Metodologia sistemática de monitorização e validação da prescrição terapêutica no doente pediátrico
No full textTrabalho Final de Mestrado Integrado, Ciências Farmacêuticas, 2022, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Farmácia.A falta de informação sobre utilização de medicamentos em pediatria continua a ser uma realidade, ainda que tenha havido um grande esforço nas últimas duas décadas para diminuir essa escassez de conhecimento. A população pediátrica é por si só heterogénea, sendo por isso subdivida em grupos etários que diferem em termos de tamanho, composição corporal, fisiologia e bioquímica o que tem impacto quando analisamos a farmacocinética e farmacodinâmica dos fármacos em pediatria, como será feito nesta monografia.
Os doentes pediátricos são mais suscetíveis a erros de medicação, o que reforça a importância da validação da prescrição pelo farmacêutico nesta população. Neste trabalho pretende-se analisar os erros de medicação que ocorrem de forma mais frequente na população pediátrica, assim como formas de os minimizar.
O objetivo deste trabalho é criar uma mnemónica associada a uma check list que contenha os parâmetros essenciais que não podem ser esquecidos pelos Farmacêuticos aquando da validação da prescrição terapêutica de doentes pediátricos. A finalidade é essencialmente tornar esta tarefa mais fácil e menos propicia a erros.
A utilização do acrónimo REMINDER permite que o farmacêutico hospitalar não se esqueça dos 8 passos essenciais a ter em conta quando faz a revisão da prescrição num doente pediátrico: Registo de Doentes; Estudo Antropométrico; Medicação Prescrita; Interações Medicamentosas; Nutrição e Fluidoterapia; Diagnósticos; Exames e análises clínicas; Reconciliação Terapêutica.
Após a implementação desta metodologia em Hospitais e unidades de cuidados de saúde, é essencial que se monitorize a eficácia que o método tem quantificando a qualidade da intervenção do farmacêutico através de Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).Lack of information on drug absorption and availability in pediatrics is still a reality, even though there has been a great effort in the last two decades to decrease the scarcity of information. The pediatric population is itself heterogeneous and is therefore subdivided into age groups that differ in terms of size, body composition, physiology, and biochemistry which has an impact when we analyze the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs in pediatrics, as we will do in this work.
Paediatrics are more prone to medication errors, which reinforces the importance of prescription validation by the pharmacist in this population. In this paper we will analyze the medication errors that occur most frequently in the pediatric population, as well as ways to minimize them.
The goal of this work is to create a mnemonic associated to a check list containing the essential parameters that cannot be forgotten by Hospital Pharmacists when validating the therapeutic prescription of pediatric patients. The purpose is to make this task easier and less error prone.
The use of the REMINDER mnemonic allows the hospital pharmacist not to forget the 8 essential steps when reviewing a pediatric patient's prescription: Patient Registration; Anthropometric Study; prescribed medication; drug interactions; nutrition and fluid therapy; Diagnostics; Exams and clinical analyses; therapeutic reconciliation.
After the implementation of this methodology in hospitals and health care units, it is essential to monitor the effectiveness of the method by quantifying the quality of the pharmacist's intervention through KPIs

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
