METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted in 9 hospitals in 5 key regions (Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu, Guangzhou) to capture patient profiles and to evaluate treatment patterns in patients following hospitalization for HF. Patients hospitalized for HF in 2005-2008 were identified. A total of 805 HF subjects' charts were selected and reviewed for health care treatment between 2000 and 2011. Data were collected from the first HF hospitalization until the last date of data entry or death. RESULTS: A total of 460 patients with HF-REF and at least one hospitalization were followed for an average of 2.86 years. Patients were aged 61.8Ϯ14.12, and 65.9% were male. On average, HF-REF patients had 2.0Ϯ2.30 hospitalizations during follow-up. At the first hospitalization, severity was most frequently New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III in 46.4% of patients, followed by Class IV in 27.1% and Class II in 26.0%. HF severity increased with subsequent hospitalizations. The most common etiologic/comorbid conditions were idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (49.3%) followed by hypertension (42.2%), atrial fibrillation (24.1%) and ischemic heart disease (20.2%). Median length of stay for the first hospitalization was 10 days with the subsequent 3 hospitalizations ranging between 8-9 days. The overall death rate during the follow-up period was 19.35% with regional variance; 0% in Shanghai to 32% in Wuhan; however Shanghai subjects had milder HF. The mean time to death was 747.0Ϯ568.9 days from first hospitalization for those who died (median: 779.0). CONCLUSIONS: This large chart review provides a recent, real-world patient profile of HF-REF patients following hospitalization for HF in China. Heart failure treatment presents a large burden to the health care system in the 5 major regions in China, with some regional variations.

All patients entered the registry at time of diagnosis. RESULTS: Our registries contained information of 615 mRCC and 3093 haematological cancer patients (non-Hodgkin, multiple myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia). They provided important information about how patients, including those regularly excluded from clinical trials, are treated in daily practice. However, important data, including prognostic information, was commonly missing (e.g. 40-55% missing performance status). Furthermore, patients treated with the drug of interest were not comparable to patients not treated with this drug. Moreover, only small numbers of patients received the drug of interest (mRCC: Nϭ34; non-Hodgkin: Nϭ35), and many patients received different drugs in various combinations and treatment sequences in haematological cancers. This, in combination with the inability to fully correct for confounding, complicates the estimation of a real-world incremental cost-effectiveness estimate. CONCLUSIONS: Our registries provided important information to physicians and policymakers to enhance quality of care and facilitate evidence-based decision making. Although population-based registries include high numbers of patients, it remains a challenge to obtain sufficient numbers of similarly treated and comparable patients. Therefore, it is inevitable to use data synthesis in combination with comprehensive modelling techniques to obtain valid real-world incremental cost-effectiveness estimates.

Apresento quatro estudos de caso, em Portugal, que cruzam investigação antropológica e arte participativa. Concluo, apresentando algumas evidências de como os projetos artísticos que envolvem migrantes são eficazes nos seus propósitos facilitadores de inclusão social, nomeadamente na aprendizagem da língua do país de acolhimento.

The analysis of the models of modern psychiatry and the importance of the role of anthropology (health) in the production of new theoretical formulations concerning "transculturality" in the clinic were sought here. It is important to emphasize that the interdisciplinarity of both areas is increasingly necessary, since the opposite has been revealed as leading to sterile transcultural practices that fragment the reality brought by immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. It serves the present to emphasize the importance of this polymorphous discourse.

A omissão destes aspetos compromete a coerência na prática clínica nas organizações prestadoras de cuidados de saúde. O Alto Comissariado para as Migrações [ACM] desenvolveu em Portugal (2009-2012) o Projeto de Mediação Intercultural em Serviços Públicos [MISP], colocando mediadores interculturais nos contextos de cuidados de saúde: elementos neutros particularmente ativos na resolução de tensões. Findo o Projeto inicial cria-se em 2015 a Rede de Ensino Superior em Mediação Intercultural e o grupo temático da Saúde. Iniciase um estudo no paradigma qualitativo, com orientação etnometodológica, para identificação dos resultados do MISP na saúde, designado MEIOS. Pretende-se evidenciar resultados preliminares obtidos, de acordo com a etapa do estudo desenvolvida. Conclui-se sobre a importância da inclusão de mediadores nos contextos, do reconhecimento...

The MAP-FGM Project, co-financed by the European Commission, constitutes an innovative biannual rogram that aims to raise awareness and to prepare future professionals of different fields and specialities that may, in the future, be in contact with populations coming from countries that practice FGM/C. (...) The Academic Training Guide is destined to promote and facilitate the incorporation of academic content about FMG/C in different university degrees such as medicine, nursing, education, psychology, social work, law, criminology, anthropology, international cooperation for development, gender and feminist studies, communication and journalism. The Guide has been drafted by teaching and research staff from different disciplines connected to the Rey Juan Carlos University, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the Rome Tre University, the University Institute of Lisbon and the Vrij Universiteit Brussel, and experts from two specialized foundations with an ample trajectory in the intervention field (Wassu-UAB Foundation and Angello Celli Foundation). The aim of the Guide is to offer, in a structured and accessible way, teaching contents for the training of future professionals that can play a key role in the prevention and abandonment of the practice and the assistance to women and girls. In that sense, it can be useful to the university teaching staff, to the academic authorities or to the students interested in acquiring academic and professional knowledge specialized on the subject. Its multisector character derives from the participation of authors coming from different disciplines, with various conceptual and epistemological focuses. The plurality of perspectives gathered in this guide reflect the intensity of academic debates and the complexity of the theoretical and practical dilemmas that the abandonment of the FGM/C poses, both in the countries of origin and in hosting countries.

Human mobility has long been associated with the idea of crisis (Lindley, 2014). In reality, various political, social and institutional challenges and crises have affected the lives of asylum seekers seeking protection and dignifying living conditions. While numbers might contribute to political rhetoric claiming that the so-called European refugee crisis has come to an end, the critical scenarios are far from ceasing.
