Andrea Bozovic,Anna Xu,Eshetu G Atenafu,Jack T Seki,Jin-Hyeun Huh,Rita Kwong,Roy Lee
- , 2017,

Abstract: The addition of the immunostimulant plerixafor to the current standard-of-care regimens of granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factor with or without chemotherapy has improved clinical results in terms of successful stem cell mobilization and the outcomes of stem cell transplant in various settings. With this medical innovation has come an added financial cost for institutions where stem cell transplants are routinely performed, and there may be a further financial burden when the contents of partial vials of the drug are wasted, given that plerixafor vials (Mozobil, Sanofi-Aventis Canada Inc) are currently deemed suitable only for single use

Empty stocks and loose paper: Governing access to medicines through informality in Northern India
Aalok Kumar,Marine Al Dahdah,Mathieu Quet
- , 2018, DOI: 10.1177/0268580918792779

Abstract: Based upon research in the state of Bihar, India, this article argues that informal access to medicines in Northern India is a core element of the government of healthcare. Informal providers such as unlicensed village doctors and unlicensed drug sellers play a major role in access to medicines in Bihar, in the particular context of the dismantling of public procurement services. Building on recent works in the socio-anthropology of pharmaceuticals, the article shows the importance of taking into account the political economy of drugs in India, in order to understand local problems of access more fully. If informal providers occupy such an important position in the government of healthcare in India, this is partly due to the shaping of healthcare as access to drugs on health markets. Elaborating the argument from interviews with health professionals and patients, the article first shows the situation of public healthcare and public procurement in Bihar; then it presents the role of informal medicine providers; lastly, it shows how patients deal with the fact that they live in a ‘pharmaceutical world’ where access to health equates with access to medicines

Amorce et maintien de l'usage de médicaments psychotropes chez l'a né vivant en maison de retraite
Philippe Voyer,Sylvie Lauzon,Johanne Collin
L'Infirmière Clinicienne , 2004,

Abstract: La prévalence de la consommation de médicaments psychotropes chez l'a né est très élevée. L'utilisation de ces médicaments a des conséquences significatives sur la santé et le bien-être de l'a né. Or, l'état des connaissances concernant ce phénomène demeure limité et entrave toutes initiatives infirmières en vue de prévenir l'usage à long terme et les conséquences potentiellement néfastes de ces molécules. Le but de l'étude est de décrire les facteurs liés à l'utilisation des médicaments psychotropes chez les a nés vivant en maison de retraite. Une recherche de type descriptive a été réalisée auprès de 48 a nés. Les propos des a nés consommateurs ont permis de faire émerger deux modèles explicatifs de l'utilisation des médicaments psychotropes. Leur discours met clairement en évidence que les motifs de l'utilisation des médicaments psychotropes varient en fonction de la durée d'utilisation. En effet, il appert que les raisons d'utilisation sont distinctes lors de l'amorce et du maintien à long terme de la consommation de médicaments psychotropes. Lesimplications cliniques des résultats pour la discipline infirmière sont discutées.
