Reliability of pressure pain threshold on myofascial trigger points in the trapezius muscle of women with chronic neck pain.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of pressure pain threshold measurement on myofascial trigger points in the trapezius muscle in women with chronic neck pain. ⋯ The present study showed that the assessment of pressure pain threshold through algometry presents satisfactory intraclass correlation coefficient values, considering different time and examiners, contributing to the spread of the use of this tool as a quantitative method of pain evaluation in myofascial trigger points.

Decompressive hinge craniectomy with linear durotomies for ischemic stroke: a pilot study.
Decompressive craniectomy may be a life-saving measure in ischemic stroke patients, who still have several associated complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate a novel decompressive surgery technique for severe hemispheric ischemic stroke. ⋯ We present a modified technique of hinge craniectomy with linear vertical and horizontal durotomies, which seems to have reduced operative time and mortality compared to classical decompressive craniotomy, although the difference was not statistically significant.

Observational StudyOphthalmological knowledge of Family Health Network physicians working as first care providers in Brazil.
First care providers working in the Brazilian Unified Health System are often physicians from the Family Health Program. Their knowledge on ophthalmology could indicate whether there is a need for training to decrease ophthalmological demands to secondary or tertiary health levels. ⋯ Family Health Program physicians working as first care providers in the Health System in Brazil presented poor ophthalmological knowledge. Providing training on ophthalmology may improve the ophthalmological care at the primary level within SUS and reduce the case demands at other healthcare levels.

Trends in teenage pregnancy in Brazil in the last 20 years (2000-2019).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of teenage pregnancy in all Brazilian regions and states in the period of 2000-2019 among two age groups, namely, 10-14 and 15-19 years old, and correlate it with the human development index. ⋯ Brazil shows a decline in the percentage of live birth among adolescent mothers and the fertility rate. Live birth is inversely proportional to the human development index score. However, the teenage pregnancy numbers are still high, with great regional inequality in the country.
