Paediatric pharmacy—drug therapy

S afe and effective drug treatment for children requires an understanding of the wide variability and constant changes in pharmacokinetic handling and pharmacodynamic response to drugs that occur during the time from birth to adulthood. An awareness of, and empathy with, the problems and challenges of drug administration throughout childhood is essential if the pharmacist is to be competent and confident in becoming part of the multidisciplinary team caring for paediatric patients and their families. Children are not just “small adults”, particularly when drug handling is considered; children are not “just children” either. Patients range from premature babies, born as early as 24 weeks gestation, to 18-yearold adolescents. They suffer from cardiac, respiratory, renal, and other system diseases, in the same way as adults. The “specialist” paediatric pharmacist usually also has to be a “generalist”. Recently, there has been international agreement on age groups to be used when considering medicines for children (see Panel 1, p50). These age groups are aimed at the pharmaceutical industry to help rationalise the licensing of medicines for children. They will avoid product licences having recommendations based on age bands, which have sometimes appeared to be arbitrarily chosen rather than being based on relevant physiological and pharmacokinetic principles.

Microbial evaluation of automated sorting systems in stone fruit packinghouses during peach packing

Automated fruit sorting systems with individual fruit carriers are utilized in modern fruit packing facilities. This study evaluated the levels of naturally occurring microflora on the surfaces of peaches and fruit carriers during automated sorting operations at stone fruit packinghouses in California. The study also assessed the growth potential of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes on fruit carriers under various environmental conditions. No difference of microbial loads was found on peaches (n=420) before, during, and after fruit sorting at seven packinghouses. The average surface total microbial, coliform, and yeast and mold levels of peaches during sorting were 3.6, 2.7, and 1.9 log CFU/cm, respectively. Environmental swab testing indicated routine cleaning of fruit carriers (n=192) reduced total microbes from 3.9 to 3.2 log CFU/cm (P=0.003) and coliforms from 1.5 to 0.9 log CFU/cm (P=0.001) on carriers' fruit contact surfaces. Laboratory exposures to temperature (22, 28, 34 or 40 °C) and humidity (65, 75, 85 or 95%) conditions significantly reduced inoculated Salmonella and Listeria on clean and commercially used (deposited with wax, fuzz, dirt, etc.) fruit carriers within 24 h (P < 0.001). The observed Salmonella reduction was greater on clean carriers (P < 0.001). On used carriers, Salmonella was persistent at 95% humidity and Listeria was persistent at 22 °C. The results showed the levels of surface microflora on peaches during fruit sorting, the reduction of microbial loads on fruit carriers due to packinghouses' cleaning, and the reduction, rather than growth, of Salmonella and Listeria under tested conditions on fruit carriers.
Intruder Alert? How Stock Markets React to Potential IT Security Breaches: The Case of OpenSSL Heartbleed

This exploratory study investigates how potential information technology security breaches affect stock prices. Previous research indicates that stock markets tend to punish firms that experience unsolicited disclosure of information and proprietary data. However, little research exists on the question of whether firms are punished for creating the mere potential for data theft. Based on the information boundary theory, we design our exploratory research model. Subsequently, we utilize a sample of 4,147 stocks of firms headquartered in 43 countries to conduct multiple event studies. We reveal a delayed adverse stock market response to potential IT security breaches as well as a discrimination among firms operating in different industries. Consequently, this work enhances the understanding of the full economic impact of information security measures by shedding light on previously neglected hidden costs.
Uruguay waterprimrose control with herbicides

Uruguay waterprimrose [Ludwigia hexapetala (Hook. & Arn.) Zardini, Gu. , & Raven] is an aggressive plant native to South America. Although it has been present in the United States for many years, it has rapidly increased over the last decade, especially in California and Florida. In many situations, the plant’s extensive creeping stem biomass has generally resulted in limited control. Studies were conducted in mesocosms in Florida to examine both new active ingredients and commonly used tank mixes for control of both aboveand below-water biomass. Aminopyralid, imazamox alone and in combination with flumioxazin, and glyphosate alone and in combination with flumioxazin or 2,4-D provided effective shoot control at 60 d after treatment (DAT) following winter and spring applications. florpyrauxifen-benzyl (benzyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-fluoropyridine-2-carboxylate) provided good initial control at 35 DAT, but regrowth was similar to the nontreated control at 60 DAT. No herbicide treatment resulted in effective control of below-water biomass. These studies suggest Uruguay waterprimrose shoot growth may be controlled with multiple selective and nonselective options. However, below-water biomass control will likely be much more difficult. Based on results of this study, future work should focus on seasonality of treatment and sequential treatment intervals to address the below-water biomass issue.
Science generates limit paradoxes March 18 , 2015

