- Skin diseases in Africans [Dermatoses em Africanos]Publication . Ana, Marcos-Pinto,; Ana, Ortins-Pina,; Costa, João Borges -; Global Health and Tropical Medicine (GHTM); Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT); TB, HIV and opportunistic diseases and pathogens (THOP); Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, Centro de Estudos Históricos, CELOMNowadays, due to the increasingly frequent migratory circuits in Europe and the increment of the migrant population in Portugal, mainly in the Lisbon metropolitan area, it is more and more common to find several dermatological conditions and disorders in Africans seen in our health care system. There are few studies on dermatoses in these populations. It is important to know the biologic and physiologic differences of black skin in order to understand both the pathophysiology and manifestations of dermatoses. The recognition of many of them represents a challenge to any clinician due to the specific characteristics of their skin. It is thus essential to know the different patterns and frequencies of skin diseases in Africans, in order to optimize the diagnosis, approach and treatment.

It brought together 27 scholars from Europe, North America, Latin America and Africa who presented 22 papers, distributed across six thematic sessions, preceded by a keynote address. The papers presented and discussed during the meeting, covered a wide range of issues, including epidemiology, health systems and services, disease control and eradication programmes, biomedical knowledge and research, military and civil medicine, veterinary medicine, colonial and post-colonial medicine, entomology, medical networks, and international and global health. The present paper provides a summary of workshop proceedings and of the papers presented during the two-day meeting, the first of its kind held at the IHMT.
- Conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas sobre zikaPublication . Forrester, Monica Sá Bastos; Cassiano, Keila Mara; Teodósio, R; Havik, PJ; Wakimoto, Mayumi Duarte; Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT); Global Health and Tropical Medicine (GHTM); Vector borne diseases and pathogens (VBD); TB, HIV and opportunistic diseases and pathogens (THOP); Instituto de Higiene e Medicina TropicalNo Brasil um surto causado pelo vírus zika foi relatado em 2015 e estima-se a ocorrência de 1,5 milhões de casos entre 2015 e 2016. Este trabalho pretende descrever conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas sobre zika em gestantes e puérperas de uma maternidade de alto risco no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Objetiva traçar o perfil das mulheres, analisar as características socio-demográficas, clínico-epidemiológicas, investigar conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas sobre zika destas mulheres e construir um escore de avaliação do conhecimento sobre a doença. Trata-se de um estudo seccional realizado por meio de questionário estruturado elaborado com base no modelo da OMS. A criação do escore (EFWC) permitiu a qualificação do grau de conhecimento sobre zika. A maior parte das gestantes e puérperas julgou insuficiente a informação que possui sobre zika (71%) em relação a sinais e sintomas (68,3%), causa (67,5%), prevenção (61,8%) e consequências (57%). A partir do cálculo do escore, observou-se que 1,6% das mulheres não tinham conhecimento algum sobre zika; 58,5% das mulheres tem conhecimento ruim ou inferior sobre zika. Não foi observada correlação entre renda, escolaridade ou idade da população deste estudo ao conhecimento sobre zika medido pelo escore. In Brazil an outbreak caused by the zika virus was reported in 2015 and an estimated 1.5 million cases were reported in 2015 and 2016. This paper aims to describe knowledge, attitudes and practices about zika in pregnant and postpartum women of a high risk maternity hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It aims to trace the profile of women, analyze the demographic, clinical and epidemiological characteristics, investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices about zika of these women and build a knowledge assessment score on the disease. This is a sectional study carried out using a structured questionnaire based on the WHO model. The score (EFWC) was elaborated to assess the degree of knowledge about zika. Most of pregnant and postpartum women considered the information they had about zika insufficient (71%) regarding signs and symptoms (68.3%), cause (67.5%), prevention (61.8%), consequences (57%). The score revealed that 1.6% of the women had no knowledge about zika; 58.5% of women had poor or inferior knowledge about zika. No correlation was found between income, schooling or age of the study population and knowledge about zika measured by the score.
