Cardiovascular diseases are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Academic textbook: Selected Chapters from Angiology is devoted to the most common vascular diseases that the angiologist encounters on a daily basis.

Dilated artery diseases (abdominal aortic aneurysm), as well as stenotizing diseases of peripheral arteries, are described. Diseases such as deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis and chronic venous insufficiency are discussed in the venous vascular system section. I also deal with the most common lymphatic vascular system disease ˗ lymphoedema.

In the individual chapters the risk factors of the diseases, symptoms and signs, diagnostics, treatment modalities (pharmacological therapy, endovascular therapy, angiosurgical therapy) and possible complications of the therapy are briefly analyzed.

My priority was to present the information in a logical, interesting and comprehensible form for students and for common clinical practice.

The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is one of the most commonly used experimental animals. It serves as a model organism for analyzing numerous biological processes and pathological mechanisms, such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders (e.g., lipid metabolism, diabetes mellitus), neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, or Alzheimer's disease), neurobehavioral research, autoimmune diseases (e.g., arthritis), cancer, and renal diseases. It offers many unique advantages for modeling human diseases, testing drugs and natural substances, and studying responses to environmental factors. The size of the laboratory rat, compared to the mouse, creates ideal conditions for physiological manipulations. Additionally, rats are used in clinical toxicology to test chemical substances (Hedrich, 2000).

This year, the Student Scientific Conference was held on April 24, 2019, across 17 sections in disciplines such as biology and ecology, chemistry, physics, geography, mathematics, informatics, and their didactics. Bachelor’s and master’s students presented a total of 124 contributions. The most successful participants advanced to national or traditional Czech-Slovak student scientific showcases in fields like physics, chemistry, mathematics, informatics, and mathematics didactics.

In addition to faculty students, 10 high school students participated outside the competition. They were invited based on their achievements in subject-specific Olympiads or because they were already engaged with the faculty under the guidance of dedicated teachers in laboratory work as part of their preparation for future studies. The day also featured a programming competition with 23 participants, an IHRA contest involving 16 teams of high school students and 15 teams from elementary schools, and a new Puzzle section where 72 high school students from the region competed.

The abstracts from the Student Scientific Conference demonstrate that our faculty's students not only absorb theoretical knowledge delivered in lectures but also actively engage in solving partial scientific problems that align with research objectives at the institutes of PF UPJŠ. This collection serves as both a record of scientific activity at the faculty and a dignified presentation for the broader public.

It is known that pharmacology is a rapidly evolving medical field, with information about drug forms and their routes of administration constantly changing. In addition to the emergence of new drug forms, new trends are also observed in the routes of administration suitable for delivering drugs. Despite being significant factors influencing the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy – an indispensable component of comprehensive patient care – to our knowledge, there has been a lack of comprehensive and detailed textual material focused on this issue on the market. This fact is related to the broader scope of the professional text we are presenting, as rare drug forms or less commonly used routes of administration are only marginally mentioned or not mentioned at all in available pharmacology textbooks.

Our main goal was therefore to provide sufficient information about existing drug forms, their routes of administration, as well as their methods of delivery, which should serve to enhance the quality of pharmacotherapy in the context of so-called "tailored treatment," whose main effort is to individualize treatment for a specific patient. Although the work focuses on drug application methods, a detailed description of the technical implementation of algorithms and other related procedures is the subject of interest for other fields (nursing, surgical propaedeutics, etc.). Overall, it is a supplementary educational text provided in electronic form, which is extremely popular in today's modern informatized era. Thanks to this, the work can be used at any time at home or in a school environment, comprehensively or progressively, partially. We have also tried to enhance its quality by appropriate content organization, inclusion of practical experiences, as well as the inclusion of colorful images or photographs, overview tables, and appendices.

The textbook is supplemented by test quizzes serving to verify acquired selected knowledge, which are published on the website of the Department of Pharmacology at the Medical Faculty of UPJŠ in Košice (under "Teaching" → "Taught subjects"), and which will be continuously supplemented and updated (http://www.lf.upjs.sk/farmakologia/TEST%201.htm; http://www.lf.upjs.sk/farmakologia/TEST%202.htm).

Although the work is primarily intended for medical students, or students of pharmacy and other healthcare fields, we firmly believe that enriching information will be found in it by beginning graduates of these fields, as well as their teachers.

