Visita interprofissional da cardiologia: uma estratégia de educação interprofissional na área da saúde na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

The interprofessional education still represents a great challenge for the health education. This paper aims at implementing the Interprofessional Cardiology Visit (VIC, acronym in Portuguese) as a teaching strategy for the interprofessional education in the undergraduate and graduate courses of UFRN (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, acronym in Portuguese). It is a prospective and exploratory study held from March 2013 to November 2014, in the cardiology department of HUOL (Portuguese acronym for Onofre Lopes University Hospital), including health professionals from the mentioned hospital (doctor, psycologist, physiotherapist, dentist, social assistant, nutritionist, pharmacist and nurse), undergraduate and graduate students from the health courses of UFRN. The study happened in three parts: interprofessional activity planning; Implementation of the activity “Interprofessional Cardiology Visit (VIC)”; and Activity evaluation, this last one was made through focus groups. The process of planning and implementation of the VIC was described during the implementation phase: 60 meetings in which 1324 participants discussed one specific patient per meeting. After each case presentation, an interprofessional discussion was held, pointing out each professional’s specific point of view towards improving the overall care of that discussed patient. From the focus group analysis, five categories emerged: Recognition of previous participations in interprofessional activities; Conceptual vision of interprofessional activities; Impacts of the VIC to the patient’s care; Contributions of VIC to the professional training; and Challenges of VIC continuation. The making and planning of VIC process has reached its goals, despite of some health professional’s participation not being systematic due to work overload, such as the nurses’ case, as well as schedule difficulties. The VIC was praised as a successful experience and considered an initiative with positive impact for improving the care of patients with heart diseases. It is clear, from analyzing the discourses, that the VIC is a strategy which positively impacts both the care and the teaching. However, some difficulties remain, such as the lack of human resources and the challenge of making it systematic.

Desenvolvimento biotecnológico de uma emulsão de uso tópico a base de óleo de rã-touro Rana catesbeiana Shaw

The skin is one of the largest organs of the human body and accounts for about 16% of body weight. The body protection against the external environment microorganisms is one of its most important functions, however is necessary that the skin remain intact for this function be exercised, so that when there is an injury on the skin, the process of restructuring needs to be starts, however this restructuration may also be compromised due to some diseases, justifying even more the need for the development of topical products that promote or accelerate the skin healing. Thus the aim of this study was to extract bullfrog oil and to develop a suitable topical emulsion. Two different oil samples were extracted by hot or organic solvent process. Titration techniques and gas chromatography- mass spectrometry were used to characterize the bullfrog oil. The required hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLBr) of bullfrog oil was determined and a pseudo-ternary phase diagram was constructed. The stability of the topical emulsion was evaluated. Then, cellular viability was determined by MTT assay using normal fibroblasts (3T3) and melanoma (B16F10) cells lines. The hot extraction yield was 60.6%. The major polyunsaturated compounds found were Eicosapentaenoic acid (17.6%) and Arachidonic acid (8.4%). HLBr study demonstrated the presence of stable systems with HLB ranging from 12.1 to 13.5 and the pseudo-ternary phase diagram showed mainly emulsion systems (62%). Topical emulsion showed 390 nm, polydispersity 0.05, zeta potential -25 mV and remained stable for ninety days. The bullfrog oil and topical emulsion did not showed citotoxicity in normal fibroblasts cells. However, these systems showed significantly inhibition of melanoma cells growth. In conclusion, the bullfrog oil presented desirable chemical characteristics required to be used for the development of a pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

Aportación a la historia de la farmacia en la provincia de Orense

A principios del S.XX; en el año 1911, en la ciudad de Orense sólo existían ocho farmacias, las de Luis Fábrega Coello, en el Progreso; la de Ramón Aldemira en Hernán Cortés; la de José Fernández Martínez en el Progreso; la de Emilio Meruéndano Pérez en la Plaza Mayor; la de José Francisco Salgado en la calle Bailén; la de Serafín Temes en la Plaza del Hierro y la de Aurelio Fernández Román en el barrio del Puente Mayor, entonces Municipio de Canedo. Con el transcurso de los años, se dieron dos acontecimientos importantes; el represamiento de los cauces de los ríos, aprovechado para la generación de electricidad, y la gran inversión en líneas de ferrocarril que servían de comunicación de Galicia con la Península; esto provocó la expansión de la ciudad y con ella una mayor actividad que, junto a la creación del Colegio Oficial de Farmacéuticos de Ourense provocó un incremento de las farmacias en la provincia, pasando de 56 en 1918 a 126 en 1949...

