Nutrients is planning a Special Issue focusing on beverages and ingestive behavior. This Special Issue will focus on research related to all aspects of beverage consumption and post-ingestive consequences. There continues to be much controversy surrounding the influence of beverage choice on health outcomes. Research investigating the impact of beverage choice has on human health and post-ingestive consequences continue to grow.

This title critically reviews old and new literature, help to create greater awareness of the disease in the US and helps in the evaluation of certain epidemiological and public health issues. During the first half of the 20th century, Chagas disease was assumed to be absent from the U.S. and considered an exotic disease, until the first two indigenous cases were discovered, almost simultaneously, in Texas, 1955. Since that time four indigenous cases have been documented in several places in the country. Although the disease is still considered uncommon in the US, this disease is not longer an exclusive Latin American illness. Physicians in the US are often unaware of the characteristics of the diseases, and are likely overlooking locally acquired cases. The influx of an estimated 300,000 Latin American immigrants with the Chagas parasite means that there is an urgent need for physicians and public health officials to become aware. Helps to create greater awareness of Chagas disease in the USA Helps to evaluate epidemiological and public health issues Facilitates accurate and necessary future public health interventions

Chagas disease causes severe socioeconomic impact and a high medical cost in Latin America. WHO and the World Bank consider Chagas disease as the fourth most transmittable disease to have a major impact on public health in Latin America: 120 million persons are potentially exposed, 16 to 18 million of whom are presently infected, causing 45,000 to 50,000 deaths per year. It has been calculated that approximately 2.4 million potential working years are lost because of incapacity and mortality due to the disease, for an annual cost estimated at 20 billion Euros. American Trypanosomiasis provides a comprehensive overview of Chagas disease and discusses the latest discoveries concerning the three elements that compose the transmission chain of the disease: - The host: human and mammalian reservoirs - The insect vectors: domestic and sylvatic vectors - The causative parasite: Trypanosoma cruzi - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field - Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts

Com as produções científicas contidas no livro “Saberes, metodologias e práticas de ensino na Geografia: desafios na contemporaneidade”, buscamos tecer reflexões desenvolvidas a partir da práxis sobre as múltiplas relações existentes no espaço escolar, permitindo aos leitores navegarem nas diferentes pesquisas desenvolvidas sob orientação junto aos atuais e futuros professores, permitindo-lhes no processo formativo com ênfase ao ensino da Geografia compreenderem que os espaços escolares também são contínuas construções coletivas compostas pelo corpo docente, estudantes, gestores, funcionários técnicos-administrativos-educacionais e responsáveis pela manutenção dos mesmos, onde todos estes, mesmo recebendo influência externa, como as problemáticas sociais tentam em um só ambiente, em meio a dificuldades, fortalecer o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, contando também com a colaboração da comunidade escolar.
