La Directiva 2005/36/CE del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, relativa al reconocimiento de cualificaciones profesionales, en su artículo 44, referente a la formación del farmacéutico, y la Orden CIN/2137/2008, por la que se establecen los requisitos para la verificación de los títulos universitarios oficiales que habiliten para el ejercicio de esta profesión, recogen conocimientos y competencias que deben contemplarse en su formación académica. Muchos de ellos están directamente relacionados con los fármacos y con los medicamentos y, por tanto, estrechamente vinculados con el Área de Conocimiento de “Farmacia y Tecnología Farmacéutica”. Como profesores de esta Área desde hace muchos años, hemos apreciado la dificultad existente en la preparación del material docente. Este hecho es debido a diversas razones. Entre ellas destacan: a) limitación de las fuentes documentales existentes sobre las propiedades físico-químicas y biofarmacéuticas de muchos principios activos; b) escasez de textos concernientes a la fabricación concreta de medicamentos; c) irrupción continua en el mercado de nuevos medicamentos, que implica que muchos textos se queden desfasados; d) dispersión de los contenidos. Para intentar soslayar esta problemática, se han venido realizando diversas actividades docentes. Una de ellas, objeto de la presente comunicación, fue implantada en el curso 2009-10, para los alumnos de 5º curso y se seguirá incluyendo en la programación docente para el próximo 2010-11. Está basada en el concepto “wiki”. Consiste en la elaboración, por parte de alumnos y profesores, de un espacio común, convenientemente organizado, donde todos aportan información para elaborar una gran enciclopedia virtual sobre el medicamento.; Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and Council on the recognition of professional qualifications, section 44, concerning the formation of pharmacists, and the Order CIN/2137/2008, laying down the requirements for verification of official university degrees that prepare students to work in this profession, gather knowledge and skills to be covered in their education. Many of them are directly related to drugs and medicines and, therefore, closely linked to the Knowledge Area "Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology”. As teachers of this area for many years, we have appreciated the difficulty in preparing the teaching material. This is due to various reasons. These include: a) limitation of existing documentary sources on the physico-chemical and biopharmaceutical characteristics of many active ingredients. b) a shortage of texts concerning the specific manufacture of medicaments. c) continuous irruption in the market for new drugs and dosage forms, which means that many texts become outdated. d) information dispersion. To circumvent this problem, various educational activities have being conducted. One of this, object of the present communication, was introduced in 2009-10 for students in the 5th grade and still be included in the course program for the next 2010-11. It is based on the concept of "wiki". It consists of establishing, by students and teachers, a common area, conveniently organized in which all provide information to develop a virtual encyclopedia of medicaments. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27361 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27360 Potential impact of European decisions and reports in pharmacy planning in Spain Moreno Plantada, Javier; Garrigues, T.M.; Martín Villodre, A.M.; Muelas, J.A. Currently there are several cases in the field of the European Union regarding Spanish legislation on private pharmacy planning. The first of these cases was initiated by issuing a reasoned opinion by the European Commission on 28 June 2006. The second approach has taken place through the various preliminary questions raised before the Court of Justice of the European Communities by certain Spanish courts. Although not all of the above procedures have been completed, certain European pronouncements do provide what might be the consequences that they may have on the Spanish legislation on the subject. It is very likely that the binomial property-ownership in favor of pharmacists and planning criteria established in the Spanish regulations is considered compatible with European law. On the contrary, it is feasible that certain aspects of the merit scales applied by the Autonomous Communities for awarding newly authorized community pharmacies must be changed. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27360 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27358 Comparative Investigation on in vitro release of extemporaneously prepared norfloxacin semisolid formulations with marketed silver sulfadiazine 1% cream, USP using model independent approach Dua, Kamal; Pabreja, Kavita; Ramana, M.V. Objective In an attempt for better treatment of bacterial infections, various semisolid formulations containing 5% w/w of norfloxacin were prepared and evaluated for in vitro drug release and in vitro skin permeability using dialysis membrane and rat abdominal skin respectively. The in vitro diffusion and permeation profile of the prepared formulation was compared with marketed silver sulfadiazine cream 1%, USP using model independent approach. Methods Various semisolid formulations were prepared with different dermatological bases using standard procedures. In vitro diffusion and permeation studies were carried out using Keshary-Chein (KC) type diffusion cell using dialysis membrane and rat abdominal skin respectively. Results The f1 lower than 15 and f2 higher than 50 indicated similarities in the in vitro diffusion and permeation profiles of the extemporaneously prepared selected semisolid formulations and marketed silver sulfadiazine 1% cream, USP. Conclusion Amongst all the semisolid formulations prepared, carbopol gel base was found to be most suitable dermatological base for norfloxacin, the results obtained for in vitro diffusion, and in vitro skin permeation studies are comparable with that of marketed silver sulphadiazine 1% cream, USP. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27358 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27352 Antidiabetic and nephroprotective effect of tectona grandis linn. In alloxan induced diabetes Ghaisas, Mahesh M.; Navghare, V.V.; Takawale, A.R.; Zope, V.S.; Phanse, M.A. In the present study, effect of ethanolic extract of bark of Tectona grandis Linn. (TG) was evaluated using alloxan induced diabetes and associated renal complication. The diabetes was induced by administration of alloxan to the rats at the dose of 140 mg/kg, i.p. TG was administered to diabetic animals for six weeks and various biochemical parameters in blood and urine (plasma glucose, serum albumin, total protein, and creatinine, urine total protein, urine albumin), tissue parameters (cholesterol and triglyceride in kidney homogenate) and % change in body weight were evaluated along with histopathological study. In present study diabetic animals treated with TG showed significant reduction in the elevated level of plasma glucose (p<0.01) when compared with diabetic control. While considering renal parameters, diabetic animals treated with TG showed significant decrease in serum creatinine (p<0.05), urine albumin and urine total protein levels (p<0.01) and significant increase in serum albumin, total protein and % change in body weight (p<0.01) when compared with diabetic control. Diabetic control showed significant increase in total cholesterol and triglyceride accumulation in kidney, while diabetic animals treated with TG showed significant decrease in levels of total cholesterol (p<0.01) and triglyceride (p<0.05) in the kidney when compared with diabetic control. Diabetic control showed significant mark of glomerulosclerosis and hyalinization which occurs because of severe diabetic condition (diabetic nephropathy). Diabetic groups treated with TG showed absence of the sclerotic lesions produced by diabetic condition. Hence, the results obtained in the present study indicate that Tectona grandis has the potential to treat diabetes mellitus and prevent the associated renal damage. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/27352
