6. Expected starting date: January/February 2011
7. Brief Project Description: Partners for Prevention (P4P) is a joint UNDP, UNFPA, UNIFEM and UN Volunteers regional support programme for Asia and the Pacific. Through an integrated approach of enhanced knowledge, skills and regional partnerships, P4P supports primary prevention in Asia and the Pacific as a contribution to the long-term improvement of human rights, dignity, peace and development for all. P4P's specific goal is the primary prevention of violence against women (VAW) or stopping violence before it starts. The programme's strategy includes working with boys and men to change the root causes that allow for violence against women to persist across all societies. Thus the outcome this programme will contribute to is an increase in the number of boys and men who support ending violence against women. Partners for Prevention is situated at the regional level, meaning that it supports cross-border learning and adaptation of promising practices, consortiums of practitioners engaged in collective action at the regional level, regional analysis of the root causes of violence against women, and consolidates innovations from the local level to the global levels. Being situated at the regional level, it serves to connect local interventions with global expertise, and helps to inspire enhancements across the region. As a part of these regional activities, P4P works with partners on the ground in approximately 10 countries and Indonesia is one of these countries with partners in Aceh and Jogjakarta.
Laki-laki Baru (LLB) is the national network working on strengthening men and boys' contributions to ending gender-based violence (GBV) and enhancing gender equality. LLB is now conducting several activities including consolidating the network, improving capacities and skills of its members, and building public awareness through social media campaign. LLB will facilitate the formulation of the network's ground principles and workplan through serial activities involving both its core members and other women's rights and social activists. LLB will also carry out activities aiming to strengthening the capacity and skills to support the initiative of working with men and boys in GBV prevention; the activities include the formulation of a curriculum, trainings, seminars, and periodical discussion forums. Furthermore, in raising public awareness on the initiative of working with men and boys in ending GBV, LLB will conduct several activities using social media including Facebook, Twitter, blogs, photo contest, and other activities with youth.

LLB was formally founded in 2009 after several intensive discussions among women's rights activists on how to consolidate men and boy's contributions to ending GBV and enhancing gender equality. LLB is a network which involves women's organizations and is open for individuals activists who have common ideas on the importance of strengthening men's and boys' participation as a key strategy in GBV prevention and elimination. Currently, LLB includes a number of organizations such as Rifka Annisa (Yogyakarta), Jurnal Perempuan and Yayasan PULIH (Jakarta), Rumah Perempuan (Kupang), Cahaya Perempuan Women's Crisis Center (Bengkulu) and Aceh Men's Forum (Aceh).

Good Girls Don't Have to Dress Bad: A Style Guide for Every Woman
Zondervan, Aug 3, 2010 - Religion - 208 pages
In Good Girls Don't Have to Dress Bad, Shari Braendel teaches you how to appreciate the body God gave you and how to always look your best—from conquering the battle of finding the right swimsuit, to choosing how many bangles you should wear or how big your purse should be, to wearing the right style jeans that will best flatter your thighs or hips, to finding the best places to shop to suit your unique personal style. Many of us are watching reality TV shows to get a clue on how to dress right and look good. We hungrily purchase fashion magazines any time the cover article has something to do with how we can hide our despised body parts. We make mad dashes to the local department store to pick up the new anti-wrinkle cream Oprah promised will take ten years away from our face. We care about how we look. Why is that? Because we're women, and women love to look and feel good. God made us that way. And this is not a bad thing. In fact, it's a wonderful thing. God loves beauty. He doesn't want us to reflect his image being sloppy, disheveled women of God who don't pay any attention to what we look like. Good Girls Don't Have to Dress Bad will show you how to look and feel your best, no matter what day it is or what the occasion. And it will also stop you from screaming at the top of your lungs, "I have nothing to wear."

