The use of medicinal plants with therapeutic purpose, for the treatment, prevention and cure of diseases has been used by humanity since the beginning of time, during the period of facing the pandemic of COVID-19, several peoples have resorted to empirical and traditional knowledge associated with the use of medicinal plants. This is a Systematic Review of Literature, where data collection takes place virtually, searching for articles in the databases Google Academic, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Revista Brasileira de Plantas Medicinais and Revista de Farmacognosia, with the following descriptors: in Health Sciences (DeCS): "medicinal plants" AND "COVID-19" AND "SARS-CoV-2" AND "Coronavirus". For data collection and analysis, there was a process and flow to concentrate articles related to the main theme of the research and to evidence the findings. The main plants found for the treatment and/or prevention of COVID-19 were: Guaco (Mikania glomerata. Sprengel), Quina-quina (Coutarea hexandra Schum), Jatobá (Hymenaea courbaril), Broccoli (Brassica oleracea), Boldo (Pneumus boldus), Chamomile (Matricariare Mint (Menthacitrata Ehrh), Orange (Citrusaurantium L.), Garlic (Alliumsativum), Passion Fruit (Passiflora alata Curtis.Passiflora incarnata L.), Cider (Cymbopogoncitratus.), Although I use it. Although the available studies offer several indications that these plant-derived products may help fight COVID-19, further studies should be conducted to assess the clinical usefulness of these products against COVID-19 infection.

Benzodiazepines whose pharmacological properties provide sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant actions are the most widely used psychotropic drugs with potential to cause chemical dependence. The objective was to analyze the use of benzodiazepines by medical students and their systemic effects and on the levels of attention, anxiety and school performance, since the sedative and hypnotic effects of this drug are potentiated and may reflect in a depressant action on the System. Central Nervous. This is a descriptive-exploratory and cross-sectional research, in which an electronic questionnaire was applied on the use of psychoactive substances, specifically benzodiazepines, in academics enrolled from the 1st to the 9th period of medicine at a medical school in the south of the State of Tocantins, aged over 18 years, both sexes. Of the 126 responses, 64.3% (81) were female and 35.7% (45) were male. It is observed that the most used drug is clonazepam 0.5mg, followed by alprazolam 0.5mg and in amounts equal to alprazolam 1mg and 2mg, clonazepam 2mg and diazepam 5mg and 10mg. The vulnerability of students at the interface to the mental health scenario has increasingly been in line with anxious and depressive profiles, which were evidenced in the present study. The research found that the use of benzodiazepines by medical students is associated with the strenuous routine of studies and the volume of requirements for preparing a doctor, which evolves to the use of medication after entering college.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is the acute inflammation of the female upper genital tract, which can be triggered by recurrent vaginal candidiasis, which is one of the causes of its development, presenting frequently in a woman's life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the approach to the etiological aspects and the pharmacological treatment of acute pelvic diseases, emphasizing recurrent candida. This is a methodical literature review, with the proposal to carry out a search of scientific articles through electronic research, based on the data listed: Google Scholar, SCIELO (Online Scientific Electronic Library) and VHL (Virtual Health Library), PUBMED, between the years 2010 to 2022. Pelvic inflammatory disease is affected by STD's, and a sexually active life with multiple unprotected partners can be claimed as a risk factor. Candidiasis triggering PID, having a correct treatment such as changing eating habits that help to prevent unwanted Candida and consequently a non-development of PID.

Candida is a fungus that makes up the normal microbiota of an organism, and can become pathogens under immunosuppression. Candida albicans is the largest representative, as it is more prevalent in both normal and pathological processes. Thus, the present work has the general objective of evaluating the profile of women predisposing to the development of vulvovaginal candidiasis. This present study is based on a literature review, scientific articles indexed in Google Scholar, Scielo, Bireme and LILACS databases were used to compose the bibliographic research. 79 articles were initially identified after examining the content and certifying their relationship with the theme, a total of 59 articles were excluded, leaving 20 journals. In the results, it was evident that the profile of women most vulnerable to developing candidiasis, inadequate hygiene can be a contributing factor to vaginal contamination, including some sense of anal hygiene felt in the vagina, fecal residue in panties, as well as factors that metabolic imbalance, high-carbohydrate diet, as well as certain medications.

Probabilistic data have shown in recent decades a growth in dissatisfaction with the personal image of individuals, including in Brazil, which has already become the 4th country in the world ranking in the aesthetics market. Given this reality, this study aimed to discuss the role of the pharmaceutical professional in aesthetic health and to present the regulations of the aesthetic pharmacist. Thus, the current legislation, the services provided and the influence of the work of the Pharmacy professional in the field of aesthetics were presented. This is a literature review carried out based on research of scientific articles, legislation and resolutions, already published in Portuguese and English and that deal specifically with the proposed theme. Data collection took place in a database, such as the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Lilacs, Scielo, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search resulted in 40 articles after using the inclusion and exclusion criteria; 21 articles remained for analysis, interpretation and discussion. In the results, it was evident that in addition to the area of action of the pharmacist in the area of aesthetics is wide, being able to perform, among others, the techniques of electrotherapy, intense pulsed light, cosmetotherapy, chemical and mechanical peeling, and mainly in the evaluation, definition of the procedures and strategies, monitoring and aesthetic evolution. In addition, the aesthetic pharmacist can be the technician in charge of establishments for aesthetic purposes with non-surgical invasive procedures.

