Computational methods applied to syphilis: where are we, and where are we going?
Albuquerque, Gabriela; Fernandes, Felipe; Barbalho, Ingridy M. P.; Barros, Daniele M. S.; Morais, Philippi S. G.; Morais, Antônio H. F.Syphilis is an infectious disease that can be diagnosed and treated cheaply. Despite being a curable condition, the syphilis rate is increasing worldwide. In this sense, computational methods can analyze data and assist managers in formulating new public policies for preventing and controlling sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Computational techniques can integrate knowledge from experiences and, through ...

Ferreira, Matheus A. C.; Carvalho, Dionísio D. A.; Cruz, Agnaldo S.; Coutinho, Karilany D.; Oliveira, Carlos A. P.; Morais, Antonio H. F.Purpose Primary Health Care (PHC) is the coordinator of health care in Brazil and needs to be strengthened in the diagnostic field to increase health care quality. Aiming to improve the diagnostic tools currently available in PHC, this work describes the process of development and validation of two point-of-care biomedical devices for screening patients with syphilis or different kinds of cancer. Methods The de...
