Pharmaceutical care for patients with postoperative history

Surgical wounds are the most commonly treated wounds in today's global medical practice. Often, patients are not aware of exactly how they should treat their post-surgical wounds at home. A model for pharmaceutical care of patients with postoperative wounds was developed on the basis of literary sources and guidelines. The Life Value (LV) of the patients was evaluated using the generic SF12 v2 instrument.  SF12 v2 was administered to consulted patients and  not consulted patients in a control group. The results showed an improvement in all measured LV scores within the group of the consulted patients. Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare professionals and with their knowledge and competencies, they can contribute to the process

High-fructose diet and health

Introduction: In recent decades fructose has largely replaced sucrose as a sweetener in prepared foods and in carbonated soft drinks. Scientific researches reveal that high fructose diet may contribute to metabolic disturbances such as hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome and obesity.Aims: To investigate what part of the Bulgarian population use products, which contain fructose; to make an overview of the latest scientific data on the fructose effects on human health.Methods: An inquiry among students of Medical university of Varna was conducted and the data was processed; after a survey of various websites for biomedical literature, certain publications in recent years were selected and summarized.Results: Scientific studies from recent years expand our knowledge of the negative effects of high-fructose diet on human health. Fructose, consumed with mixed meals, results in altered levels of circulating insulin and leptin and to attenuated postprandial suppression of ghrelin. A big part of the population is not acquainted with the harmful effects of products with fructose.Conclusion: Excessive consumption of fructose may be one of the causes of health problems such as metabolic disturbances and obesity in the Bulgarian population
