Impact of Clinical Pharmacist's Interventions on Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in the Cardiac Care Units of Two University Hospitals in Shiraz, South of Iran.

Objective: The main objective of this study aimed to assess drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the cardiac care unit (CCU) and cardiac surgery units and the role of a clinical pharmacist in detecting and preventing the expected DDIs.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the CCU Units of Nemazee and Shahid Faghihi Hospitals, two referral hospitals in Shiraz, South of Iran, from August to February 2016. Patients older than 18 years, who were admitted and had received >24 h of inpatient services in these wards with two or more medication orders, were included in this study.

Preparation of Ni-Pt/Fe-TiO nanotube films for photoelectrochemical cathodic protection of 403 stainless steel.

Iron-doped TiO nanotubes (Fe-TNTs) were prepared by a one step anodization method. Nickel-platinum was then deposited on the surface of these Fe-TNTs samples by an electroless process during different time periods. SEM, XRD and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy was used to study the surface morphologies, composition and optical properties of the synthetic samples.
