Análise da utilização das informações do Sistema de Informação de Atenção Básica (SIAB): uma revisão integrativa

This paper aimed to identify instances of the use of data from the Primary Health Care Information System in the existing scientific literature. This study is an Integrative Literature Review and the search for articles was performed in May, 2013 in the Virtual Healthcare Library (MedLine, Lilacs and SciELO), considering publications from 2008 to 2012. The search for articles initially located 164 texts, though after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this review concentrated on 12 articles. The main results showed that there are fragilities like the use of the form just for the record and the insufficient training of the teams. However, the positive aspect is that the Primary Health Care Information System is the leading source of health information and statistics, and that its information can and must be used for health planning activities. Thus, it is an information system that assists municipal management and the actions in health of its teams, alerting the community to the need for care of individual health.

The importance of waste from healthcare services for teachers, students and graduates of the healthcare sector

This study aimed to explore the perception healthcare sector teachers, students and graduates from two institutions of higher learning in Rio Grande do Sul, on the generation of waste from healthcare services. It used a qualitative research approach, performed with 13 teachers, 18 students and 12 healthcare professionals, who were collected through a focus group. The main results showed there is a perception toward the importance of proper segregation and disposal of Healthcare Service Waste, also there is a lack of concern for the reduction of these wastes. Therefore, the issue requires a broader understanding of the environment, with a view of planetary sustainability, exposing needs to provide the healthcare professionals with knowledge and awareness of the importance of handling these types of waste.

Avaliação dos efeitos do ultrassom terapêutico sobre a cafeína e verificação da liberação em sistema de difusão vertical

Currently, the physiotherapists use the phonoforesis, which consists in the therapeutical ultrasound (US) used to increase the drug molecules migration through the skin, however, the US can shows oxidative effects, and is used, for example, in chemical reactions acceleration. The present study aimed to perform the electrochemical evaluation and the diffusion investigation of gel/caffeine 5% solutions submitted to therapeutical US (continuous mode, 1.0 W cm-2 and 1 MHz). It this study, it has been verified diffusion increase and a possible oxidation of the caffeine molecules, when subjected to therapeutical US.

Plantas Medicinais da RENISUS Com Potencial Anti-inflamatório: Revisão Sistemática Em Três Bases de Dados Científicas

The inflammation is a response to acute tissue injury responsible for producing characteristic symptoms that lead to changes in tissue homeostasis and blood flow, as a defense mechanism of the immune system. However, chronic inflammation is a cause of many diseases like cancer, arteriosclerosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Most anti-inflammatory drugs exert significant side effects that may limit their use. An alternative to such drugs are the medicinal plants, which provide an important approach for the identification of bioactive compounds. This systematic review aimed to quantify the clinical studies that relate therapeutic potential for inflammatory diseases from the study of plants RENISUS, published between 2010 and February 2013 in three scientific databases (SciELO, Science Direct and Springer). Of the 21 357 articles found in databases, analysis of articles was originally made from the title of journal reading, the chosen articles were subsequently assessed for Abstract. Finally, Articles chosen at this stage, the full text was analyzed. This analysis resulted in the selection of 44 studies of interest, which dealt with 20 different plants RENISUS.

Association study of C936T polymorphism of the VEGF gene and the C242T polymorphism of the p22phox gene with diabetes mellitus type 2 and distal diabetic polyneuropathy.

Even with long‑term glycemic control, diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) remains the predominant cause of diabetic neuropathy. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C936T of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene and the SNP C242T of the p22phox (CYBA) gene have been investigated in relation to DM2 and its complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between these two SNPs and DM2, and also between the SNPs and the signs and symptoms of diabetic distal polyneuropathy. The DM2 group consisted of 98 individuals and the control group consisted of 104 individuals. The results demonstrated that there was no association between the different genotypes or alleles and increased risk of the disease (P>0.05). With SNP C242T, a significant association with body mass index between the CTxTT genotypes (P=0.043) was identified; and the greatest body mass indexes were among individuals with the TT genotype. An association between the degree of neuropathic symptoms and genotypic/allelic distribution of these polymorphisms was not observed. In conclusion, the investigated polymorphisms are not correlated with the risk of developing DM2.

