Penn: Some patients feel relieved when they receive a mood disorder diagnosis, because it helps explain why they have felt bad for so long. Others, of course, find the diagnosis difficult to accept and resist it. Haning: Some understand that having a mood disorder is going to complicate their prognosis and give them a harder time in life. They will contest the diagnosis with you. Nues: Patients also resist because plenty of stigma still surrounds mood disorders. A line I hear occasionally is, "I'm not crazy, I'm a drug addict. I don't need to see any shrink and mexitil.
FIFTEEN PERCENT indicated little last year and was dropped for his finale when near the back after a poor beginning; he again draws the inside post to begin this season and is hopeful of progress. BLACK RAPID was last in his only start May 10th; he now drops down and adds lasix and has had interim prepping on the training track for John MacKenzie. CONTRABAND had a runner up finish two starts ago against a sharp winner; most recently when dropped down, he regressed. ASCOTS PROSPECT showed promise in his opener with a rallying third place finish; for his second start, he stretched to seven furlongs and finished near the back. POOR TO FAIR a first time starter for Sandy McPherson, is by Rock And Roll a multiple stakes winner; he has trained regularly at five furlongs getting ready for this opener and David Garcia gets the call. BEAR CHARACTER TOO had a speed approach May 4th but faltered to be sixth; he put up a quick work May 18th in 1.00.2 getting ready for this third run of the year. BON ECHO performed poorly in his debut May 17th; Deverell takes over. DRS TRADEMARK had good positioning in his races at Tampa but he failed to hit the board in five starts this winter; he moves to the stable of Anne Cameron and worked here May 8 th in 1.01.2. TEMPTING THE WOLF had a fringe effort for , 000 to begin this campaign; he was moved up in value last time where he had sharp early speed but he stopped in that race; he is hoping this sharp drop will be the answer. KAZILLION was getting his third race of the meeting May 14th but was only seventh of 14 after a wide trip. RANDY DANDY is worth considering given the key opponents he has been facing; he now runs for only , 500 with a big drop for Mike Doyle. KEMPADOO had a promising finale November 18th when dropped to this level; he began this year at a protected evaluation and was last. HIGHLAND HEAT is seeking his first share in this his tenth lifetime start; his seasonal bow resulted in a ninth place finish when he had difficulty at the gate. INDIAN ARM has been more consistent lately while finishing on the edges; most recently at five furlongs, he was beaten late but took the place award; he should have speed from the widest post here.

This series brings you up-to-date information about medication safety issues and strategies to prevent medication errors. It draws on Australian incidents and also US experience, including with permission ; material from ISMP Medication Safety Alert! a bulletin published by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, USA ismp . This series is coordinated through the Committee of Specialty Practice in Medication Safety Chair, Rosemary Burke, Director of Pharmacy, Concord Hospital, NSW ; . Australian incidents are collated and editorial recommendations made by Penny Thornton Federal Councillor, SHPA, and Pharmacy Services Manager, The Children's Hospital, NSW; e-mail: pennyt2 chw .au ; . AUSTRALIAN INCIDENTS Watch the `C' look-alikes! A patient was recently admitted with an INR 8, after she had inadvertently been dispensed Coumadin 5 mg instead of Coversyl 5 mg by her community pharmacy. [Australian Incident 60, April 2007] Even oral syringes do not stop a determined parent A non-English speaking mother whose child with leukaemia, was half way through a course of chemotherapy for which she had administered multiple doses of oral medication using oral syringes. She had also observed nurses administering chemotherapy through her daughter's central IV line cannula. She was to give the first dose of oral mercaptopurine in the evening at home, while returning to the hospital each day for parenteral chemotherapy. Her pharmacist, through the interpreter, described use of the oral syringe and as well as the verbal message, she used gestures with her hands to ensure the mother knew to give the dose orally. On return to the ward, the medical and nursing staff each reinforced this message and were all convinced she had understood. Once home, she drew the mercaptopurine dose up in the oral syringe and then held it to her daughter's central line IV port and gave the suspension IV, following it with a flush of tap water! On the ward the next day, she told the interpreter it had been quite difficult to inject the mercaptopurine but that she had managed and had not spilt any! The child was admitted and despite staphylococcal septicaemia which resolved, did not suffer