TL;DR: It is believed that ethnopharmacological and ethnobotanical studies are poorly suited to contribute to the advancement of research aimed at the development of novel drugs.
Abstract: Ethnopharmacological and ethnobotanical approaches are described in the literature as efficient to identify plants of interest for phytochemical and pharmacological studies. In the present work, we reflect on the quality of the data collected in ethno-directed studies. In accordance to the problems identified in published studies, and their theoretical and methodological underpinnings, we believe that these studies are poorly suited to contribute to the advancement of research aimed at the development of novel drugs.

TL;DR: In this article, an estudo de caso realizado atraves de entrevistas semiestruturadas com46 informantes, analisar os elementos that influenciam o acesso aos servicos de atencao primaria no municipio de Recife in Brazil.
Abstract: Apesar de todo o arcabouco institucional e do aparato juridico-legal do SUS criado para melhorar o acesso da populacao aos servicos de saude, ainda existem muitas barreiras que interferem na concretizacao do acesso universal a saude no Brasil. Objetivamos analisar os elementos que influenciam o acesso aos servicos de atencao primaria no municipio de Recife na perspectiva de profissionais e usuarios. Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado atraves de entrevistas semiestruturadas com46 informantes. A analise de conteudo foi o metodo escolhido para trabalhar os dados. As principais barreiras que emergiram da pesquisa foram o subfinanciamento dos servicos, a cobertura ainda insuficiente da Estrategia de Saude da Familia (ESF) e a oferta insuficiente de profissionais. Entre os elementos facilitadores, os mais relevantes foram a propria existencia da ESF, a comunicacao informal e o trabalho do agente comunitario de saude. Conclui-se que, mesmo com a implantacao da ESF e dos beneficios gerados, ainda ha a necessidade de a estrategia ser uma prioridade da gestao, com maior investimento na estrutura e na organizacao dos servicos ofertados para que os usuarios tenham acesso universal e equânime a rede de saude de Recife.

TL;DR: The rate of success of restorations using the ART approach was significantly lower for class II than for class I, and the most frequent failure characteristics were totally or partially lost and gross marginal defect.
Abstract: Background. Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) has the advantages of reducing pain and fear and of being more cost-effective than the traditional approach. Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival of ART class I and II restorations in primary molars at 2 years. Design. The sample consisted of 190 restorations and placed in 155 children 6-7 years old of both genders. The treatment was performed by two final-year dental students. All patients were treated in a completely supine position on tables available in the schools. The restorations were evaluated at 1, 12, and 24 months. Results. The best results were found for class I in each period of follow-up. After 1 month, the success of class I restorations was 94.6% and class II restorations 70.1%. After 12 months, the success rate was 50.6% for class I and 15.2% for class II. The most frequent failure characteristics were totally or partially lost and gross marginal defect. Conclusions. The rate of success of restorations using the ART approach was significantly lower for class II.
