Utilização de ácido valproico para redução da resistência do sorafenibe no tratamento de pacientes com hepatocarcinoma refratário
Resumo:
Introduction: Hepatocarcinoma is the most common type of liver tumor, with sorafenib, the first approved option approved by the United Stated Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for advanced disease. However, resistance to sorafenib has recently been reported, compromising its beneficial clinical results. Recent studies have shown that valproic acid could increase sorafenib antitumor activity in resistant hepatocarcinoma cells by modulating signaling pathways. The work aims to present the signaling pathways by which the association between sorafenib and valproic acid demonstrated positive results, thus reversing the resistance to sorafenib presented in patients with hepatocarcinoma. Review: The research was carried out based on searches in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Pubmed databases, with the keywords in English sorafenib, valproic acid, mechanisms of resistance and hepatocellular carcinoma, and their respective terms in Portuguese. The search period was from December 7, 2020 to February 7, 2021, and articles published between 2011 and 2021 were considered valid, using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the abstract and introduction, resulting in 19 articles included in the research. Discussion and Final considerations: The evidence shows that the combined treatment between sorafenib and valproic acid can act in different signaling pathways in order to overcome drug resistance, but also inhibit the expression of genes related to hepatocarcinoma. However, even though valproic acid has been suggested as a possible adjuvant drug for the treatment of various types of cancers, the mechanism used in reversing the resistance of hepatocarcinoma cells is not clear, thus requiring further studies.
Keywords: valproic acid, hepatocellular carcinoma, mechanisms of resistance, sorafenib.

Encefalite autolimitada na COVID-19: relato de um caso
Resumo:
Introduction: COVID-19 is a systemic infection with the new coronavirus (SARS-COV2), which appeared in China in 2019 and has been plaguing the world. Its contagion rate is high and has already caused millions of deaths on all continents. Although it is asymptomatic in most patients, many cases usually lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Neurological symptoms, especially headache, anosmia and mental confusion, are prominent, possibly due to direct involvement of brain structures or the peripheral nervous system. Cases of critical encephalitis have been reported in several countries. Memory loss seems to be a commom sequel. Case report: We describe the case of a young woman who presented epileptic seizures due to coronavirus infection, with changes in the cerebrospinal fluid and transient abnormalities in neuroimaging, evolving with spontaneous improvement. Discussion: Our findings suggest the existence of cases of post-covid encephalitis from autoimmune nature and benign evolution, a potentially underdiagnosed entity in the face of the most serious manifestations of the pandemic, and perhaps responsible for sequelae such as memory loss and anosmia.
Keywords: COVID-19, epileptic seizures, autoimmune encephalitis, pandemic.

Osteorradionecrose: como tratar?
Resumo:
Osteoradionecrosis is one of the most serious complications of radiotherapy, which is used for the treatment of head and neck neoplasms. It is a disease in which the irradiated bone becomes devitalized and exposed through the loss of skin and mucosa integrity, persisting without scarring. Review: Facial osteoradionecrosis affects the mandible in most cases, followed by the maxilla. The most important risk factors are the radiation dose used, the presence of periodontal diseases and tooth extractions. Clinical features for diagnosis include local pain, trismus, halitosis, bone exposure, secretion drainage, and fistulization to the skin or mucosa. Discussion: The most complex cases require surgical approach, with radical debridement of devitalized bone and soft tissue, associated with reconstruction. Among the existing options for mandible reconstruction, the most used are free flaps of bone tissue, such as the fibula, iliac crest, scapula and radial forearm flaps. As for the maxilla, the most used are the anterolateral thigh and radial forearm flaps. These are well-vascularized tissues, which provide adequate filling and coverage of the remaining defect. Final considerations: Osteoradionecrosis requires a complex and multidisciplinary treatment where the surgeon plays an important role in its prevention.