any further adverse effects. The mother was devastated when she found out what she had done. It was believed that knowing that this drug was chemotherapy, she had interpreted this to mean that it should be administered IV, despite advice to the contrary. To prevent this from recurring, the hospital is developing an oral syringe diagrammatic leaflet to be handed to all patients carers receiving oral syringes. It may be possible to also attach diagrammatic stickers to IV lines ports. It is also a good idea to have parents demonstrate administration of the first dose of medication under supervision if there are several routes of administration available. [Australian Incident 61, July 2007] Potential new product confusion? Nutrition Care Pharmaceuticals have just listed a new COX-2 inhibitor cumerone 1200 Nalgesic ; as an OTC product on the Australian market. Please be alert to potential confusion with both generic and trade names of this product. Possibilities are: cumerone and Coumadin, Nalgesic and Norgesic. Drug storage by generic name should separate these products so we believe selection will not be a source of error but they may well be mistaken in written or verbal communication. [Australian Incident 62, August 2007] US SAFETY BRIEFS Numerous problematic name pairs relegated to history A review of important post-marketing brand name changes fostered by practitioner error reports follows. Shortly after the launch of Losec omeprazole ; in 1989, reports of confusion with Lasix frusemide ; began to arrive. ISMP notified FDA and Merck, which marketed the drug with Astra in the US. Within 6 months, the number of reports exceeded 100, and FDA suggested a name change. Merck was reluctant to change the name, in part because it only had marketing rights to the name in the US, and believed that the issue would resolve as familiarity with the trademark grew. But when a death was reported, Merck decided to change Losec to Prilosec in the US. Unfortunately, the name change introduced an unanticipated problem: mix-ups between Prilosec and Prozac fluoxetine ; , but these errors were not as numerous or as serious as mix-ups between Losec and Lasix. ISMP has received several reports of mix-ups in which the antidiabetic drug Amaryl glimepiride ; was dispensed to geriatric patients instead of the Alzheimer's drug Reminyl galantamine ; . Each drug is available in a 4 mg tablet along with other strengths. Several elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease required hospitalisation for severe hypoglycaemia after receiving Amaryl by mistake. In 2005, Janssen agreed to change the brand name of Reminyl to Razadyne. Since then, no mix-ups between the drugs have been reported, although there has been a report of confusion between Razadyne and the sleep aid, Rozerem ramelteon ; . Reports of mix-ups between non-proprietary names have also resulted in name changes. For example, ISMP has petitioned to change the name of amrinone, an inotrope, due to mix-ups, with amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic. The drugs have pharmacological effects that might oppose one another, share similar dose ranges, and may be used in similar patient populations. In 1992, amrinone was changed to inamrinone, resolving the problem. Today, most drug companies field test drug names with practitioners before finalising the brand name to avoid similarities with other brand or generic names. [ISMP Medication Safety Alert! 26 July 2007] Ongoing, preventable fatal events with fentanyl patches! Despite warnings from the FDA, manufacturers, and various patient safety agencies, fentanyl transdermal patches continue to be prescribed inappropriately to treat acute pain in opiate-naive patients, sometimes in large doses or in combination with oral or IV opiates. Some of the prescribing errors have occurred in hospitals, others have originated in physician offices or ambulatory surgery centres, where misinformed primary care physicians or surgeons have prescribed the drug for opiate-naive patients under contraindicated circumstances such as acute postoperative pain. Unfortunately, pharmacists have often filled these prescriptions without question, and nurses caring for patients have applied the patches without recognising the prescribing error. Two years ago Ortho-McNeil Janssen ; maker of Duragesic fentanyl transdermal ; , issued a `Dear Health Professional' letter to bring attention to new boxed warnings in the product label related to improper prescribing. Likewise, FDA issued a Public Health Advisory fda.gov cder drug advisory fentanyl to alert health professionals that deaths and overdoses had occurred in patients using both the brand name product Duragesic and the generic product. Despite these warnings, label changes, and publication of prescribing problems, some practitioners still seem unaware of the dangers with this potent narcotic and the proper prescribing guidelines Table 1 ; . In May we reported that an.
