Temporal trends in tetanus incidence and lethality in Brazil: analysis of the national database from 2009 to 2018.
This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological and hospital characteristics of cases and deaths due to accidental tetanus in Brazil. ⋯ The high cost and lethality of tetanus configure it as a public health problem. The demonstration of the epidemiology of patients who most evolve to death can help to contribute to a reduction in lethality, which shows an increase in the analysis period. Finally, special attention should be given to the elderly people and those living in the northern region.

Relationship between pressure and thermal pain threshold, pain intensity, catastrophizing, disability, and skin temperature over myofascial trigger point in individuals with neck pain.
The objective of the study was to correlate the thermal pain threshold (heat and cold) on myofascial trigger points with measurements of pain and skin temperature in patients with chronic neck pain. ⋯ Thermal pain threshold (heat and cold) on myofascial trigger points is associated with pain intensity in individuals with chronic neck pain.
