article
- Scope
- Not classified
Why it matters now The findings have implications for cholera control because the transmission units and clusters may support assessment of international-spread risk and characterization of lineage-attributable incidence when sequencing data are unavailable.

Parasites & Vectors
- Type
- Journal article
- Scope
- Brazil
Why it matters now The anthropophilic behaviour of sylvatic vectors in urban forest fragments suggests risk of mosquito-mediated yellow fever spillover into densely populated São Paulo, supporting the authors' call for sustained vaccination and entomological/virological surveillance in peri-urban settings.

- Not classified
Why it matters now The findings suggest that, among hospitalized adults tested for respiratory viruses, influenza was not associated with a higher short-term hazard of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation, while atrial fibrillation identified during hospitalization was associated with increased one-year mortality.
Global return-on-investment of COVID-19 vaccines in the first year of the vaccination programme: A model-based economic evaluation
PLOS Medicine
- Type
- Journal article
- Scope
- Not classified
Why it matters now The abstract describes COVID-19 vaccines as critical to reducing global health burden and concludes that rapid vaccine development and equitable global distribution should be prioritized before and during global health crises.

Revista ft
- Type
- Journal article
- Scope
- Not classified
Why it matters now The topic is relevant to prenatal public health because syphilis during pregnancy can be transmitted vertically and may affect mothers and fetuses. The review emphasizes prevention, timely detection, treatment, follow-up, health education, and partner engagement within prenatal care.
Peer reviewed Open access Hepatitis BHepatitis C
