Background: Medication adherence is an important factor in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the rate of non-adherence to medications is high in COPD and is associated with worsened clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life for patients.
Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of a pharmaceutical care program led by pharmacists in the improvement of medication adherence and quality of life for COPD patients in Vietnam.
Objective: Community pharmacists can make significant contributions and be an indispensable member in the asthma therapy chain. The present study aimed to investigate the current knowledge level of Vietnamese community pharmacists in asthma counselling and the impact of a short training program on asthma knowledge and practice.

Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952 produces two major anthracyclines, doxorubicin (DXR) and daunorubicin (DNR), which are potent chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of several cancers. In order to gain detailed insight on genetics and biochemistry of the strain, the complete genome was determined and analyzed. The result showed that its complete sequence contains 7187 protein coding genes in a total of 8,023,114 bp, whereas 87% of the genome contributed to the protein coding region.
