Impact of clinical pharmacist-led intervention for drug-related problems in neonatal intensive care unit a randomized controlled trial

Introduction: Drug-related problems (DRPs) incidence is higher in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), compared to other pediatric wards due to aspects like off-label medications, pharmacokinetic/dynamic variability, or organ dysfunction/immaturity. This study aimed to determine whether and to what extent a clinical pharmacist intervention improves medication safety and prevents DRPs [medication errors (MEs), adverse drug reactions (ADRs), drug-drug interactions (DDIs)]. Methods: A prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled study in NICU-admitted neonates was conducted. NICU patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (clinical pharmacist-led) (IG) or control group (standard care such as clinical diagnosis, pharmacotherapy) (CG). The clinical pharmacist was involved in the IG to identify-prevent-intervene MEs, or identify and monitor ADRs and DDIs. The primary outcome was the number of neonates who developed at least one DRP compared with those seen across IG and CG. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, total number of drugs or DRP type. Results: Neonates were randomly assigned to CG (n = 52) or IG (n = 48). In total, 45%, 42%, and 16% of patients had at least 1 MEs, ADRs, and clinically significant DDIs, respectively. The number of patients with at least 1 ME was 28 (53%) and 17 (35%) in the CG and IG (p&gt;0.05). The median (range) number of ME was higher in CG [1 (0–7)] than in IG [0 (0–4)] (p = 0.003). Applying regression analysis, the CG had 2.849 times more MEs than the IG (p&lt;0.001). Furthermore, the number of patients (CG to IG) with at least one detected ADR or clinical DDI was 19 (36%) to 23 (47%) (p&gt;0.05) and 4 (7%) to 12 (25%), respectively (p = 0.028). Conclusion: Clinical pharmacist availability to systematically and standardized identify, prevent and resolve DRPs among NICU patients is effective. Daily detailed clinical pharmacist observations and interventions enables prevention and monitoring of DRPs. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04899960.</p

In the gastronomy and culinary arts educated students level of variety seeking tendecy: example of Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli university

Beslenme olgusu insanlar için vazgeçemeyecekleri derecede önemli olan bir konudur. Hayatın devam edebilmesi için insanların beslenmesi gerekmektedir. İnsanların beslenme tarzlarını tercih ettikleri yiyecekler oluşturmaktadır. İnsanların tercih ettiği yiyeceklere alışması sonuncunda yeni yiyeceklere karşı tutumu farklılık göstermektedir. Alışılmış yiyecekleri tercih etme durumu, beslenme açısından kolaylık sağlasa da zamanla beslenme şekli döngü haline gelmektedir. Bu tutum insanlarda, yeni yiyecekleri denemede ve tüketmede isteksiz davranmaya neden olabilmektedir. Özellikle yiyecek ve içecek sektörü içerisinde çalışan mutfak personellerinin, bu gibi tutum sergilemesi mesleki açıdan büyük bir dezavantaj sergilemektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı gelecekte şef /aşçıbaşı adayı olan; Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesi Turizm Fakültesi Gastronomi ve Mutfak Sanatları Bölümü öğrencilerinin, yiyecekte çeşitlilik arayışı düzeylerini Van Trijp ve Steenkamp (1992) tarafından geliştirilmiş olan “Yiyecekte Çeşitlilik Arayışı Ölçeği” ile ölçmektir. Bu amaçla; Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesi Tur izm Fakültesi Gastronomi ve Mutfak Sanatları Bölümüne kayıtlı 202 öğrenci ile yüzyüze görüşme yöntemiyle desteklenmiş anket çalışması uygulanmıştır. Toplanan veriler, istatistik değerlendirme ve analiz programı aracılığıyla analiz edilerek yorumlanmıştır. Çalışma sonunda elde edilen veriler ışığında önerilerde bulunulmuştur.Nutrition is an important issue that people cannot give up. For life to continue, people need to be fed. People's diet forms their preferred food. As people become accustomed to the foods they prefer, their attitude towards new foods varies. Although the preference for conventional foods provides convenience in terms of nutrition, the diet becomes a cycle over time. This attitude can cause people to be reluctant to try and consume new foods. Such an attitude of the kitchen staff especially working in the food and beverage sector presents a great disadvantage in terms of occupation. For this reason, the aim of this study is measure to variety seeking tendecy of future chef’s / cook’s candidate; Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, Faculty of Tourism Gastronomy and Culinary Arts Department students' quest for variety seeking tendecy in food by Van Trijp and Steenkamp (1992) developed by the "Variety Seeking Tendecy Scale". For this purpose; A questionnaire was administered to 202 students enrolled in Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, Faculty of Tourism, Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted through statistical evaluation and analysis program. Suggestions were made in the light of the data obtained at the end of the study

