Background: Clinical pharmacy services (CPS) have been evolving worldwide. However, it is estimated that CPS are not yet integrated into the Brazilian healthcare system. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify factors that influence the integration of CPS into the healthcare system and propose strategies for this integration.
Methods: A methodological development study was conducted from August 2016 to September 2017. Thus, interviews were conducted with key informants to identify barriers, facilitators, and strategies for CPS integration. Then these collected data were organized and confronted with the literature. Finally, a nominal group defined strategies for the integration of CPS into the Brazilian healthcare system.
Results: Interviews were conducted with five managers and seven decision-makers who listed 19 barriers and 20 facilitators. From these results, the nominal group proposed 41 integration strategies and prioritized five: formalize CPS; agree on care flows and referral protocols; evaluate and publicize CPS results/benefits; plan and define CPS; sensitize the health managers CONCLUSION: This study identified factors that influence the integration of CPS into the Brazilian health system and proposed strategies to achieve this integration. These results may contribute to future health decision-making processes.

Purpose: Bone cement-reinforced fenestrated pedicle screws (FPSs) have been widely used in the internal fixation and repair of the spine with osteoporosis in recent years and show significant improvement in fixation strength and stability. However, compared with conventional reinforcement methods, the advantages of bone cement-reinforced FPSs remain undetermined. This article compares the effects of fenestrated and conventional pedicle screws (CPSs) combined with bone cement in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Flexible sensors have garnered significant interest for their potential to monitor human activities and provide valuable feedback for healthcare purposes. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising materials for these applications but suffer from issues of poor purity and solubility. Dispersing SWNTs with conjugated polymers (CPs) enhances solution processability, yet the polymer sidechains can insulate the SWNTs, limiting the sensor's operating voltage.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in children, characterized by diverse clinical manifestations and often uncertain etiology, which has spurred increasing interest in genetic diagnostics. This review synthesizes findings from various studies to enhance understanding of CP's genetic underpinnings. The discussion is structured around five key areas: monogenic causes and copy number variants directly linked to CP, differential genetic disorders including atypical CP and mimics, ambiguous genetic influences, co-occurrence with other neurodevelopmental disorders, and polygenic risk factors.

Objective: To perform a diagnostic assessment of a point-of-care veterinary multiuse platform integrated with a model comprised of deep-learning, convolutional neural network algorithms for evaluating canine/feline peripheral blood smears compared to board-certified clinical pathologists (CPs).
Methods: This study had a blinded, randomized, incomplete block design, and results were compared between CPs and algorithms. Blood smears from convenience samples from veterinary diagnostic reference laboratories from October to December 2021 were used.
