Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les patients transplantés sont des patients très fragiles car ils sont mis en état d'immunodépression médicamenteuse. C'est pourquoi leur prise en charge à l'officine doit être optimale afin d'aider le patient à éviter le rejet de l'organe transplanté, les infections et d'autres effets indésirables potentiels des médicaments. Cette prise en charge à l'officine peut débuter relativement tôt par le soutien du patient lorsque celui-ci est inscrit sur liste d'attente de transplantation. Le rôle du pharmacien sera alors de veiller au maintien : de l'état de santé du patient notamment en veillant à une observance médicamenteuse rigoureuse des traitements en cours. Suite à la transplantation, le pharmacien aura une place privilégiée dans la prise en charge médicamenteuse et également dans l'éducation thérapeutique de son patient. Il doit s'assurer de la bonne observance par son patient du traitement immunosuppresseur. Le pharmacien doit l'informer de tous les éléments essentiels directement liés à son traitement : conditions de prise des médicaments, conduite à tenir en cas d'oubli d'une prise ou en cas de vomissement après la prise d'un comprimé, quels sont les aliments à éviter ou à privilégier. Le pharmacien peut remettre une fiche de conseils lors de la délivrance du traitement afin que le patient puisse se remémorer le message oral qui lui aura été dispensé. Le pharmacien ne doit pas omettre de prodiguer des règles d'hygiène ainsi que des mesures diététiques à respecter. En outre, le pharmacien doit insister sur les examens de suivi du patient : dosage des taux d'immunosuppresseurs, surveillance de la fonction rénale et hépatique par exemple. Enfin, le pharmacien par son écoute joue un rôle dans le soutien psychologique du patient. Il peut également lui conseiller de s'orienter vers des associations de patients si cela est nécessaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La transplantation d'organe est actuellement l'une des principales thérapeutiques pour des malades atteints de pathologies conduisant à une perte irréversible de la fonction d'organes vitaux. Parmi les six organes pouvant être transplantés, le rein est le plus fréquemment greffé. Si la technique est maîtrisée, un des principaux obstacles est le rejet. Pour éviter ce phénomène, les patients prennent quotidiennement un traitement immunosuppresseur complexe aux nombreux effets indésirables et dont les taux plasmatiques sont parfois difficiles à équilibrer. Le suivi et l'accompagnement du patient semble donc être primordial pour assurer son adhésion au traitement à long terme. Le pharmacien, en dispensant chaque mois leur traitement aux patients, est un véritable professionnel de santé de proximité. Il semblait donc important qu'il intervienne dans la démarche d'appropriation par le patient de son traitement et des règles hygiéno-diététiques à adopter. Notre étude avait pour but de connaître la vision de chacune des parties afin de proposer des solutions d'amélioration de la prise en charge à l'officine de ces patients. Deux questionnaires ont donc été conçus. Le premier était destiné aux pharmaciens d'officine pour évaluer ses difficultés lors de la dispensation des traitements anti-rejet (gestion du stock, des interactions médicamenteuses, utilisation du dossier pharmaceutique...) ainsi que son ressenti par rapport à l'éducation thérapeutique du patient. Le deuxième, quant à lui, était destiné aux patients greffés et a montré que certains patients ont des lacunes dans les connaissances vis-à-vis de leur traitement (gestion des prises des médicaments et des oublis, mesures hygiéno-diététiques à respecter, suivi biologique et clinique à respecter, gestion de situations problématiques et des effets indésirables, vaccins contre-indiqués, mesures de protection vis-à-vis du soleil et des infections...). Ils peuvent compléter les connaissances acquises lors de séances d'éducation thérapeutique par des entretiens pharmaceutiques à l'officine avec leur pharmacien. Nous avons donc réalisé une trame pour le déroulement d'entretiens pharmaceutiques, un jeu de cartes sur les situations de la vie courante et des supports éducatifs à partir des besoins émanant despersonnes interrogées. En manipulant ces outils pédagogiques, le patient devient acteur de son apprentissage et il peut emporter les fiches conseils pour compléter les informations reçues à l'oral. De plus, ces outils faciliteront le déroulement de l'entretien pour le pharmacien. L'objectif du travail transversal entre professionnels est de rendre acteur de leur santé des malades qui ont des traitements à prendre quotidiennement.

