Appendix a Common Abbreviations Used in Medication
UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM MASTERS THESIS Impact of Medication Grouping on Fall Risk Prediction in Elders: A Retrospective Analysis of MIMIC-III Critical Care Database Student: SRP Mentor: Noman Dormosh Dr. Martijn C. Schut Student No. 11412682 – SRP Tutor: Prof. dr. Ameen Abu-Hanna SRP Address: Amsterdam University Medical Center - Location AMC Department Medical Informatics Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam Practice teaching period: November 2018 - June 2019 A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medical Informatics iii Abstract Background: Falls are the leading cause of injury in elderly patients. Risk factors for falls in- cluding among others history of falls, old age, and female gender. Research studies have also linked certain medications with an increased risk of fall in what is called fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs), such as psychotropics and cardiovascular drugs. However, there is a lack of consistency in the definitions of FRIDs between the studies and many studies did not use any systematic classification for medications. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of grouping medications at different levels of granularity of a medication classification system on the performance of fall risk prediction models. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-III cohort database. We created seven prediction models including demographic, comorbidity and medication variables. Medica- tions were grouped using the anatomical therapeutic chemical classification system (ATC) starting from the most specific scope of medications and moving up to the more generic groups: one model used individual medications (ATC level 5), four models used medication grouping at levels one, two, three and four of the ATC and one model did not include med- ications. -
Constipation: a Parent's Guide
CONSTIPATION: A PARENT’S GUIDE Twenty Questions About Constipation: Answers to Guide Parents and Professionals Constipation is the abnormally delayed or infrequent passage of hard stools. Most children, and many adults, too, become constipated from time to time. Often, the duration is short; occasionally it persists for months, even years. Although constipation can be uncomfortable, may create worry, and sometimes seem serious, fortunately it does not have long-term, troubling effects in most healthy children. This Booklet is designed to help you deal with childhood constipation by answering several questions and outlining management instructions for you to follow. Questions answered are: 1. What are the normal 11. What can we learn from patterns of bowel physical exam results? movements at 12. What is our treatment different ages? program for constipation? 2. What makes up bowel 13.

Quantitative Analysis of Phosphatidylethanolamine and Phosphatidylcholine from Rice Oil Lecithin and Sunflower Oil Lecithin by A
Applikationsbericht Quantitative Analysis of Phosphatidylethanolamine and Phosphatidylcholine from Rice Oil Lecithin and Sunflower Oil Lecithin by ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with PDA Detection Dilshad Pullancheri, Dr. Gurubasavaraj HM, Bheeshmacharyulu. S, Dr. Padmakar Wagh, Shaju V A, Ramesh Chandran K, Rajeesh K R, Abhilash Puthiyedath Waters Corporation, Kancor Ingredients Ltd. Abstract In this application note, we have developed a 15 minutes method for quantitative analysis of PE and PC on the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with a PDA Detector. Benefits Quantification of PE and PC in rice and sunflower oil lecithin within 15 minutes run time on the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with a PDA Detector. Introduction Phospholipids are major constituents of cell membrane and are found in all tissues and subcellular compartments as mixtures of various molecular species such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), sphingomyelin (SM), and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) depending on the type of polar head groups and the degree of unsaturation of the acyl chains. Among these phospholipids, PC and PE represents a major constituent of cell membranes. The demand for lecithin with high PC and PE content from vegetable or cereal source is increasing these days, particularly in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and other applications due to their emulsifying properties and nonantigenic nature. The application of lecithins in pharmaceutical and cosmetics domain depends mainly on the PC and PE with its saturated or unsaturated fatty acid content. Figure 1. Classification of phospholipids. The present method of UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) with UV detection offers advantages of high speed, resolution and simplicity for the separation and detection of phospholipids including phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine from rice and sunflower oil lecithin. -
Nebulised Antibiotherapy: Conventional Versus Nanotechnology- Based Approaches, Is Targeting at a Nano Scale a Difficult Subject?

Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Nebulised antibiotics offer great advantages over intravenously administered antibiotics and other conventional antibiotic formulations. However, their use is not widely standardized in the current clinical practice. This is the consequence of large variability in the performance of nebulisers, patient compliance and a deficiency of robust preclinical and clinical data. Nebulised antibiotherapy may play a significant role in future pulmonary drug delivery treatments as it offers the potential to achieve both a high local drug concentration and a lower systemic toxicity. In this review, the physicochemical parameters required for optimal deposition to the lung in addition to the main characteristics of currently available formulations and nebuliser types are discussed. -
Evaluating Disinfectants for Use Against the COVID-19 Virus
When it comes to choosing a disinfectant to combat the COVID-19 virus, research and health authorities suggest not all disinfectants are equally effective. The difference is in their active ingredient(s). HEALTH CANADA AND U.S. EPA ASSESSMENTS The work to evaluate disinfectants perhaps best starts with lists of approved disinfectants compiled by government health authorities. Health Canada has compiled a list of 85 hard surface disinfectant products (as of March 20, 2020) that meet their requirements for disinfection of emerging pathogens, including the virus that causes COVID-19. It can be accessed here. You can wade through the entire list. But if you locate the Drug Identification Number (DIN) on the disinfectant product label or the safety data sheet (SDS), then you can use the search function to quickly see if the product meets Health Canada requirements. A second list, updated on March 19, 2020, provides 287 products that meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19. This list can be found here. Like the Health Canada list, you can wade through this one too. However, to best use this list, you should locate the U.S. EPA registration number on the product label or SDS, and use that number to search the list. The U.S. EPA registration number of a product consists of two sets of numbers separated by a hyphen. The first set of numbers refers to the company identification number, and the second set of numbers following the hyphen represents the product number. -