The sciences occasionally generate discoveries that undermine their own assumptions. Two such discoveries are characterized here: the discovery of apophenia by cognitive psychology and the discovery that physical systems cannot be locally bounded within quantum theory. It is shown that such discoveries have a common structure and that this common structure is an instance of Priest’s well-known Inclosure Schema. This demonstrates that science itself is dialetheic: it generates limit paradoxes. How science proceeds despite this fact is briefly discussed, as is the connection between our results and the realism-antirealism debate. We conclude by suggesting a position of epistemic modesty.
Four modes of Europeanization: How the EU influences renewables policy

Europeanization is a circular process, where European integration influences processes at the national level, which in turn influence European integration. This paper conceptualizes four different relationships between the EU and national level policy developments. These modes of Europeanization include: constrained creativity, hard bargaining, frozen Europeanization and coercive Europeanization. Being interested in mixes of renewable energy policies in European countries, we explore which modes of Europeanization that characterize the development of renewable energy policy in the EU, trying also to find out whether some of these modes are more common than others. The focus is on six European countries, which represent two different types of policy mixes: France, Germany, Poland and the UK have a renewables technology-specific policy mix. In contrast, Sweden and Norway have technologyneutral support policies. The purpose of the study is to find out: To what extent and how the different Europeanization modes contribute to explain the countries’ policy mixes? Based on a qualitative approach, we find that EU-national relations that are dominated by constrained creativity, hard bargaining and coercive pressures have been most likely to move towards a technology-specific policy mix, while the relations characterized by frozen Europeanization have chosen technology-neutral support policies.

Topic-based historical information selection for personalized sentiment analysis

In this paper, we present a selection approach designed for personalized sentiment analysis with the aim of extracting related information from a user’s history. Analyzing a person’s past is key to modeling individuality and understanding the current state of the person. We consider a user’s expressions in the past as historical information, and target posts from social platforms for which Twitter texts are chosen as exemplary. While implementing the personalized model PERSEUS, we observed information loss due to the lack of ﬂexibility regarding the design of the input sequence. To compensate this issue, we provide a procedure for information selection based on the similarities in the topics of a user’s historical posts. Evaluation is conducted comparing diﬀerent similarity measures, and improvements are seen with the proposed method.
Strengthening human resources for Primary Health Care : Primary Health Care : systems support

This chapter reviews the progress made in recent years to strengthen human resources to deliver health care within a Primary Health Care approach. It focuses specifically on the availability and preparedness of old and new cadres of health workers, their distribution within the South African health system, as well as their training and development. Findings suggest that overall the health workforce is substantially weaker today than it was in the mid-1990s. There are fewer doctors and nurses available for the vast majority of public sector dependent population, as production has not kept up with population growth, increasing care needs and attrition. Disparities between provinces remain, and disparities between the private and public sectors have grown. The nursing sector faces a serious crisis brought on by an aging professional population. Progress with the development of mid-level cadres has been slow, with pharmacy being the exception. Furthermore, the implementation of community health worker programmes remains fragmented and uneven. Importantly, while there has been curriculum reform in many medical schools, there has been no fundamental shift in the orientation and resourcing of health professions. Health workers entering primary or community care services, thus, often remain ill-prepared and find themselves poorly supported and resourced. It is suggested that the following areas must be a priority in the human resource agenda in coming years : an accelerated production of professionals and mid-level cadres; comprehensive curriculum audits; the regulation and integration of community health workers; and an integrated and comprehensive reconfiguration of Primary Health Care teams.
Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Arms

