Summary: The objective of this study was to analyze the factors associated with preventable infant mortality in Espirito Santo, Brazil. Data were collected from records of infant deaths classified as preventable and non-preventable. Logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated with preventable deaths. The results showed that approximately 73% and 76% of the deaths were preventable according to different methods. Preterm birth, postneonatal death, and birth weight between 3000 and above 4000 g were found to be associated with higher chances of preventable infant deaths. The quality of care offered during the prenatal, prepartum, and childbirth periods was identified as a significant factor for preventable infant deaths.

Summary: Evidence shows that sylvatic yellow fever has been present in the Atlantic Forest areas of Brazil since 1931. A recent entomological survey identified Haemagogus leucocelaenus and Hg. janthinomys/capricornii as the main vectors, with Sabethes chloropterus, Sa. soperi, Sa. identicus, Aedes aureolineatus, and Shannoniana fluviatilis possibly playing a secondary role. This study highlights the importance of entomological monitoring and high vaccination coverage.

Summary: Individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) have dysregulation of their immune system, with elevated cytokine levels, increased interferon signaling, T-cell phenotype changes, and reduced B-cell compartment. Understanding the immune system is crucial for improving treatment for individuals with DS.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of benthic foraminifera along the continental slope of the Espírito Santo Basin. The density, taxonomic diversity, and assemblage composition of benthic foraminifera varied with depth. The dominant taxa were influenced by factors such as organic matter flux, bottom water oxygen concentration, and hydrodynamics conditions. Food supply was identified as the primary factor controlling the distribution, while secondary factors included water mass properties and boundary currents.

Summary: Precision and organization are important factors governing the cell cycle and ensuring normal cell proliferation. However, some cells may undergo abnormal cell divisions or variations of mitotic cycles, leading to the formation of polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs). These cells play a critical role in tumor survival, resistance, and immortalization, and can access multiple programs that enable metastasis, drug resistance, tumor recurrence, and self-renewal. This literature review aims to explore the current knowledge about polyploidy in tumors, the applications of computational studies in understanding cancer polyploidy, and the contributions of PGCCs to tumorigenesis.