Download or read book Antibody Glycosylation written by Marija Pezer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes recent advances in antibody glycosylation research. Covering major topics relevant for immunoglobulin glycosylation - analytical methods, biosynthesis and regulation, modulation of effector functions - it provides new perspectives for research and development in the field of therapeutic antibodies, biomarkers, vaccinations, and immunotherapy. Glycans attached to both variable and constant regions of antibodies are known to affect the antibody conformation, stability, and effector functions. Although it focuses on immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most explored antibody in this context, and unravels the natural phenomena resulting from the mixture of IgG glycovariants present in the human body, the book also discusses other classes of human immunoglobulins, as well as immunoglobulins produced in other species and production systems. Further, it reviews the glycoanalytical methods applied to antibodies and addresses a range of less commonly explored topics, such as automatization and bioinformatics aspects of high-throughput antibody glycosylation analysis. Lastly, the book highlights application areas ranging from the ones already benefitting from antibody glycoengineering (such as monoclonal antibody production), to those still in the research stages (such as exploration of antibody glycosylation as a clinical or biological age biomarker), and the potential use of antibody glycosylation in the optimization of vaccine production and immunization protocols. Summarizing the current knowledge on the broad topic of antibody glycosylation and its therapeutic and biomarker potential, this book will appeal to a wide biomedical readership in academia and industry alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the explosion of information on autophagy in cancer, this is an opportune time to speed the efforts to translate our current knowledge about autophagy regulation into better understanding of its role in cancer. This book will cover the latest advances in this area from the basics, such as the molecular machinery for autophagy induction and regulation, up to the current areas of interest such as modulation of autophagy and drug discovery for cancer prevention and treatment. The text will include an explanation on how autophagy can function in both oncogenesis and tumor suppression and a description of its function in tumor development and tumor suppression through its roles in cell survival, cell death, cell growth as well as its influences on inflammation, immunity, DNA damage, oxidative stress, tumor microenvironment, etc. The remaining chapters will cover topics on autophagy and cancer therapy. These pages will serve as a description on how the pro-survival function of autophagy may help cancer cells resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment as well as how the pro-death functions of autophagy may enhance cell death in response to cancer therapy, and how to target autophagy for cancer prevention and therapy − what to target and how to target it. ​

Download or read book The Great Cholesterol Con written by Dr Malcolm Kendrick and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statins are widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels and claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease. Believed to be completely safe and capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, they are the most profitable drug in the history of medicine. In this groundbreaking book, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype. He will change the way we think about cholesterol forever. Rubbishing the diet-heart hypothesis, in which clinical trials 'prove' that high cholesterol causes heart disease and a high-fat diet leads to heart disease, Kendrick lambastes a powerful pharmaceutical industry and unquestioning medical profession, who, he claims, perpetuate the madcap concepts of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol and cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to unnecessarily spend billions of pounds on statins. Clearly and comprehensively debunking assumptions on what constitute a healthy lifestyle and diet, "The Great Cholesterol Con" is the accessible, indispensable and absorbing case against statins and for a more common-sense approach to heart disease and general wellbeing. No more over-hyped miracle drugs; no more garlic, red wine, anti-oxidants, fruit or vegetables; even a vegetarian diet is rejected in this controversial yet authoritative critique of how we have been mislead over how food and drugs affect our coronary health. Here, for the first time, is the invaluable guide for anyone who though there was a miracle cure for heart disease, "The Great Cholesterol Con" is a fascinating breakthrough that will set dynamite under the whole area.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Yosephs have written the most stunning expose. In plain language they reveal the science, the corruption and the enormous conspiracy it took to bring statins to market. As fast paced as a Mickey Spillane novel they report the research, the fraud and the facts like a detective in hot pursuit of a Nazi war criminal. It is riveting. They have accomplished the impossible: they have made both complex science and medical history fascinating to read. What could not be done in an expose they accomplished with almost unbelievablable ease. It will change your paradigms about medicine forever."--p.[4] of cover.
