    [Sample Rolaids Advertisement for the U.S. Tobacco Journal, 1976]

    No full text
    Sample of what a Rolaids advertisement would have looked like in the 1976 U.S. Tobacco Journal. It is part of the "How Do You Spell Relief?" advertisements, created by the Ted Bates Agency for the American Chicle Company. The famed slogan was created by Jack Kendrick, a copywriter for the Ted Bates Agency throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. The full slogan is as follows; "How Do You Spell Relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S." Rolaids is an American brand of calcium and magnesium-based antacid produced by Procter & Gamble. Invented in the 1920s, the antacid is best known and remembered for the slogan created by Kendrick in the 1970s

    PROTECTED-UK – Clinical pharmacist interventions in the UK critical care unit: exploration of relationship between intervention, service characteristics and experience level

    No full text
    PURPOSE: Clinical pharmacist (CP) interventions from the PROTECTED-UK cohort, a multi-site critical care interventions study, were further analysed to assess effects of: time on critical care, number of interventions, CP expertise and days of week, on impact of intervention and ultimately contribution to patient care. METHODS: Intervention data were collected from 21 adult critical care units over 14 days. Interventions could be error, optimisation or consults, and were blind-coded to ensure consistency, prior to bivariate analysis. Pharmacy service demographics were further collated by investigator survey. KEY FINDINGS: Of the 20 758 prescriptions reviewed, 3375 interventions were made (intervention rate 16.1%). CPs spent 3.5 h per day (mean, ±SD 1.7) on direct patient care, reviewed 10.3 patients per day (±SD 4.2) and required 22.5 min (±SD 9.5) per review. Intervention rate had a moderate inverse correlation with the time the pharmacist spent on critical care (P = 0.05; r = 0.4). Optimisation rate had a strong inverse association with total number of prescriptions reviewed per day (P = 0.001; r = 0.7). A consultant CP had a moderate inverse correlation with number of errors identified (P = 0.008; r = 0.6). No correlation existed between the presence of electronic prescribing in critical care and any intervention rate. Few centres provided weekend services, although the intervention rate was significantly higher on weekends than weekdays. CONCLUSIONS: A CP is essential for safe and optimised patient medication therapy; an extended and developed pharmacy service is expected to reduce errors. CP services should be adequately staffed to enable adequate time for prescription review and maximal therapy optimisation

    Tomopterus obliquus Bates 1870

    <i>Tomopterus obliquus</i> Bates, 1870 <p> Monné (2005) recorded on <i>T. obliquus</i>: “Distribution — French Guiana, Brazil (Pará, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Bahia to Rio de Janeiro), Peru.” This geographical distribution follows Magno (1995). Bates (1870) wrote: “Hab.—River Tapajos,” and Bates (1873) completed the information: “R. Tapajos, Amazons.” However, Tapajos River rises in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, surrounds part of the state of Pará and flows into Amazon River, still within the state of Pará. Thus, Monné (2005) was right when he recorded: “ Type locality — Brazil, Pará: Rio Tapajós. (MNHN).” Nevertheless, <i>T. obliquus</i> was formally recorded in the state of Amazonas (Brazil) by Aurivillius (1919).</p> <p> <b>Material examined.</b> BRAZIL, <i>Amazonas</i>: Manaus (Ducke Reserve, 26 km NE), 1 male, 1 female, XII.1988, J.
