1. Rapid increase in the risk of heat-related mortality

   NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, v.14, n.1, article ID 4894, 10p, 2023

   Heat-related mortality has been identified as one of the key climate extremes posing a risk to human health. Current research focuses largely on how heat mortality increases with mean global temperature rise, but it is unclear how much climate change will increase the frequency and severity of ex...

2. The World Organization of Family Doctors Air Health Train the Trainer Program: lessons learned and implications for planetary health education

   LANCET PLANETARY HEALTH, v.7, n.1, p.E55-E63, 2023

   The World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) Air Health Train the Trainer Program was a pilot educational programme that focused on a key aspect of planetary health: the intersection of air pollution, human health, and climate change. In this Viewpoint, we-the coordinators of the training pro...

3. Commentaries on Viewpoint: Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst: can we perform remote data collection in sport sciences?

   JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY, v.133, n.6, p.1433, 2022

   to the editor: Remote data collection (1) is of growing interest, especially in sport nutrition, whereby a specific diet and/or supplement is prescribed in conjunction with exercise training. Verifying adherence to prescribed interventions and estimation of dietary intake is paramount. Food diari...

4. Climate awareness, anxiety, and actions among youth: a qualitative study in a middle-income country

   BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY, v.45, n.3, p.258-267, 2023

   Objectives: The impact of climate change on mental health is well established, but few studies have examined the perspectives of young people, especially in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this qualitative study, we explored how Brazilian children and adolescents experience climate ch...

5. Life Cycle Assessment Applied to End-of-Life Scenarios of Sargassum spp. for Application in Civil Construction

   SUSTAINABILITY, v.15, n.7, article ID 6254, 23p, 2023

   Environmental risks and vulnerabilities in coastal regions include the massive deposits of brown algae of the genus Sargassum in regions such as the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and northern Brazil. Efforts have been made to turn this problem into an opportunity by seeking new uses for this biomass...

6. Heat exposure and hospitalisation for epileptic seizures: A nationwide case-crossover study in Brazil

   URBAN CLIMATE, v.49, article ID 101497, 11p, 2023

   Climate change is increasing human exposure to heat, especially in tropical regions such as Brazil where temperature reaches up to 40 degrees C in summer. However, the association between heat exposure and epileptic seizures has not been well demonstrated in Brazil, where lifetime preva-lence of ...

7. Modification of temperature-related human mortality by area-level socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in Latin American cities

   SOCIAL SCIENCE & MEDICINE, v.317, article ID 115526, 11p, 2023

   Background: In Latin America, where climate change and rapid urbanization converge, non-optimal ambient temperatures contribute to excess mortality. However, little is known about area-level characteristics that confer vulnerability to temperature-related mortality. Objectives: Explore city-level...
