Tendo isso em vista, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia do uso de probióticos e lactulose em pacientes portadores de EH. Foi realizada busca pelos artigos em bases eletrônicas de dados, limitando-se ao período de 2014-2018. A estratégia de busca utilizou os termos: “hepatic encephalopathy”, “probiotics” e “lactulose”. Os critérios de inclusão determinados foram grupos de indivíduos sob uso de probióticos e/ou lactulose como terapia e controle(placebo). Dos 200 artigos levantados nas plataformas de pesquisa, apenas cinco trabalhos foram selecionados. De acordo com os estudos analisados, observou-se melhora significativa na recuperação, efeitos adversos e qualidade de vida dos indivíduos sob tratamento à base de probióticos em comparação ao uso de placebos ou à ausência de tratamento. Além disso, a concentração de amônia plasmática foi menor em pacientes tratados com probióticos comparados aos pacientes que fizeram uso de lactulose.Descritores: Amônia, Neurotransmissor, tratamento.Probiotcs and lactulose in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy - a systematicAbstract: With this in mind, the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics and lactulose in patients with HS. A search for articles was conducted on electronic data bases, limiting the period of 2014-2018. The search strategy used the terms: "Hepatic encephalopathy", "Probiotics" and "lactulose". The inclusion criteria were groups of individuals under the use of probiotics and/or lactulose as therapy and control (placebo). Of the 200 articles raised on the research platforms, only five papers were selected. According to the studies analyzed, there was a significant improvement in the recovery, adverse effects and quality of life of the individuals under treatment based on probiotics compared to the use of placebos or the absence of treatment. In addition, plasma ammonia concentration was lower in patients treated with probiotics compared to patients who made use of lactulose.Descriptors: Ammonia, Neurotransmitter, Treatment.Probióticos y lactulose en tratamiento de la encefalopatía hepática - una revisiónResumen: Con esto en mente, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la eficacia de los probióticos y lactulosa en pacientes con HS.

This review summarizes studies discussing vitamin D status in adults and reveals that vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is highly prevalent in adults and that current fortification and supplementation policies are inadequate. Background and aims: Studies suggest a crucial role for adequate vitamin D status in various health conditions including bone metabolism, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and allergies. However, relatively little is known about poor vitamin D status and unmet needs in adults. This report aims to highlight the contribution of epidemiologic studies (through the identification of health effects and societal burden) to the development of vitamin D fortification and supplementation policies and reveal unmet global challenges in adults. Methods: In order to assess worldwide vitamin D status in adults, the search strategy combined the medical literature database MEDLINE (using PubMed) for the time period between January 1, 1980 and February 28, 2011, using the key words vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, and included articles in which access to full text was possible and in which healthy adults were assessed according to one of four commonly used vitamin D threshold classifications. Results: This report reveals that vitamin D deficiency occurs in 4.10 % [95 % CI (confidence interval), 3.93 %, 4.27 %] to 55.05 % (54.07 %, 56.03 %) of adults, while insufficiency occurs in 26.07 % (24.82 %, 27.33 %) to 78.50 % (77.85 %, 79.16 %), depending on the classification used. However, lack of overlap in CIs and high value of I2 statistics indicate considerable heterogeneity between studies. Further, certain populations (i. e. dark-skinned individuals, immigrants, and pregnant women) may be at higher risk for poor vitamin D status. Conclusion: Current policies for vitamin D supplementation and fortification are inadequate and new guidelines are required to improve vitamin D status in adults.