Intervention Program for Supporting Self-Care in Helping Professions: "How Do I Take Care of Myself?" The intervention program "How Do I Take Care of Myself?" was developed as part of the research project APVV14-0921, "Self-Care as a Factor in Coping with the Negative Consequences of Engaging in Helping Professions." Its uniqueness lies in being created based on specific research outputs from the program's authors and project.

In the first chapter, the authors offer insights into the preparation of the intervention program, justifying its theoretical foundations, methods, and specifics of the program participants. They also provide an overview of research on the effectiveness of various intervention programs aimed at reducing the negative consequences of helping and enhancing self-care and other positive effects of engaging in helping professions. Subsequent chapters focus on a detailed analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention program "How Do I Take Care of Myself?" and its comparison with the effectiveness of other programs, which were differently focused, targeted at different populations of helping professionals, and had different theoretical and practical orientations and foundations. Most of these studies demonstrated positive changes only in isolated cases, due to various methodological shortcomings often related to practical application.

What differentiates the intervention program presented in this monograph is the participation of helping professionals actively practicing in the social field, unlike most intervention programs compiled and validated for students of these professions. The student population, being more accessible to researchers, allows for better methodology, including a larger number of participants, as well as experimental manipulation and group balancing. In the case of participants in the validation of the program "How Do I Take Care of Myself?", it involved practitioners who are engaged in the daily work process and completed training during their work breaks, which placed high demands on balancing their work and personal tasks. We believe that the effects we discovered during the validation of the effectiveness of the presented intervention program were not always clearly mathematically graspable but were evident from individual feedback.

We present the text of this monograph to the professional public with the aim of highlighting the benefits, limitations of the intervention program, as well as inspiring researchers and practitioners to further work in this area.

Vedecko-technický pokrok s presahom do zdravotníctva a implementácia čoraz zložitejších technických postupov do preventívnych stratégií, diagnostických a liečebných postupov a ošetrovateľských intervencií otvárajú nové otázky zabezpečenia kvality a bezpečnosti pacientov. Záujmom jednotlivých poskytovateľov zdravotníckych služieb z dôvodov naplnenia prijatých štandardov a poskytovania starostlivosti založenej na dôkazoch je finančná efektívnosť a udržanie prestíže zdravotníckeho zariadenia. Manažéri v zdravotníctve i sami zamestnanci sa usilujú o formovanie kultúry kvality a bezpečnosti.
Jej obsahová dimenzia je multifaktorová, determinovaná medzinárodnými normami, národnými právnymi úpravami, manažmentom zdravotníckych zariadení, osobnou disciplinovanosťou a zodpovednosťou každého zdravotníckeho pracovníka. Úrad pre dohľad nad zdravotnou starostlivosťou predstavuje kontrolný orgán. Kvalita zdravotnej vrátane ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti a bezpečnosť pacientov utvára etablovanú morálnu hodnotu pracovníkov v zdravotníctve a súbor funkčne nastavených vnútorných procesov zdravotníckeho zariadenia.
Jej základným atribútom je poskytovanie zdravotnej starostlivosti, ošetrovateľskú starostlivosť nevynímajúc, na vysokej odbornej úrovni a uplatnení dôkazov vedeckovýskumnej činnosti v praxi. Poskytovanie kvalitnej a bezpečnej zdravotnej starostlivosti je zároveň základnou a prirodzene očakávanou požiadavkou prijímateľov zdravotníckych služieb – pacientov.
Sestry sú významným subjektom v rámci zabezpečenia kvality a kultúry bezpečnosti pacientov v každom zdravotníckom zariadení v rozsahu stanovených štandardov a požiadaviek. Existuje viacero potvrdených determinujúcich faktorov, ktoré zvyšujú podiel participácie sestier na procese zabezpečenia bezpečnosti pacientov v rámci poskytovania zdravotníckych služieb.
Majú najpočetnejšie zastúpenie medzi jednotlivými zdravotníckymi pracovníkmi a z hľadiska časovej analýzy majú najdlhší bezprostredný kontakt s pacientom počas pracovného času. Intervencie v rozsahu ich kompetencií predstavujú súbor rôznorodých činností vyžadujúcich širokú erudíciu, precízne zručnosti a uplatnenie kritického myslenia. Rovnaké požiadavky sú kladené na všetkých členov multidisciplinárneho tímu poskytovateľov zdravotnej starostlivosti, či už ide o pôrodnú asistentku, fyzioterapeuta, zdravotníckeho záchranára, rádiologického technika, nutričného terapeuta, dentálnu hygieničku alebo lekára či zubného lekára a i. Výkon každého zdravotníckeho povolania umožňuje špecifikovať determinanty spoločné i jedinečné pre naplnenie kultúry kvality a bezpečnosti pacienta.
Kvalita zdravotnej starostlivosti a bezpečnosť pacientov si vyžadujú integrovaný prístup všetkých zainteresovaných strán. Ich naplnenie sa začína procesom vzdelávania počas pregraduálnej prípravy na výkon zdravotníckeho povolania. Proces stotožnenia sa a prijatia morálnych noriem je výzvou adaptačnej fázy. Realita každodenných intervencií v pracovnom procese si vyžaduje angažovanosť a osobnú zodpovednosť v predchádzaní pochybení a nežiaducich udalostí. Dôsledné monitorovanie kvality a bezpečnosti je napĺňané procesmi nastavenia medzinárodných a národných noriem výkonu zdravotníckej praxe, manažmentom včasného hlásenia rizika pochybenia, chýb a nežiaducich udalostí, objektívnym preskúmaním pochybení a efektívnym manažmentom riešenia zistených rizík a udalostí. Význam problematiky bezpečnosti pacientov podčiarkuje i skutočnosť, že riziko či naplnenie pochybenia vytvárajú silný predpoklad negatívneho dosahu na kvalitu poskytovanej zdravotnej starostlivosti, zhoršenie zdravotného stavu pacienta, ba až jeho poškodenie s následkom smrti.
Kvalita a bezpečnosť zdravotnej starostlivosti je permanentné úsilie manažérov a zdravotníkov, napĺňané prevzatím osobnej zodpovednosti, ich erudíciou a manažérskymi zručnosťami.
Táto vysokoškolská učebnica je určená študentom zdravotníckych študijných programov v pregraduálnom a doktorandskom štúdiu, v ďalšom a sústavnom vzdelávaní, sestrám a ďalším zdravotníckym pracovníkom v praxi, pedagógom i výskumníkom.

