Hallisy","doi":"10.15406/ijfcm.2019.03.00164","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15406/ijfcm.2019.03.00164","url":null,"abstract":"Healthy aging is a goal of every adult. Optimal aging involves wellness of mind, body and spirit. Mobility is key to maintaining independence, community engagement and quality of life. Indeed, walking speed is the ‘sixth’ vital sign.1 Walking speed is a robust outcome measure; it is an indicator of severity of disease as well as overall comorbid burden of illness. Walking speed is a powerful predictor of functional decline, impending frailty and risk of mortality. Many factors (e.g. age, gender, body-mass-index, quadriceps strength, balance cardiovascular health) contribute to walking speed.2 Walking speed requires antigravity support from the musculoskeletal system and keen attention to the environment. It requires sensory integration of biomechanical, neuromuscular, proprioceptive, tactile, visual and vestibular inputs to and from the central and peripheral nervous systems.1–3 Any complication due to aging, disease, deconditioning or poor lifestyle habits impacts walking speed, leg strength and balance making us less able to carry out daily tasks or respond to challenges in the environment. Tai chi (TC) is a mind-body intervention that influences walking speed and its many factors, and advances all aspects of wellness through both individual and group practice. This purpose of this paper is to outline the who-what-where-when-why and how of Tai Chi practice to promote optimal aging and well-being for the older adult (Table 1).","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77391693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leprosy is a mycobacteriosis caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), called Hansen’s bacillus, capable of affecting skin, peripheral nerves and other systems in a localized or systemic way, depending on the immunogenic characteristics of the host.3 Transmission occurs through bacilli expelled by sneezing, coughing, speech and breathing of the infected individual, according to prolonged and frequent contact. Its diagnosis is made through anamnesis, general physical examination, dermatological and neurological evaluation of the thermal, tactile and tactile sensibility and palpation of peripheral nerves, complemented by smear microscopy of the patient who presents lesions of the skin with a sensitivity disorder.4–5 The disease is classified clinically in four forms: indeterminate, tuberculoid, borderline or dimorphic, and virchowian.4–6","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89921172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marques postulated that even with the globalization of the chemical industry and the use of synthetic drugs, products from medicinal plants still hold a share of the world market, 14 billion of an estimated $ 280 billion (about 5% of the world market pharmaceuticals). In Brazil, the estimated amount spent on herbal medicines is of the order of 300 million dollars, relatively low; representing approximately 4% of the total pharmaceutical market in the order of $ 7.4 million; when compared with the values of Europe and the United States in 2000, equivalent to 8.5 and 6.3 billion dollars respectively.1,2 Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is among the disorders the most common currently found anxiety, approximately 12% of the population, according to the Institute of Psychiatry, Hospital das Clinicas, University of São Paulo, research conducted in 2011, which is almost 24 million Brazilians with pathological anxiety.3 Among its symptoms include involuntary bodily manifestations such as dry mouth, sweating, chills, tremor, vomiting, palpitations, and abdominal pain. The most recommended herbal remedies for anxiety is kava (Kava), Passiflora incarnata, Valeriana officinalis, Ginkgo biloba, glauca Galphimia, Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) and Matricaria recutita (chamomile); allopathic drugs most commonly used to treat anxiety are Diazepam, Buspirone, Clonazepam, Sertraline, among others.4,5 The aim of this study was to develop a systematic review on Randomized, controlled clinical trials with Matricaria recutita (camomile), Melissa officinalis (Lemon balm) and Passiflora incarnata (passion fruit) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The specific objectives of the study include identifying clinical studies on the efficacy and safety of Matricaria recutita (Chamomile), Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) and Passiflora incarnata (passion fruit) for the treatment of GAD; describe the characteristics of these herbal medicines and provide clinical evidence for the correct prescription and rationalized these herbal medicines. Despite the advances noted in treating GAD in recent years, it is estimated that less than 50% of patients suffering from total remission of symptoms.6 So this review is justified by the fact that pharmacotherapeutic alternative may be required. And considering that herbal pharmaceuticals are freely available and can be directly linked to self-medication, prescription and use must be made safely, rational and guided by scientific evidence.","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75857440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