Diuretics are used to reduce excess fluid in the body, by stimulating urine formation in the kidneys. By reducing fluid retention, the work of the heart is decreased and blood pressure drops. A common medication used is furosemide Lasix ; . Other diuretic medications, such as Hydrochlorothiazide Hydrodiuril ; act in a different way; by reducing the resistance to blood flow they lower blood pressure, which in turn reduces the work of the heart and norpace.
If you have a gram of proteinuria or more, it behooves you to get the blood pressure down, actually to 120 if you can, because those people tend to have better outcomes than [those with] having higher pressures. With that exception, less than 130 80 is really where you want to be. Richard A. Lafayette: And one additional comment is that the blood pressure goal itself may not be sufficient. If you do get the patient to goal at 130 80--I thought George would go in this direction--and the proteinuria is still not under control--actually maximizing your ant iproteinuric therapy--even if it means lowering the blood pressure a little further, or even if it doesn't. Because often when you maximize ACEs or ARBs or combine them, you may not see further significant changes in blood pressure--you may see very significant reductions in proteinuria--and again retrospectively, that's been linked to reduced mortality rates and reduced progression rates. George L. Bakris: I'm actually ashamed that I didn't tell you that, because we published some of the first data. So you do want to achieve at least a greater than 30% reduction in proteinuria. By the way, I didn't say this either, and it's important for you to know that you can give all the ACEs and ARBs you want, and you can get the blood pressure down, but you will not substantially reduce proteinuria unless you restrict salt. So salt is critical. You need to tell patients that it's a four- letter word and they need to be consuming a maximum of 3 g day of sodium. Lawrence Blonde: Where do the new renin inhibitors fit in your algorithm of antihypertensive therapy, and are there studies yet in patients with CKD? George L. Bakris: It's too early to tell where they fit in. There is a trial just starting now, it's recruiting. It's an international trial that will look at this in people with diabetes--not necessarily advanced CKD, but in people with diabetes--to look at cardiovascular and renal outcomes. It remains to be seen. I think , right now, if you look at the profile of what is available, [a renin inhibitor] behaves like an angiotensin receptor blocker in terms of its overall side-effect profile. Its efficacy is similar to an ARB, however, its bioavailability is very low. If you're using furosemide Lasix ; with it, you need to double or triple the dose of furosemide. Also if you're using irbesartan, that affects the drugs--so its got a lot of drug interactions, and so I think one has to be cautious at this point where you go with it. It is being studied, it is approved for blood pressure lowering, but I'm certainly not going to put it first line right now. Lawrence Blonde: There is a question, and I'm not sure what was intended, about the relationship between insulin and anemia. I'm not sure what this refers to. First of all, one thing that's clear is that severe or significant anemia affects A1c in terms of following the A1c and interpreting the values we sometimes forget about. But I'm not quite sure what was intended here. Richard A. Lafayette: The question may reflect what is the reason that diabetics have more anemia than nondiabetics--and again this is seen both in type-1 insulin deficient and type-2 hyperinsulinemic patients. So I don't think it's an insulin issue, but again I'm going to defer to insulin experts, who are [certainly] present in the room. Lawrence Blonde: I did make--and I'm not an expert in interpreting--a sort of laundry list of potential reasons. So let us take one of the questions from the floor. Audience Question: My question relates to HbA1c and renal anemia and correction of anemia--you just touched on it. The first question is, "How does the use of erythropoietin affect HbA1c?" My understanding is that HbA1c is still very accurate--especially at levels 8%--in reflecting glycemic control in patients on dialysis. So I guess the question is, "How does EPO treatment in correction of anemia affect the HbA1c level? Has it been looked at in the studies that you went through, or any other studies?!

