RESUMO
Biomaterials come from natural sources such as animals, plants, fungi, algae, and bacteria, composed mainly of protein, lipid, and carbohydrate molecules. The great diversity of biomaterials makes these compounds promising for developing new products for technological applications. In this sense, antioxidant biomaterials have been developed to exert biological and active functions in the human body and industrial formulations. Furthermore, antioxidant biomaterials come from natural sources, whose components can inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, these materials incorporated with antioxidants, mainly from plant sources, have important effects, such as anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antitumor, and anti-aging, in addition to increasing the shelf-life of products. Aiming at the importance of antioxidant biomaterials in different technological segments as biodegradable, economic, and promising sources, this review presents the main available biomaterials, antioxidant sources, and assigned biological activities. In addition, potential applications in the biomedical and industrial fields are described with a focus on innovative publications found in the literature in the last five years.
RESUMO
Trata-se de um relato de experiência relativo às estratégias e ações adotadas para a integração ensino-serviço, com a finalidade de contribuir no processo de formação profissional na área da saúde, em consonância com as diretrizes e princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). O trabalho aborda as descobertas, os avanços, as potencialidades, as dificuldades e os pontos críticos encontrados, assim como as experiências bem-sucedidas e a sustentabilidade vivenciada no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde com os programas Pró-Saúde e PET-Saúde.
This is a case report on an experience with strategies and actions for the integration of learning and health services, with the aim of contributing to professional training in health, in keeping with the guidelines and principles of the Unified National Health System (SUS). The study addresses the discoveries, advances, potentialities, difficulties, and critical points, as well as successful experiences and sustainability in the context of Primary Healthcare with the Pró-Saúde and PET-Saúde programs.
