Resumo: Buscou-se analisar o efeito de alguns fitoterápicos na prevenção e tratamento de doenças cardiovasculares, em especial na hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Foi realizado uma revisão de literatura na biblioteca virtual LILACS, Scielo, Google Acadêmico, e Pubmed, referentes aos anos de 1990 a 2016. Foram encontrados e descritos 5 fitoterápicos. A fitoterapia é muito utilizada, porém muito sem fundos científicos, desta forma mais estudos são necessários para comprovação da eficiência dos mesmos.Palavras-chave: Fitoterapia, Prevenção De Doenças, Hipertensão. The Herbal use in Reducing and Tratament of HypertensionAbstract: To examine the effect of some herbal remedies in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially in hypertension. We performed a literature review in the virtual library LILACS, Scielo, Google Scholar and Pubmed for the years 1990 to 2016. Results and Discussion: found and described 5 herbal medicines. The herbal medicine is widely used but many without scientific backgrounds, thus more studies are needed to prove the efficiency. Devido à alta prevalência de hipertensão e doenças cardíacas, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), tem estimulado o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas que priorizam a utilização de plantas medicinais no tratamento de doenças, e enfatiza a necessidade de novas pesquisas feitas com plantas e produtos naturais (MARMITT et al., 2016).
The present work aimed to study the relation between weight loss (WL) and clinicalpathologic factors in patients under chemotherapy treatment. It was a longitudinal observational study performed with patients assisted in an oncological ambulatory. The sample was composed of 402 patients, with an average age of 58.4 ± 13.6 years, of which 56.5% were women, and 51.7% were elderly. Regarding tumor localization, 12.9% were found in the head and neck, 22.6% in the breast, 10.2% in the lungs, 29.4% in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), and 24.9% in other body parts. A gradual fall of nutritional state in relation to BMI was observed, and the patients were advancing to malnutrition. When correlating the severe and non-severe weight loss (WL) with anthropometric data, a significant difference was obtained (p < 0.05). The overweight and obese patients had a greater severe WL in relation to the eutrophic and low weight group (p < 0.05). However, 67.3% of patients presented WL and a following nutritional state alteration, with the GI tract cancer presenting a significant difference, 37.4% (p < 0.05), in addition to severe WL (p < 0.000). Patients diagnosed with cancer, especially in the GI tract, and treated with chemotherapy, have higher chances of WL, which triggers a reduction of survival rate, with obesity and age being reliable predictors of a consequent severe WL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
