The aim of this study is to evaluate the management capacity of the Specialized Component of Pharmaceutical Services (CEAF, in Portuguese) in the state of São Paulo (SP), according to the organizational, operational and sustainability aspects. The study was designed as an evaluative investigation, with the adoption of a theoretical model and protocol of indicators developed for application at the national level and validated (Nominal Group and Traditional Committee) for application in the reality of the SP. The data collection in the 35 CEAF units was carried out in 2017 and 2018, and covered all technical areas that participate in the management/execution of CEAF, in both its central and regional scopes. The assessment of management capacity was based on a critical analysis of the obtained results, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. After collecting data from 35 CEAF units, it was found that the management capacity was positive in the operational dimension with challenges concentrated in the other dimensions. The results showed greater investments and development in the technical aspects of pharmaceutical services, but deficiencies in such areas as the monitoring of clinical results, infrastructure, regulation, and communication with the actors involved.

Background: Working in inpatient mental health settings is often characterised by highly emotive work and staff shortages. Despite the suggested benefits of reflective practice groups on staff well-being and clinical practice across healthcare settings, to date, there have been limited empirical studies on reflective practice groups in inpatient mental health settings, especially on group engagement and improvement.
Methods: We interviewed fifteen participants, including both facilitators and attendees of reflective practice groups.

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing global health issue, affecting approximately 9.1% of the world's population. Oxidative stress is believed to play a key role in CKD development, with indicators such as the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), Pro-Oxidant-Antioxidant Balance (PAB), and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) being of particular interest.

Traditional engagement with local governments often relies on financial and human resources from international or local partners, leading to direct implementation by organizations, which can hinder sustainability. While some organizations include sustainability indicators, few focus on transferring technical and financial ownership to governments. The Challenge Initiative (TCI) uses a phased coaching model-lead, assist, observe, and monitor-to build local government capacity for scaling family planning (FP) and adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health (AYSRH) programs.

Objectives: Postponing scheduled surgeries may alleviate emergency department (ED) crowding by increasing inpatient beds for ED patients but the impact of such measures are unclear. We determined if scheduled surgery cancellations for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease during the coronavirus pandemic affected ED presentations, hospitalizations, and complications.
Methods: This database review included Albertans ≥ 18 with ED presentations for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease from March 1, 2018 to May 31, 2022.
