INDSH launches Pharmacotherapeutic Guide for medication use

oglobo10 September 2026 at 19:27

The National Institute of Social and Human Development (INDSH) launched in August the INDSH Pharmacotherapeutic Guide, a document that brings together essential information about the standardized medications across the 23 units managed by the institute throughout the country. The content includes indications, presentations, dosages, dose adjustments, preparation methods, administration, clinical monitoring, precautions, storage conditions, and aspects related to medication use safety.

The guide was developed jointly by all INDSH Pharmacy teams and the Scientific Committee of the Brazilian Institute for Patient Safety (IBSP), with the objective of providing technical-scientific information about the standardized medications in the institution. The technical guidance was developed to support the multidisciplinary teams at the units.

According to the institution, the guide constitutes a fundamental instrument to support care practice, ensuring safe medication use and improving overall care at the units under INDSH management.

Low bone volume hinders implants, but there are options available

A 2019 IBGE survey reveals that 34 million Brazilian adults have lost 13 or more teeth, and 14.1 million have no teeth at all. Among elderly people aged 60 or over, nearly one third has lost all teeth. The problem is that without the tooth, the alveolar bone that supported it loses up to 50% of its width in the first year after extraction, making it difficult to place dental implants. However, there are techniques and treatment options available for patients with low bone volume, according to dental implant specialists.

Should you wash rice before cooking it? Here is the answer and the reason few people know

A study published in 2025 in the scientific journal 'Food Chemistry' analyzed whether it is necessary to wash rice before cooking it and found that washing can reduce the concentration of harmful heavy metals, such as cadmium and lead, by up to 50%. The research tested different varieties of rice, including white, brown and basmati, and also evaluated the impact on essential minerals, such as iron. The study used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for a detailed analysis of the multi-element bioaccessibility of long-grain rice, offering a perspective on the risks associated with arsenic and other elements.

Dr. Marco Demange performs MAKO surgery, unprecedented in Brazil

Dr. Marco Demange, orthopedist and associate professor at FMUSP, performed at Hospital Vila Nova Star, in São Paulo, the first unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with the MAKO robotic system in Brazil. The procedure marks the arrival in the country of a technology used internationally for 19 years in partial knee surgeries, with more than 240 thousand procedures performed worldwide. The technique is indicated for patients with osteoarthritis located in only one of the knee compartments, allowing specific treatment of the affected region while preserving healthy structures, unlike total prosthesis which replaces the entire joint.
