Book Description
Este libro presenta de una manera amena y didáctica la información necesaria para dominar las razones detrás de la selección de antibióticos para patógenos bacterianos comunes y enfermedades infecciosas. El contenido actualizado refleja los últimos medicamentos antibióticos disponibles en el mercado, y las ilustraciones refuerzan el conocimiento sobre la aplicación del tratamiento con antibióticos. Esta obra no solo es una guía de antibióticos para los estudiantes de medicina, enfermería y farmacología sino también resulta útil para residentes, internos y médicos practicantes. Está diseñado para servir como un puente entre el conocimiento del libro adquirido durante las fases iniciales de la educación médica y la aplicación y desarrollo de habilidades de prescripción reflexiva de profesionales con experiencia. La obra se compone de 6 secciones y 9 útiles apéndices. Las secciones cubiertas incluyen los fundamentos de la replicación bacteriana y su biología como bases de acción del tratamiento quimioterapéutico. La segunda sección aborda la farmacología básica de los grupos antibacterianos principales; la tercera sección cubre el tratamiento definitivo de infecciones establecidas y comprobadas, mientras que la parte 4 lo hace sobre el socorrido, tratamiento empírico para diferentes patologías como las infecciones de la vía urinaria, neumonía, meningitis, etc. Las dos últimas secciones son aplicaciones de conocimientos a través de preguntas de autoevaluación y casos clínicos. Los apéndices tratan esquemas de dosificación en grupos especiales, nombres genéricos y comerciales comunes. (se adaptarán a los usados en LATAM) y referencias. Características destacadas: Diseño muy amigable enfocado en maximizar la retención y evocar el conocimiento adquirido en cursos previos: farmacología, terapéutica, infectología, pediatría, etc. Contenido actualizado familiariza al lector con los agentes antibacterianos más relevantes y las pautas de tratamiento. Perlas adicionales para enfatizar mnemotecnias y mejorar la retención de información crítica. Cientos de tablas y recuadros con información relevante. Extensa revisión de casos y preguntas que refuerza el aprendizaje y la aplicación clínica.

Book Description
The “Pediatric Dosage Pharmacological Management” is an e-book specially designed for Iphone, based on a thorough study of pharmacology as scientific basis for the integration of theory with practical clinical application. It aims at providing the best therapeutic efficacy in pediatric practice, achieved with the development of each of the drugs, immunizations, blood products, nutritional supplements or other necessary tools; specifying according to national and international consensus their indications, dosage, presentation, contraindications, interactions, adverse effects and risk in unusual circumstances (pregnancy, lactation, renal and liver failure).

Book Description
These guidelines provide recommendations that outline the critical aspects of infection prevention and control. The recommendations were developed using the best available evidence and consensus methods by the Infection Control Steering Committee. They have been prioritised as key areas to prevent and control infection in a healthcare facility. It is recognised that the level of risk may differ according to the different types of facility and therefore some recommendations should be justified by risk assessment. When implementing these recommendations all healthcare facilities need to consider the risk of transmission of infection and implement according to their specific setting and circumstances.

Book Description
Health care-associated infections (HAI) are one of the most common adverse events in care delivery and a major public health problem with an impact on morbidity, mortality and quality of life. At any one time, up to 7% of patients in developed and 10% in developing countries will acquire at least one HAI. These infections also present a significant economic burden at the societal level. However, a large percentage are preventable through effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. These new guidelines on the core components of IPC programmes at the national and facility level will enhance the capacity of Member States to develop and implement effective technical and behaviour modifying interventions. They form a key part of WHO strategies to prevent current and future threats from infectious diseases such as Ebola, strengthen health service resilience, help combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and improve the overall quality of health care delivery. They are also intended to support countries in the development of their own national protocols for IPC and AMR action plans and to support health care facilities as they develop or strengthen their own approaches to IPC. These are the first international evidence-based guidelines on the core components of IPC programmes. These new WHO guidelines are applicable for any country and suitable to local adaptations, and take account of the strength of available scientific evidence, the cost and resource implications, and patient values and preferences.

Book Description
Improving access to safe, effective, and quality medicines and other health technologies is a critical public health priority and a fundamental requisite for universal health. National regulatory systems play a key part in a country's health system by overseeing the safety, quality, and efficacy of all health technologies, including pharmaceuticals, vaccines, blood and blood products, and medical devices, among others. The aim of this document is to better understand the regulatory landscape of the Americas, with an emphasis on Latin American National Regulatory Authorities of Reference. This report presents data and analysis corresponding to essential regulatory functions and systems foundations to understand current practices, identify critical issues, and present a series of recommendations for action. The report also includes an overview of the market outlook and economic integration mechanisms in the Americas and their influence on regulatory policy and pharmaceutical trade. In addition, the report includes a supplement to describe salient regulatory emergency responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas. Through this report, the Pan American Health Organization aims to increase the understanding of national regulatory remits and capacity in the Americas, raise awareness and appreciation of the regional regulatory progress and challenges, identify the regulatory issues emerging markets will bring, and highlight opportunities for evidence-based regulatory system strengthening.

Book Description
comprehensively up to date. We are most grateful to these authors and to those we recruited to write the additional chapters necessary to fill the significant gaps. We acknowledge also the sacrifice of some who presented results of original research and have thus suffered a longer time than usual to publication. The timing of publication however has provided the opportunity to highlight recent discussions and resolutions made within the Antarctic Treaty forum to protect wildlife against disease and to include responses by Government and non-Government operators in Antarctica. These developments mostly followed from the Workshop on Diseases of Antarctic Wildlife. The book comprises 17 chapters presented in two parts. Wildlife disease consists of reviews, case studies and health assessments, and External factors covers the environmental, administrative and legal aspects. Each chapter is complete and c- tains all references. Six important documents are provided as Appendices. These present methods, reviews and other documents which are referred to in one or more chapters but are not readily available. There are many related topics we have been unable to cover that would enhance the understanding of health and disease processes in Antarctica. While we ackno- edge their importance they are outside the scope of the present volume. Such topics include epidemiology, new and emerging infectious diseases and the effects of climate change. These topics are referred to in the various chapters where ref- ences to source material are given.

Book Description
This book, Environmental Health Risk - Hazardous Factors to Living Species, is intended to provide a set of practical discussions and relevant tools for making risky decisions that require actions to reduce environmental health risk against environmental factors that may adversely impact human health or ecological balances. We aimed to compile information from diverse sources into a single volume to give some real examples extending concepts of those hazardous factors to living species that may stimulate new research ideas and trends in the relevant fields.
