Objective: Analyze official protein recommendations for vegan and vegetarian individuals in all life stages. Methods: Integrative review carried out with official recommendations from six different countries and one continent, found in the PubMed database e Google Scholar. This study included articles with official recommendations from different countries, published in the last ten years in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Results: In the search, after analyzing the titles and abstracts, seven articles were considered for the study. Conclusions: Considering only proteins, it is possible to have a healthy vegetarian diet, provided that individuals are careful with protein consumption so that the daily recommendations are met and there is not any deficiency related to this macronutrient. However, in vegan diets, individuals should have greater caution since these only include plant protein sources which have lower bioavailability and, therefore, need to be consumed in a bigger quantity and from various different sources throughout the day. Nutritional assistance is essential in this dietary choice.

Allergic conjunctivitis is an eye condition prevalent among children, characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva resulting from an allergic reaction to substances such as pollen, dust, dust mites and animal dander. This disease is a manifestation of the immune system and causes symptoms such as intense itching, tearing, hyperemia and a sensation of a foreign body in the eyes. The management of allergic conjunctivitis ranges from simple measures, such as frequent eye washing and avoidance of allergens, to the use of medications such as antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers and topical corticosteroids. In childhood, the management of allergic conjunctivitis faces difficulties such as variability in response to treatment and the impossibility of completely avoiding exposure to allergens. The general objective of this study is to evaluate management strategies for allergic conjunctivitis in childhood, with an emphasis on the effectiveness of available treatments and the identification of factors that influence the response to treatment. Specific objectives include analyzing the effectiveness of different treatments, investigating the influence of environmental and individual factors on disease severity and recurrence, and discussing the management of allergic conjunctivitis. This study is relevant as appropriate management of allergic conjunctivitis can prevent complications and improve children’s well-being. Identifying factors that influence response to treatment can contribute to the development of more personalized and effective therapeutic approaches. Recent literature highlights the need to improve education of parents and caregivers about allergic conjunctivitis to ensure appropriate management of the disease. Studies show that understanding the immunological mechanisms underlying the disease is crucial for developing new therapies. Therefore, this research not only adds to scientific knowledge about childhood allergic conjunctivitis, but also provides valuable insights for clinical practice and health policy formulation.

Aging, it is a physiological process that involves a progressive decline in the function of the organs, with loss of homeostasis and increased likelihood of disease disease and death. This account focuses on the classic perspectives on the biogenesis of exosomes, and age-related associated changes. Due to its ability to transmit biological information between cells, this work also discusses the interaction of mesenchymal cell exosomes, as a potent adjuvant in the treatment of association of orofacial harmonization techniques. The demand for aesthetic and rejuvenating treatments is increasing in society, thus, each day, the demand for orofacial harmonization increases exponentially in order to slow aging. Orofacial harmonization is a set of procedures performed by the dentist, which aims at the aesthetic and functional balance of the face. Exosomes are membranous extracellular vesicles ranging from 30 to 200 nm in diameter. Exosomes has been found to be secreted by most cell types, including immune cells (B cells, T cells, mastocytes, dendritic cells), neuronal cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, embryonic cells, cancer cells and cells mesenchymal trunk (mscs). The search for youth and perfect skin is a natural desire for the human being. And in this way, collagen biostimulation stands out as a safe and effective option to rejuvenate the skin, fighting the signs of aging and promoting a firmer, toned and radiant appearance. Research in exosomes therapies continues to prosper. Subsequent data on indications, dose response, safety, effectiveness and ability to combine therapy with exosomes as a “skin primer” for biostimulation techniques, such as calcium hydroxylapatite (CAHA), platelet rich plaketers (PRP) and fibrin matrix Platelet plasma, (PRFM) is growing rapidly.

Labor relations have been adapting to new legislation and the market profile over the years, a way that broadens a debate in the health sector, correlating changes in the management of the Unified Health System (SUS) and the arrival of the provision of services, by the cooperative entities, with a contractual configuration,which reinforces the labor issue and expresses the scenario of neoliberalism in Brazil. The present research aims to raise the discussions present in the cited parts, having the versions, such as unions, associations and workers’representatives,which present a critical position and point to the precariousness of labor relations, fearing the lack of inspection of resources transferred in the current model, while public managers and service providers say they are able to meet the demands and contracts signed with municipalities and states, so that health outsourcing takes place in our country. Legislation in constant adaptation seeking to guide the quality assistance to the health user seeking a political and social balance. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out on the proposed themes, with the main and most recent articles found. In this way, it is considered that in a country that descends from slavery and exploitation of cheap labor, the problem is not that social spending fits in the public budget, but that universal rights fit in the psyche of the elites, who are indignant with basic rights offered the working class.