To briefly review various drug information resources
available to the community pharmacist and to be able to identify
appropriate resources when answering drug information queries.
After completing this activity, participants
should be able to:
With the expanding role of pharmacists, drug
information evaluation and
retrieval have become skills
essential to the profession. One of the competencies that current doctor
of pharmacy (PharmD) graduates must achieve
includes the ability to
"retrieve, analyze, and interpret the professional, lay,
and scientific literature to
provide drug information
and counseling to patients, their families or care givers,
and other involved health care providers."1 In practicing patient care, all pharmacists have the responsibility
to be effective drug information providers.
With the development of new drugs and the advancement of medication therapy, it has become very difficult for pharmacists and other health care professionals to keep abreast of all these changes. Furthermore,
patients are continually becoming more involved with
their health care by retrieving information independently. Many providers and patients prefer to direct
their health/medication-related questions to their community pharmacists because these professionals are
accessible to the public. Although pharmacists may
not always have the answer to every
question, they should know how to
approach a question and where to
locate this information.
The community pharmacist is asked
an array of questions every day. The
most common questions are related
to dosage and administration, adverse
effects, drug interactions, pharmacotherapy, and disease management,
including the use of nonprescription
medications and dietary supplements.2 In the research for appropriate recommendations, there is an assortment
of drug information resources to choose
from. Knowing the most
appropriate resource to
use in each situation and
how to effectively use those
tools will increase the likelihood of answering each
particular question completely and efficiently.3
There are three categories of drug information resources based upon
their proximity to the original source of information: primary, secondary,
and tertiary. Primary
resources are considered the raw material created
and written by an individual, a team, or organization.
Once published, this information serves as the basis
for secondary sources, which professionally index such
studies into a database. Tertiary sources are a compilation of the primary and secondary sources and tend
to be factual in nature.4
Primary drug information resources include randomized, controlled trials; cohort studies; case reports;
and others. This type of resource is considered to be
the most current source of information and forms the
basis for the practice of evidence-based medicine,
which is defined as the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence along with clinical
expertise and patients' values in making clinical decisions about the care of
individual patients.5 Some examples
of primary literature that may be of
interest may be found in pharmacy-related journals such as Pharmacotherapy, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy,
Journal of the American Pharmacists
Association, and American Journal
of Health-System Pharmacists and medical journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, and British
Medical Journal.
Advantages to the use of primary drug information resources include the ability to read details about
the individual studies, such as design, demographics, and statistical analysis, and assess the validity of
the study results. In addition, primary literature is
the most up-to-date information available; however,
there are some disadvantages to the use of primary
resources. First, the outcomes and conclusions made
in these resources may be misleading as they are based
upon a single clinical trial. Second, the reader must
be familiar with the process of evaluating pharmacy
and medical literature, and last, readers must dedicate much time to review the vast amount of available primary literature.3
Secondary resources serve as gateways to primary drug
information resources. These include indexing services, which provide bibliographic citation information, and abstracting services, which—along with the
bibliographic citation information—provide a brief
synopsis of each article. Most of these services are
available in an electronic format. These databases will
search literature from various journals, meetings, and
publications.3 Some of the more commonly used secondary resources include MEDLINE/PubMed, the
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Iowa
Drug Information Service (IDIS), and International
Pharmaceutical Abstracts (IPA). When utilizing these
resources, there are some challenges to keep in
mind. Search techniques are not the same for all
databases, requiring the user to be familiar with
each of the various information sources.
Tertiary drug information resources, which summarize and interpret the primary literature, are the most
common types of references that the community pharmacist will utilize. They are a good starting point
when researching a drug information question, as they
are excellent sources for gaining an understanding of
a new topic. Tertiary resources may include textbooks,
review articles, and other general data, including information found on the Internet.
As with all types of information, tertiary resources
have advantages and disadvantages. Some advantages include ease of use, convenience, and conciseness; however, disadvantages include the lag time associated with publication, which may be as long as
one to two years. It is possible that some of the information may be outdated, particularly if new guidelines or new material has been released since the
time of publication of the reference. Another consideration is that the information provided may be
incomplete due to space limitations or because of
incomplete literature searches performed by the author(s)
of the material.
Important characteristics of tertiary sources that
one should consider when utilizing these resources
are the expertise of the author, purpose of the book,
edition and year of publication, references cited,
ease of use, and format in which the information is
being obtained. Common tertiary resources that the
community pharmacist will find useful will be reviewed
in detail.
Drug Facts and Comparisons (F&C): This is one
of the drug information resources best known by pharmacists.6 Although it is available in many different
formats (i.e., bound books, CD-ROM, Web access),
the most common source utilized is the loose-leaf
binder that offers monthly updates to provide the
most recent FDA-approved and off-label information
regarding prescription and OTC medications. Information in F&C is organized by therapeutic topic, and
use of the index is necessary in order to function
within this reference. F&C utilizes helpful summary
and comparison tables in order to facilitate easy comparison of products within the same class. For example, this reference would be useful when comparing
oral contraceptives and their active ingredients.
American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS) Drug
Information: This resource is published by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and it
provides data on FDA-approved and off-label uses
of prescription medications, similarly to F&C.7 The
difference between the two references is that AHFS
Drug Information provides more detailed information
with evidence-based support, especially for a drug's
off-label use. This is one of AHFS's biggest advantages over other tertiary references. AHFS is published
annually, but it is also available as a Web-based reference and for personal digital assistants (PDAs). The
text is organized by pharmacologic classes, requiring
an index to search information efficiently.
USP Dispensing Information (USP DI): For
years, the USP DI has been a common resource utilized by community pharmacists. This reference includes
three volumes: I. For the Healthcare Professional; II. Advice for the Patient (in lay language); and III. Approved
Drug Products and the Legal Requirements.8-12 Volume I provides the reader with drug monograph information. It is an unbiased source of drug information
reviewed by a multidisciplinary team. Volume II offers
information that may be useful during patient counseling; however, it is important to note that the information is written at a 12th-grade reading level, which
may not be appropriate for all patients. Volume III contains therapeutic equivalency information (Orange
Book), guidelines for the packaging, labeling, and storage of medications, and legal requirements for the
dispensing of drugs. This three-volume set has been
published annually, but beginning in 2008 this
series will only be available online and as a PDA
program. Volumes I and II have been renamed Drug-Points and Detailed Drug Information for the Consumer, respectively. New features in DrugPoints include
evidence-based medicine ratings of indications, a new
toxicology section, a feature on black box warnings,
and images.
Drug Information Handbook: Lexi-Comp's Drug
Information Handbook is one of the most compact
text references available for pharmacists.13 This resource
contains abbreviated monographs on prescription medications and is well known for its useful charts and
comparison tables. It is easy to use and is organized in
alphabetical order according to a drug's generic name.
The handbook provides useful information when looking for a quick response to a simple drug information
request, such as indications, dosages, general adverse
effects, and drug interactions. The main disadvantage
to this reference is its conciseness, which results in
the elimination of some details from the monographs. The Drug Information Handbook provides an
updated edition annually to include new drugs and
updates to current medications. Lexi-Comp has also
published many supplementary additions to the original Drug Information Handbook for specific specialties, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, and oncology.
Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR): The PDR is a
compilation of drug package inserts.14 It does not
include all prescription medications because of
space limitations. A new PDR is published every year;
however, it is important to note that the information may not be updated with each annual publication. It is also important to note that only FDA-approved indications and dosages can be found within
the PDR.
Red Book: The Red Book is an extremely useful tool
when inquiring about dosage forms, package sizes,
average wholesale price (AWP), and manufacturers'
contact information.15 It also contains poison control center numbers and a list of sugar-free and alcohol-free medications. The reference is published annually and contains useful tables to assist in finding
Educational Textbooks: Textbooks of therapeutics
are a staple of pharmacy education. Two popular examples are Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach and Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs.16,17 Pharmcotherapeutic textbooks provide a general
