“…The frequency of SIB in people with IDD has not been studied in Brazil, and international studies suggest it is highly variable. [1][2][3] To assess the frequency of this behavior, patients from three institutions dedicated to the care of people with IDD were invited to participate in this study. Centro Nossa Senhora d'Assumpc¸ão (CENSA; n=107) is a specialized shelter for people with IDD.…”

“…Irregular treatment of hypertension has been a major problem in the former Soviet Union, 3 and an obvious contributor to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality. Overestimation of cardio-and cerebrovascular mortality rates on one hand and of its cause-effect relationship with high alcohol consumption on the other 1,4 has obviously led to many deaths from undiagnosed and untreated diseases, poisoning, etc., to be ascribed to alcohol abuse, thus shifting responsibility onto the patients.…”

“…The overall level of alcohol consumption in Russia has been estimated using the indirect method, on the basis of the incidence rate of alcohol-related psychoses. 4 This method may be adequate for countries with a stable quality of consumed alcohol, but not for Russia, where the quality of alcohol deteriorated after 1985 and especially during the 1990s, 1 having gradually improved since 2000 (personal observations). Psychosis-like conditions may be caused not only by ethanol but also by other substances present in low-quality alcoholic beverages and surrogates.…”

“…Similar situations occurred with the aboriginal population in Australia. The indigenous peoples in the Amazon region of Brazil were geographically isolated by the wild lush rainforest and by different cultural and social behaviors of the large number of linguistic population groups, tribes, and villages that spread over the territory until approximately the 1950s ( Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística 2005 ; Santos and Pereira 2005 ; Santos and Teixeira 2011 ). The continuous fusion of small groups and the posterior fission of larger groups were determinant factors that spread the virus over the region and maintained either high endemicity ( Ishak et al.…”

The description of the first human retrovirus, Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1), was soon associated with an aggressive lymphoma and a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease. Later, other associated clinical manifestations were described, affecting diverse target organs in the human body and showing the enormous burden carried by the virus and the associated diseases. The epidemiology of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 showed that they were largely distributed around the world, although it is possible to locate geographical areas with pockets of low and very high prevalence and incidence. Aboriginal Australians and indigenous peoples of Brazil are examples of the large spread of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, respectively. The epidemiological link of both situations is their occurrence among isolated, epidemiologically closed or semi-closed communities. The origin of the viruses in South America shows two different branches with distinct timing of entry. HTLV-1 made its probable entrance in a more recent route through the east coast of Brazil at the beginning of the slave trade from the African continent, starting in the 16th century and lasting for more than 350 years. HTLV-2 followed the ancient route of human migration from the Asian continent, crossing the Behring Strait and then splitting in South America as the population became separated by the Andes Mountains. By that time, HTLV-2c probably arose and became isolated among the indigenous populations in the Brazilian Amazon. The study of epidemiologically closed communities of indigenous populations in Brazil allowed tracing the most likely route of entry, the generation of a new molecular subtype (HTLV-2c), the elucidation of the vertical transmission of HTLV-2, the intrafamilial aggregation of cases and the escape and spread of the virus to other areas in Brazil and abroad. Despite the burden and impact of both viruses, they are maintained as silent infections among human populations because (i) health authorities in most South American countries in which national surveillance is poor have little interest in the disease, (ii) the information is commonly lost as indigenous groups do not have specific policies for HTLV and other sexually transmitted infections, and (iii) health access is not feasible or properly delivered.
