Title: Risk of malaria for travelers with stable malaria transmission
Authors: MASSAD, E.; BEHRENS, R. H.; BURATTINI, M. N.; COUTINHO, F. A. B.
Abstract: A mathematical model was developed to estimate the risk of non-immune individual acquiring falciparum malaria when traveling to the Amazon region of Brazil. The risk of malaria infection to travelers was calculated as a function of duration of exposure and season of arrival. © 2012 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.

Title: Thermography in musculoskeletal diseases
Authors: OLIVEIRA, N. C. de; ALFIERI, F. M.; BATTISTELLA, L. R.
Abstract: The progression of the studies in the field of thermography has been contributing to the employment of this technique for the investigation of clinical conditions where pain is present. Examples include chronic musculoskeletal disorders, and the most prevalent ones are osteoarthritis and low back pain. Osteoarthritis is an important cause of pain and disability among patients. Chronic low back pain, in turn, affects 80% of the population at least in some period of life. As the prevalence of these diseases tends to grow, they constitute a public health issue worldwide. In this scenario, thermography arises as a method that can provide a better understanding of these diseases. Hence, this chapter discusses the distribution of body temperature in these diseases, as well as the pathophysiology regarding body temperature and its relationship with pain. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Title: Thermography in strokes
Authors: ALFIERI, F. M.; SANTOS, A. C. A. dos; BATTISTELLA, L. R.
Abstract: Among the consequences of stroke, sensory disorders can affect more than half of patients. One of the consequences is the change in body temperature between the hemibodies that the patients can perceive or neglect. Although this temperature difference has been reported as unpleasant, little is understood or studied. As autonomic disorders are present in patients with stroke, and as thermography can assess body temperature distribution, using this assessment in these patients is feasible. This chapter will address body temperature distribution in patients with and without stroke and the associations between sensorimotor recovery, sensitivity, perception, and body temperature in individuals with stroke sequelae. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Title: The management of neck mass during pregnancy and the postpartum period
Authors: YAYLACI, A.; ÖZTüRK, M.; SIH, T.
Abstract: A mass in the neck is a common clinical finding encountered in clinical practice. Determining the etiology of a neck mass is not straightforward, owing to developing from a wide array of processes. A neck mass may evolve as an isolated disease, a sign of a systemic disease, or be the only clinically apparent manifestation of malignancy in another part of the head and neck or elsewhere in the body. Therefore, timely diagnosis of a neck mass is paramount, because delayed diagnosis of malignancy worsens prognosis [1]. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