overview of disease state topics and include patho-physiology, epidemiology, and treatment approaches.
These textbooks are most useful when an overview of
a disease state is necessary.
On a daily basis, community pharmacists will encounter
questions regarding self-care using nonprescription
drugs. Pharmacists should be prepared to handle these
Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs: The Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs has a similar design to Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach and Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs with
regard to topic review.18 This resource covers an
overview of therapeutic topics specifically designed
for self-treatable conditions. Therapeutic topics are
reviewed for self-treatable conditions and treatment
options are discussed. Community pharmacists will
find this reference particularly useful, especially since
they are the health care professionals who a patient
may approach first.
PDR for Nonprescription Drugs, Dietary Supplements and Herbs: In this resource, products are arranged
by therapeutic category and indication.19 It provides
a brief description about each therapeutic condition as
well as basic information regarding nonprescription
products for treatment. The information is organized
into charts, allowing for easy comparison of name,
strength, and dosage of various products.
Herbal products are being used increasingly in the
United States. In 1997, 12.1% of U.S. adults reported
using herbal products.20 As of 2002, this number had
increased to 18.6%.20 Because of this increased use
and awareness, more patients are asking pharmacists
about these products. Up to 50% of questions posed
to pharmacists are related to herbal products and
dietary supplements.21,22
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database: This
is one of the most comprehensive and useful resources
available for herbal and natural medicines.23 Available online, in print, and as a PDA program, it contains evidence-based referenced ratings on the efficacy and safety of both botanical and nonbotanical
products. Users can search by the ingredient name
or the brand name of the product in question. Combination products, which can be linked to monographs for each individual ingredient using the online
version, are also included. Each supplement monograph also provides a list of USP-verified products.
The patient handouts provided are unique in that
they are in question-and-answer format. The online
version also allows for searches using disease states
and includes a place to perform potential drug-supplement interaction reviews. The online version is
especially useful because it is frequently updated, while
the print version is published once annually.
PDR for Nonprescription Drugs, Dietary Supplements and Herbs: This resource contains information on select herbal and natural medicines; however,
the data may be limited as this publication focuses
largely on nonprescription drugs rather than the herbal
products.19 The information provided can be used for
a quick, at-a-glance view, but may not be enough to
use to make a clinical decision about therapy.
Natural Standard: This is a peer-reviewed online
resource that offers an evidence-based rating system
of efficacy for various uses of each product.24 Each monograph provides brief details about each study in
user-friendly charts. The user is given in-depth information that is useful in clinical decision making. The
book, abridged desktop, and PDA versions are available for individual purchase; however, the online version is only available for institutional subscription.
Tertiary references also include Internet-based resources.
Some useful tertiary references that are Web-based
include Micromedex, Clinical Pharmacology, and
Lexi-Comp Online.
Micromedex: Micromedex is a popular Web-based
resource.25 Using one search box, a clinician is able
to search many different databases that include detailed
and summarized drug information, toxicology, alternative medicine, and reproductive risk evaluation.
Micromedex's detailed information highlights Drugdex, PDR, and Martindale's (for use in searching foreign
medications). The toxicology information that is
included with these resources is trademarked as Poisindex and Identidex. Poisindex identifies ingredients for
commercial, biological, and pharmaceutical products
and delivers summarized toxicology data. Identidex
allows the pharmacist to identify a medication using
its embossed lettering or numbering and other descriptive characteristics, such as color and shape. Other
useful tools in this resource include a drug interaction reviewing tool, patient education leaflets for both
prescription drugs and dietary supplements, and clinical calculators to help determine body mass index,
ideal body weight, metric conversions, and others.
Clinical Pharmacology: Clinical Pharmacology is a
Web-based application providing a vast array of information that is both thorough and practical.26 It has
multiple functions, allowing users to obtain product
information, view monographs, identify medications,
and print patient education materials. The site also
contains drug class overviews, various interactions
(including drug–drug, drug–herbal, drug–nutritional,
and drug–food interactions), and full-color product
Lexi-Comp Online: In addition to the compact handbook discussed above, Lexi-Comp also provides Web-based and PDA resources with annual subscriptions.27 Lexi-Comp Online offers a convenient way to
search medications quickly and easily. Once a medication is searched, the user can scroll through various parts of the drug monograph using the simple
drop-down menu. This allows the user to move
from section to section with ease and speed. Other
features included are a drug-interaction reviewing
tool, patient education leaflets, a drug-identification
database, lists of drug recalls and shortages, and recent
drug news.
The Internet is being increasingly used as a resource
when answering drug information questions, and it
is especially useful when timely information is required.
While many reputable Web sites are useful for obtaining information, one should be aware that not all Web
sites are reputable. Some things to assess when
determining whether the information contained on a
site is trustworthy include the authors of the information, financial support of the site, presence of misleading advertisements, and the frequency of updates.
Due to the variable nature of information on the Internet, the Health on the Net Foundation has developed
a list of principles that improve quality and reliability of health information. Submission of a Web site's
information to the foundation is voluntary, but if submitted and approved, the site may display its symbol,
known as the HON code. A pharmacist can be more
confident that the information on the site is reliable
if this symbol is displayed. Detailed information regarding these principles can be found at http://www.hon.ch.
Food and Drug Administration: The FDA's Web site
is an important source of information regarding the
most recent drug-related news, including drug approvals,
recalls, and safety warnings.28 It is the home of
MedWatch, the national adverse event reporting system (AERS). Users will also find the Orange Book with therapeutic equivalency codes at this site.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): The CDC Web site is an essential resource when
looking for information regarding prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.29 There is an abundance of information to be found on topics regarding infectious disease, including annually updated
immunization recommendations and scheduling, travelers' health, and treatment guidelines for infectious diseases.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists: One of the most useful aspects of this Web site is that
it provides information about drug shortages, including recommendations for alternative treatments.30
Medscape: Medscape is a free Internet resource that
provides health care professional–specific information. It is organized into sections by medical specialty,
including one for pharmacists.31 The Web site provides numerous items of evidence-based information,
including free access to some journals and many
useful review articles.
There are several patient populations that require special attention when it comes to providing drug
information. These populations include pediatric
patients, geriatric patients, and pregnant and lactating women. The section below details some resources
that may be useful when researching information on
patients who fall into these categories.
Medication use in children requires special attention.
It is important to remember that children are not small adults, and that adult drug information may
not necessarily apply to children. Bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics may all differ
in children as compared to the adult patient. Following the thalidomide tragedy of the 1960s, the FDA
mandated that a specific section of every drug's monograph address indications for children.32 As of 1994,
67% to 75% of all drugs approved by the FDA for
adults were not approved for use in children.33 Since
then, several FDA acts have been introduced to bridge
this gap. This lack of information presents a dilemma
for the pharmacist when dispensing medications
that lack FDA approval for use in children. References that include off-label uses are very useful and
essential to ensure proper dosage and use of medications in this patient population.
Some important definitions to know when researching pediatric information include premature (born
before 37 weeks' gestational age), neonate (between
1 day and 1 month of life), infant (1 month to 1
year of life), child (1 year to 11 years), and adolescent (12 to 16 years).34 For neonates born prematurely,
there is more terminology to further categorize this
population. These terms may be used to predict maturation of the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys,
and the liver in order to guide proper medication dosing. The gestational age indicates time from conception to the date of birth, the postnatal age signifies
the number of days or weeks since birth, and the post-conceptional/postmenstrual age means the time from
conception to the current date.
An additional difficulty encountered with pediatric patients is the frequent lack of suitable dosage
forms. Some medications must be compounded into
a formulation that can be administered to an infant
or child. This may lead to questions regarding stability and bioavailability. Dosage guidelines for
pediatric patients vary according to each drug. Some
dosages are calculated by weight, while some are determined by body surface area.
When considering an inquiry about a pediatric
patient, some important questions to ask may include
the patient's weight, height, and age (in weeks, months,
or years, as appropriate). For neonates, it may be
important to know the gestational age at which the
patient was born, especially in the case of premature
