EspositobookPart Panorama global da pesquisa em medicina e saúde integrativa(2021) GHELMAN, Ricardo; SCHVEITZER, Mariana Cabral; ABDALA, Carmen Verônica Mendes; NUNES, Gelza Matos; PORTELLA, Caio Fábio Schlechta- Assessing the safety and use of medicinal herbs during pregnancy: a cross-sectional study in São Paulo, Brazil(2023) IM, Hyea Bin; GHELMAN, Ricardo; PORTELLA, Caio Fabio Schlechta; HWANG, Jung Hye; CHOI, Dain; KUNWOR, Sangita Karki; MORAES, Sandra Dircinha Teixeira de Araujo; HAN, DongwoonBackground: Despite the lack of evidence supporting the safety and clinical efficacy of herbal medicine (HM), its use among pregnant women continues to increase. Given the high prevalence of contraindicated herbs among the pregnant population in Brazil, it is crucial to examine the use of HM and evaluate its safety based on the current scientific literature to ensure that women are using HM appropriately.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to January 2023 at a public teaching hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A total of 333 postpartum women in the postnatal wards and postnatal clinic were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The survey instrument consisted of 51 items covering the use of HM during pregnancy, sociodemographic and health-related characteristics, COVID-19 experiences, and pregnancy outcomes. For data analysis, chi-square and multivariate logistic regression were conducted using SPSS ver. 26.0.Results: Approximately 20% of respondents reported using HM during their most recent pregnancy, with a higher use observed among women from ethnic minority groups and those with prior HM experience. Among the 20 medicinal herbs identified, 40% were found to be contraindicated or recommended for use with caution during pregnancy. However, only half of the women discussed their HM use with obstetric care providers.Conclusion: This study emphasizes the continued public health concern regarding the use of contraindicated or potentially harmful HM among pregnant women in Brazil, highlighting the need for sustained efforts to reduce the risk of inappropriate HM use. By updating antenatal care guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence, healthcare providers can make informed clinical decisions and effectively monitor pregnant women's HM use, ultimately promoting safer and more effective healthcare practices.
conferenceObject A Overview Of Systematic Reviews In Medicinal Plants And Herbal Formulations For The Treatment Of Climacteric Symptoms: A Lack Of Research On Southern Hemispheric Plants(2022) PORTELLA, Caio Fabio S.; SILVA, Igor de Azevedo da; SIMES, Ricardo dos Santos; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; SOARES JUNIOR, Jose M.; SORPRESO, Isabel C. EspositobookPart Naturologia(2021) PORTELLA, Caio Fabio Schlechta- Meditation: Evidence Map of Systematic Reviews(2021) PORTELLA, Caio Fabio Schlechta; GHELMAN, Ricardo; ABDALA, Veronica; SCHVEITZER, Mariana Cabral; AFONSO, Rui FerreiraStudy Basis: This evidence map presents a summary of studies that addressed the effects of meditation on various clinical and health conditions. Meditation is a contemplative practice that has been used for the promotion of health, and the treatment of different conditions.
Method: The study is based on the search of four electronic databases for the period 1994-November 2019 and includes systematic reviews, meta-analyses, meta-syntheses, and integrative reviews. 3iE evidence gap map was the methodology of choice, and AMSTAR 2 was used for the analyses. Tableau was used to graphically display the confidence level, number of reviews, health outcomes, and intervention effects.
Results: This map encompasses 191 studies, with Mindfulness being the key word that retrieved the highest number of results. Several meditation techniques were evaluated in different contexts, and the confidence levels of 22 studies were high, 84 were moderate, and 82 were low. Two 2 meta-syntheses and 1 integrative review were also included. Most of the studies reported positive effects and a beneficial potential of the practice of meditation. Health outcomes were divided into five groups out of which mental health and vitality, and well-being and quality of life stood out with the largest number of studies.
Conclusions: Meditation has been applied in different areas. This Evidence Map intends to be an easy visual tool to access valuable evidence-based information on this complementary therapy for patients, health professionals, and managers. - Meditation as an approach to lessen menopausal symptoms and insomnia in working women undergoing the menopausal transition period: A randomized controlled trial(2021) PORTELLA, Caio Fabio Schlechta; SORPRESO, Isabel Cristina Esposito; ASSIS, Alan da Silva Menezes de; ABREU, Luiz Carlos de; SOARES, Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; MORAES, Sandra Dircinha Teixeira de Araujo; TANAKA, Ana Cristina D'AndrettaObjective: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of meditation (Raja Yoga meditation) on insomnia and other menopausal symptoms experienced by working women during the menopausal transition period. Method: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 47 women between the ages of 40 and 55 who worked in three of the National Institute of Social Security units, in the city of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Participants were randomized into two groups: an intervention group, who practiced Raja Yoga Meditation and Sleep Hygiene - M + SH (n = 18); and a control group, who practiced only Sleep Hygiene SH (n = 15) during a period that went from April to July 2013. Eight weekly meetings were held with the participants of both groups. Menopausal symptoms and sleep disturbances were the outcomes analyzed. Results: In relation to the intensity of the insomnia symptom, improvement in relation to time was observed in both groups (M + SH p = 0.001) (SH p = 0.005). The intervention group showed a significant improvement in KMI index (p = 0,024). The control group showed improvement in PSQ total score (p = 0,016). In the comparison between groups ANOVA two-way test showed significant difference (0,026) in KMI, demonstrating that meditation can be relevant for the decrease of climatic symptoms. Conclusion: The results suggest that Raja Yoga meditation may be a non-pharmacological alternative in the control of sleep quality and menopause associated symptoms during late menopausal transition, contributing to the improvement of working women's quality of life.