Uso de infiltrante resinoso (ICON) para tratamento de lesões de mancha branca
Resumo:
Introduction: The Resin Infiltrant (ICON) fills the microporosity of the white spot lesion body, by infiltrating a light-curing low viscosity resin, in order to camouflage white spots, improve aesthetics and prevent the progression of dental caries. Review: Morphological alterations of white spot, both pre-eruptive (fluorosis, amelogenesis imperfecta) and post-eruptive (caries lesion), cause dispersion of incident light rays, due to the difference in the refractive index of hydroxyapatite and of air, which fills the demineralized pores and results in this unsightly optical effect. However, the resinous infiltrant ICON, which through capillary forces is transported in the porosities of the enamel, where it fills the empty spaces, and after its polymerization, blocks the diffusion pathways for cariogenic acids and dissolved minerals, which provides paralysis and alteration of the light scattering by the refractive index (RI) of the resin, resembling the existing healthy enamel, that is, camouflaging the white spot. Discussion: The esthetic function, mimicry of the white spot lesion, pigmentation susceptibility and functional microhardness of the enamel are directly related to the depth and extension of the lesions, considering that its roughness is acceptable. Final considerations: The resinous infiltrate (ICON) camouflages superficial white spot lesions, increases enamel microhardness and paralyzes carious activity.

Acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico em pacientes com doença renal crônica
Resumo:
Background: Health professionals, in recent decades, have directed greater attention to chronic diseases, since these diseases are responsible for a significant portion of the morbidity of the world population, affecting from young people to the elderly. Currently, the main treatments available for end-stage renal disease are: automated peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, intermittent peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. Such treatments partially exert the renal function, alleviating disease symptoms and preserving the patient's life, without generating a cure. Chronic kidney patients use several drugs concomitantly, which, associated with changes in the glomerular filtration rate, multiple comorbidities and age, increase the risk of drug interactions. Objective: The aim of the present study is the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up of patients with chronic kidney disease, aiming at improving their quality of life in this population, which, due to the practice of polypharmacy and the presence of various diseases, usually has their quality of life reduced. Methods: Data present in the patient's medical record and the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) allowed the collection and organization of patient data, the identification of problems related to pharmacotherapy, the elaboration of a care plan together with the patient and put an end to individual follow-up of the patient. Results: Of the 5 patients interviewed, in 1 there was no drug interaction, however, 4 had drug interactions, referring to their pharmacological treatment, totaling 12 interactions, with 6 (50%) severe interactions, 5 (41.67%) moderate and 1 (8 .33%) light. Conclusions: This research allowed to carry out pharmacotherapeutic monitoring in chronic kidney patients, who, due to their condition, have prescription restrictions of different therapeutic classes that can generate adverse effects in relation to renal function and age, resulting in polypharmacy and DRPs.

For the construction of this work, a bibliographic survey of an exploratory nature was used, which is based on the survey of secondary scientific data and the systematization of information, and inserted in the Scielo, Pubmed and Google Scholar databases. Review: the oil obtained from the extraction of the buriti pulp when used alone does not have antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant strains, but associated with the use of drugs with antibiotic properties potentiates the inhibitory action. Acting as a vehicle for enhancing and transporting antioxidants to prevent damage caused by UV radiation, it is a natural antioxidant capable of slowing the oxidation processes of normal physiological functions, reducing the risk of various diseases, such as DM. There is a need for incentives and the intensification of clinical studies focused on research to improve Buriti's health benefits. Discussion: Mauritia flexuosa L. f. it is part of the Arecaceae family, one of the palm trees with a large distribution index in the national territory, it is considered the symbol palm of the cerrado. One of the main chemical constituents are natural antioxidants that form vitamin E, tocopherols. It can be said that in the oil obtained from the pulp of the fruits of the genus Mauritia flexuosa there are substances that promote benefits in the healing process, Mauritia flexuosa does not show antibacterial activity against very resistant strains when used alone, but when associated with antibiotics, there was potentiation of the action of some drugs, considered as a potentiating vehicle and carrier of antioxidants to prevent damage caused by UV radiation, precisely because it has photo protective properties, which helps in the recovery of the epidermis after sun exposure, that nutrition with buriti flour promoted a reduction of oxidative damage to biomolecules. Final considerations: Through this research it was possible to elucidate that Mauritia Flexuosa has a curative capacity when used in conjunction with specific drugs, thus having a great potential benefit when used correctly.

