Objective: The purpose of this review was to discuss the effectiveness of public health policies in controlling Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil from 2015 to 2019 with an emphasis in the state of Pernambuco. Literature Review: Zika virus is an arbovirus primarily transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Since 2015, the control of Aedes aegypti proliferation and diffusion has been a global subject of discussion due to its role in ZIKV transmission and the emergence of serious clinical symptoms resulting from this infection. In Brazil, the public policies established to control ZIKV outbreak were mostly based on vector control. Final Considerations: The coping model to manage the transmission vector of ZIKV is not showing to be effective.  Furthermore, until the social factors that favor the development and maintenance of mosquito breeding sites are eradicated, Brazil will continue to be susceptible to new outbreaks of mosquito-driven arboviruses. Here, we discussed the effectiveness of public health policies for the control of ZIKV in Brazil from 2015 to 2019, with a primary focus on the state of Pernambuco (PE).

Abstract Aim Report of the ascending, collective and participative process of construction of the Strategic Action Plan of the State Secretariat of Health of Piauí for the period from 2020 to 2023 and its compatibility with the Planning and Management Instrument of the State of Piauí - PPA (Plano Pluri Yearly). Action developed for the Institutional Development Program of SUS. We sought consistency and compatibility for health needs and Government priorities, implementing public health policies, technical, operational and financial feasibility and feasibility, impact and improvement in living conditions and health of the population, reducing inequalities, expanding the access to inclusive health policies, increase in citizen's life expectancy and life expectancy at birth. Methods Workshops, with technical staff from the Health Secretariat and the State Planning Secretariat, using the Situational Strategic Planning-PES, in addition to the Balanced Scorecard, and the SWOT Matrix. The SESAPI Strategic Map was previously built, with priorities for the identification of plans and results oriented to the goals. Results The SWOT Matrix focused on analyzing the environment or scenarios, internal and external, with strategies to maintain strengths, reduce the intensity of weaknesses, use opportunities and protect against threats. The technical health priorities were legitimized and made compatible with the State Planning Secretariat, in Workshops with Social Representations of the 12 Regional Development Territories of the State. Conclusions The prioritized strategic actions embodied the definition of Budgetary Actions for the health area that conform to the LOA- Annual Budget Law, linking the estimated amounts to a set of indicators and desired and possible results to be achieved in the established period. The entire process was technically monitored and submitted to analysis and approval by the Social Control bodies in compliance with the provisions of the legislation in force. Key messages The prioritized strategic actions embodied the definition of Budgetary Actions for the health area and linked the estimated amounts to a set of indicators. All production has generated the formation of a government staff with managerial capacity to strategic planning and evaluation as part of training teams trained by the government.

O potencial dos pneus inservíveis como criadouros para o mosquito Aedes aegypti, vetor da Dengue, febre Chikungunya e Zika vírus, é amplamente conhecido. Este estudo teve como objetivos descrever a gestão dos pneus inservíveis no município de Chapecó e avaliar relação entre o número de pneus destinados à Reciclanip e o número de focos de A. aegypti registrados em pneus. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de maio a agosto de 2016 e teve como base o período de 2010 a 2015. Dados foram obtidos no sitio eletrônico da DIVE/SC e junto ao setor de Vigilância em Saúde Ambiental do município de Chapecó. A quantidade de pneus inservíveis recebidos pelo ecoponto triplicou no período avaliado. A correlação entre a gestão ambientalmente correta dos pneus inservíveis e o número de focos de A. aegypti foi negativa (r = -0,79) e significativa (p0,05). Os resultados encontrados permitem inferir que a gestão ambientalmente correta dos pneus inservíveis contribui positivamente para a promoção da saúde pública, na prevenção da Dengue, febre Chikungunya e Zika vírus.Palavras-chave: Gestão de resíduos.

The aim of this study was to describe the management of waste tires in the municipality of Chapecó and to evaluate the relationship between the number of tires destined for Reciclanip and the number of A. aegypti outbreaks recorded in tires. Data collection was performed from May to August 2016 and was based on the period from 2010 to 2015. Data were obtained from the DIVE/SC website and from the Environmental Health Surveillance sector of Chapecó municipality. The amount of waste tires received by the ecopoint tripled in the evaluated period. The correlation between the environmentally correct management of the waste tires and the number of A. aegypti outbreaks was negative (r = -0.79) and significant (p 0.05). The results found allow to infer that the environmentally correct management of waste tires contributes positively to the promotion of public health in the prevention of Dengue, Chikungunya fever and Zika virus.Keywords: Waste management.

El dengue es una enfermedad de interés en salud pública por su impacto en la morbilidad y mortalidad en el contexto mundial, regional y nacional. En 2009, la recolonización del Aedes aegypti, vector del dengue en la Argentina y en la Provincia de Córdoba generó una crisis sanitaria. Analizaremos el rol de Estado Provincial como responsable de políticas públicas sanitarias, abordando la implementación de éstas a partir de una evaluación razonable y cuidadosa de la realidad, teniendo en cuenta que el derecho a la salud, analizado en clave del Estado Social de Derecho, es un verdadero derecho fundamental.

Data on births are important, both for demographic and health aspects since they allow the construction of several indicators, such as birth and fecundity rates, and the analysis of the health situation (IBGE, 2009). This way aimed to characterize the live birth numbers in the 217 municipalities in the state of Maranhão through search of secondary data in the public domain, available in Live Births Information System - SINASC, the Ministry of Health for the number of live births in the 217 municipalities of Maranhão state, in the years 2000, 2010 and 2014. From the analysis of the data can be observed that a number of live births in Maranhão is more pronounced in the central Maranhão mesoregion and in some points of the western, eastern and northern mesoregions of the State of Maranhão, with a mean between 101 and 600 births per year. There was a significant variation between the years 2010 and 2000 when comparing births by a period. The data on live births are needed for directing public health policies that come to contribute to social improvement.Key words: birth, Maranhense, population.

Abstract The technological and scientific advances have brought, in the context of public health policies, a relentless pursuit of the notion of well-being and the elimination of pain, a feeling which was not always conceived as an evil to be eradicated. Foucault, through the concept of biopolitics, indicated that actions from the medical domain were incorporated by the State in order to control the bodies, with the support of medicalization. Starting from a psychoanalytic approach - in which it is assumed that pain can fulfill a role for man as a speaking animal - we conclude that in cases of chronic pain, it is critical, before curing it, to understand its purpose and to seek singular solutions.

Abstract Objectives We developed COVID-19 Outbreak Simulator (https://ictr.github.io/covid19-outbreak-simulator/) to quantitatively estimate the effectiveness of preventative and interventive measures to prevent and battle COVID-19 outbreaks for specific populations. Materials and methods Our simulator simulates the entire course of infection and transmission of the virus among individuals in heterogeneous populations, subject to operations and influences, such as quarantine, testing, social distancing, and community infection. It provides command-line and Jupyter notebook interfaces and a plugin system for user-defined operations. Results The simulator provides quantitative estimates for COVID-19 outbreaks in a variety of scenarios and assists the development of public health policies, risk-reduction operations, and emergency response plans. Discussion Our simulator is powerful, flexible, and customizable, although successful applications require realistic estimation and robustness analysis of population-specific parameters. Conclusion Risk assessment and continuity planning for COVID-19 outbreaks are crucial for the continued operation of many organizations. Our simulator will be continuously expanded to meet this need.