ANÁLISE SISTEMÁTICA DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA DO ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSCOE APÓS A CRIAÇÃO DA RELAÇÃO NACIONAL DE PLANTAS MEDICINAIS DE INTERESSE AO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE

Introduction: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is a native plant from Asia that has been used as a spice and medicinal compound for thousands of years. Many of its compounds have been isolated, identified, and studied due to their pharmacological effects. Objectives: Quantify clinical trials reporting some form of therapeutic action from the use of Z. officinale plant, which are listed on the National Medicinal Plants of Interest to the Unified Health System published between 2010 and 2013 in three scientific databases (SciELO, Science Direct and Springer). Material and Methods: We searched databases using the key search term “Zingiber officinale Roscoe.” A total of 757 articles were retrieved. We selected the studies dealing specifically with the term “Zingiber officinale ” or related terms such as “ginger,” “gingerol,” “gingerols,” “ginger,” and “ginger”. Reading the Abstract, we selected those that reported some kind of therapeutic treatment. In the last phase, the selected articles were fully read to search those proving therapeutic potentials from the study of Z. offic inale. Results: Thirty articles were included in this review. Six studies reported the antioxidant activity representing the most cited therapy. Conclusion: With the results, it is expected to be possible to guide further research on the species in question, including other diseases not yet explored.

Nutritional supplementation in boars with low production of semen doses

The boar in semen collection routine has a different nutritional demand in comparison to swine in weight gain. The maintenance of spermatogenesis needs a higher energy and protein intake, as well macro and micro elements have limiting effects. Despite all nutritional supplementation products for boars, there are few data available about its effects on seminal parameters of boars with low productivity of doses for artificial insemination. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of a nutritional supplementation on sperm quality of boars with low productivity of doses. Twenty eight breeding Landrace boars with average age of 25.28 (4.04) years and a mean weight of 300 kg were used. Animals were fed with 500g/day of a commercial nutritional supplementation, together with ration. A total of 199 ejaculates were analyzed in pre-supplementation period, and 215 ejaculates were accessed after 1 month of supplementation. The seminal parameters evaluated were: volume, sperm concentration, motility, vigor and agglutination. t-test was used to compare the means in pre and post-supplementation periods. It was observed a significant increase in ejaculate volume (p = 0.04), concentration (p = 0.03), agglutination (p = 0.002) and motility (p = 0.007). Vigor had no significant variation (p = 0.38). The average doses produced before supplementation was 23.58 (5.50), rising to 28.40 (6.27) after supplementation, showing the increased profitability with the inclusion of nutritional supplements in the diet.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the healing potential of medicinal plants belonging to the Brazilian National List of Medicinal Plants of Interest to the Unified Health System (RENISUS). METHOD PubMed and ScienceDirect databases were searched for relevant articles, regardless of the language, from 2010 to June 2016. Two reviewers independently assessed study eligibility. Articles were included if they presented evidence of healing potential of medicinal plants. Only those available as full and open access texts were considered. RESULTS A total of 1381 articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 156 studies were considered eligible and were reviewed as full text. Following full analysis, 64 studies were included in this review. The studies covered 27 of the 71 plants belonging to RENISUS, nine of which are native to Brazil. In addition, two species are currently available in the Brazilian public health system as herbal medicine. CONCLUSION This review may encourage and contribute to the appropriate use of medicinal plants in the public health system in Brazil.

Importance of the review on floristic and phytosociological studies of the arboreal stratum of the seasonal deciduous forest of the Serra Geral slope, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, to support proposals for sustainable management

The Seasonal Deciduous Forest (FED) is a deciduous and human-caused impacted vegetation, occurring at the Upper Rio Uruguay basin and at the southern slope of Serra Geral plateau, Rio Grande do Sul state. The aim of this study is to compile results of tree layer floristics and phytosociological surveys on FED of Serra Geral escarpment with the intention of supporting future interventions for the recovery of degraded areas and sustainable management projects. To obtain the data, was held a narrative review from 62 selected works from the digital libraries of CAPES, Scielo and Google Scholar. For quantitative variables, was calculated the median, standard deviation and amplitude. The hodgepodge of methods used in the surveys conducts to difficulties in comparing data. The median species richness is 54 and the Shannon-Wiener diversity index median is 3.10 nats. The analyzed surveys show very important information to define methods and planning for conservation, degraded area recovery and sustainable use of forest resources.