For computer scientists, the constant challenge is to seek efficient algorithms and various technical and implementation possibilities to improve the computational complexity of currently known algorithms. Partial solutions are offered by approaches such as grid-based methods and parallelization of computation. Quantum computers represent a significant but still unfulfilled promise. From a theoretical perspective, probabilistic and approximation approaches provide very effective solutions, and these are the methods we aim to explore in detail.

These electronic university textbooks serve as supplementary materials for the course Approximation and Probabilistic Algorithms. They were developed from the authors' materials and contributions by Prof. RNDr. Viliam Geffert, DrSc., whom the authors thank for providing the manuscript. Acknowledgments also extend to RNDr. Ján Katrenič, PhD., who prepared the first set of exercises for the course, and Žaneta Semanišinová, who reviewed large portions of the text and contributed suggestions for its improvement.

The current situation in the world education system, which declares the need to educate students for knowledge society, for improving the graduate employability is behind the motivation of authors to address competencies and key competencies for the knowledge society.

The authors present theoretical and empirical investigations based on the application of scientific methods of competency assessment and the use of contemporary scientific paradigms. The starting point is the concept of competencies in the context of current approaches of scientific psychology, which resonates in the official documents of the European Union and has been elaborated and enriched by the authors. The monograph focuses on a selected set of competencies, namely: competence to act as a self-regulated person, self-development, decision-making competencies, social and metacognitive competencies in the context of motivation. Knowledge about nature, the structure of competencies are presented, as well as their relations with personal and environmental variables.

The effort of the authors is also aimed at making available knowledge about the possibilities of assessing these competencies using current methods. Authors communicate the results of the creation and verification of competency assessment methods. The implementation of the research results presented in the monograph is perspective in the education and counseling of the target group of university students.

In 2018, the Student Scientific Conference was held on April 18, 2018, in 16 sections covering biology and ecology, chemistry, physics, geography, mathematics, computer science, and their subject didactics. There were 110 registered contributions from bachelor's and master's students. Additionally, eight high school students participated outside of the competition; these students already visit our alma mater at a young age, work in our laboratories, and prepare for further studies under the guidance of our enthusiastic teachers. The day also included a programming competition and the IHRA competition in three categories, where students from PF UPJŠ competed alongside pupils from elementary and secondary schools.

The abstracts of the Student Scientific Conference contributions convincingly demonstrate that PF UPJŠ students study their field not only theoretically but also actively engage in solving partial scientific problems that are part of the research goals at PF UPJŠ institutes. This collection provides an overview of scientific activity at the faculty, which we believe will be interesting for the broader public as well.

