Background And Purpose: Transitioning from the didactic to experiential setting is challenging for student pharmacists, perhaps due to lack of experiences providing "real-time" clinician interaction. We describe findings from a semester-long infectious diseases (ID) didactic elective that utilized a national cohort of preceptors and faculty across the United States to mimic clinician interaction and "real-time" ID management of various disease states. The mechanics of this elective provide a framework for others to implement to enhance advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) readiness.

The article considers the results of analysis of concentration of IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE, sIgA, sICAM-1 in non-stimulated saliva of female workers of poultry sector who underwent aerogenic impact of complex of occupational factors. The changes in indicators are analyzed depending on intensity of sensitization. The study demonstrated that the greatest changes in concentration of sICAM-1 are detected primarily in case of fungous infection.

This work presents the results of treatment of 60 patients with 2nd degree hemorrhagic shock at pre-hospital and hospital stages by different variations of infusion therapy. It is established that balanced infusion therapy in patients with 2nd degree hemorrhagic shock helps to stabilize the system hemodynamic and improve the general condition. The balanced infusion therapy does not lead to unfavorable changes in acid-alkaline and electrolyte balance.