Deep vein thrombosis is often regarded as a disease limited of the veins of the lower extremities, which may sometimes – in more severe cases extend to the pelvic veins. Although this holds true for over 90% of all thromboses, clinically relevant thromboses may be found in virtually every vein system of the body. Of these uncommon localisations of thromboses, deep vein thrombosis of the arms is one of the most frequent entities, accounting for about 5% of all thromboses (Munoz et al., 2008; Isma et al., 2010). Most cases of deep arm vein thrombosis develop secondary in patients with indwelling central venous catheters, pacemakers, malignant disease, or after surgery. Conversely, primary upper extremity deep venous thrombosis is observed in patients after strenuous arm exercise (“thrombosis par effort”), in thoracic outlet syndrome and inherited or acquired thrombophilia (Bernardi et al., 2006). Acute and long-time complications of upper extremity thrombosis may be significant and include pulmonary embolism, post-thrombotic syndrome and recurrent thromboembolism. In this chapter, the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, treatment and prevention of thromboses of the upper extremity will be reviewed. It is not unusual to find thromboses of proximal arm veins and deep veins of the neck region at the same time. Therefore, thromboses of the internal jugular vein, which are also most often observed in the presence of indwelling central venous catheters, will also be discussed. In this review, special emphasis will be given to the practical aspects of the disease, like risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of arm vein thrombosis. For a detailed, comprehensive overview of pathophysiological mechanisms, the reader will be referred to other, excellent reviews within this field.
Spatial and temporal distribution of Plecoptera larvae in the Prishtina River (Kosova)

In this paper the spatial and temporal distribution of Plecoptera larvae in the Prishtina River (Kosova) was studied. Surber samples were taken every month during a one-year period at six selected stations. The results showed variability on the presence of Plecoptera in respect to temporal, spatial and anthropogenic factors. Seven different families of Plecoptera were found (Nemouridae, Capniidae, Perlodidae, Perlidae, Leuctridae, Chloroperlidae and Taeniopterigidae) with 23 taxa and 588 individuals.
Organisation and performance in renal anaemia management

Introduction Performance in healthcare systems is under constant scrutiny, with particular focus on safety, quality and efficiency. The management of many long-term diseases involves complex patterns of care processes. However, the mechanisms by which this works are poorly understood, with care pathways reflecting pre-determined, linear processes. Renal anaemia is a significant complication of chronic kidney disease that is expensive to treat and is associated with reduced quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. There is wide variation between the clinical performance measures of centres for renal anaemia management, which researchers and practitioners have suggested is due to differences in organisation. Aims and objectives This research explores the features of high and low performing renal anaemia management services to build evidence for their improvement. Methods A multiple case studies approach examining anaemia management at eight renal centres with high and low performance was used. Data were collected using observation, interview and document sampling. The Unified Modelling Language was employed to define an abstract framework of the renal anaemia management service. A thematic analysis explored factors considered influential in the process and performance of renal anaemia management. Results System latency and reliability, regular communication and trust between decision makers all appear significant in producing high performance. The group of activities and coordination mechanisms used to manage renal anaemia in haemodialysis patients in high performing centres reflect these features. The current tax regime encourages practice that has neither quality nor efficiency at its core. Discussion The findings provide an important platform for performance improvement in renal anaemia management. In addition, the process modelling represents a departure from the major body of such work in healthcare, using a richer language to represent the complex and adaptive nature of healthcare systems. Therefore, the approach presented here may be a useful template for future work in this field.
TGF-β Signaling in Cellular Senescence and Aging-Related Pathology

Aging is broadly defined as the functional decline that occurs in all body systems. The accumulation of senescent cells is considered a hallmark of aging and thought to contribute to the aging pathologies. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates a myriad of cellular processes and has important roles in embryonic development, physiological tissue homeostasis, and various pathological conditions. TGF-β exerts potent growth inhibitory activities in various cell types, and multiple growth regulatory mechanisms have reportedly been linked to the phenotypes of cellular senescence and stem cell aging in previous studies. In addition, accumulated evidence has indicated a multifaceted association between TGF-β signaling and aging-associated disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, muscle atrophy, and obesity. The findings regarding these diseases suggest that the impairment of TGF-β signaling in certain cell types and the upregulation of TGF-β ligands contribute to cell degeneration, tissue fibrosis, inflammation, decreased regeneration capacity, and metabolic malfunction. While the biological roles of TGF-β depend highly on cell types and cellular contexts, aging-associated changes are an important additional context which warrants further investigation to better understand the involvement in various diseases and develop therapeutic options. The present review summarizes the relationships between TGF-β signaling and cellular senescence, stem cell aging, and aging-related diseases.
AN APPROACH TO PARAMETRISATION OF COASTAL SOURCES OF MICROPLASTICS PARTICLES IN NUMERICAL MODELS