An evaluation of Türkiye livestock congresses (1968-2000)

Eight livestock congresses were held between 1968-2000 under the Turkish Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA) leadership to improve animal husbandry in Türkiye. In these congresses, besides problems in the livestock sector, issues related to the production and consumption of animal products were also discussed. The aim was for the organizers and participants to be composed of different fields related to animal husbandry and thus address the issue from every perspective. The establishment of an autonomous "Ministry of Livestock" was demanded in all congresses. Problems and solution proposals regarding animal husbandry in Türkiye were scientifically discussed with veterinarians, producers, industrialists, consumers, and government representatives. As a result, this study, which was carried out to evaluate the issues addressed in Türkiye Livestock Congresses and contribute to the determination of the problems and solutions of the livestock sector, can shed light on the resolution of today's livestock problems

Research on the report of Professor Rostafinski as a sample of scientific cooperation in animal breeding in the first years of the Republic of Turkey

Reconstructing the veterinary services was added to the agenda at the (National) Economy Congress in Izmir in 1923. Scientists from abroad wereinvited for their advice on animal diseases and animal breeding. Polish Professor Rostafinski was invited by Şükrü Kaya, the Minister of Agricultureduring that period. Rostafinski came to Turkey in November 1924. After his researches on husbandry in Western Anatolia, he presented his opinionsin a 31- page report to the Ministry of Agriculture. He advised that pedigree records of horses should be tracked, horse raising should be adopted asa government policy. For cattle, it is important to determine the needs of the peasants. This study aims to identify the husbandry conditions in thatperiod concerning the report on the husbandry in Western Anatolia.</p

The Evaluation of Macular Thickness Changes Measured by Optic Coherens Tomography After Uneventful Phacoemulsification Surgery in Patients with and without Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Pur po se: To evaluate the changes in macular thickness measured with Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) following uneventful phacoemulsification surgery in patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). Ma te ri al and Met hod: 76 eyes of 68 patients planned for phacoemulsification surgery were included in our prospective study. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A - 38 eyes with PES and Group B - 38 eyes without additional pathology. Cases with peroperative complication were not included. At the end of the surgery, ultrasound time (UST), effective phaco time (EPT) and the average percentage phaco power (AVG) were noted. Ophthalmologic examination was performed and macular thickness was measured by FD-OCT at 1 week, 1 and 6 months after surgery. Age, EPT, UST, AVG and macula thickness changes with OCT were statistically evaluated using student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Re sults: The mean age was 71.2±9.01 years; 33 patients (48.5%) were female and 35 (51.5%) - male. There was no statistically significant difference in age, EPT, UST, AVG values between the groups (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant increase in central macular thickness, foveal, parafoveal and perifoveal macular thickness at first week in both groups (p>0.05). Perifoveal and parafoveal macular thicknesses in the PES group were found statistically lower than in the control group at first and sixth months (p: 0.006, p: 0.010, p: 0.036, p: 0.009). Dis cus si on: PES was not found to be a risk factor for subclinical macular thickness increase or cystoid macular edema after uneventful phacoemulsification surgery.
