Beach surface model construction: A strategy approach with structure from motion - multi-view stereo.

In contrast to traditional beach profiling methods like topographic surveys and GNSS, which pose significant challenges in terms of cost and time, this research underscores the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity of terrestrial photogrammetry employing the Structure from Motion-Multi View Stereo (SfM-MVS) method. Notably, this approach enables the utilization of commonplace devices such as smartphones for data capture. The methodology integrates a 12-megapixel camera for image acquisition, processed through Agisoft Metashape Professional software, and validated for accuracy using ground control points (GCPs) and checkpoints (CKPs) calibrated via GNSS. Findings reveal substantial disparities in positional accuracy according to the Ground Control Points distribution. The study underscores the critical role of strategically distributing GCPs and CKPs in effectively mapping coastal areas, thus affirming the potential of SfM-MVS as a powerful and accessible tool for coastal monitoring initiatives. This research contributes significantly to advancing the efficiency and accessibility of beach profile monitoring, offering invaluable insights for researchers and practitioners in coastal management and environmental conservation efforts.•A simplified beach profile modeling methodology is proposed.•The method is faster and more cost-effective than traditional surveys (RTK GNSS, lidar, RPA).•The study highlights the importance of GCP and CKP distribution in enhancing SfM-MVS accuracy for coastal mapping.

Non-communicable chronic diseases: Mortality of older adult citizens in Brazil and Italy before the Covid-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study was to outline the main non-communicable chronic diseases that led older people to death in Brazil and Italy before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic according to age gaps and region of residence. This study has identified that the highest mortality rate among Brazilian and Italian women took place in lower-income areas, potentially due to insufficient public policies to increase income and improve health, which would in turn reduce the risk of chronic diseases and increase life expectancy. Men showed higher mortality rates in different regions, and tended to die earlier. Our results highlight socioeconomic differences in the areas with the highest death rates due to non-communicable chronic diseases, emphasizing the relevance of public policies to meet the needs of the overall population.

Therapeutic itinerary of transsexual people in light of human rights.

BACKGROUND: The therapeutic itinerary is not limited to the identification and availability of health services offered, but relates to the different individual searches and sociocultural and economic possibilities of each patient. In this study, we discuss the therapeutic itinerary of transsexual people seeking healthcare, from the user's perspective. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to discuss the therapeutic itinerary of transsexual people seeking healthcare, from the user's perspective. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Individual interviews were performed with 10 transsexuals at the Trans Space of a University Hospital of Pernambuco, using the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the theoretical reference and the Bardin's thematic content analysis as the reference methodological framework. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at the Federal University of Pernambuco under protocol no. 91284218.5.0000.5208. FINDINGS: The comprehensive care for transsexual people was evidenced through four categories analyzed: low demand of transsexuals in health services; use of social name in health services; care permeated by prejudiced and discriminatory attitudes; and health system and professionals who are not able to meet transgender health issues. DISCUSSION: Transsexual people are stigmatized and experience prejudice in their daily health, in a way they do not enjoy fundamental rights, as if they had fewer rights, or infringe the principle of universality of access to health. Thus, for effective and comprehensive care, the health team must keep up to date on the public policies existing in the healthcare of transsexual people and reconstruct what they understand by gender. CONCLUSION: Knowledge about the therapeutic itinerary of transgender people may support evaluation processes of health service networks to ensure the access to and reorganization of these services. Understanding this dynamic allows fostering discussions about the structure of health services at all care levels for the care of this population.

[Prevalence and clinical significance of interactions drug-enteral nutrition in Intensive Care Units]. / Prevalencia e significancia clinica de interacoes farmaco-nutricao enteral em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva.

This is a multicenter, cross-sectional retrospective study, which aimed to determine the prevalence of interactions drug-enteral nutrition (EN) in Intensive Care Units (ICU) of seven teaching hospitals in Brazil, and to analyze the clinical significance of them. Information on medications and EN administered with 24 hours and 120 hours of hospitalization were collected. For identification of drug-EN interaction was employed software Drug Reax®. It was investigated 1.124 records. Of these, 320 patients, with 24 hours of hospitalization, were on EN, and 20 (6.3%) had drug-EN interaction. Of the 504 patients with 120 hours of hospitalization, 39 (7.7%) had drug-EN interaction. The most frequent drug-EN interactions of clinical significance were phenytoin-EN, warfarin-EN and levothyroxine-EN. Drug-EN interactions may interfere with the quality and cost effectiveness of care in ICU, so it is essential that the health team has knowledge about them.