This course conclusion work has as its theme The National Controlled Products Management System-SNGPC and its inefficiency in real control in the pharmaceutical chain. The central proposal of the study is to critically analyze the SNGPC, a system created by the government with the aim of controlling and monitoring the movement of controlled medicines in the country, from their production to final consumption. The main objective is to highlight that, since its creation, the SNGPC has presented significant failures in managing the distribution chain of these products. These failures have important consequences, as they can lead to a lack of these medicines in some regions and an excess in others, in addition to facilitating the occurrence of illegal practices such as sale without a prescription or even diversion into trafficking. The guiding question of the research is: Did the SNGPC control the movement of medicine distributors to drugstores or was the control only for pharmaceutical retail? This question is fundamental to understanding whether system failures are concentrated at a specific point in the chain or whether they are diffuse. The methodology employed involves a comprehensive bibliographical review on the topic and also a detailed analysis of official SNGPC reports and other relevant government documents. It is hoped that this study can contribute to a better understanding of the challenges faced by the SNGPC and inspire proposals to improve its functioning, thus ensuring greater effectiveness in the control of controlled medications in the country.

Background: Identifying lifestyle behaviors that can influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the young population is necessary for the design and implementation of more effective educational and public health interventions. Objective: To investigate the individual and combined effects of a set of lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep and food consumption, on the HRQoL of a sample of Brazilian adolescents. Methods: It is a school-based observational study with the participation of 308 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years. A questionnaire with structured questions was applied to gather demographic and lifestyle behavior data. A healthy lifestyle index was created including positive scores for each individual behavior. HRQoL was measured using the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire. Analysis of covariance and linear regression models were used for statistical analysis of the data. Results: Adolescents who reported ≤ 2 hours/day of screen-based sedentary behavior (F = 5.496; p = 0.016) and sleep duration between 8-10 hours/night (F = 6.542; p = 0.009) had significantly higher HRQoL. Adolescents who reported simultaneous adhesion in ≥ 3 healthy lifestyle behaviors demonstrated approximately two [OR = 2.12; 95%CI 1.27 – 4.79] to three times [OR = 3.04; 95%CI 1.93 – 5.62] more odds to have higher perceptions of HRQoL compared to those fulfilling none. Conclusion: Although healthy lifestyle behaviors had a positive individual effect on HRQoL, simultaneous adhesion to healthy behaviors enhances the cumulative effect. The findings reinforce the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle to ensure HRQoL and well-being in adolescence, with repercussions throughout adulthood.

This article reports the experience of a 60-year-old woman, living in a low-income community, who faced a battle with breast cancer. Initially, the disease was neglected and treated with home remedies, but when she sought medical help, she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. Despite medical recommendations, the patient chose not to undergo conventional treatment, following only palliative care. Family support played a crucial role in her decisions, influencing her choice to refuse surgery. However, the patient eventually withdrew from medical care, highlighting the need for a holistic approach and ongoing support for patients in similar situations. This report highlights the importance of raising awareness about breast cancer, early detection and adequate medical monitoring, as well as the need for emotional and psychological support for patients and their families throughout the treatment process.

The present study addresses mental health and psychosocial care in disaster contexts, focusing on the case of soil subsidence in Maceió, Alagoas. Initially, the gap in knowledge and intervention in this field in Brazilian public policies stands out. Disasters are defined as adverse events, natural or human, that affect vulnerable ecosystems, causing human, material and environmental damage. The disaster in Maceió began in 2018, caused by the disorderly extraction of salgema, leading to soil instability and affecting several neighborhoods. The response involved Civil Defense actions, compensation from the responsible company (BRASKEN) and relocation of the affected population. In addition to material damage, there were emotional and social losses, and it is essential to consider the psychosocial effects. Forced relocation, in particular, can cause social disconnection and increase stress, anxiety and depression. Psychosocial care requires a holistic approach, integrating specialized services with the health network and promoting emotional support and adaptation to changes. The psychosocial care network in Maceió has proven insufficient to meet the demand presented, therefore requiring the expansion of services. It is essential, therefore, to face the challenges of mental health requires public policies aligned with the principles of the SUS and Psychiatric Reform, in addition to a sensitive approach to the needs of affected communities.
