Perfil da automedicação em municĂpio do Sul do Brasil
OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o usuĂĄrio de medicamentos, especialmente aquele que se automedica. MATERIAL E MĂTODO: Foram entrevistadas 413 pessoas do MunicĂpio de Santa Maria, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, sobre o consumo de medicamentos no Ășltimo mĂȘs. RESULTADOS: Dos entrevistados, 69,9% utilizaram medicamentos e destes 76,1% o fizeram atravĂ©s de automedicação. CefalĂ©ia (28,8%) foi a principal queixa motivadora de automedicação. O ĂĄcido acetilsalicĂlico foi a droga mais utilizada (25,4%). Dos fĂĄrmacos utilizados na automedicação, 51,2% foram indicados por terceiros e 51,7% dessas indicaçÔes eram prescriçÔes mĂ©dicas emitidas em consultas anteriores. CONCLUSĂO: Idade, grau de escolaridade e acompanhamento mĂ©dico periĂłdico correlacionaram-se significativamente com automedicação.OBJECTIVE: The characterization of drug users, especially as regards self-medication and the determination of its prevalence in the population studied. MATERIAL AND METHOD: About 413 people that had used drugs in the previous month were interviewed. RESULTS: From the interviewed, 69.9% used medicines and of those 76.1% were self medicated. Headache (28.8%) was the main complaint among the self-medicated group. Acetilsalicilic acid was the most frequently used medicine (25.4%). As regards the drugs utilized, 51.2% of the users had received a recommendation from a third party and 51.7% used old prescriptions, given in previous consultations. CONCLUSION: Age, schooling and absence of periodic medical consultation were significant statistical factors in self-medication
Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences
The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & NemĂ©sio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; NemĂ©sio 2009aâb; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported
by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on
18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based
researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016