Many general tertiary references contain pediatric
drug information, including F&C, AHFS, and
Micromedex; however, the references listed below are
specifically designed for pediatric patients.
NeoFax: This is the standard neonatal reference.35 Every drug is listed on one to two pages according
to the class of medication to which it belongs. Most
medication dosages include a chart of dosing according to the postmenstrual and postnatal age to indicate dosing interval. While NeoFax is used widely
for neonates, the pharmacist must remember that as
the neonate reaches a postconceptional age of 41
weeks, infant dosing now should be applied because
of organ maturity.
The Harriet Lane Handbook: A Manual for Pediatric House Officers: This reference has been used
for many years by the medical and pharmacy staff.36 It is a guide for pediatric therapy management that
can be carried in a lab coat and includes useful
tables and concise information, including dosage and
administration of medications.
Pediatric Dosage Handbook: This is the most useful reference for dosing medications in children.37 Off-label uses are presented along with references supporting the recommended doses. Information on compounding extemporaneous preparations is provided.
The information is concise and is based on the literature. It is also updated annually and has appendices
for useful information about normal vital signs in
children, medications that can be crushed, and the sugar content of medications that has to be accounted
for in a child who is placed on a ketogenic diet.
In terms of pharmacotherapy, the geriatric population is defined as persons aged 65 years and older.
This population requires that special care be given
to their medications for several reasons. First,
most organ systems experience a decline in function as a person ages, often leading to reduced renal
and hepatic function. This means that lower dosages
or longer intervals are often recommended in
older patients, and toxicity may occur more frequently. Second, since the older patient frequently
has multiple disease states, polypharmacy is often
encountered. This leads to the potential for numerous drug interactions, as well as problems with medication adherence.
When answering a drug information request involving a geriatric patient, some questions to ask may
include the patient's age, height, weight, concomitant
medications, concomitant disease states, and renal
and hepatic function.
Geriatric Dosage Handbook: The Geriatric Dosage
Handbook is the geriatric version of the Drug
Information Handbook.38 It is organized alphabetically by generic and brand names. Each drug monograph contains useful information on medication
safety issues, availability of generic products, geriatric dosage, dosage in renal and hepatic impairment, and special geriatric considerations. Also useful is the large appendix at the end of the book,
which contains drug comparison tables, methods for
assessing renal function, management of diseases
commonly seen in the geriatric population, and other
helpful information.
Drug use in pregnancy is one of the most difficult
types of questions for a pharmacist to answer. One
reason for this is the lack of adequate data. Research
conducted in animals can give us information about
the teratogenic effects of drugs; however, it is often
difficult to apply these data to humans. Most human
data come from case reports and epidemiologic studies and not from clinical trials due to the ethical
dilemma that type of study would pose.39
Another reason these questions are difficult to
answer is that not all adverse effects to the fetus are
easy to identify. Some effects are physical and easily
seen, such as anatomic malformations. Behavioral and
functional problems are much more difficult to see
and quantify, especially those that do not manifest
until a child is older.
There are numerous aspects of drug use to consider
during pregnancy.40 Physiologic changes in the mother,
including gastric pH, increases in plasma volume,
changes in hormone levels, and increased glomerular
blood flow, can greatly influence drug pharmacokinetics. Other things to consider include the potential
transfer of the drug through the placenta to the
fetus, which may be affected by the drug's molecular
weight, maternal dose, protein binding, lipid solubility, and ionization at physiologic pH. Some information to obtain when answering a question about drug
use in pregnancy includes which trimester the mother
is in and the intended maternal dose.
Most general tertiary resources include information about drug use in pregnancy. The package
insert will include the risk rating as assigned by the
manufacturer. While the risk rating can offer some
guidance, it is often too simplistic when evaluating
an issue as complex as drug use during pregnancy.
Briggs' Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation: The
most commonly used reference for pregnant and nursing women is Briggs' Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation.41 It is organized in alphabetical order by generic
name and also includes information on illicit drugs.
Each drug monograph includes the pregnancy risk
rating established by the drug's manufacturer and
information for use during breast-feeding, and
offers a summary of clinical information currently
available. For those drugs that do not have an assigned
rating, the authors have assigned a pregnancy risk.
Breast-feeding is widely known to be beneficial for
the nursing infant owing to transfer of nutrients,
immune factors, growth factors, and hormones from
the mother to the child. Benefits to the mother
include weight loss after birth and decreased risk of
ovarian cancer, premenopausal breast cancer, and
Factors that influence the passage of a drug into
breast milk include molecular weight, protein binding, lipid solubility, and maternal dose. Important
information to obtain when answering a drug-use
question during breast-feeding includes the age and
weight of the child and the intended maternal dose.
Often, specific information about passage into breast
milk is not available, and the clinician must use drug-related factors such as molecular weight and protein
binding to make a recommendation.
Briggs' Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation: Each
drug monograph within Briggs' Drugs in Pregnancy
and Lactation contains a section on breast-feeding
issues.41 The authors assign a breast-feeding compatibility rating and include the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) rating where possible.
American Academy of Pediatrics: Transfer of Drugs
and Other Chemicals Into Human Milk: First
published in 1983, this AAP policy statement was
updated most recently in 2001.42 This policy statement includes lists of drugs and chemicals transferred
into human milk and describes their possible effects
on the infant or on lactation. Some drugs and
chemicals are not included within the tables, which
indicates that information for these agents was not
available. Also included are illicit drugs and drugs of
abuse, psychotropic drugs, effects of smoking, and
breast implants and lactation issues.
The World Health Organization: Breastfeeding and
Maternal Medication: This document, published by
the World Health Organization in 2002, offers ratings for drugs for compatibility during breast-feeding and recommendations for monitoring infants
for adverse effects.43
Medications and Mother's Milk: This useful resource
offers the author's safety rating for use during
breast-feeding.44 Another useful aspect of this reference is the inclusion of documented and theoretical
adverse events in the breast feeding infant that a clinician and mother should be aware of. The AAP rating is also included when available.
Resources, whether in print or online, should be
assessed for quality and reliability. First, the source of
information in terms of authors and editors should
be questioned. Are the authors well qualified to write
on the topic? Second, the information should be appropriately referenced and evidence based. Third,
financial disclosures should be made. Fourth, the
information should be as current as possible. Other
aspects that may be assessed include ease of use, portability (if necessary), and cost. As noted above, Web
sites should be assessed for quality as well.
A systematic approach to answering a drug information question has been developed and widely accepted.45 The process starts by receiving the question and obtaining the demographics of the requestor. Requestor-specific information will help the pharmacist appropriately answer the question posed. The second step is
to obtain necessary background information. Here
is where the pharmacist would determine if the
question is patient specific and, if so, would ask about
patient age and weight, allergies, concomitant medications, etc. Once this information is obtained, the
pharmacist can determine and categorize the question, and this will help guide an appropriate search
strategy. After synthesizing and analyzing the search
results, the pharmacist can then formulate and deliver
a clear recommendation. Finally, the pharmacist should
document the question and conduct follow-up with
the requestor as necessary.
With the ever-changing field of medicine, pharmacists are faced with new information on a daily
basis. To provide optimum patient care, pharmacists
must stay abreast of current events in health care,
updated clinical guidelines, and new drugs and indications. There are many options to help individual
pharmacists stay current, including participating in
professional organizations and publications. Many of
the resources discussed above may also serve as a
way for pharmacists to stay current.
There are many pharmacy magazines, such as U.S.
Pharmacist, Pharmacy Times, and Drug Topics, that
offer information on a variety of topics, including
clinical reviews, pharmacy law, patient education,
nonprescription products, and product news, as well
as continuing education (CE) courses.
PL is a Web-based service offered to pharmacists
through a yearly subscription.46 PL's services include
brief, well-summarized discussions of topics currently in health care news. Useful comparison charts
with links to their detailed documents are available.
Detailed documents that accompany most of the
PL's summaries direct the clinician to primary
resources for further information. Pharmacists
may also obtain CE credits through programs offered
through PL's services.
The Web site www.pharmacist.com provides updates
in drug news in a concise, easy-to-read format.47 It provides information from the FDA Web site as well
as updates in clinical pharmacy practice and new drug
Community pharmacists frequently encounter questions from other health care professionals, patients,
and their families. With the rapid advancement of
medicine today, it is important to know where to find
information when faced with an inquiry, to provide
the most current and relevant response. Familiarity
with the various resources will help the pharmacist provide drug information more efficiently in the fast-paced environment of community pharmacy.