Nutrition is among the fundamental needs of humans. A good nutritional status directly impacts an individual’s growth and development, health maintenance, and quality of life. This university textbook addresses nutrition in the context of dietetics and therapeutic nutrition, offering an overview of basic food components such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

It provides detailed insights into nutritional requirements across different developmental stages. In assessing nutritional status, it explores evaluation methods, including nutritional screening, anthropometric measurements, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests.

The text clarifies the structure of nutritional care systems for patients in home settings, healthcare facilities, and social institutions through a unified dietary system that defines basic and specialized diets. Alternative nutrition methods are discussed separately, with enteral and parenteral nutrition serving as alternatives during unfavorable health conditions.

The authors focus on application techniques and complications associated with these methods. The book concludes with food safety considerations and foundational principles of the European Union’s food policy. Currently, dietetics and therapeutic nutrition form a critical component of professional training for healthcare students in both undergraduate and postgraduate education, for whom this textbook is designed.

The proposed text focuses on the history of studying biology, medicine, and pharmacy as scientific disciplines from prehistoric times through antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. The text chronologically organizes the most significant figures in the history of biological scientific disciplines, outlines key characteristics of major historical discoveries, and reevaluates their significance from the perspective of 21st-century science.

The educational text is chronologically divided into the most significant periods of civilization development. The last two completed centuries—the 19th and 20th—are subdivided into major life science fields due to the unprecedented growth of biological disciplines and the resulting volume of acquired information.

Since it can sometimes be challenging in science to define what constitutes the past versus the present of a particular discipline, we have excluded significant biological discoveries from the early 21st century, which are typically regarded as the “present” of biology.

Vnútorné lekárstvo je medicínsky odbor, ktorý využíva poznatky z predklinických disciplín – fyziológie, patológie, biochémie, farmakológie – v diagnostike, liečbe a v prevencii jednotlivých ochorení. Ako integrujúci odbor v rámci klinickej medicíny má dominantné postavenie v príprave a v praktickom výkone aj nelekárskych zdravotníckych vied (v urgentnej zdravotnej starostlivosti, rádiologickej technike, ošetrovateľstve, vo fyzioterapii, v pôrodnej asistencii a v iných). Vo vnútornom lekárstve sa postupne formovali jednotlivé pododbory: kardiológia, angiológia, pneumológia, gastroenterológia, nefrológia, hematológia, endokrinológia, reumatológia, imunológia, diabetológia, infektológia, onkológia. Ich postupnou štrukturalizáciou vznikli špecializované pracoviská, a to jednotky intenzívnej starostlivosti zamerané na metabolické stavy, cievne príhody, kritické stavy v hematológii, v onkológii a koronárne jednotky. Zo všeobecných vnútorných oddelení sa vyčlenili napríklad geriatrické oddelenia. Publikácia „Klinická propedeutika, vnútorné lekárstvo a špecifiká ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti vo vnútornom lekárstve“ je určená pre študentov nelekárskych zdravotníckych vied. Záujem o túto publikáciu bol veľký, preto sme pripravili 2., doplnené vydanie. Potvrdilo sa, že konečný efekt poskytovanej zdravotnej starostlivosti vždy vychádza z tímovej spolupráce, čo potvrdzuje aj záujem o túto publikáciu. Základné poznatky z odboru vnútorné lekárstvo rozšírené o kapitoly podávajúce prehľad špecifík ošetrovateľskej starostlivosti pri chorobách kardiovaskulárneho, dýchacieho či endokrinného systému, pri chorobách obličiek, gastrointerstinálneho, hematologického a pohybového systému sú veľmi dôležitou súčasťou liečebnej starostlivosti. Edukácia pacienta so zameraním na liečbu, elimináciu bolesti, prevenciu komplikácií, selfmonitoring, výživu, pohybovú aktivitu a rehabilitáciu, úroveň sebestatočnosti a iné činnosti, vhodne dopĺňa komplexný prístup k pacientovi. Cieľom tejto učebnice je oboznámiť študujúcich s aktuálnymi, modernými postupmi pri jednotlivých chorobách, aby pochopili ich význam. Rozsah problematiky samozrejme nedovoľuje poskytnúť vyčerpávajúce poznatky, preto odporúčame dopĺňať si informácie z ďalšej odbornej literatúry. Nové diagnostické a liečebné postupy prinášajú okrem benefitov aj rôzne riziká. Preto treba pacienta o diagnostickom a liečebnom výkone informovať a vyžiadať si jeho písomný informovaný súhlas na uskutočnenie vyšetrovacej metódy a liečby. Výsledkom liečebného postupu má byť zabezpečenie dobrej alebo primeranej kvality života pacienta. Patrí sem nielen pocit fyzického zdravia, ale v globálnom pohľade aj psychická kondícia, spoločenské uplatnenie, rodinné vzťahy a pod., teda holistický pohľad na pacienta. Nemožno zabúdať ani na význam psychoterapie. Tomu napomáha vzájomná súčinnosť medicínskych a ošetrovateľských činností. Autori veria, že aktualizovaná publikácia pomôže študentom ošetrovateľstva získať potrebné vedomosti a že sa k nej budú opätovne radi vracať po radu a aktuálne platné odborné informácie.

