- Cancer Care Challenges for the LGBT Population in Brazil(2022) CRENITTE, M. R. F.; JUNIOR, A. L.; MELO, L. R. de; AVELINO-SILVA, T. J.Some improvements for the LGBT community have taken place in Brazil, such as the strengthening of progressive social movements and even the National Policy of Integral Healthcare for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transsexuals, and Travestis (Travesti: Transfeminine person who identifies with a travesti gender identity, that has been marginalized throughout history. It is a predominantly Brazilian identity construction but is also found in other Latin American and European countries. As there is no consensus on the best translation of the term and its translation could sound pejorative, the authors of this chapter chose to keep its nomenclature in Portuguese. Travesti is not a pejorative term, and they want to be recognized as such by societys), in 2011. From there, it has been possible to consider public policies for caring for non-transmissible chronic diseases, such as cancer, and in barriers and inequalities in the access to the public healthcare system in the country. However, national healthcare has suffered ongoing budgetary cuts, stimulated by neoliberal policies, such as the constitutional amendment in 2016 that “froze” public investments for 20 years. Furthermore, our country has been the subject of worldwide scrutiny in view of escalating far-right conservative bids since the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018. The LGBT population already suffers with a lack of national data justifying the implementation of inclusive public policies, but in this context, it fears and dares to resist for the rights already fought for in the past. Thus, this chapter concerns the specificities of the Brazilian healthcare system and how the particulars that LGBT people face may interfere in the risk and follow-up of neoplasms. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
- Tackling Urbanicity and Pollution in Mental Health Prevention Strategies(2022) VENTRIGLIO, A.; CASTALDELLI-MAIA, J. M.; TORALES, J.; BERARDIS, D. De; BHUGRA, D.Globalization in the last decades has led to an increase of exchanges through the globe and an expansion of global markets as well as an increase of levels of urbanization through the continents. In particular, urbanization includes environmental, social, and economic changes and factors that may affect the mental health of the general population. In fact, emerging evidence reports higher rates of mental disorders in the urban settings than in rural areas, and social disparities and insecurity may impact on the mental health of the weaker groups of society. Also, the lack of contact with nature in the city and higher levels of pollution are associated with a remarkable rate of psychological distress. Pollution, in particular, is tightly related to the level of industrialization and employment of technology. It has been demonstrated that environmental pollutants (e.g., air pollutants, noise, ionizing radiations, etc.) may impact directly or indirectly on mental health: there may be a direct biological consequence of pollution on the human central nervous system as well as a range of psychological stress generated by the lasting exposure to pollutant agents. This chapter reports emerging evidence regarding the impact of urbanicity and pollution on public mental health and suggests further research and action in order to develop strategies of prevention of mental illness due to the burden of global urbanization. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

- Introduction to part VI: Health promotion as a transformational practice(2022) GERMANI, A. C. C. G.How does health promotion education advance in the twenty-first century?

- Epilepsy and Seizures(2019) PAGURA, J. R.; ALESSI, R.Epilepsy is a brain disorder which has caused stigma for long, especially in group activities. In the last decade, however, a number of studies have shown that epilepsy patients must be socially integrated. They recommend sports practice as greatly beneficial, not only for its social integration but also for its help in crisis management. Through the development of new medications, which enhanced crisis management significantly, the participation of epilepsy patients in sports practice has increased. However, it is clear that some sports, especially with strong physical contact, must be avoided. And even sports with possible contacts, though allowed, must follow monitoring standards with specialists following the recommended protocols, so that they can practice sports more safely. Also, it should be considered that seizures are nonspecific manifestations of pre-existing brain damage and they can occur with metabolic and traumatic changes, which does not mean a state of epileptic disease. For high-performance sports, control through specific medications is a safety factor and can be widely used, since the antiepileptic drugs are not included in the forbidden list by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency). © ISAKOS 2019.
- The neuroscience of depression: Mechanisms and treatments(2021) WANG, Y. P.; GORENSTEIN, C.; Sá JUNIOR, A. R. deThe present chapter summarizes aspects of depression among college students, who experience higher rates of depression than those found in general population. Depression in students is often associated with some risk behaviors, such as suicidal thoughts and attempts, non-suicidal self-injury, and substance abuse. Although universal screening of depression is recommended among students, resources of mental health should be available before implementing a screening program. Early identification and management may improve symptoms of depression, increase academic performance, and prevent college dropout. Counseling, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacotherapy are treatment options for depression in college campus. Many students with depression prefer managing their problems by themselves, delaying the help-seeking and aggravating the severity of depression. The effectiveness of interventions is associated with student’s suboptimal adherence and response rate to treatment. Therefore, access to health care should be improved, in terms of the adequacy and quality of the service offered to students with depression. © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