Stephen Ryan Gibson of Raleigh underwent surgery this afternoon at Wake Medical Centerhospital after state and local officers shot him as he climbed out of a car involved in a high-speed chase on Interstate 40.
Authorities say the chase spanned four counties and ended on Raleigh's south side.
The state Highway Patrol says the chase began after a man driving a white Chrysler 300 robbed a B-P Station in Magnolia late this morning. A Duplin County sheriff's deputy pursued the suspect, and says the car at some point exceeded speeds of greater than 100 miles per hour.
Officers followed the car on westbound I-40. Stop sticks were thrown in Johnston County to stop the car. A third set of stop sticks deflated the tires.
The driver lost control of the car and caused a chain-reaction wreck involving two other cars.
Troopers say they saw the suspect moving between the front seat and back seat. He climbed out of the passenger side with his torso showing and displaying a weapon.

Overkill and Valve to Collaborate on New Left 4 Dead Project
Overkill Entertainment, developer of Payday: The Heist, has revealed that they are collaborating with Valve in order to create a blend of their own bank robbing title and the infamous zombie charging series, Left 4 Dead.
Hot on the heels of the recent success of The Walking Dead Telltale Episode, it seems that there is never a bad time for more undead carnage and following a bout of easily dismissed rumours, it seems that there is truth in the speculation of Valve getting together with Overkill for what sounds like a dream project.
Taking to the official Overkill Entertainment website, games director Ulf Andersson was more than happy to break the news:
"As perceptive gamers will have noticed, several hints have recently been dropped into Payday: The Heist, which has led to various rumors. We are excited to be able to confirm that an in-depth collaboration between Overkill and Valve is currently in production.
"We are working on a very cool blend of Payday and Left 4 Dead. I am sure it is so exciting that it will have some players check into the hospital before we are done."
With both titles relying upon 4 person co-operative play, the blend seems obvious; steal the money, but also defeat the zombie hordes at the same time. At this moment, an upgraded 'sequel' for Payday: The Heist is in the works, leading to speculation that it could be this title which reveals the collaboration between developers. For the time being, we will keep our eyes glued to the Overkill website, as some "infectious" information is promised to be heading our way.