Vladimír Sedlák

In the presented university textbooks, so-called satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS, from the English Satellite Based Augmentation Systems, in Slovak Systémy rozširujúce základné satelitné systémy) are also discussed. These systems enhance, expand, or refine the basic satellite navigation systems. They are supportive satellite systems for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems). Currently, the long-operational American GPS and Russian GLONASS systems, as well as the partially operational European Galileo system (since December 2016), have and will continue to have broad applications in various fields of human activity, both professional and personal.

The university textbook Globálne navigačné satelitné systémy (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) reflects the current progressive development in the technological and instrumental principles and components of such satellite navigation systems. It presents the state of these satellite technologies from their historical origins and development to the present. The rapid advancements, particularly in the instrumental base of satellite navigation systems, will require updates on their current state in future editions of these university textbooks.

The proposed university textbook provides knowledge in the field of nursing in internal medicine. It is intended primarily for students of the nursing program, but also for nurses working in this specialization. The textbook builds on the previous two parts: Nursing Process in Internal Medicine I (Sováriová Soósová, 2006) and Nursing Process in Internal Medicine II (Suchanová, 2007). It is divided into four chapters, focusing on disorders of water and electrolyte balance and acid-base equilibrium, kidney and urinary tract diseases, endocrine system diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Each chapter is similarly structured, beginning with diagnostic methods commonly used in the respective area. Subsequent subchapters address nursing care for selected diseases of specific bodily systems. Each subchapter consists of a clinical introduction (characteristics of the disease, its etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment) and nursing care for the given disease. This includes assessment, formulation of nursing diagnoses, and planning nursing care (setting goals, outcome criteria, and planning possible interventions).

The textbook serves as a model framework and algorithm for managing nursing care using the nursing process method.

The scientific monograph focuses on the characteristics of free radicals, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, oxidative stress, and its impact on various diseases. A significant portion is dedicated to antioxidants, their classification based on multiple criteria, the characteristics of selected antioxidants in terms of their functions, manifestations of their deficiency and excess, and the overall antioxidant capacity of the body.

A special section is devoted to enzyme-based antioxidants, natural sources of antioxidants in the form of vitamins, trace elements, flavonoids, polyphenols, and coenzyme Q10. To provide a clearer understanding of antioxidants and their influence on population health, the monograph presents results from a research project included in the program "Research Support for Enhancing the Defense Capabilities of the Czech Republic in NATO Structures."

The research was conducted between 2010 and 2012 as part of preventive rehabilitation programs for professional soldiers with a sports component. The study involved 218 professional soldiers, including 180 men and 38 women, with an average age of 33.3 years. The current health status and dietary habits of the soldiers were assessed using questionnaires.

The study described the saturation of the observed group with antioxidant vitamins and statistically evaluated the relationship between their levels and the risk indicators for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Individual analyses were performed using the Reflotron device calibrated with Reflotron Precinorm control serum. Following blood collection, all participants underwent anthropometric examinations (body weight, height, waist circumference), blood pressure measurements, heart rate monitoring, and physical fitness assessments through simple functional tests.

This scientific monograph is suitable for the scientific community, students of medical, veterinary, and natural sciences, as well as public health students at all levels of university education. It is also intended for informed members of the public.

Publikace představuje osobnosti v oboru ošetřovatelství, které z historického kontextu přispěly k implementaci změn do ošetřovatelské praxe na Slovensku. Důležitým aspektem výběru osobností zařazených do publikace byla jejich odborná profilace od pregraduálního vzdělávání až po nabytí akademického titulu v oboru.