Assistência farmacêutica em unidades hospitalares em tempos de pandemia – uma revisão integrativa
Resumo:
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed on hospital pharmacists the need to plan and organize a response to the challenges brought about by the disease. Pharmacists exercise fundamental activities in the context of the pandemic, either through the supply of medicines or the provision of pharmaceutical services. Managing pharmacies, hospitals or community, in times of SARS-CoV-2 is a new challenge. The hospital pharmacy has been facing several challenges in the face of the pandemic scenario and, in order to continue offering a quality service to the population, it was necessary to adopt coping strategies and adapt their activities. Thus, this research aims to highlight the importance of pharmacists and pharmacies within hospital units, considering the specificities of the pandemic of COVID-19. Review: This is an exploratory bibliographic review, through an integrative review. The collection of scientific data and the systematization of information come from scientific productions published from 2018 to 2021, in Portuguese, indexed in the database of the BVS, LILACS and SCIELO. Discussion: Hospital pharmacists had to restructure the service in response to COVID-19, considering the need to protect the teams, so that there is no compromise in the care activity and support for medical action and, simultaneously, provide an effective response to the new reality, not neglecting the component of reviewing and monitoring the use of health technologies and active pharmacovigilance of drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19. Final Remarks: It was found that the concept of hospital pharmacy goes beyond a sector of custody of medicines, being a department that adds value to other sectors of the hospital. Thus, the research findings allowed us to conclude that pharmacists, when working in hospital pharmacies, can collaborate with the multiprofessional health team, monitoring the use of medicines and the clinical evolution of patients, since the off-label use of medicines is a current reality that can cause serious damage to the health of individuals.

A study conducted in several Brazilian cities shows that an average of 70-90% in this age group use medications continuously, with an average of two to five medications per person. Review: The present study is a bibliographical survey of an exploratory nature, based on the survey of secondary scientific data and the systematization of information. From databases such as SCIELO, MEDLINE, PUBMED, PUBSAUDE, Manuals of the Ministry of Health, using as cut-off date the last 20 years (2000-2020). Studies published in Spanish, Portuguese and English were considered suitable. Studies not dealing with the subject, about the elderly, self-medication or anti-inflammatory drugs, studies in other languages, or studies prior to the cut-off date were excluded from the search. Discussion: NSAIDs should be prescribed with more caution and specific orientation for each individual patient, specifically the older ones. Even with all its quality and effectiveness in the treatment of pain and inflammation of chronic diseases. The sale of this class of drugs needs to be more restricted, and the easy access to this class in drugstores contributes to indiscriminate use and the worsening of the general health condition of the elderly, who already have some disease in their clinical diagnosis, contributing to possible drug interactions. Final considerations: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause several risks to the patient's health if not used correctly. It is necessary to pay special attention to the dispensation and orientation of the elderly patient on the correct use of the drug and possible interventions with other methods to treat their diseases

A importância do controle de qualidade nos laboratórios de análises clínicas – uma revisão integrativa
Resumo:
Introduction: Modern clinical analysis laboratories are an important part of the health system, as laboratory results are responsible for up to 75% of the information needed to decide on drug treatment. Thus, this research, through a bibliographic review, sought to demonstrate the importance of implementing and maintaining quality control in a clinical analysis laboratory. Review: This is an integrative literature review. The collection of scientific data and the systematization of information come from scientific productions published from 2011 to 2021, in Portuguese, indexed in the database of the BVS, MEDLINE-PUBMED, LILACS and SCIELO. Discussion: The need to implement quality control and management standards in health care services has shown significant growth in recent years. The implementation of a quality control system can result in several benefits, such as reduced costs and waste, increased laboratory profits, increased laboratory competitiveness and the establishment of business confidence in the market. Final considerations: Although there is a technological transformation that has taken place in the laboratory environment, errors still happen. The main source of errors continues to come from human activities, which reinforces the need to implement quality controls in the different phases of laboratory analysis in order to reduce this interference, reducing costs arising from rework and, consequently, increasing the service credibility.
Keywords: quality control, PALC standard, laboratory quality.
