AVALIAÇÃO DA DISPONIBILIDADE DE MEDICAMENTOS PARA TRATAMENTO DA ENDOMETRIOSE NO SUS EM COMPARAÇÃO COM AS RECOMEDAÇÕES DO MINISTÉRIO DA SAÚDE

Endometriosis affects 7 million women in Brazil, mainly between 25 and 29 years old. This disease occurs when there are parts of the endometrial tissue in extrauterine locations. Its pathophysiological mechanism can be explained by three theories, with retrograde menstruation being the main cause of ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, which produces local irritation and a series of symptoms. Goals. This article aims to evaluate the treatment for endometriosis available in the National Network of Essential Medicines (RENAME) in comparison with the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines of the Ministry of Health. Methods. This article's methodology is bibliographic research, in which the bibliographic material was based on the use of the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines of the Ministry of Health and the National List of Essential Medicines (RENAME). Results. The 2022 National List of Essential Medicines (RENAME) provides four medicines for the treatment of endometriosis, which are analogues of GnRH and Danazol. While the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines of the Ministry of Health describes six medications as treatment possibilities, being GnRH analogues, progestins, oral contraceptives and Danazol. Conclusion. Given the information collected and the comparisons made, it was possible to identify that the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines of the Ministry of Health on Endometriosis covers a more complete treatment given the many specificities of endometriosis, encompassing treatment for mild and moderate cases with milder adverse effects.A endometriose acomete 7 milhões de mulheres no Brasil, principalmente entre 25 e 29 anos.

Resultados. A Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais (RENAME) de 2022 disponibiliza quatro medicamentos para o tratamento da endometriose, que são análogos do GnRH e o Danazol. Enquanto que o Protocolo Clínico e Diretrizes Terapêuticas do Ministério da Saúde descreve seis medicamentos como possibilidades de tratamento, sendo análogos do GnRH, progestágenos, anticoncepcionais orais e o Danazol. Conclusão. Diante das informações coletadas e das comparações realizadas, foi possível identificar que o Protocolo Clínico e Diretrizes Terapêuticas do Ministério da Saúde sobre Endometriose abrange um tratamento mais completo diante de tantas especificidades da endometriose, englobando tratamento para casos leves e moderados com efeitos adversos mais leves

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
