Accuracy of information on herbal medicines (phytoterapeutics agents) advertisements published in Paraíba, Brazil

Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a adequação legal da propaganda e publicidade de medicamentos fitoterápicos anunciada na Paraíba através de peças publicitárias obtidas na forma de impressos, os quais foram coletados em consultórios médicos, hospitais públicos e privados, farmácias e congressos. Verificou-se que as 53 propagandas coletadas promoveram 351 fitoterápicos, anunciando 140 plantas diferentes. A análise do material evidenciou irregularidades que ferem a legislação vigente: a RDC N° 102/2000 e a RDC N° 48/2004 da ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária), regulamentadoras da propaganda de medicamentos e do registro de fitoterápicos respectivamente. A promoção de propagandas mais éticas para medicamentos é de interesse da ANVISA, além de ser extremamente importante para a população que é sempre a maior vítima das irregularidades.The aim of this study is to evaluate the advertisements accuracy of herbal medicines (phytoterapeutic agents) published in Paraíba through data obtained in the form of printed ads (leaflets) collected at medical clinics, public and private hospitals, drugstores and medical congress. It was verified that the 53 collected ads promoted 351 herbal medicines, announcing 140 different plants. The analysis of the ads evidenced irregularities according to Brazilian regulatory guidelines: RDC N° 102/2000 and RDC N° 48/2004, wich regulate advertisements and herbal medicines respectively. The promotion of more ethical ads for medicines is one the most important interest of the ANVISA (National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance), besides being an extremely important fact for the population that is always the largest victim of the irregularities.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire

CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS ISOLATED FROM Turnera subulata

Turnera subulata Sm., known as "Chanana" or "flor-do-Guarujá" in Brazilian folklore, is a plant species belonging to the subfamily Turneroideae of family Passifloraceae, which is used for various medicinal purposes in Brazil. The phytochemical study conducted here led to the isolation and identification of ten compounds present in T. subulata: two mixtures of steroids, sitosterol and stigmasterol (nonglycosylated and glycosylated); a mixture of flavonoids, 5,7,4′-trihidroxiflavona-8-C-α-glucopyranoside and 5,7,3′,4′-tetrahidroxiflavona-8-C-α-glucopyranosidel; and four phaeophytins, phaeophytin purpurin-18-phytyl ester, a rare natural product, phaeophytin a , 13²-hydroxy-(13²-S)-phaeophytin a , and phaeophytin b Phaeophytin b exhibited electrochemical activity similar to that of phthalocyanines

Käytännön kosteikkosuunnittelu

Maatalouden vesiensuojelua edistetään monin tavoin. Ravinteita ja eroosioainesta sisältäviä valumavesiä pyritään puhdistamaan erilaisissa kosteikoissa. Tämä opas on kirjoitettu avuksi pienimuotoisten kosteikkojen perustamiseen. Oppaassa esitetään käytännönläheisesti kosteikon toteuttamisen eri vaiheet paikan valinnasta suunnitteluun ja rakentamiseen. Vuonna 2010 julkaistun painoksen tiedot on saatettu ajantasalle. Julkaisu on toteutettu osana Tehoa maatalouden vesiensuojeluun (TEHO) -hanketta ja päivitetty TEHO Plus -hankkeen toimesta. Oppaan toivotaan lisäävän kiinnostusta kosteikkojen suunnitteluun ja edelleen niiden rakentamiseen

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
