Type Of Delivery

The superiority of breast milk over milk of other species is already consolidated and there are numerous benefits in the practice of breastfeeding. The Human Milk Bank is a privileged place for the establishment of breastfeeding, as actions to encourage, support and promote breastfeeding are developed. This is a cross-sectional, retrospective study carried out at the only maternity hospital in the city. The sample consisted of mothers and babies assisted by a lactation support program from 2005 to 2016 and also mothers and babies monitored by the human milk bank. It was observed that the assistance of the milk bank was associated with the type of delivery performed (cesarean) (OR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.03-4.33), having premature children (gestational age) (OR: 3 , 48; 95% CI: 1.52-7.95), higher education (OR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.03-1.32) and being younger (age) (OR: 0.94; 95% CI %: 0.88-0.99) were the indicators that increased the mother's chance to seek care from the milk bank, regardless of parity and place of residence. The support, protection and promotion of breastfeeding that is carried out in this place, is configured as an important scenario favoring this practice, impacting on the health of the mother-child binomial in the present and in the future.

Over Time

Background: In light of the few reports from intertropical latitudes and their conflicting results, we aimed to replicate and update the investigation of seasonal patterns of suicide occurrences in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Data relating to male and female suicides were extracted from the Mortality Information Enhancement Program (PRO-AIM), the official health statistics of the municipality of São Paulo. Seasonality was assessed by studying distribution of suicides over time using cosinor analyses. Results: There were 6,916 registered suicides (76.7% men), with an average of 39.0 ± 7.0 observed suicides per month. For the total sample and for both sexes, cosinor analysis estimated a significant seasonal pattern. For the total sample and for males suicide peaked in November (late spring) with a trough in May–June (late autumn). For females, the estimated peak occurred in January, and the trough in June–July. Conclusions: A seasonal pattern of suicides was found for both males and females, peaking in spring/summer and dipping in fall/winter. The scarcity of reports from intertropical latitudes warrants promoting more studies in this area.

The City

During the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, farmers worldwide were greatly affected by disruptions in the food chain. In 2020, São Paulo city experienced most of the effects of the pandemic in Brazil, with 15,587 deaths through December 2020. Here, we describe the impacts of COVID-19 on urban agriculture (UA) in São Paulo from April to August 2020. We analyzed two governmental surveys of 2100 farmers from São Paulo state and 148 from São Paulo city and two qualitative surveys of volunteers from ten community gardens and seven urban farmers. Our data showed that 50% of the farmers were impacted by the pandemic with drops in sales, especially those that depended on intermediaries. Some farmers in the city adapted to novel sales channels, but 22% claimed that obtaining inputs became difficult. No municipal support was provided to UA in São Paulo, and pre-existing issues were exacerbated. Work on community gardens decreased, but no garden permanently closed. Post COVID-19, UA will have the challenge of maintaining local food chains established during the pandemic. Due to the increase in the price of inputs and the lack of technical assistance, governmental efforts should be implemented to support UA.