The association of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-COV-2) with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (API) is called CAPA.  Clinical treatment protocols are not described in the world or national literature   resulting in low efficacy and high mortality. The objective was to associate the manifestations of SARS-COV-2 and API, in relation to the diagnostic methods, pulmonary dysfunction   and clinical outcome. The systematic literature review was based on Pubmed, with English descriptors: “aspergilosis”, “covid”, “histology”, boolean "and", with filters: human and published from 2019. 31 articles were identified and 10 were included. The diagnosis for API included research of the Aspergillus galactomannan antigen in serum or sputum, Aspergillus PCR in tracheal aspirate and culture of respiratory samples. The highlighted respiratory compromises are ground-glass opacities, nodular consolidations, bilateral interstitial pulmonary infiltrate, with death as one of the common outcome. CAPA is a co-infection process, future clinical trials are necessary to develop integrated diagnosis, to improve the clinical outcome and minimize mortality.

Food supplements are products composed mainly of vitamins, minerals, plant stracts, tissue extracts, tissue extracts, proteins and amino acids, or the combination of these different elements, usually administered orally to complement a specific nutritional deficiency and assist in development by providing the improvement of the physical performance of an individual. As a result, the objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional aspects related to food supplementation, as well as the risks and benefits of its use. The methodology used in the present is in a descriptive/exploratory, documentary way, of the systematic review type. The data collection of the articles was carried out during the period from February 24, 2021 to October 8, 2021, using as a database the Online platform for Search and Analysis of Medical Literature (Medline), Scientifc Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs) and Virtual Library in Health (BVS). Thus, from the data collected it was possible to realize that the choice of the foods that make up the diet of coaches and athletes is fundamental for the maintenance of the health of these individuals, but also for non-athletes, as a form of weight control and body composition. In this sense, there is evidence that the use of nutritional supplements has grown, for the up for the purposes of hypertrophy, elimination of excess body fat. For the use of a certain nutritional supplement it is necessary to undergo a medical evaluation in order to establish the amount and which appropriate supplement.

Obesity is a chronic disease defined by the abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that causes damage to health, characterized by a body mass index or BMI equal to or above 30. Seduced by the deceptive promise of rapid weight loss and without much effort, people choose to use drugs to lose weight in order to achieve a “perfect body” without effort and without any medical advice, making the indiscriminate use of anorectics. The objective of this study will be to describe the consequences caused by self-medication with anorectic drugs by obese individuals. It is an integrative literature review, a research technique that gathers and synthesizes relevant publications on a delimited topic or issue, in a systematic and orderly way, contributing to the deepening of the knowledge of the investigated topic, making it possible to draw conclusions about an area particular study, with a qualitative nature and temporality with cross-sectional data collection, the method for bibliographic survey consisted of research based on articles on obesity and its treatment, focusing on the adverse factors described in these studies, the search was carried out in the following bases of scientific data: Medline, SciELO, PubMed, Google Scholar, Lilacs. However, society's awareness of the consequences of self-measurement of these drugs must be performed routinely, as well as guidance on the use of these drugs, since the risks of indiscriminate consumption, without medical and pharmaceutical monitoring of anorectics, are many and can lead to various complications for physical health such as tachycardia, high blood pressure, insomnia, irritability.

Alcoholism is a pathological condition that develops through excessive use of alcohol. It presents as consequences, public health problems, in addition to damage observed in the individual's social networks. In this conception, the study's primary objective is to analyze the use of alcohol and its direct effects on the health and interpersonal relationships of users. In addition, the damage that excessive use of alcohol can bring to the psychological of the dependent will also be discussed, especially in cases in which the emergence of psychiatric diseases has been detected. This is a systematic literature review, which included studies in Portuguese and published between 2017 and 2022. To obtain this answer, this work was based on searches of scientific articles in the indexed databases of the data portal of scientific articles withdrawn from research sources such as: Google Scholar, Scielo, LILACS and PubMed. In its mechanism of action, alcohol, which is a psychotropic substance that depressants the central nervous system (CNS), promotes simultaneous alteration of numerous neuronal pathways, generating a profound neurological impact and translating into several biological and behavioral changes. The multifocal action of alcohol on the CNS results in a general effect of psychomotor depression, difficulties in storing information and logical reasoning, motor incoordination, in addition to stimulation of the reward system, which may explain the development of chemical dependence, it was evident the alcohol can produce symptoms of depression, anxiety, agitation, symptoms that end up harming the physical, psychological and social aspect of the patient.

In the last decades, an increasing number of individuals considered obese has been observed, thus becoming a public health problem. Among the various types of treatments found to solve this problem, the drug sibutramine is found in the field of medicines. Research has shown different effects to this drug, especially cardiovascular ones. Therefore, the present study aimed to describe the therapeutic efficacy of sibutramine and present the advantages and risks of this drug to obese individuals. The study is based on a literature review, which was based on scientific works already published between the years 2017 to 2021 in Portuguese and English and that specifically deal with the proposed theme. Data collection took place in a database, such as the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Lilacs, Scielo, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Initially, it obtained 87 previously selected articles, the search resulted in 70 articles after using the inclusion and exclusion criteria; 20 articles remained for analysis, interpretation and discussion. In the results, it was evident that, from the studies found, sibutramine proved to be effective for the treatment of obesity, in the face of good medical and pharmaceutical follow-up, as well as good adherence by patients, associating the use of medication with healthy habits. and physical activity.
