ABSTRACT
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has proved promising regarding its applicability in dermatology, especially in the healing of chronic ulcers. The autologous platelet-rich plasma is obtained by centrifuging the blood, so that the components are separated by density gradient. The final product is a gel rich in growth factors that act in tissue repair by activating fibroblasts and inducing extracellular matrix remodeling.

Säo analisadas, no material disponível, as principaiscondiçöes clínicas decorrentes de deficiências nutricionais em criança, adulto e idoso, visando as estratégias a serem empregadas em sua profilaxia e tratamento. Säo relacionadas as deficiências nutricionais específicas pelo uso de determinadas drogas no adulto e na criança, e discutidos os problemas da administraçäo de suplementos vitamínicos, nutricionais e, sobretudo, das formulaçöes ortomoleculares, que o grupo considera necessário ser objeto de debate para o próximo Congresso Brasileiro de Dermatologia. É abordada ainda a necessidade do uso da mídia para informaçäo à populaçäo de baixa renda sobre o assunto e da ênfase de sua induçäo como tema para investigaçöes nos cursos de graduaçäo da área médica.