We knew Adele was a fan of Beyoncé when we saw her mouthing "Love On Top" during B's performance at the 2011 VMAs. But now we're convinced Adele is a full-on STAN for Queen B thanks to this photo she tweeted yesterday. Adele said, "I'm in bed, watchin 'Gladiator,' eatin an apple. Heres a pic of me & Queen B last wk in NYC! X," along with this photo of the "Someone Like You" singer (in a MAYJAH fur hat) doing her best impression of Beyoncé on the cover of the "Live At Roseland" DVD.
OK, your turn, Beyoncé! You've said you were a fan of Adele in the past, so now we'd love to see you sitting in a room full of glasses of water, giving your best go at "Rolling In The Deep." OMG CAN YOU IMAGINE? Guys, my heart rate is rising just thinking about this — Adele loves Beyoncé, and Beyoncé loves Adele, and the world is perfect, and everything was beautiful and nothing hurt, OMFG!!!!!!!!

Andrew Garfield had to be thrilled when he found out he won the title role in Sony's upcoming Spider-Man reboot. A relative unknown outside of the U.K., Garfield is taking over a franchise that has made more than $2 billion dollars in worldwide box office, gets to work with up-and-coming director Marc Webb, and become rich beyond compare. Eventually. Deadline reports that the entire reboot is taking a pay cut, including Garfield, who will earn $500,000 in his first outing as Peter Parker.
Think about it: Bringing that paycheck back to the U.K. will split it in half after calculating the exchange rate, taxes will take another huge chunk, then there are agency fees, and once you deduct all that you only get ... a sum of money that is still more money than most people will make in a year.
To put Garfield's salary in perspective, however, SlashFilm reports that former Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire made $4 million for Spider-Man with paychecks that only became more obnoxious as the trilogy went on. However, 2002's Spider-Man had a budget of $140 million, while the reboot will be made for a much leaner $80 million. Before anyone starts to feel bad for Garfield, the actor stands to earn $1 million for a sequel, and $2 million for a second sequel, still less than Maguire's $17.5 million and $15 million, but the sympathy party can safely end for now.
The real question remains: Can Webb and Garfield deliver a movie that will please fans who embraced the original trilogy? With Sam Raimi and Maguire moving onto other things, will the reboot find the same success?
And who is the villain? Seriously.

