Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To estimate self-reported discrimination due to sexual orientation among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Brazil and to analyze associated factors. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 3,859 MSM recruited in 2008–2009 with respondent driven sampling. Data collection conducted in health centers in 10 Brazilian cities. A face-to-face questionnaire was used and rapid HIV and syphilis tests conducted. Aggregated data were weighted and adjusted odds ratio estimated to measure the association between selected factors and self-reported discrimination due to sexual orientation. RESULTS: The sample was predominantly young, eight plus years of schooling, pardo (brown), single, low-income, and identified themselves as gay or homosexual. The prevalence of self-reported discrimination due to sexual orientation was 27.7% (95%CI 26.2–29.1). Discrimination was independently associated with: age < 30 years, more years of schooling,community involvement and support, history of sexual and physical violence, suicidal thoughts, and unprotected receptive anal intercourse. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of self-reported discrimination among MSM in Brazil is high. These results challenge the assumptions that MSM-specific prevention and support programs are not required or that health professionals do not need special training to address MSM needs.

Abstract:
Introduction PrEP awareness in Latin America has been poorly characterized, with studies in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru highlighting awareness of 65% among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM). We assessed the association between higher risk of HIV infection, indicative of PrEP eligibility, and PrEP awareness among MSM from these countries. Methods This was a secondary analysis of a web-based survey advertised on social media platforms from March-June 2018 in Brazil, Mexico and Peru. Eligible individuals were cisgender MSM, ≥18 years old, HIV negative or of unknown status, who lived in these countries, and provided informed consent. Higher risk of HIV infection was defined as having 10 or more points in the HIV Risk Index for MSM (HIRI-MSM). We used multivariable Poisson regression models to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) testing the association between higher risk for HIV and PrEP awareness. Results After exclusions, 19,457 MSM were included in this analysis. In Brazil, 53.8% were classified as higher risk for HIV, 51.9% in Mexico, and 54.2% in Peru. Higher risk for HIV was minimally associated with PrEP awareness among those in Brazil (aPR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01, 1.06), but no such association was observed in Mexico or Peru. Having more than a high school education, high income, daily use of geosocial networking (GSN) applications, and substance use were associated with PrEP awareness. Conclusion Higher risk of HIV infection was associated with increased PrEP awareness in Brazil. However, this association was weak indicating that PrEP awareness could be strengthened with further prevention efforts. In the remaining countries, results were non-conclusive between risk and awareness. Interventions to increase PrEP awareness are paramount to increase PrEP willingness and uptake and in turn prevent new HIV infections. Social media platforms could play an important role to achieve this goal.

Abstract:
Based on an ethnography with men that use digital media in search of same sex partners in São Paulo, Brazil, this paper discusses what motivates their use of technological platforms. It also employs sociological and historical elements to reflect upon the social aspects of desire that fuel this search and the new visibility regime in which these men live. Finally, it analyses the moral, symbolic and material restrictions that mold an economy of desire demanding their discretion and secrecy.

Abstract:
Introduction The Curitiba (Brazil)-based Project, A Hora é Agora (AHA), evaluated a comprehensive HIV control strategy among men who have sex with men (MSM) aimed at expanding access to HIV rapid testing and linking HIV-positive MSM to health services and treatment. AHA’s approach included rapid HIV Testing Services (HTC) in one mobile testing unit (MTU); a local, gay-led, non-governmental organization (NGO); an existing government-run health facility (COA); and Internet-based HIV self-testing. The objectives of the paper were to compare a) number of MSM tested in each strategy, its positivity and linkage; b) social, demographic and behavioral characteristics of MSM accessing the different HTC and linkage services; and c) the costs of the individual strategies to diagnose and link MSM to services. Methods We used data for 2,681 MSM tested at COA, MTU and NGO from March 2015 to March 2017. This is a cross sectional comparison of the demographics and behavioral factors (age group, race/ethnicity, education, sexually transmitted diseases, knowledge of AHA services and previous HIV test). Absolute frequencies, percentage distributions and confidence intervals for the percentages were used, as well as unilateral statistical tests. Results and discussion AHA performed 2,681 HIV tests among MSM across three in-person strategies: MTU, NGO, and COA; and distributed 4,752 HIV oral fluid tests through the self-testing platform. MTU, NGO and COA reported 365 (13.6%) HIV positive diagnoses among MSM, including 28 users with previous HIV diagnosis or on antiretroviral treatment for HIV. Of these, 89% of MSM were eligible for linkage-to-care services. Linkage support was accepted by 86% of positive MSM, of which 66.7% were linked to services in less than 90 days. The MTU resulted in the lowest cost per MSM tested ($137 per test), followed by self-testing ($247). Conclusions AHA offered MSM access to HTC through innovative strategies operating in alternative sites and schedules. It presented the Curitiba HIV/AIDS community the opportunity to monitor HIV-positive MSM from diagnosis to treatment uptake. Self-testing emerged as a feasible strategy to increase MSM access to HIV-testing through virtual tools and anonymous test kit delivery and pick-up. Cost per test findings in both the MTU and self-testing support expansion to other regions with similar epidemiological contexts.

