What the literature leaves open

  • The gap is the lack of studies on the application of technological tools in patient safety. The scarcity of studies hinders a more precise analysis, especially in the area of patient safety.

    Ferramentas tecnológicas em saúde e segurança do paciente · 2026 · DOI

  • The review is limited to studies published between 2016 and 2026. The review only includes studies available in full in Portuguese and English. The review excludes duplicate studies, editorials, dissertations, theses, and publications not directly related to the investigated theme.

    REEMERGÊNCIA DE DOENÇAS PREVIAMENTE CONTROLADAS: FRAGILIDADES NOS SISTEMAS DE VIGILÂNCIA SANITÁRIA · 2026 · DOI

  • Future research should focus on the development of innovative methodologies in epidemiological surveillance. Future research should also investigate the impact of environmental factors on the reemergence of diseases. Future research should aim to develop more effective health surveillance systems.

  • There is a need for further investigations with different designs to establish reliable evidence to support health decision-making. The existing literature on the effects of metabolic and bariatric surgery on cardiovascular responses is limited.

    RESPOSTAS CARDIOVASCULARES APÓS CIRURGIA METABÓLICA E BARIÁTRICA: UMA REVISÃO NARRATIVA · 2026 · DOI

  • The study identifies a gap in the literature, as most studies have focused on the effect of chronological age on physical fitness, without considering biological maturation. The study highlights the importance of considering biological maturation in the evaluation of young athletes.

    EFEITO DA IDADE CRONOLÓGICA E DA MATURAÇÃO BIOLÓGICA SOBRE A COMPOSIÇÃO CORPORAL E DESEMPENHO MOTOR EM ESPORTISTAS MOÇAMBICANOS · 2026 · DOI

  • The gap is related to limitations in structural and professional training.

    INDICADORES DE DESEMPENHO COMO FERRAMENTA DE GESTÃO HOSPITALAR NO SUS · 2026 · DOI
