Taxa Atual de Mortalidade por Doenças Cardiovasculares no Estado do Rio de Janeiro: Mais do que Apenas um Sonho no Rio

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main causes of death in women and men in Brazil. Since 1980, there has been a significant reduction in mortality from these diseases. From 1980 to 2012, the smallest reduction was 31% for ischemic heart diseases (IHD) in men, and the largest reduction was 54% for cerebrovascular diseases (CBVD) in women. 1 Despite an important reduction in mortality due to IHD, the reduction in mortality due to CBVD was the one that most contributed to the total reduction in mortality due to CVD. However, comparative analyses of the periods from 1980 to 2006 with those from 2007 to 2012 showed a greater percentage reduction in mortality from CVD, IHD, and CBVD in the period from 1980 to 2006. In the period from 2007 to 2012, there was a significant, but less intense, reduction in mortality from CVD and CBVD when compared to the previous period, while mortality from IHD remained unchanged in women and men. The same phenomenon was observed in the USA and in some European countries for this period, and this unfavorable trend has been associated with the increase in the incidence of obesity and diabetes mellitus and with the inadequate control of risk factors. [2][3][4] The control of the main risk factors for CVD reduces CVD mortality by at least 50%, and the highlight in this process is primary prevention by controlling the main risk factors, namely hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. 5,6 Short EditorialMansur CVD death rate in Rio de Janeiro State

Mortalidade por doenças do aparelho circulatório no estado de Pernambuco: 2010 a 2019

“…Em relação ao aumento da mortalidade, o Instituto de Métricas e Avaliação de Saúde e o estudo realizado por Mansur indicam a influência do crescimento do envelhecimento brasileiro e do controle inadequado dos fatores de risco 14 . Por meio do controle dos fatores de risco, é possível a redução da mortalidade, em, pelo menos, 50%, deste grupo de doenças [13][14][15] .…”

Por meio do controle dos fatores de risco, é possível a redução da mortalidade, em, pelo menos, 50%, deste grupo de doenças [13][14][15] . A literatura aponta que uma alimentação saudável, com consumo adequado de frutas, legumes e verduras, associada à prática regular de atividade física, pode contribuir para a diminuição da incidência das doenças do aparelho circulatório [16][17] .…”

Exploring the potential use of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) and prickly pear (Opuntia ficus indica L.) peels as sources of cosmaceutical sunscreen agent for their antioxidant and photoprotective properties

“…The values of Punica granatum L. and Opuntia ficus indica L. fruits peels for the Sun Protective Factor (SPF) were conducted in vitro, by method of Mansur et al 18 . The stock solution (1 mg/ml) of dried extract, was prepared and then different concentrations were made using distilled water.…”

“…It provides an idea that how much long an individual can stay without getting burn from sunrays while staying in the sunshine. Following standard procedures reported by Mansur et al 18 , SPF was assessed. The absorbance and SPF values for Punica granatum L and Opuntia ficus indica L. peels extracts and commercial sunscreen calculated by UV-Spectrophotometrically are indicated in Table 2.…”

Chemical Screening and Antioxidant Activity of Ethyl Acetate Fraction and Residue from Lansium domesticum Ethanolic Extract

“…The ethyl acetate fraction and residue were dissolved in ethanol at 250 µg/mL concentration and scanned across the 290 to 320 nm range at 5 nm intervals. Screening of sun protection activity was measured by determination in vitro of SPF, based on the equation proposed by Mansur et al 13 The absorbance sample was measured three times and used for SPF calculation, as shown in Equation 1.…”
