The city’s vocation to tourism couldn’t be better explained than the description of a tourist published in The New York Times: “I traveled to Rio to experience urban beauty so intense that even the locals pause to applaud it. Rio may be the most voluptuous city in the world, with soft beaches, dramatic mountains, waterfalls, a rain forest, lagoon and orchids — planted by residents — peeking out of lush old trees lining the streets. Papayas and jackfruit drop from branches all over town, symbols of the city’s overabundant sweetness.” — Jodi Kantor (The New York Times – February, 15th 2013) 9 24th WCD, Rio de Janeiro | www.wcdrio2019.org SIGHTSEEING IN RIO g CORCOVADO – CHRIST THE REDEEMER SUGAR LOAF LAPA ARCHES AND SANTA TERESA DISTRICT One of the new 7 wonders of the world This natural symbol of Rio de Janeiro can be seen at the Located in the Largo da Lapa Square, the center of Rio’s turn entrance to Guanabara Bay.

All this as well as Carnival, the huge popular festival, and the New Year festivities, organized annually for up to two million people on Copacabana beach. The newly instituted state public safety policies, including the creation of the Police Pacifying Units (UPPs), in the city’s ‘favelas’, to strengthen the fight against drug trafficking, are giving very positive results, both in the freedom citizens now have to live a normal life in areas previously dominated by drug traffic, but also in the reduction of violence, proven already by the lower statistics for certain types of criminal activities. For example, taking the month of November 2010 as a basis, and comparing it to 2009, there was a fall of 16.66% in the s for homicides and 16.29% in vehicle robberies.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENDEMIC PEMPHIGUS FOLIACEUS Endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) is a disease that occurs in certain regions of Brazil with a total number of 15,000 people affected, being prevalent among Figure 7. First emming board for (Octuber 29, 1967). Left to right: Rubem David Azulay, Rui Miranda, Sebastião Sampaio, Tancredo Furtado and Clovis Bopp young people living in the rural areas of the country. In 1930s, the increase in the number of cases in São Paulo led the State government to create an exclusive hospital for these patients. Later, other hospitals were opened in Goiânia and Campo Grande. In 1970, there were an estimated 10.000 known cases of EPF in Brazil’s endemic States. In 1983, thanks to the foresight of Prof. Sebastião Sampaio, from São Paulo, and of Prof. Luiz Diaz, from the USA, the Brazil-USA Joint Group was created for the investigation of EPF, which produced dozens of scientific works and contributed to a great advance in the knowledge of the disease’s pathogenesis and in the development of diagnosis techniques. From the 50s to the 90s, the incidence of EPF decreased in São Paulo. Prof. Paulo R. Cunha reported in his Ph.D. thesis at São Paulo Universtiy on the last focus in the State, Iocated in the Franco da Rocha and Mairiporã districts. The epidemiological characteristics of the disease show strong evidence that EPF is influenced by environmental factors. Research efforts are set on determining the environmental etiological agent that produces the outbreak of that disease in Brazil.

THE NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BSD The commemoration of the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the BSD corresponded to its elected president at that time, Prof. Fernando Augusto de Almeida (Figure 8), outstanding specialist. Under his direction the Pro-Memory Project, was launched, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Paulo Cunha, whose purpose was to protect the history of Dermatology in Brazil through books, documentaries and images. The first completed work was the edition of the “History of Dermatology in Brazil”, a beautiful compilation of pictures and texts showing since the beginnings of the specialized field in the country.

It has more than 7.000 dermatologists and for the first time the Brazilian Board of Dermatology 2013-2014 (Figure 12) decided to apply to host the World Congress of Dermatology. We are an emerging country, regarding scientific quality and others areas. Showing that, we recently have hold the World Cup of Football with a big success, also the Olympic Games will be held in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, so we have a lot of experience and infrastructure in receiving people and big events. As a member society of ILDS, the BSD is aware of their responsibility to promote the World Dermatology at the highest level, aware of that our specialty involves a proper balance between Clinical Dermatology, Surgery and Cosmetic Dermatology, noting that Continuing Medical Education is the blood of Dermatology. Hoping for the support of delegates from different countries around the world and under the leadership of ILDS, the Brazilian Society could definitely hold in 2019 one of the largest and best Dermatology Congress of the ILDS History.
