This chapter offers some conjectures about the future of Brazil, especially in light of recent declarations that the Brazilian miracle has vanished once again. It attempts to reconcile Brazil's current political and economic situation with the more optimistic forecast this volume has set out so far, by using the institutional possibility frontiers (IPF) to interpret this paradox. The IPF illustrates this by showing the trade-offs existing in any country between disorder and dictatorship (authoritarianism) and reveals that a state that has more powers to control disorder also has more for dictatorial abuse. The chapter also returns to the analytical framework already expounded in the previous chapter, and finally predicts Brazil's likelihood for another critical transition to a society more akin to the current developed countries in the world.Less

Patients experiencing dyspnea are commonly referred for advance symptom management in palliative care. Dyspnea is a challenging symptom to manage and requires an understanding of both respiratory mechanics and disease process. This chapter will review strategies to identify, diagnose and prognosticate lung diseases that are associated with significant morbidity. In addition, strategies to effectively manage symptom burden will be reviewed in detail. Case examples are used to illustrate what a patient suffering from respiratory complications or end-stage lung disease could experience. By the end of this chapter, the reader will be able to effectively identify the complexity of prognostication in common end-stage lung diseases and provide ongoing management of patients with dyspnea.Less