Abstract:
This article aims to reflect on how changes in digital sociability practices influence on the affective and sexual relationships among gay men in Northeast Brazil. We argue some of these changes are associated with an entrepreneurial ethics of desire, which is a set of desiring and sociability practices influenced by neoliberal imperatives, such as free competition, high selectiveness, meritocracy, economic rationale, utilitarianism, and self-entrepreneurship. In a mediatised reality under platform capitalism, we wonder: by taking on market-oriented practices, how do individuals constitute themselves as differentiated desiring subjects? We seek to elucidate this point by analysing seven in-depth interviews conducted with gay men whose affective-sexual trajectories have been impacted by communication technologies’ transformations in the last three decades. All respondents were gay men between 25-34 years old, residents in Recife’s metropolitan area and were contacted via Grindr. Focused on cultural scripts for sex mediated by digital media and on self-presentation in profiles, we investigate how these individuals negotiate homoerotic sociabilities simultaneously on different social platforms. In an attempt to constitute themselves as “desirable” subjects in digital spheres, these individuals experience several tensions that are triggered by social markers of desire, such as race, class, gender performativity and physicality. Based on an intersectional approach, we aim to identify aspects of what we define as an entrepreneurial ethics of desire. We also propose to investigate whether, in terms of resistance and indiscipline, we can think of an alternative sexual-affective ethics for sociability and desiring practices – namely a queer ethics of desire.

Abstract:
Despite men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) from Latin America (LA) are still a vulnerable population for known health-related conditions and social problems, availability of comparable data across LA countries for assessment and monitoring purposes is limited. The objective of this article is to present the study design and the questionnaire of LAMIS-2018 (Latin America MSM Internet Survey), its recruitment strategy, rates and sources by country, and the lessons learned from its implementation. LAMIS-2018 was a cross-sectional, internet-based survey targeting MSM living in 18 LA countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela) that gathered data about sexual behaviors, HIV/STI and viral hepatitis knowledge, prophylactic use of antiretrovirals, psychosocial health, and access to sexual health services. The survey went online for four months and was available in three languages (Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch). Promotion was carried out using dating apps, websites, social networks, and by community-based and academic organizations of each participating country directly in gay venues and in their own premises. Overall, 64,655 MSM participated in LAMIS-2018. Dating apps and websites were the most important recruitment source in most countries, except for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Suriname, where community-based organizations recruited most of the participants. Beyond the LAMIS-2018 implementation description, we highlight the feasibility of such a study in this context, based on the collaboration between community-based and academic organizations to obtain a large sample of MSM in the region. LAMIS-2018 data will contribute to identify determinants of risk behaviors and prevention needs of vulnerable MSM populations in each country of the region.

