Today’s pharmacists have unique training and expertise in the appropriate use of medications and provide a wide array of patient care services in many different practice settings...... ReadMore

It is well recognized that coronary artery disease and cancer are the result of inflammatory changes, which occur within the tissues of the body-specifically the walls of the coronary arteries (CAD) and within the specific organ (e.g. breast, colon) tissue in question [1-3] and not the blood. Despite this obvious difference between blood and tissue, medical studies looking at the impact of diets and drugs have primarily utilized changes in qualitative or at best semi-quantitative imaging [4-6], weight and blood tests to monitor presumed changes in heart disease and cancer. However, changes in heart disease and cancer cannot be measured through the mere use of blood tests alone, since these blood tests merely tell us what is happening within the blood and not what is happening in the tissues of the body proper [7,8]. Hence, the persistent..... ReadMore

The literature depicts many health benefits for both mother and newborn associated with breastfeeding. Although breastfeeding initiation rates have met the goals of Healthy People, the United States lags behind the achievement of optimal exclusive breastfeeding continuation and duration rates.

Aging comes with life challenges. As older adults face changes in health, abilities, and social circumstances, their need for quality social and healthcare services grows. For the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) older adults, their search for healthcare services unleashes extra burdens: the lack of respect, dignity from healthcare workers, so much that they fear treatment when navigating through the social and healthcare systems. This study referenced cultural sensitivity, honouring a relationship, and accommodating a partner as sensitive social support that requires immediate attention. The data gathered from this study were interpreted through the lens of thematic analysis. Thematic analysis was used to identify emerging themes. A theme captures something important about the data in rela..... ReadMore

The data gathered from this research were interpreted through the lens of thematic analysis and were used to identify emerging themes. While participants� narratives overlap and reinforce each other, thematic approach provides a way of understanding how LGB older ..... ReadMore

In Canada, more than 2000 children are born with some form of hearing loss (HL) each year, making HL one of the most common birth defects for which screening is available (“Newborn,” n.d.). Categories of hearing loss range from disability in one or two ears, to the type of hearing loss (sensorineural, permanent conductive, neural hearing disorders and mixed), and then to the level of hearing loss (Beigh & Malik, 2012). Most research in hearing impairment is focused on the effects and causes of hearing loss, instead of the classification. In Canada, five provinces, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia, require universal hearing screening when a baby is born..... ReadMore

The strategy of price liberalisation and privatisation had been implemented in Sudan over the last decade, and has had a positive result on government deficit. The investment law approved recently has good statements and rules on the above strategy in particular to pharmacy regulations. Under the pressure of the new privatisation policy, the government introduced radical changes in the pharmacy regulations. To improve the effectiveness of the public pharmacy, resources should be switched towards areas of need, reducing inequalities and promoting better health conditions. Medicines are financed either through cost sharing or full private. The role of the private services is significant. A review of reform of financing medicines in Sudan is given in this study. Also, it highlights the current drug supply system in the ..... ReadMore