2011 Survey of the Afghan People: Growing Fear in Afghanistan
November 16, 2011
Just yesterday, on November 15 in Kabul and Washington, D.C., The Asia Foundation released the results of its 2011 Survey of the Afghan People. The annual Survey of the Afghan People is the most comprehensive and credible nationwide poll of public opinion on topics related to national mood, governance, security, and development in Afghanistan. In 2011, the survey polled over 6,300 respondents from all 34 provinces of Afghanistan.

'Food Security' Merges with Mainstream Security Concerns
February 9, 2011
In the aftermath of the global food price crisis of 2007-08, world food prices have been steadily rising, reaching an all-time high in January since the United Nations began recording in 1990. Coupled with cries from the Arab world for "bread and freedom!" food security has at last penetrated mainstream debate and high-level policy making. While food security has until recently been classified as a "non-traditional security" topic, current discussions have been prominent, loud, and often vehement enough to take on the visibility and attention…

Pulmonary Rehabilitation in the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Article
ABSTRACT: Pulmonary rehabilitation is a nonpharmacologic therapy that has emerged as a standard of care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, patient-centered intervention that includes patient assessment, exercise training, self-management education, and psychosocial support. In the United States, pulmonary rehabilitation is usually given in outpatient, hospital-based programs lasting six to 12 weeks. Positive outcomes from pulmonary rehabilitation include increased exercise tolerance, reduced dyspnea and anxiety, increased self-efficacy, and improvement in health-related quality of life. Hospital admissions after exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are also reduced with this intervention. The positive outcomes associated with pulmonary rehabilitation are realized without demonstrable improvements in lung function. This paradox is explained by the fact that pulmonary rehabilitation identifies and treats the systemic effects of the disease. This intervention should be considered in patients who remain symptomatic or have decreased functional status despite optimal medical management. Medicare now covers up to 36 sessions of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with moderate, severe, and very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Ten Commandments for the Care of Terminally Ill Patients - Editorials
Primary Care of Infants and Young Children with Down Syndrome - Article
ABSTRACT: Down syndrome is caused by triplicate material of chromosome 21. The syndrome has a variable physical expression, but congenital cardiac defects, transient myelodysplasia of the newborn and duodenal atresia are highly specific for this chromosomal disorder. Routine health maintenance is important because infants and children with Down syndrome are more likely to have otitis media, thyroid disease, congenital cataracts, leukemoid reactions, dental problems and feeding difficulties. Since infants with this syndrome are prone to respiratory infections, immunization recommendations should be followed closely. Motor, language, social and adaptive skills should be assessed at each office visit. The psychosocial aspects of care should be discussed with the parents of an infant with Down syndrome. If necessary, the parents should be referred to family support and specialty resources. Institutionalization of infants with Down syndrome is now unlikely. With newer surgical techniques, early therapy to minimize developmental delay and proper health supervision, the functional prognosis for infants with Down syndrome is considerably improved.

Successful Management of the Obese Patient - Article
ABSTRACT: Obesity is a chronic disease that affects a substantial number of Americans. Obesity significantly increases a person's risk of cardiovascular diseases and morbidity. Modification of lifestyle behaviors that contribute to obesity (e.g., inappropriate diet and inactivity) is the cornerstone of treatment. Behavior modification involves using such techniques as self-monitoring, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, stress management and social support to systematically alter obesity-related behaviors. In addition, adjunctive pharmacotherapy can play an important role in the routine medical management of obesity.

A Practical Guide to Caring for Caregivers - Article
ABSTRACT: Patients who provide care to family members or friends with dementia are likely to be in a family physician's practice. The caregiver role can be stressful, and identifying these patients can give the family physician opportunities to help patients cope with the challenges of the caregiver role. Family physicians have a systematic approach for assessing the degree of caregiver burden in these patients. Because caregivers are at increased risk for depression and anxiety, screening should be done to exclude the presence of either disorder. The caregiver's skill in managing behavioral problems in the family member with dementia should be assessed. If there are problems, family physicians should provide practical counseling about common caregiving stresses and about resources that benefit caregivers. Helping the caregiver learn strategies for coping with difficulties may help reduce some of the stress the caregiver is experiencing.

