Poly-pharmacy was initially coined to refer to specific problems linked to multiple drug intake and excessive drug usage. Aim of the study : The study aims to assess practices used by old-age patients to control Poly-pharmacy. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to answer the research questions. Subjects & Setting: sample size was 114 elderly patients from elderly patients visiting outpatient clinics monthly. Tools : A checklist to assess poly pharmacies’ practices. Results: the majority of the study sample wasn’t reading the labels of the medications nor adhering to the immunization system of the old age (79.8% and 78%, respectively). The highest satisfactory level (66.6%) of practice was for the university education, followed by the urban area residents (60%), and finally, in the third level were the secondary level of education 59.1%. Conclusion: The prevalence of polypharmacy and its consequences among the elderly is significantly affected by the level of education. University education was the highest satisfactory adherence to the alternative practices that control poly-pharmacy, followed by secondary education, then primary then illiterate. Recommended: Designing an educational program for the elderly to increase their awareness and knowledge about the phenomenon of drug abuse and its consequences.","PeriodicalId":90784,"journal":{"name":"American journal of pharmacological sciences","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83843782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have shown that hospitals with medication reconciliation Programs led by pharmacists, as part of the interdisciplinary team, may have improved outcomes in the following areas of assessment: the rates of medication errors, adverse events, and readmissions. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the compliance to the medication reconciliation process. It is a quantitative analytical Cross-Sectional design undertaken at the specialized hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The study adopted the following independent variables (knowledge and training about medication reconciliation, Medication reconciliation policy, procedures involved in the medication reconciliation process, and organizational support) and the compliance to the medication reconciliation process in KAMC as dependent variables. Data collected from 90 pharmacists by using a self-administered questionnaire. When proving the hypothesis, the result showed that there is a positive correlation between the study variables including knowledge and training, medication reconciliation policy and procedures, and organizational management support with the compliance of medication reconciliation process. This study concluded that hospital pharmacists should be knowledgeable and have adequate training about medication reconciliation process. Proper implementations of policy and procedures with the organizational management support can contribute to improving the medication reconciliation process. However, further studies are needed to include all physicians and nurses to determine overall institutional factors that influence medication reconciliation process improvement.","PeriodicalId":90784,"journal":{"name":"American journal of pharmacological sciences","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86664232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cultivation environment and sterilization of the mushroom cultivation bag before cultivation may affect the fungal species that occur along the fruiting body for Mucor irregularis, M. fusiformis, and Trichoderma longibrachiatum and the stalk, for Hypocrea koningii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Coprinellus radians from the stalk. The bacterial species associated with A. polytricha were also identified by PCR amplification, PCR-RFLP analysis, sequencing and BLASTn analysis. Bacterial species were identified as Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas tolaasii, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Acinetobacter pittii, and Lysinibacillus fusiformis in the homogenates after Pasteur sterilization. During a flavor test of 11 commercial drinks, the testers reported experiencing diarrhea. Bacterial examination of the drinks found that three samples were contaminated. Five bacterial species were identified as Pantoea agglomerans, Serratia liquefaciens, and Pseudomonas psychrophila in sample 275, Cronobacter sakazakii and Pseudomonas azotoformans in sample 684 and Pseudomonas azotoformans in sample 539, and more than one bacterial species occurred in two samples. In conclusion, pathogenic fungal and bacterial species were obtained from the fruiting bodies, stalks, homogenates, and drinks of A. polytricha after Pasteur sterilization. To prevent foodborne diseases from A. polytricha, sanitation procedures should be enforced during cultivation, processing and post-harvest storage.","PeriodicalId":90784,"journal":{"name":"American journal of pharmacological sciences","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86029613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
