We report two cases in which multiple sclerosis and inflammatory polyneuritis occurred separately, suggest that this association supports the idea conditions may have an aetiological link.
Given the negative environmental impacts of pharmaceuticals, including their contribution to healthcare's carbon footprint, pharmacists have a role in responding climate and biodiversity crises. Knowledge education are required support transitions environmentally sustainable pharmacy practice (ESPP). The aim this study was explore Australian undergraduate students' knowledge attitudes towards sustainability ESPP curriculum content.Participants were surveyed using an anonymous online...
The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for valnemulin, tiamulin, enrofloxacin, tylosin, and lincomycin/spectinomycin were determined a virulent strain of Mycoplasma gallispeticum (MG). At the initial reading, lowest MICs seen with valnemulin followed by relatively high MIC lincomycin/spectinomycin. final at 14 days, similar pattern was obtained, giving (< 0.008 mg/ml). same MG used to infect groups 20 2-day-old chicks in two separate experiments. In both, several tiamulin one each...
Infectious sinusitis, a common condition seen in adult pheasants, is primarily caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The aims of the present study were to investigate pathogenicity M. gallisepticum 14-day-old pheasants and evaluate macrolide antibiotic tylvalosin (TVN) as treatment for infectious sinusitis. minimum inhibitory concentration TVN five isolates taken from confirmed their susceptibility (range: 0.002 0.008 µg/ml). One (G87/02) was inoculated intranasally into 72 (two groups 36) at...
Abstract Climate change and ecosystem degradation threaten human health exacerbate pre‐existing social determinants of health. The prescription drug sector accounts for a significant portion care system contributions to greenhouse gas waste production. Pharmacists are therefore well‐positioned transform toward environmentally sustainable models; however, additional pharmacist education on climate mitigation practice is needed. A team practicing pharmacists pharmacy students from the United...
A virulent strain of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was used to infect groups 40 2-day-old poults kept in separate pens 10 each. Of the six groups, three were treated with concentrations tilmicosin, one tylosin, remained untreated, and a final group not infected treated. Mortality, clinical signs, gross lesions significantly less (P < 0.001) uninfected medicated than unmedicated group. Also, mean body weight gain surviving end experiment greater 0.005) groups. MG recovered from birds, and,...
Objective. To explore preceptors' perceptions about the performance of undergraduate pharmacy students during experiential placements in Australia, before and after curricular transformation.Methods. Using a semi-structured approach, we interviewed 26 preceptors who had recently supervised took part transformed curriculum from previous curriculum. A directed content analysis approach was used to analyze transcripts.Results. Preceptors described as having improved professional skills,...
Reported here is the case of a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma lung who had bacteremia involving Pseudomonas mesophilica. Of common laboratory media tested at 35 degrees C, buffered charcoal yeast extract agar and nutrient provided best growth; however, other supported growth lower temperatures. Since blood cultures are routinely subcultured onto chocolate then incubated awareness characteristics P. mesophilica isolation techniques as outlined may enhance recovery this related...
Little is known about the use of complementary medicines by people living with HIV in Australia since advent more effective combination antiretroviral therapy. We conducted an anonymous survey 1211 adult patients receiving therapy from one eight specialist clinics across Australia, aiming to identify current patterns ingestible medicines. Data collected included reasons for use, information sources and rates disclosure medical practitioners pharmacists. Ingestible medicine was used up 53%...

Purpose Relatively little is known about the patterns of complementary medicine (CM) use by HIV-positive people in last decade, since introduction contemporary antiretroviral therapy (ART), or their information requirements. As ART has evolved, CM likely to have also changed over time, however this yet be established. This relevance health care providers, partly because potential risks including drug interactions, but understand reasons for and intended benefits, such as managing (ART) side...