Projeto de mestrado para implementação de um sistema de gestão da qualidade em farmácia comunitária

Nos últimos anos, a Qualidade em Instituições de saúde tem sido um tema relevante. O conceito de qualidade tem várias definições, sendo um conceito difícil de medir e definir. A Qualidade é uma ferramenta cada vez mais almejada pelas instituições que prestam cuidados de saúde e neste caso particular pela Farmácia Comunitária. Essa procura advém da necessidade de garantir um atendimento aos utentes cada vez mais eficaz e eficiente, capaz de satisfazer as suas reais necessidades e expectativas, por meio da otimização de processos e economização de recursos, tornando-se, por isso, uma prioridade nas áreas onde os farmacêuticos operam. O objetivo deste projeto é clarificar e explicar as etapas para a implementação de um Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade, com base na Norma ISO 9001:2008, numa Farmácia Comunitária, encorajando toda a equipa e promovendo o empenho e envolvência de todos nas práticas de gestão integrada da qualidade e nas estratégias de melhoria contínua. A Implementação de um Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade com base na norma ISO 9001:2008 poderá ter um impacto muito positivo, contribuindo não apenas para a melhoria da qualidade interna da organização, nas suas diversas vertentes, como também para a focalização nos seus clientes, melhorando ainda mais a qualidade dos serviços prestados, demonstrando ser relevante para a saúde, para a forma como os recursos humanos se organizam em torno do trabalho e para racionalização dos recursos. Desta forma se demonstra o valor desta ferramenta na gestão, eficácia e segurança no sistema de utilização do medicamento em Farmácia Comunitária.

The evolving profile, role and relevance of the medical director in a pharmaceutical company

Over the last years, operations in Pharmaceutical Companies have become more complex, trying to adapt to new demands of the market environment. Overall, the observed change of paradigm requires adapting, mainly by the setting of new priorities, diversification of investments, cost containment strategies, exploring new markets and developping new sets of skills. In this context, new functions have been created, the relevance of some has diminished, and the importance of others has arisen. Amongst these, the medical structure within a Pharmaceutical Company, increased to meet demands, with companies adopting different models to respond to these needs, and becoming a pillar to the business. Assuming the leading role within a medical department, the medical director function often lies in the shadow. It is a key function within Pharma Industry, either on a country or on a Global basis. It has evolved and changed in the past years to meet the constant demands of a changing environment. The Medical Director is a highly skilled and differeniated professional who provides medical and scientific governance within a Pharmaceutical company, since early stages of drug development and up to loss of exclusivity, not only but also by leading a team of other physicians, pharmacists or life scientists whose functions comprise specificities that the medical director needs to understand, provide input to, oversee and lead. As the organization of Pharmaceutical Companies tends to be different, in accordance to values, culture, markets and strategies, the scope of activities of a Medical Director can be broader or may be limited, depending on size of the organization and governance model, but they must fulfil a large set of requirements in order to leverage impact on internal and internal customers. Key technical competencies for medical directors such as an MD degree, a strong clinical foundation, knowledge of drug development, project and team management experience and written and verbal skills are relatively easy to define, but underlying behavioural competencies are more difficult to ascertain, and these are more often the true predictors of success in the role. Beyond seamless proficiency in technical skills, at this level interpersonal skills become far more important, as they are the driver and the distinctive factor between a good and an excelent medical director. And this has impact in the business and in the people doing it.

Modelo para la creación de un portal en internet que les facilite a los laboratorios farmaceúticos la promoción médica a través del uso de medios virtuales

La presente investigación se realizó con el propósito de desarrollar un modelo que fuera la base para que los laboratorios farmacéuticos puedan orientar su promoción médica hacia el uso de los recursos tecnológicos actuales como es el internet. Además de proveer un mapa conceptual de los pasos que deben seguir los laboratorios para pasar de los medios tradicionales de promoción médica (Brick) a los medios virtuales e interactivos (Click) a través de la red, es decir, actualmente la promociónmédica se hace a través de los canales tradicionales de comercialización; a esta forma la llamamos "Brick", pero nuestra propuesta permite crear una estrategia para que el laboratorio transforme la promoción médica a través de las tecnologías de comunicación, como el internet, creando un nuevo canal de comercialización, "Click", virtual, en línea. El modelo puede ser aplicado por cualquier laboratorio farmacéutico y no tiene ninguna exclusividad, puesto que es genérico; los principios aplicadosson de conocimiento público. Lo que haría la diferencia entre unportal y otro sería la forma como cada laboratorio enfrente el diseño y la implementación del mismo.

Medicinal Water? The occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments A short communication

Although very little is known about the transport, fate and toxic effects of medical compounds in aquatic environments, the presence of these compounds in potable water sources can no longer be overlooked. We can argue that trace concentrations of drugs in the water is relatively a minor problem, however, the current and future demands on global potable freshwater supplies will probably lead to greater incidents of indirect and direct water-reuse situations at the local, regional, and cross-border levels. It is important to remark that the solution of this emerging ecological issue does not rely on new and better wastewater treatment technologies, but a new paradigm of responsibility and the understanding of the relations between anthropogenic actions and their ecological effects as well. The objective of this brief communication is to present the state of the art of research conducted in the last decade in Europe and United States concerning the presence of pharmaceuticals products in aquatic environments.