Caregiver Care - Article
ABSTRACT: In 2009, nearly 66 million Americans (three in 10 U.S. households) reported at least one person providing unpaid care as a family caregiver. More adults with chronic conditions and disabilities are living at home than ever before, and family caregivers have an even higher level of responsibility. Caring for loved ones is associated with several benefits, including personal fulfillment. However, caregiving is also associated with physical, psychological, and financial burdens. Primary care physicians can aid in the identification, support, and treatment of caregivers by offering caregiver assessments—interviews directed at identifying high levels of burden—as soon as caregivers are identified. Repeat assessments may be considered when there is a change in the status of caregiver or care recipient. Caregivers should be directed to appropriate resources for support, including national caregiving organizations, local area agencies on aging, Web sites, and respite care. Psychoeducational, skills-training, and therapeutic counseling interventions for caregivers of patients with chronic conditions such as dementia, cancer, stroke, and heart failure have shown small to moderate success in decreasing caregiver burden and increasing caregiver quality of life. Further research is needed to further identify strategies to offset caregiver stress, depression, and poor health outcomes. Additional support and anticipatory guidance for the care recipient and caregiver are particularly helpful during care transitions and at the care recipient's end of life.

Obamacare will affect hundreds of businesses and employees, as it imposes penalties to young workers who choose to have cheap health insurance rather than an expensive one. To adjust with the policies stipulated in the act, companies and employees will be given one year to prepare.
One of the provisions entailed in the new law on healthcare commands open market creation for the healthcare industry. Healthcare insurance exchanges will permit uninsured employees to buy affordable healthcare plans. It is expected that there will be a stiff competition among healthcare insurance companies, so the consumers will emerge as winners.
In due course, employees may also choose to provide subsidies for employees to look for coverage through the exchanges instead of providing plans sponsored by the company. As of now, it is still not clear as to how the newly enacted law will affect the insurance's cost once it is officially implemented next year. Some expect that the prices will rise as more ill individuals will enter the pool of health insurance. On the other hand, some expect that it will be more affordable as a higher number of healthy people will buy health insurance.
There is also a possibility that the health benefits will be reduced, as Obamacare will make individuals pay more for their company-sponsored health insurance. To deal with this, individuals must have a spending account or health savings account that goes along with their health plans. This will permit them to pay for their medical expenses with pre-tax money, so they can save 20%-30% on a portion of their health expense.
The implementation of Obamacare is fast approaching. This is the reason why the government currently urges companies and employees to prepare for this act before it is finally implemented. There are several ways on how to prepare for Obamacare. Individuals just have to know the step-by-step procedures for them to reap its benefits.
For more information about Obamacare and its provisions, send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com or call +49 163 4343695. Interested individuals can also visit Zenner Street 981379 Munich, Germany or visit http://www.credit-and-insurance.com/.

<title>Clustering OSCache</title>

New in OSCache 2.0 is support for clustering of caches. OSCache currently ships with
implementations that allow you to use either JavaGroups
or JMS as the underlying broadcast protocol.

Caches across a cluster only broadcast messages when flush events occur. This means that the
content of the caches are built up independently on each server, but whenever content becomes
stale on one server it is made stale on them all. This provides a very high performing solution
since we never have to pass cached objects around the cluster. And since there is no central
server that is in charge of the cluster, the clustering is very robust.

Configuring OSCache to cluster is very simple. Follow either the JMS or the JavaGroups instructions
below depending on which protocol you want to use.

JMS Configuration

Configure your JMS server. OSCache requires that a JMS ConnectionFactory and a Topic
are available via JNDI. See your JMS server's documentation for details.

Add the JMS broadcasting listener to your oscache.properties file like this:

(Note that this listener requires JMS 1.1 or higher, however legacy support for 1.0.x is also provided.
If your JMS server only supports JMS 1.0.x then use JMS10BroadcastingListener instead of
JMSBroadcastingListener. The rest of this documentation applies equally to both the 1.1 and 1.0

The JMS listener supports the following configuration parameters:

cache.cluster.jms.topic.factory - The JNDI name that binds the JMS topic connection factory. This
should match the name that is specified in your JMS server's configuration. Typically it will be something like

cache.cluster.jms.topic.name - The JNDI name of the topic that will be used for the OSCache
sending the messages. This should match the name of a topic that is configured on your JMS server. Typically
this value will be something like "java:comp/env/jms/OSCacheTopic".

cache.cluster.jms.node.name - A name that uniquely identifies this node in the cluster. This is used
to prevent nodes from processing their own broadcast messages. Each node in the cluster must have a different
value, for example "node1", "node2", ... .

If you are running OSCache from a standalone application or are not running in an environment where
new InitialContext() will find your JNDI InitialContextFactory or provider URL,
you will have to specify them either in a jndi.properties file or as system properties. See the
InitalContext
documentation for details.

JavaGroups Configuration

Just make sure you have jgroups-all.jar file in your classpath (for a webapp put it in WEB-INF/lib),
and add the JavaGrops broadcasting listener to your oscache.properties file like this:

In most cases, that's it! OSCache will now broadcast any cache flush events across the LAN. The jgroups-all.jar
library is not included with the binary distribution due to its size, however you can obtain it either by downloading
the full oscache distribution, or by visiting the JavaGroups website.

If you want to run more than one OSCache cluster on the same LAN, you will need to use different
multicast IP addresses. This allows the caches to exist in separate multicast groups and therefore
not interfere with each other. The IP to use can be specified in your oscache.properties
file by the cache.cluster.multicast.ip property. The default value is 188.8.131.52,
however you can use any class D IP address. Class D address fall in the range 126.96.36.199
through 18.104.22.168.

If you need more control over the multicast configuration (eg setting network timeout or time-to-live
values), you can use the cache.cluster.properties configuration property. Use this
instead of the cache.cluster.multicast.ip property. The default value is:

See the JavaGroups site for more information. In particular,
look at the documentation of Channels in the User's Guide.
