TL;DR: The authors delineate the study's objectives, principal methodological features, and timeline, and confirm that long-term biologic sample storage will allow investigation of biomarkers that may predict cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

TL;DR: This study finds that during 1999-2007, hospitalizations in Brazil for ambulatory care-sensitive chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and asthma, fell at a rate that was statistically significant and almost twice the rate of decline in hospitalizations for all other causes.

TL;DR: As long as a vaccine is not available, further dengue control depends on potential results from basic interdisciplinary research and intervention evaluation studies, integrating environmental changes, community participation and education, epidemiological and virological surveillance, and strategic technological innovations aimed to stop transmission.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of increased primary healthcare availability through the implementation of the Family Health Program (FHP) on PHCSC admissions rates at the hospitals in Brazil.

TL;DR: In sero-positive individuals, mortality was strongly associated with the presence of ventricular conduction defects and arrhythmias, and older individuals presented the highest risk of development of frequent and multifocal extrasystoles.
