Uso de plantas medicinais em comunidades religiosas no Brasil: conhecimento tradicional & riscos potenciais

O Brasil caracteriza-se pela pluralidade cultural e religiosa. Muitas religi��es, como a Umbanda, o Candomblé e o Espiritismo, utilizam plantas em rituais ou com o intuito de combater doen��as. No combate das doen��as, as plantas medicinais s��o utilizadas com base no conhecimento tradicional, muitas vezes distorcido pela sociedade moderna. Portanto, h�� um risco inerente nesta pr��tica, pois o efeito das plantas medicinais est�� relacionado �� presen��a de subst��ncias qu��micas, geralmente metab��litos secund��rios, as quais exercem a����o farmacol��gica de forma an��loga aos f��rmacos sint��ticos, bem como podem produzir rea����es adversas ou intoxica����o. Al��m disso, o uso adequado das plantas medicinais envolve conhecimento sobre seu cultivo, colheita/coleta, modo de preparo, posologia e indica����o. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revis��o bibliogr��fica sobre o uso de plantas medicinais por comunidades religiosas e avaliar o risco de sua utiliza����o com base em evid��ncias cient��ficas. Concluiu-se no trabalho que a maioria das plantas utilizadas est�� de acordo, totalmente, ou em parte com as indica����es de uso na medicina popular ou respaldadas por estudos cient��ficos. Por��m, algumas das plantas medicinais utilizadas apresentam alta toxicidade e a indica����o de uso de algumas outras, n��o condiz com estudos cient��ficos ou uso na medicina popular

O casamento entre o ensino religioso e as teses p��s-modernas

This paper aims to base the thesis that the varied currents of the post-modern thought, in so far as have recourse to relativism to a greater or lesser degree, contribute to the legitimation of the religious education in public schools and, in a broader aspect, the religion in the public spaces. The methodological resource used to demonstrate the link between post-modern thought and religious education is the analysis at the historical and dialectical materialism perspective of publications produced to increase teachers on this discipline that is, in compliance with the Constitution, optional for students and mandatory for public elementary schools. The subject of this analysis is the learning content and has as prime concern to highlight the discourse of legitimation recurrent in authors when it is explicit in itself and explicit when it does not. The ���religious education in public schools��� as object of study allows us to understand the relationship between the post-modern thought, with its hegemony space within the human sciences and contextualized in the neoliberal economic environment, and the ���learning to learn��� pedagogies currently hegemonic in the educational landscape. We intend to contribute to the legal debate on laity, the philosophical debate on post-modernism and especially to the debate on the pedagogical theories in the educational fundaments.

Tempo de trânsito gastrointestinal de diferentes frutos e taxa de germina����o de Morus nigra p��s passagem pelo trato em Sabi��s-barranco (Turdus leucomelas)

Seed dispersal is a key process in the life cycle of plant species and may determine the dynamics of their populations. The passage of the fruit from the gastrointestinal tract brings effects on energy and nutritional rewards for the bird. The retention time of the seeds is an essential factor for the dispersion, affecting the dispersal distance. Some factors determine it, as the size of the bird, degree of frugivory, chemical composition of the fruit, the number and size of seeds. The study sought to characterize the Morus nigra seed retention time in three species of thrushes and compare them with other species of birds and plants. The blackberry, exotic species with socio-economic importance in Brazil, produces aggregate fruit having up to 60 seeds. Have been kept in captivity individuals leucomelas Turdus rufiventris thrush, thrush and amaurochalinus, native and omnivorous species, important dispersers in degraded areas, inhabiting the urban and the natural environment. In 274 samples of feces was recorded about 500 mulberry seeds. The first record of seeds was in 15 minutes (n = 2) and the last to 115 minutes (n = 4) after eating the fruit. The average time of gastrointestinal transit of seed for the three species was 52 minutes and 80% were defecated to 65 minutes post ingestion. Taking into consideration the type of fruit and the species of bird, there is great variation in the retention time when compared to other species of birds, being in general slower. That way, can be increase the degree of dispersion of the seed to more distant areas of the mother plant, increasing the chances of survival of seedlings, according to the hypothesis Janzen and Connell. The Turdus It showed efficient dispersers Morus nigra seeds, and inhabits natural and urbanized environment, the possibility of exchange of these seeds between environments by the action of thrushes