Abstract:
This chapter documents the ways in which the Brazilian focus on community mobilization and empowerment has succeeded in implementing timely and effective HIV prevention programs in key affected communities such as sex workers and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Further, the chapter analyzes the ways in which this strategy made it possible to address many of the structural drivers of HIV in these communities. Of great importance, however, it also highlights the extent to which addressing these structural forces depended on a favorable political context capable of supporting and nurturing such approaches. The subsequent “shift” of focus in terms of HIV prevention in Brazil is then examined to show how the broader political ecology of the country unfavorably changed what had been an effective initial response to ending AIDS in Brazil.

Abstract:
Over the course of the day, light intensity can vary by 10 billion-fold, but a retinal ganglion cell’s spike rate can change only by 100-fold. To cover the huge intensity range, two fundamentally different retinal circuits are required: a cone bipolar circuit for transmitting graded photoreceptor signals and a rod bipolar circuit capable of transmitting binary signals. By using gap junctions, the two circuits can share key neural elements. Such an efficient use of circuitry is critical in a neural tissue that is constrained to be thin and transparent.

Abstract:
This chapter describes where the food we love and need comes from and how it gets to our table. The fresh vegetables we enjoy may come from a local farmers market, the grapes from California, tree nuts from Vietnam, coffee from Brazil, spices from India, and fish from the Bering Sea, to name a few. This global interconnected and interdependent food system that feeds us also provides 40 per cent of global employment and accounts for 10 per cent of consumer spending. But it faces increasing risks from a changing climate. With a global view of the food system as a foundation, the chapter then considers how the many changes in the climate are affecting plants, the basis of life. Plants require the right temperatures, water, soil, air, and sunlight. All of these requirements except sunlight are changing, with subtle to profound implications. The air now has more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which means that most plants will grow faster and bigger, but any benefit will be offset by stress from increasing heat and drought. The chapter also looks at how the changing climate affects pests, pollinators, and the food supply chain.

Abstract:
Breathing is a vital rhythmic motor behavior that mediates gas exchange to support metabolism and regulate pH. All mammals must breathe continuously and reliably from birth and modulate their breathing throughout life in response to changes in metabolic demand and environmental stimuli. A number of congenital and neurodegenerative disorders affect the neural control of breathing in humans and lead to serious adverse health consequences, even death. Since the previous edition of this book, there have been considerable advances in our understanding of the breathing central pattern generator (CPG). This chapter focuses on the neural microcircuit within the preBötzinger Complex (preBötC); a second oscillator near the facial nucleus that appears to generate active expiration; and the microcircuit for sighing.

Abstract:
Susac syndrome is a rare disease involving a triad of subacute encephalopathy, vision loss involving branch retinal artery occlusions (BRAOs), and sensorineural hearing loss. Clinical presentation is variable and generally does not involve the entire triad. The suspected pathophysiology is an immune-mediated endotheliopathy affecting the precapillary arterioles of the brain, retina, and inner ear. MRI of the brain reveals abnormal white matter lesions similar to demyelinating disease, but with distinct characteristic central callosal lesions, as well as deep gray matter and leptomeningeal involvement. There is no standardized therapy for Susac’s, but suspicion of an immune-mediated endotheliopathy has informed empirical treatment with corticosteroids and various immunosuppressant regimens, which appear to improve the prognosis.

Full text
Abstract:
The ketogenic diet (KD) is considered a valuable nonpharmacologic approach for treating multiple neurologic disorders, for attenuating the neurologic sequelae of brain injury, and for reducing seizure burden. The mechanisms by which the KD works are largely unknown. Glucose is virtually the sole energy source for the brain. However, during times of starvation, the liver produces ketone bodies (KBs), which can supply up to 70% of the brain’s energy needs. Acetoacetate and β‎-hydroxybutyrate (β‎HB) are the most abundant KBs, whereas acetone, present in small quantities, is not commonly utilized as an energy source. Ketones are also advantageous in neuroinflammatory conditions because they decrease the production of free radicals. Studies suggest a significant increase in cerebral ketone uptake after brain injury. KBs are always present in the blood, and their levels increase after high-fat dietary intake, prolonged exercise, or extended fasting. Thus, one can predict an effect on the brain capillary endothelium from high levels of ketones in the blood. Prolonged exposure of blood–brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells to KBs induces expression of monocarboxylate transporters and enhances the cerebral uptake rate of KBs. In addition, cell migration and expression of gap junction proteins are upregulated by KBs. Altogether, reports suggest that the beneficial effects of the KD may depend on increased brain uptake of KBs to match metabolic demand as well as repair of the disrupted BBB. As the effects of KBs on the BBB and transport mechanisms across the BBB are better understood, it will be possible to develop alternative strategies to optimize therapeutic benefits for brain disorders where the BBB is compromised.

