O papel da opinião pública na construção das decisões judiciais tem sido tema circular na teoria geral do direito. Há um ponto cego na concepção desse problema (ou falso problema), que consiste na necessária distinção que deve ser fixada entre opinião pública e opinião publicada. Do mesmo modo que o ponto cego se encontra na região da retina desprovida de receptores de luz, não se consegue iluminar, de modo satisfatório, uma apreensão realista e operacional do que seja a opinião pública. Quem a determina? Quem a identifica? Quem reconhece sua validade? Pouco conhecido no Brasil, porque confundido com tradição jurídica supostamente refratária à nossa, o realismo jurí...
A obra de Rafael Bitencourt Carvalhaes, que ora prefacio, realiza uma reflexão compreensiva, abrangente e ambiciosa sobre o papel do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Originária de uma tese de doutorado defendida na Universidade Federal Fluminense, cuja excelência e liderança acadêmica são incontestáveis no cenário nacional, a obra realiza a crítica necessária mas não se furta a pontar caminhos e enxergar as potencialidades da jurisdição constitucional no Brasil, defendendo parâmetros para a construção da legitimidade política e para a desafiadora tarefa de resiliência constitucional, que pauta um dos mais importantes desafios para o Supremo Tribunal Federal. (Thomas Bustamante, Professor da Faculdade de Direito da UFMG)
Discover how the application of novel multidisciplinary, integrative approaches and technologies are dramatically changing our understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and their treatments. Each article presents the state of the science, with a strong emphasis on new and emerging medical applications. The Encyclopedia of Infectious Diseases is organized into five parts. The first part examines current threats such as AIDS, malaria, SARS, and influenza. The second part addresses the evolution of pathogens and the relationship between human genetic diversity and the spread of infectious diseases. The next two parts highlight the most promising uses of molecular identification, ...

Diabetes has become a worldwide health problem, the global estimated prevalence approaches ten percent and the burden of this disease in terms of morbidity and mortality is unprecedented. The advances acquired through the knowledge of the mechanisms of the disease and the variety of therapeutic approaches contrast with the inability of private and public health systems in underdeveloped and even developed countries to achieve the goals of treatment. This paradox has been described in many sources: the surge of scientific advances contrast with an unprecedented amount of human suffering. Thus, a patient centered and an evidence based approach with the capacity to produce measurable clinical a...