Celospolečenskými změnami, kterými Slovenská republika od roku 1989 prošla, dochází ke změně pohledu na ošetřovatelství, hlavně s důrazem na ošetřovatelství jako vědní disciplínu, s prostorem pro autonomní výkon ošetřovatelské praxe.

Hlavný rizikový faktor v etiopatogenéze aterosklerózy a jej komplikácií je dyslipoproteinémia. Zmenený metabolizmus lipoproteínov aktivuje obranný systém organizmu, zasahuje do koagulácie a provokuje endoteliálne bunky cievnej steny k zmenenej metabolickej aktivite. Liečba dyslipoproteinémií je jedným zo základných kameňov v primárnej a sekundárnej prevencii koronárnych chorôb, cerebrovaskulárnych chorôb a ochorení periférnych ciev. Statíny ovplyvňujúce dyslipoproteinémie sú treťou najúspešnejšou skupinou liekov po objavení penicilínu a kyseliny acetylosalicylovej (aspirínu)v dejinách farmakoterapie. Ateroskleróza, ktorá postihuje artérie je, multifaktoriálne ochorenie determinované rizikovými faktormi, ktoré v industrializovaných krajinách spúšťajú lavínu šírenia aterosklerotických komplikácií. Preto úprava lipoproteínového spektra je základom prevencie rozvoja aterosklerózy a jej komplikácií.

Táto monografia má byť východiskom zo spleti informácií, ktoré sa dostávajú k lekárovi z elektronických informačných systémov. Má priviesť čitateľa k praktickej aplikácii nových poznatkov z patogenézy, diagnostiky a liečby dyslipoproteinémií, ktoré zohrávajú kľúčovú úlohu v procese rozvoja aterosklerózy, resp. jej regresie.

Kniha je určená širokému spektru lekárov, ale predovšetkým kardiológom, diabetológom, klinickým biochemikom a všeobecným lekárom.

Elektrokardiogram (EKG) je ideálnym nástrojom každodennej klinickej praxe. Objaviteľom elektrokardiografu je holandský vedec z mesta Leiden Willem Einthoven, ktorý za objav dostal v roku 1924 Nobelovu cena za fyziológiu a medicínu.
Aj keď je tradične interpretácia EKG nálezu doménou kardiológov, hodnotenie EKG by mal zvládnuť každý lekár v klinickej praxi. Preto je esenciálnou záležitosťou každého lekára, ako aj študenta medicíny oboznámiť sa s ľahko dostupnou vyšetrovacia metódou, ktorá nám dokáže poskytnúť veľa cenných informácií.
Táto učebnica bola vytvorená nielen pre akademickú obec. Bola napísaná predovšetkým pre lekárov, ktorí sa pri narastajúcom spoločenskom tlaku snažia prehlbovať svoje vedomosti a poskytovať čo najlepšiu starostlivosť o pacienta.

Farmaceuti, lekárnici, odborníci za tarou sú prioritne považovaní za špecialistov v oblasti terapeutického užívania liečiv. Dopĺňajú multidisciplinárny tým s cieľom optimalizácie farmakoterapie pacienta, vrátane edukácie a zvyšovania adherencie k stanovenej liečbe. Ďalšou z ich úloh je sledovať dodržiavanie liečebných režimov za súčasného zlepšovania kvality života pacienta.

Nakoľko je v rámci poradenskej a konzultačnej činnosti lekáreň často miestom prvého kontaktu medzi pacientom a zdravotníckym pracovníkom poskytujú lekárnici, farmaceuti (okrem iného) aj služby zahŕňajúce manažment voľno predajných liekov. V tomto kontexte je preto nevyhnutné, aby vedeli správne interpretovať a uplatňovať vedomosti o farmakodynamike resp. farmakokinetike liečiv a boli schopní aj otvorenej komunikácie s lekármi pri identifikácii vzniknutých zdravotných problémov. V tom im pomôže táto publikácia vytvorená odborníkmi z oblasti farmácie, ktorá interaktívnym spôsobom prevedie používateľa teoretickým obsahom vírusových infekcií horných dýchacích ciest, podporou imunity, manažmentom gastrointestinálnych ťažkostí a konceptom personalizovanej medicíny.

Formou praktických cvičení, modelových prípadov a iných zaujímavých úloh sa čitateľ zamyslí nad zaujímavými a zdanlivo bežnými skutočnosťami.
