In 2006, the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) charged the Task Force on Residency Equivalency to define the professional experience expected of a clinically mature practitioner that would meet or exceed the knowledge and skills of an accredited postgraduate year one residency-trained pharmacist. In this commentary, the Task Force discusses both the qualitative and quantitative compo...

clot formation within a deep vein is called deep vein thrombosis (dvt). it occurs in about 100 persons per 100,000 population each year in the united states and leads to about 600,000 pulmonary thromboembolism (pte) cases and also causes 60,000 deaths annually. for many years, unfractionated heparin (ufh) and warfarin have been used for treatment of dvt and prevention of pte. this approach need...

Hilbert C∗-modules are useful tools in AW ∗-algebra theory, theory of operator algbras, operator K-theory, group representation theory and theory of operator spaces. The theory of Hilbert C∗-modules is very interesting on its own. In this paper we give fundamentals of the theory of Hilbert C∗-modules and examine some ways in which Hilbert C∗-modules differ from Hilbert spaces.

The calcic phosphates represent a complex family. Their conditions of crystallisation and inhibition were studied at various pH values. Phosphate precipitates obtained from artificial urine in the pH range (6.5; 7; 8) were identified using FTIR and XRD. At pH = 6.5 brushite accompanied by carbonated amorphous phosphate complexes precipitated while at pH = 7, the coexistence of brushite, struvit...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess the relevance of various efficacy end points established for thromboprophylaxis trials, we compared the results of the fondaparinux phase III program in major orthopedic surgery using the original primary efficacy end point with those obtained when the efficacy end points recently suggested by the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) Consensus Conference on Ant...

OBJECTIVES Although effective strategies for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are widely available, a significant number of patients still develop VTE because appropriate thromboprophylaxis is not correctly prescribed. We conducted this study to estimate the risk profile for VTE and the employment of adequate thromboprophylaxis procedures in patients admitted to hospitals in the s...

Four years after the 1st edition [1], the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) has published its 2nd edition of their evidence based clinical practice guidelines on the di‐ agnosis and management of lung cancer [2]. The goal of these guidelines is to assist chest physicians in achieving the best outcomes possible for their patients taking into account the new evidence based knowledge and...
