          Abstract

          Foi realizado um levantamento das plantas medicinais utilizadas pela população do município de Ipê, RS, Brasil, visando uma investigação da medicina tradicional, melhoramento e racionalização das práticas medicinais populares, em um projeto envolvendo voluntários da comunidade. Foram entrevistadas 114 pessoas, que mencionaram 252 plantas, das quais foram identificadas 105 espécies, agrupadas em 48 famílias. As plantas coletadas e identificadas foram analisadas, de acordo com dados químicos, farmacológicos e/ou toxicológicos encontrados na literatura científica. Os resultados obtidos mostram que a população deste município faz uso de plantas que, ainda, não foram alvo de pesquisa química, farmacológica e/ou toxicológica e, também, que a mesma faz uso de onze espécies, que são reconhecidamente, responsáveis por efeitos colaterais indesejados, ou ainda, que são tóxicas.

              Poisoning with plants and mushrooms in Sri Lanka: a retrospective hospital based study.

              A retrospective hospital-based study in Sri Lanka showed that out of 4556 cases of poisoning, 2.5% were caused by plants and mushrooms. Gloriosa superba (44%), and Ricinus communis (24%) were the commonest plants responsible for poisoning; 39% of the victims were less than 15 y old. Gastric lavage and iv fluids were the most common therapeutic measures used. There were 8 deaths, all due to G superba. There is a need for public education to prevent poisoning, which is a major health concern.
