Introduction Impostor Phenomenon (IP) is the inability to internalize success and a tendency to attribute success to external causes. Social and institutional support are strategies to avoid the problem, but only partially successful. Resilience has been considered protective against mental health disorders in medical students. This study aims to investigate the association between IP and resilience in undergraduate medical students. Methods Using Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and a socio-demographic questionnaire, we conducted a cross-sectional, quantitative study with undergraduate medical students. Results The study included 425 pre-clerkship medical students of average age of 23.03 years. The prevalence of IP was 47.76% (CIPS ≥ 62 score, as recommended in prior literature.) and there were no differences among age, gender, current semester, religion. The majority student's CD-RISC score was 68.57 ± 14.66 and there was no statistical difference in resilience scale among age, gender, religion and training semester. “Other religions” group was associated with a higher resilience score when compared to “Catholic” or “Non-religious” students. We found an inverse correlation between the level of resilience by CD-RISC and the level of symptoms related to IP by CIPS (ρ = −0.409; p-value < .001). Conclusions Findings from this study suggest that higher levels of resilience are likely protective against IP among undergraduate medical students. Furthermore, the non-inclusion of medical internship students and the cross-sectional design of this study are restraining aspects noticed within the project, suggesting the need for further studies to adjust those limitations.
Objectives: This study was to carry out a prospective study on the patents reports of homeopathic formulations in the brazilian intellectual property bank, the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). Methods: This is a prospective research of patents referring to homeopathy products and medicines carried in May 2020. Searches were made for patents deposited with homeopathic purpose with the terms "homeopathy" and "homeopathic" from the first document until the last one deposited in 2019. We have found thirty-eight deposits with the search terms cited above, after exclusion of duplicates we selected twenty four. Results: Among the 24 patent reports selected, 15 (62.5%) were patents of invention. Among the classification of products, we highlight those of type A61K with 19 (79.1%). Twenty-four deposits were selected with the search terms "homeopathy" and "homeopathic". 20 (83.3 %) deposits with the term "homeopathic" and 4 (16.66%) to the term "homeopathy". Among the reports stand out patents of homeopathic formulations 14 (58.3%). There were a greater number of deposits in the years 2009 and 2013, both with 4 (16.6%) deposits. Conclusion: After analyzing patents on homeopathic products at the intellectual property bank in Brazil, it is concluded that most are related to new formulations. It can be seen that in Brazil the interest in relation to the protection of intellectual property in this topic is still small.

The application of ceramics as bone substitutes is mainly due to their bioactivity property, presenting an ability to adhere to adjacent bone tissues. In the last decades the number of researches with bioactive ceramics in bone grafts has grown. The objective of the present study was to perform a literature review of the application of calcium phosphate ceramics in the biomedical fields. For this present study, 21 articles indexed indatabases, mainly through in PubMed and LILACS were selected and published between the years 2004 to 2019. Calcium phosphates are examples of bioceramics and are part of a group of combinations that constitute the natural structure of bones humans and teeth. The main reasons for calcium phosphate biomaterials standing out for bone replacement are their facility of use and biocompatibility. Current research indicates that the association of hydroxyapatite (HA) with tricalcium phosphate β (TCP-β) promotes better results regarding bone neoformation, showing promising results in the biomedical and biomaterials area, in the replacement of bone tissues. Synthetic bioactive ceramics have several applications and efficacy in the biomedical fields. HA and TCP-β have several properties scientifically demonstrated, the association of both being the result of the search for new materials and their improvement.
