This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We performed a prospective study from Nov-2017 to Oct-2018 in Bolivian inpatients with suspected CNS infections to identify the most common aetiologies and to guide diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and public health strategies. We recruited 257 inpatients (20.2% HIV-positive), an infectious aetiology was confirmed in 49.8% of patients. The main aetiologies in HIV-positive patients were Cryptococcus spp. (41.7%) and M. tuberculosis (27.8%), in HIV-negative patients M. tuberculosis (26.1%) and S. pneumoniae (18.5%). The mortality rate was 42.1. Our study calls to reinforced public health policy, in particular regarding tuberculosis, rabies and HIV prevention and care. Zika virus (ZIKV) has recently emerged in the Americas and congenital abnormalities in fetus from women infected during pregnancy have been reported. First, we developed a cost-effective, automatized, sensitive and specific neutralization test based on cytopathic effect (CPE) to perform large seroprevalence studies. Second, we performed a seroprevalence study in 5 cities of Bolivia (Dec-2016 to April-2017) to estimate the ZIKV protective herd immunity, confirming the circulation in the tropical regions (Santa Cruz (21.5%) and Beni (39%)), with Santa Cruz still vulnerable to future outbreaks. Third, 74 pregnant women from Santa Cruz (Bolivia) were recruited (2018), 15 (20.3%) were positive by analyzing different molecular and serological methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bolivia has made significant progress in health status and equity in the last decade, due to the implementation of a series of health policies directed primarily at reducing maternal and infant mortality and controlling communicable diseases. In the light of the decentralization of Bolivias government in 1994, this report analyzes these policies, draws lessons from their implementation, discusses remaining challenges and provides recommendations. The report looks at the clarifying of targets and accountability; public health insurance and equity; the prevention of communicable and vector-borne diseases through the Epidemiological Shield; human resources and indigenous empowerment. The analysis suggests that three key issues need to be addressed: first, maintaining the focus on national priorities in the context of the new expanded maternal and child insurance; second, strengthening efforts to extend care to poor rural areas; and third, improving the effectiveness of the system in the context of the new management model.

Book excerpt: Bolivia has made significant progress in health status and equity in the last decade, due to the implementation of a series of health policies directed primarily at reducing maternal and infant mortality and controlling communicable diseases. These policies include the introduction of a focus on health outcomes in the context of decentralization, the implementation of public health insurance, the strengthening of vertically-financed public health programs and to a lesser extent, an increase in the size of the sector's workforce and greater participation of indigenous peoples. Health Sector Reform in Bolivia analyzes these policies, draws lessons from their implementation, discusses remaining challenges, and provides recommendations in the context of the country's latest policy developments. Findings show that while coverage has increased in almost all municipalities, significant equity gaps remain between the rich and the poor, the urban and rural, and the indigenous and non-indigenous. The analysis suggests that three key issues need to be addressed: - Maintaining the focus on national priorities in the context of the newly expanded maternal and child insurance; - Strengthening efforts to extend care to poor rural areas; and - Improving the effectiveness of the system in the context of the new management model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embodied Protests examines how Bolivia's hesitant courtship with globalization manifested in the visceral and emotional diseases that afflicted many Bolivian women. Drawing on case studies conducted among market- and working-class women in the provincial town of Punata, Maria Tapias examines how headaches and debilidad, so-called normal bouts of infant diarrhea, and the malaise oppressing whole communities were symptomatic of profound social suffering. She approaches the narratives of distress caused by poverty, domestic violence, and the failure of social networks as constituting the knowledge that shaped their understandings of well-being. At the crux of Tapias's definitive analysis is the idea that individual health perceptions, actions, and practices cannot be separated from local cultural narratives or from global and economic forces. Evocative and compassionate, Embodied Protests gives voice to the human costs of the ongoing neoliberal experiment.

Download or read book Chagas Disease written by Jaime Marcelo Altcheh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chagas disease is a potentially life threatening condition that was historically mainly endemic to Latin America. Over the last decade, however, the disease has spread to and is increasingly prevalent in other continents such as North America and Europe, with an estimated 7 million people infected worldwide. It is primarily transmitted by insect vectors that carry the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the disease agent. In areas where there is vector control and in non-endemic countries, it is mainly transmitted via congenital infection. Cardiac and gastrointestinal complications are common in untreated individuals. This book offers a comprehensive overview of Chagas disease, including its vectorial and congenital transmission, and molecular diagnosis, which is essential for screening, and developing and providing timely, effective anti-trypanosomal treatment. Written by experts working with infected patients on a daily basis, it discusses the pathogenesis of congenital, cardiac, gastrointestinal and oral Chagas disease, as well as its treatment and the pharmacological aspects of drug development in this area. Chapter "Chagas Disease Treatment Efficacy Biomarkers: Myths and Realities" is available open access under a via link.springer.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HIV epidemic in Bolivia has received little attention on a global scale in light of the country’s low HIV prevalence rate. However, by profiling the largest city in this land-locked Latin American country, Carina Heckert shows how global health-funded HIV care programs at times clash with local realities, which can have catastrophic effects for people living with HIV who must rely on global health resources to survive. These ethnographic insights, as a result, can be applied to AIDS programs across the globe. In Fault Lines of Care, Heckert provides a detailed examination of the effects of global health and governmental policy decisions on the everyday lives of people living with HIV in Santa Cruz. She focuses on the gendered dynamics that play a role in the development and implementation of HIV care programs and shows how decisions made from above impact what happens on the ground.
