A doença pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2), denominada COVID-19, apresentou rápida disseminação nos cinco continentes, e tem causado graves implicações sanitárias e socioeconômicas nos países afetados. Embora a maioria das pessoas afetadas apresente doença leve, pacientes vulneráveis podem ter pneumonia intersticial com complicações graves ou até mesmo fatais. O objetivo do presente estudo quali-quantitativo foi coletar e analisar, numa perspectiva homeopática, os sintomas da COVID-19, bem como identificar os medicamentos homeopáticos mais similares ao quadro sintomático da doença (identificação do gênio epidêmico). Foram entrevistados, por médicos homeopatas, 46 indivíduos provenientes de quatro regiões brasileiras (Fortaleza, Campo Grande, Florianópolis e São Paulo). Observou-se um padrão consistente de sintomas entre os diferentes centros, com pouca diferença quanto à frequência e intensidade nos sintomas. A análise da totalidade sintomática da amostra, com auxílio de diferentes técnicas repertoriais, identificou Arsenicum album, Phosphorus e Bryonia alba como medicamentos homeopáticos mais similares aos quadros clínicos nesta epidemia de COVID-19. Estes resultados podem fornecer informações subsidiárias aos estudos de intervenção que avaliam a efetividade e eficácia da Homeopatia na prevenção e tratamento da COVID-19.
The disease caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), denominated COVID-19, has spread rapidly across five continents, and has been causing serious health and socioeconomic implications for the affected countries. Although most affected individuals have mild illness, vulnerable patients can have interstitial pneumonia with serious or even fatal complications. The objective of the present qualitative and quantitative study was to collect and analyze, under a homeopathic perspective, the symptoms of COVID-19, as well as to identify the homeopathic remedies most similar to the symptomatic picture of the disease (epidemic genius method). Forty-six individuals from four Brazilian regions (Fortaleza, Campo Grande, Florianópolis and São Paulo) were interviewed by homeopathic physicians. There was a consistent pattern of symptoms between the different centers, with little difference in frequency and intensity of symptoms. The symptomatic analysis of the entire sample, with the aid of different repertoire techniques, indicated the homeopathic remedies Arsenicum album, Phosphorus and Bryonia alba as the epidemic genius for this COVID-19 epidemic. Our results may provide support information for the intervention experiments assessing the effectiveness of Homeopathy in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

Disruptions in the development of the nasal and oral structures lead to cleft palate and cleft lip. There are many different factors that can affect this development such as genetic, mechanical traumas or teratogeny. The oral clefts are one of the most common birth defects worldwide affecting approximately 1 in 700 to 1000 children. The development of oral clefts is multifactorial and affect a significant portion of the population. The study results showed that smoking is the risk factor most associated with oral clefts (OR 1.09 to 2.11) and the least associated is the ingestion of folic acid (OR 0.59). Many of the risk factors discussed in this article will show an increase in the development of oral clefts although, some of the data could not be effectively compared due to differences in the methodology of each study and the subjective measures used.
Las interrupciones en el desarrollo de las estructuras nasales y orales conducen al paladar hendido y labio leporino. Hay muchos factores diferentes que pueden afectar este desarrollo, tal como los traumas o teratogenia mecánica genética. Las hendiduras orales son uno de los defectos de nacimiento más comunes en todo el mundo y afectan aproximadamente a 1 de cada 700 a 1000 niños. El desarrollo de fisuras orales es multifactorial y afecta a una parte significativa de la población. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que el tabaquismo es el factor de riesgo que más se asocia con fisuras orales (OR 01,09 a 02,11) y el menos asociado es la ingestión de ácido fólico (OR 0,59). Muchos de los factores de riesgo descritos en este artículo demuestran un aumento en el desarrollo de fisuras orales. No obstante, algunos de los datos no pudieron ser comparados con eficacia debido a las diferencias en la metodología de cada estudio y las medidas subjetivas utilizadas.
