New CME Brief Report: Optimizing Treatment for Insomnia


Dr Krystal describes a new paradigm for managing insomnia in which clinicians can select interventions that best target the sleep problem of each patient. The result is an improved risk-benefit ratio.

O século da metropolização no tempo e no espaço

Artigo do AMICOR Professor Emérito Aldo Paviani

Milhões de pessoas migraram para cidades próximas, para centros maiores ou para outras regiões

(crédito: MAURO PIMENTEL/AFP)

Em meados do século 20, a agricultura passou por mecanização e, com isso, liberou mão de obra rural em direção aos centros urbanos no Brasil. Milhões de pessoas migraram para cidades próximas, para centros maiores ou para outras regiões. Em tese, no meio urbano, os migrantes encontrariam postos de trabalho que exigissem baixa qualificação técnica. Com isso, acelera-se o processo de urbanização. A caminhada para os grandes aglomerados urbanos aconteceu ao redor do mundo e não poderia deixar de acontecer no Brasil. Nessa época, portanto, o país deixou de ser agrário para se tornar urbano. Costuma-se referir que as cidades intermediárias receberam população por oferecerem equipamentos e serviços, tornando-se atrativas aos imigrantes. Essas cidades intermediárias não chegam a competir ou rivalizar com as/.../

Global microbiome transition network hints at origins and evolution paths of microbiomes

The Earth contains about one trillion species of microbes -- only about
one-tenth of which have been identified. A human can house 100 trillion
microbes, creating a microbiome that serves an ecosystem of microbes.

Microbes connect and transform in myriad ways, ...

Cancer as a Global Health Priority

JAMA. Published online August 6, 2021. doi:10.1001/jama.2021.12778

Cancer imposes a profound burden on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
where 65% of approximately 10 million global cancer deaths in 2020 occurred.1 
Moreover, global cancer morbidity and mortality are increasing due to demographic
and epidemiological transitions, with 16 million global cancer deaths projected in 2040,
an estimated 69% of which will occur in LMICs.1 The lowest-income countries will
experience the greatest proportional increases, with a projected near doubling of
cancer deaths./.../