Abstract:
This chapter summarizes the common neurobiological pathways underpinning the wide range of symptoms seen in trauma-related disorders and provides helpful language for psychoeducation that can instill hope in the brain’s capacity to heal. This chapter reviews the triune brain model and highlights the role of more primitive brain areas in carrying out automatic defensive responses to threat, as conceptualized in the defense cascade model. Particular attention is given to dissociative responses, including freezing and collapsing/playing dead. The authors highlight crucial brain areas such as the periaqueductal gray matter, which enacts these defenses in the body. The authors also discuss how sensory processing abnormalities in areas such as the vestibular system, the cerebellum, and the temporal lobe can explain psychotic-like and dissociative symptoms, which are frequently misinterpreted as psychosis or malingering. Finally, the chapter reviews intrinsic connectivity networks and difficulties with higher-order cognitive functions.

Abstract:
Retirement from sport is a big decision for any athlete. Currently there are no evidence- or consensus-based guidelines for retirement from sport following multiple concussions. This gap is compounded by the lack of objective biomarkers to guide such decision-making. Current recommendations for retirement center around worrisome neurological findings on exam or brain imaging, prolonged recovery following concussion, low threshold for developing concussion, and shortened time intervals between concussions. Retirement from sport following one (or multiple) concussions should be based on multiple factors, including evidence of neurologic impairment, prolonged recovery, lower threshold for developing concussion, and personal/family concerns.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the statistical literacy from a practice carried out with 6th year elementary school students (11-12 years). The approach of the study is qualitative, but the analyzes are also based on quantitative data. Through the project "Meu Amigo," students from a school in Porto Alegre, Brazil interviewed their friends to collect data and build information about these classmates. Thus, they experienced the stages of statistical investigation, from the collection of data, through the organization, analysis and communication of the results. For the analysis of the information, a model of evaluation by headings was developed, organized in components and indicators. It was found that the indicators related to graphic and textual representations achieved better scores. However, the results relating to the tables showed less than the desired results. Este artigo analisa o letramento estatístico a partir de uma prática realizada com estudantes do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental (11–12 anos). A abordagem do estudo é qualitativa, mas as análises se apoiam, também, em dados quantitativos. Por meio do projeto “Meu Amigo,” os discentes de uma escola de Porto Alegre – Brasil entrevistaram seus amigos para coletarem dados e construírem informações sobre esses colegas. Assim, vivenciaram as etapas da investigação estatística, desde a coleta de dados, passando pela organização, análise e comunicação dos resultados. Para a análise das informações, elaborou-se um modelo de avaliação por rubricas, organizado em componentes e indicadores. Constatou-se que os indicadores relacionados às representações gráficas e textuais alcançaram melhores pontuações. Já os relativos às tabelas revelaram resultados aquém do desejado.

Abstract:
We herein discuss how college major choice affects gender wage gaps by highlighting the role that STEM majors play in explaining the gender wage gap in a developing country. We focus on a Latin American country where a systematic analysis of the interaction between students choice of college major and the gender wage gap is currently lacking. We take advantage of a very unique dataset of college students from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), Brazil, to decompose the raw gender gap in hourly wages into one component that can be explained by differences in endowments between men and women as well as a second or residual component that reflects gender differences in the prices of market skills. We implement the commonly applied decomposition approach at the wage distributions mean and a decomposition procedure that considers variations across the wage distribution. Our results reveal that the majors that women and men select explain 50% of the gender wage gap at the mean, and STEM majors contribute to 30% of this difference. When examining different percentiles of the wage distribution, we find that the selection of a major is more important at the middle of the distribution than at the bottom or top.
