Low and middle income countries (LMICs) are facing an increase of the impact of mental health problems while confronted with limited resources and limited access to mental health care, known as the ‘me...ntal health gap’. One strategy to reduce the mental health gap would be to utilize the internet to provide more widely-distributed and low cost mental health care. We undertook this systematic review to investigate the effectiveness and efficacy of online interventions in LMICs.

As pandemias virais costumam representar sérias ameaças ao equilíbrio dos sistemas de saúde, ao impor-lhes demandas extraor-dinárias e sustentadas, que podem ultrapassar a capacidade de atendimento, no que diz respeito tanto aos insumos e às tecnologias disponíveis, quanto aos recurs...os humanos/profissionais capacitados. Trazem o enorme desafio de equilibrar igualdade entre as pessoas e equidade na distribuição de riscos e benefícios entre elas.
Diante desse cenário de casos cada vez mais frequentes de COVID-19 na
população, surge a premente necessidade de se avaliarem as melhores práticas para a otimização da utilização dos meios e recursos disponíveis. Dessa forma, considerando o iminente risco de indisponibilidade de leitos de terapia intensiva e respiradores para todos os indivíduos, acometidos ou não pela doença, torna-se fundamental estabelecer critérios clínicos, técnicos e éticos, para a melhor utilização dos mesmos, para se conseguir otimizar resultado e gerar o maior benefício possível.

The emergence of COVID-19 has drawn the attention of health researchers sharply back to the role that food systems can play in generating human disease burden. But emerging pandemic threats are just one dimension of the complex relationship between agriculture... and infectious disease, which is evolving rapidly, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) that are undergoing rapid food system transformation. This changing relationship is examined through four current disease issues.

Approximately 80% of the 463 million adults worldwide with diabetes live in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). A major obstacle to designing evidence-based policies to improve diabetes outcomes in LMICs is the scarce availability of nationally representative data on the current patterns... of treatment coverage. The objectives of this study were to estimate the proportion of adults with diabetes in LMICs who receive coverage of recommended pharmacological and non-pharmacological diabetes treatment; and to describe country-level and individual-level characteristics that are associated with treatment.