An overview of modern approaches to the problem of parametrisation of sources of marine waters microplastics pollution from the coastline is conducted. The estimates of Europe’s plastic production along with mismanaged plastic waste percentage that might be the source of microplastics particles input to marine environment are presented. A semiempirical formulation for the particles source intensity is suggested. It considers the main factors of local anthropogenic pressure for the coastal spot location for the given coordinates. Both advantages and disadvantages of such an approach along with possible ways for improvement are discussed.
An Investigation on the Anaerobic Metabolism of Nephtys hombergii

In Nephtys hombergii Savigny (Annelida: Polychaeta: Errantia), succinate and less pronounced L-alanine are accumulated as endproducts during an initial phase of anaerobiosis. In this phase aspartate is utilized as substrate for anaerobic energy production in addition to glycogen. Prolonged anaerobiosis results in the formation of propionate and acetate which, to a large extent, are excreted into the water. The concentrations of aspartate and succinate were found to remain unchanged down to a Pwo2 (oxygen partial pressure in incubation water) of approximately 20 torr, indicating a fully aerobic metabolism. At a Pwo2 of 15 torr characteristic changes can be observed: energy production becomes partially anaerobic. At a Pwo2 of 7 torr the level of aspartate is largely reduced, but the accumulation of succinate is still significantly less than at anoxia. [In the habitat of N. hombergii, the intertidal mud flats, a Pwo~ in the range from 0 torr (Pamatmat, 1968) to 12 torr (Wells and Warren, 1975) was measured. ] The activities of some important enzymes involved in anaerobic energy production (among them pyruvate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and lactate dehydrogenase) were measured. Although N. hombergii has a high glycolytic capacity, no lactate dehydrogenase was detected. Instead strombine and alanopine dehydrogenases were present in comparatively high activities.
Destruction Mechanism of ZnAl4 as Cast Alloy Subjected to Cavitational Erosion Using Different Laboratory Stands

The main reason of a cavitational destruction is the mechanical action of cavitation pulses onto the material’s surface. The course of cavitation destruction process is very complex and depends on the physicochemical and structural features of a material. A resistance to cavitation destruction of the material increases with the increase of its mechanical strength, fatigue resistance as well as hardness. Nevertheless, the effect of structural features on the material’s cavitational resistance has been not fully clarified. In the present paper, the cavitation destruction of ZnAl4 as cast alloy was investigated on three laboratory stands: vibration, jet-impact and flow stands. The destruction mechanism of ZnAl4 as cast alloy subjected to cavitational erosion using various laboratory stands is shown in the present paper.
The association between hypoxia, chronic ischemia and alters prostate structure and progress of chronic prostatic disease

Chronic prostatitis today shows high level of relapses and recurrent pathological events even if using the best pharmacological therapy. A better understanding of physiopathological effect of ischemic hypoxic condition (pelvic, prostate tissue) and the lymphatic congestion in same body region contribute in evolution of a complex condition. The same focusing the strategy in biofilm reduction or in leukocyte infiltration can be a right way to reduce relapses and progression of the prostatic disease. Hypoxia is also related to prostatic cancer progression and prostatic biofilm if responsible of making a new microenvironment often drug resistance. A deep knowledge in this kind of phenomena can improve the clinical effect of drug therapy.
Dystocia due to Maternal deformed pelvis in a Cattle and its management

Dystocia in cattle is common due to uterine and foetal origin and if corrective measures like foetal mutation and extraction has failed, caesarean operation is recommended. But dystocia due to maternal deformed pelvis is very rare and there is no other alternative except caesarean operation to save the life of dam as well as foetus. The paper deals with an successful emergency caesarean operation in field condition at night in a primipara cattle due to deformed maternal pelvis. The chances of success in such type of caesarean operation in field condition depends on proper counselling of owner, prompted decision and the surgical protocol followed.