Turnbull, interview with the author, 1981; qtd in Parker, 214. ; This sociology professor and I both experienced a hangover from Victorian times: things relegated to the `feminine sphere' cannot easily be reconciled with professionalism. That is, even though femininity is no longer as associated with rigidly defined gender roles, embroidery is, and thus it is difficult to reconcile with `real work.' Id.

Brand names are approved by a regulatory authority such as the Food and Drug Administration in the US or the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products in the European Union. In recent years, during the naming process, authorities have assessed the potential for name confusion with other drugs, among other criteria. Also, drug manufacturers have begun to incorporate computerized screening methods and practitioner testing in their name development process. Still, new names that are similar to existing names continue to be approved and medication errors continue to occur. In addition, many problem drug name pairs that have surfaced in one country are similarly problematic elsewhere. For example, the drugs Losec omeprazole ; and Lasix furosemide ; are problematic worldwide. More research and is needed to develop the best methods for assuring that new brand and generic drug names cannot be confused. In addition, world regulatory authorities and the global pharmaceutical industry must place more emphasis on safety issues. The increasing potential for LASA medication errors was highlighted in the Joint Commission's Sentinel Event Alert 6 ; in the United States, and was incorporated into Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals 7 ; . Recommendations focus on ensuring prescription legibility through improved handwriting and printing, or the use of preprinted orders or electronic prescribing. Requiring medication orders and prescriptions that include both the brand and generic name, dosage form, strength, directions, and the indication for use, can be helpful in differentiating lookalike or soundalike medication names. Requiring readback * clarification of oral orders and improvements in communications with patients are other important ways to reduce error potential 8 ; . Other recommendations aimed at minimizing name confusion include conducting a periodic analysis of new products physically separating LASA medications and similar looking drug packages in all storage areas including both the generic and brand names on medication orders to provide redundancy using "tall man" mixed case ; lettering e.g. DOPamine versus DoBUTamine ; to emphasize drug name differences 8a ; and limiting the number of stocked medication strengths 9, 10 ; . Staff training and education on LASA medications and the significant risks for medication errors is also recommended because inadequate education of staff can be a contributing factor for not being able to manage this problem. By incorporating measures such as these, the risk for LASA medication errors can be greatly reduced. Recommendations: Shortterm solutions: 1. Identify and review at least annually, an evidencebased list of LASA medications used in each health care organization. 2. In addition to drug name confusion, consider similarity in packaging and labeling, and the potential for confusing different concentrations or strengths of the same drug. 3. Incorporate LASA considerations into the new product acquisition process, including attention to the possibility of counterfeit drugs. 4. When procuring drugs internationally, be aware that a single brand name may be associated with different drugs in different countries. 5. Store problem medications in separate locations or in nonalphabetical order, such as by bin number. 6. Emphasize drug name differences using methods such as "tall man" lettering. 7. Include both the generic and the brand name on medication orders and labels. 8. Note the purpose of the medication on the prescription order and, prior to administering the medication, check for an active diagnosis that matches the purpose indication. 9. Emphasize the need to carefully read the label each time a medication is accessed and again prior to administration, rather than relying on visual recognition, location, or other less specific cues. 10. Minimize the use of verbal and telephone orders. 11. Periodically educate all staff involved in medication use on potential LASA medications and packaging. 12. Implement strategies to avoid confusion or misinterpretation due to illegible medication orders e.g. require printing of drug names and dose designations. ; 13. Ensure all steps in the medication process are carried out by qualified and competent individuals and buy vasotec.
