The Ketogenic Diet (KD) is a modality of treatment used since the 1920s as a treatment for intractable epilepsy. It has been proposed as a dietary treatment that would produce similar benefits to fasting, which is already recorded in the Hippocratic collection. The KD has a high fat content (90%) and low protein and carbohydrate. Evidence shows that KD and its variants are a good alternative for non-surgical pharmacoresistant patients with epilepsy of any age, taking into account that the type of diet should be designed individually and that less-restrictive and more-palatable diets are usually better options for adults and adolescents. This review discusses the KD, including the possible mechanisms of action, applicability, side effects, and evidence for its efficacy, and for the more-palatable diets such as the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD) and the Low Glycemic Index Diet (LGID) in children and adults.

Objetivo: analisar o conhecimento de universitários sobre os compromissos, profissionais e cidadãos, diante da violência doméstica contra a mulher. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa realizada nas casas do estudante da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, em Rio Grande/RS, no ano de 2019. Foram convidados, aleatoriamente, dois homens e duas mulheres de cada casa, totalizando 28 participantes. Todos responderam a entrevistas semiestruturadas e o corpus foi analisado segundo a Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: enquanto alguns universitários não aproximavam a temática com seus cursos de graduação, outros a reconheciam como importante tema de debate e compromisso com a formação profissional. Como cidadãos, mencionaram o dever de debater o assunto entre amigos, denunciar casos de violência, oferecer apoio à mulher; embora apresentassem dúvidas sobre essa conduta. Conclusão: o reconhecimento dos compromissos frente à violência doméstica contra a mulher é uma das estratégias de enfrentamento.
