Pharmaceutical Practice

The article presents the results of the analysis of alternative methods of studying theGood Pharmaceutical Practice complex, introduced at the Lviv Polytechnic National University.The optimal structure of the curriculum for student’s education by the specialty 226 “Pharmacy,Industrial Pharmacy” was determined to improve the system of training of specialists,who need understand the current pharmaceutical legislation of Ukraine and prospects for itsdevelopment.Structural-and-logical schemas based on the Guidelines of Good Pharmaceutical Practicesthat greatly facilitate students’ perception and assimilation of all the needed informationhave been elaborated.The development of such schemes by students with teacher assistance allows to improvethe perception of the material and strengthen skills for independently analyzing. While performingthe task, students to learn and understand certain aspects, such as the fact that the quality ofthe medicines is “incorporated” into the drug at the stage of pharmaceutical development, andthen confirmed during preclinical and clinical research. Further, the medicine receives a “permitto life”, when passing state registration. After that, the specified quality is reproduced for eachseries at the stage of full-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing, it is maintained unchanged at thestages of storage and distribution and, finally, it is delivered to patients in pharmacies. The study of the possibility of mastering the discipline “Good Practices in Pharmaceutics”by students of specialty 226 “Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy” during the practice at theexisting pharmaceutical enterprises can be considered perspective.

Additive Technique

The pharmaceutical industry is continually searching for new technologies to improve the characteristics of current medicines. One of the objectives is the increase of adherence to the treatments by patients. Simultaneously, 3-dimensional printing (3DP) is an emerging additive technique that is reaching many sectors of industry and influencing directly and indirectly the quality of life of patients. In this sense, 3DP postulates to be one of the technologies that contribute to the pharmaceutical development, allowing the personalized medicine in patients, improving the bioavailability of drugs with dissolution problems or combining all the medication of the patients in a single tablet (polypill), among others. This new technique will differ greatly from the traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing and in the coming years it may involve a revolutionary transformation in pharmaceutical practice.

Failure Pressure

Internal and external corrosion damage is a major cause of pipeline failures worldwide. When corrosion features in pipelines are detected by in-line inspection (ILI), a decision whether to replace, repair or accept and monitor must be made. Extensive experimental and numerical work has been undertaken to develop methods for assessing the remaining strength of corroded transmission pipelines. Common methods used by the pipeline industry include ASME B31G, modified ASME B31G and LPC. These methods are semi-empirical and have been developed using a modified version of a toughness independent ductile failure criterion for pressurized pipes containing axially orientated surface breaking defects. The validity range of these models is dominated by large diameter (10 to 48″), thin walled, low grade (API 5L grade A to X65) and low yield to tensile ratio line pipe. Smaller diameter (not greater than 6″), thick walled pipelines and pipework located, for example, at above ground installations, compressor and pressure reduction stations are very common. The use of ASME B31G, modified ASME B31G or LPC may not be appropriate when assessing the remaining strength of small diameter pipelines and pipework. No alternative methods are available in the public domain and hence a program of work was undertaken to derive appropriate defect acceptance limits by conducting a series of full-scale burst tests on small diameter pipe with simulated corrosion defects. It was concluded that the LPC method gave the most accurate prediction of failure pressure when compared with the results of the full-scale tests, and the most conservative predictions of failure pressure were obtained using the ASME B31G method.

Abstract Background Research methodology is an essential part of evidence-based medicine. Many educational programs include clinical research methodology within their curriculum. Moreover, students’ preferences for learning methods are different to before, as they now prefer alternative methods, such as peer teaching. Peer-assisted learning enhances students’ tutoring skills. Thus, the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of peer teaching on enhancing clinical research skills. Methods Peer-assisted learning was evaluated during a four-week online research methodology course designed for medical students at King Abdulaziz University. A total of 121 students’ and 38 tutors’ attitudes and perceptions of peer teaching were evaluated using a self-administered questionnaire. The effectiveness of peer teaching was assessed using pre- and post-course knowledge tests. Chi-square used to assess the association of qualitative data and Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon rank test are used as nonparametric test for the variables that are not normally distributed. Results The post-course knowledge score was significantly higher than the pre-test score. Students had a positive perception of peer-assisted learning. Over 90% of the students preferred peer-assisted learning to traditional teaching. Similarly, the tutors had significantly positive perceptions of peer-assisted teaching. Younger students who had higher post-test mean knowledge scores had a good perception of peer teaching. Conclusions The current study demonstrates students' and tutors' positive perceptions of peer-assisted learning as well as the effectiveness of peer learning. Medical schools should pay more attention to students and prepare them for peer-teacher roles.

Introduction: Finding an optimal model for the development and functioning of the health care system is an important aspect for most economically developed countries. The aim of this article is to comprehensively study the problems of functioning of complementary (alternative) medicine, to identify the main tendencies of its development in some foreign countries and specific features of its application in Ukraine. Materials and methods: During the research the authors have used theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, etc.) and empirical methods (observation, classification, etc.) of scientific research. Review: The conducted study provides grounds for arguing that complementary (alternative) medicine in various forms exists in most countries of the world and is promoted by the World Health Organization (hereafter – WHO). However, the legal regulation of complementary medicine and its interaction with the traditional medicine are significantly different. It has been established that a significant part of patients use alternative methods of treatment, neglecting the information interaction with the attending physician. The authors have revealed the shortcomings of permitting procedures concerning the activity of healers, the result of which there are many fraud cases in this sphere. Conclusions: The authors have proved the necessity of improving the legislative base for the regulation of complementary medicine, integration of alternative methods into official medicine, improvement of the system of professional training of physicians, determination of the volume of usefulness and benefits of medical aid by alternative methods, expansion of international cooperation and exchange of experience with foreign specialists practicing the use of complementary medicine.

AbstractIntroduction:There is a clear need to educate and train the clinical research workforce to conduct scientifically sound clinical research. Meeting this need requires the creation of tools to assess both an individual’s preparedness to function efficiently in the clinical research enterprise and tools to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of programs that are designed to educate and train clinical research professionals. Here we report the development and validation of a competency self-assessment entitled the Competency Index for Clinical Research Professionals, version II (CICRP-II).Methods:CICRP-II was developed using data collected from clinical research coordinators (CRCs) participating in the “Development, Implementation and Assessment of Novel Training In Domain-Based Competencies” (DIAMOND) project at four clinical and translational science award (CTSA) hubs and partnering institutions.Results:An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified a two-factor structure: the first factor measures self-reported competence to perform Routine clinical research functions (e.g., good clinical practice regulations (GCPs)), while the second factor measures competence to perform Advanced clinical functions (e.g., global regulatory affairs). We demonstrate the between groups validity by comparing CRCs working in different research settings.Discussion:The excellent psychometric properties of CICRP-II and its ability to distinguish between experienced CRCs at research-intensive CTSA hubs and CRCs working in less-intensive community-based sites coupled with the simplicity of alternative methods for scoring respondents make it a valuable tool for gauging an individual’s perceived preparedness to function in the role of CRC as well as an equally valuable tool to evaluate the value and effectiveness of clinical research education and training programs.