Geografia da mortalidade no trânsito no Brasil

In road safety studies that involve accidents comparisons in distinct geographical spaces or in different periods of time in the same geographical space, the index which lists the number of traffic fatalities with the distance traveled by road transport vehicles is considered more appropriate than the rates related to the population or the fleet. In this paper, the results of an original research are presented, in which the values of the rate of traffic deaths per billion kilometers traveled (IMBQ) by the motor vehicle fleet in Brazil and in each state of the country were estimated. The evaluation was performed based on the official number of fatalities provided by the Ministry of Health and on the amount of fuel sold informed by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels. In 2009, Brazil presented an index of 52.84 fatalities per billion kilometers, which reveals an extremely alarming situation considering that this value is from 7 to 12 times higher than the one for more developed countries. An important correlation between the death index in the states and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was observed; in general, the less economically developed is the state, it means, lowest GDP, higher is the IMBQ.

Disfun����o mioc��rdica e altera����es no trânsito de c��lcio intracelular em ratos obesos

Abstract Background: Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to cardiac dysfunction in obesity models, such as alterations in calcium (Ca2+) handling proteins and ��-adrenergic receptors. Nevertheless, the role of these factors in the development of myocardial dysfunction induced by obesity is still not clear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether obesity induced by hypercaloric diets results in cardiac dysfunction. Furthermore, it was evaluated whether this functional abnormality in obese rats is related to abnormal Ca2+ handling and the ��-adrenoceptor system. Methods: Male 30-day-old Wistar rats were fed with standard food (C) and a cycle of five hypercaloric diets (Ob) for 15 weeks. Obesity was defined as increases in body fat percentage in rats. Cardiac function was evaluated by isolated analysis of the left ventricle papillary muscle under basal conditions and after inotropic and lusitropic maneuvers. Results: Compared with the control group, the obese rats had increased body fat and glucose intolerance. The muscles of obese rats developed similar baseline data, but the myocardial responsiveness to post-rest contraction stimulus and increased extracellular Ca2+ were compromised. There were no changes in cardiac function between groups after ��-adrenergic stimulation. Conclusion: Obesity promotes cardiac dysfunction related to changes in intracellular Ca2+ handling. This functional damage is probably caused by reduced cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2) activation via Ca2+ calmodulin kinase. (Arq Bras Cardiol 2011; 97(3) : 232-240).

Risco de les��es em motociclistas nas ocorr��ncias de trânsito

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar entre os motociclistas envolvidos em ocorr��ncias de trânsito fatores associados ao risco de les��es. No ano de 2004, foram identificados, em Maring��-PR, um total de 2.362 motociclistas envolvidos em ocorr��ncias de trânsito com registro nos boletins da Pol��cia Militar. Para identificar os fatores associados �� presen��a de les��o, foi utilizada a an��lise multivariada. Uma probabilidade, significantemente mais elevada de motociclistas se ferirem, foi observada entre aqueles envolvidos em colis��o (Odds Ratio = 11,19) e quedas (Odds Ratio = 3,81); para o sexo feminino, a raz��o de chance estimada foi em torno de 4, e aqueles que estiveram envolvidos em ocorr��ncias com at�� dois ve��culos, mostraram 2,63 vezes mais chances de apresentar les��es que os demais. Mulheres, envolvidas em ocorr��ncias com motocicleta do tipo quedas e colis��es com at�� dois ve��culos destacaram-se como grupo de risco para apresentar les��es.

Fatores associados ao ��bito de motociclistas nas ocorr��ncias de trânsito

Para identificar fatores associados ao ��bito em motociclistas envolvidos em ocorr��ncias de trânsito, em Maring��-PR, foi realizado estudo retrospectivo incluindo os motociclistas envolvidos em acidentes no ano de 2004. As fontes de dados foram os registros da Pol��cia Militar, do SIATE e do Instituto M��dico Legal. Foram realizadas an��lises bivariadas e regress��o log��stica bin��ria. Identificaram-se 2.362 motociclistas nos Boletins de Ocorr��ncia e, destes, 1.743 tinham registros nos Relat��rios de Atendimento do Socorrista. As v��timas fatais diferiram das demais quanto �� faixa et��ria, ao local de resid��ncia, ao tempo de habilita����o e as suas condi����es fisiol��gicas na cena da ocorr��ncia. No modelo final permaneceram as seguintes vari��veis: Escala de Coma de Glasgow (ECGl), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), pulso e satura����o de O2 no sangue. As condi����es fisiol��gicas das v��timas na cena do acidente se destacaram no modelo final e a ECGl superou o RTS na associa����o com ��bito.
