Identification of Drug Therapy Problem in Adult Hypertensive Patients in A Nigerian Tertiary Hospital by Ukoha-kalu blessing O in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings


 Background: An event involving drug therapy that actually or potentially interferes with the desired health outcomes is known as drug therapy problem.

Objective: The study aimed to identify drug related problems encountered by hypertensive patients receiving care in a Nigeria Tertiary Hospital.

Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of the medical records of Adult hypertensive patients. A total of 171 patient folders were used for the study. The data were collected from the patients’ medical records using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) Classification tool Version 6.2 (PCNE, 2010). For each of the 171 medical records, the DTPs experienced within the study period were identified. The demographic information such as age and gender were recorded. Other items documented were the drugs implicated in the therapy problems, type of drug therapy problem, cause of drug therapy problem (DTP), type of intervention and the outcome of intervention. Data were analyzed using the IBM Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) for Windows, Version 21.0 (IBM Corp, Version 21.0, and Armonk, NY, USA).

Software Platform for Analise of Data in The Field of Waste Management_ Crimson Publishers

Software Platform for Analise of Data in The Field of Waste Management by Hiroshi Bando In Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings   Abstract This system will create activity in the waste market, which will involve processors. For this purpose, the research of thermal conductivity of RDF-raw materials of waste landfills in the laboratory of quality control of new functional materials GUAP and programming in Java Script virtual platform ECO 365.The global perspective of the project is the consolidation of the laboratory of new composite materials GUAP to create a waste processing Center with the main focus on research in the field of production and sale of biogas. Demand in the market is large. The used technologies of analytical and measuring instruments and programs of three-dimensional equipment will allow to apply in parallel with the analysis of raw materials the possibility of developing equipment to produce by-products from waste with their subsequent certification....

Using Shortened Systematic Strategic Planning (SSP) Working Model for the Development of a Strategic Plan of an Entrepreneurial Business-Case Study_ Crimson Publishers

Using Shortened Systematic Strategic Planning (SSP) Working Model for the Development of a Strategic Plan of an Entrepreneurial Business-Case Study by Hakan Butuner In Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings   Abstract Where strategic analysis tools are explained, this is most frequently done conceptually rather than their actual application in strategic planning. Shortened systematic strategic planning (SSP) consists of a pattern of stepwise procedure for straight-forward planning, and the fundamentals involved in any strategic planning project. SSP has been applied to and tested on different businesses’ subject issue and has been generated by the composition of the cause-and-effect relations of them. The intention here is to provide a new perspective and benefit for the strategic planners by introducing this new systematic methodology and demonstrating its implementation on an entrepreneurial and new business called Visual Co. Accordingly, let shortened version of SSP e...

Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel Doped Iron Oxide Nano Particles for Biomedical Application by Arshad Javid Muhammad in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings Abstract The objective of this work is to synthesize and characterization of nickel ferrite as MRI contrast agent to improve the signal intensity of T2 weighted images for biomedical application. For structural analysis, XRD was revealed that Ni-doped Fe2O4 have a cubic spinal structure Having Miller Indices (hkl) values of (220), (311), (222), (400), (331), (442), (333), (440) and (531). From XRD data, the grain size of Ni Fe2O4 was observed to be (17.12nm) after 20wt.% Ni-doped Fe2O4, and its further increases up to19.36nm for 40wt.% Ni Fe2O4, respectively. The XRD pattern confirmed that doping of Ni metal increased the grain size of nanoparticles. SEM was performed to study the morphology of prepared samples. EDX was performed to confirm the elemental analysis. EDX spectra depicted the desired peaks of Fe, O, Cl...
