Hospital pharmacies

Vertical laminar flow clean benches also are not BSCs. They may be useful, for example, in hospital pharmacies when a clean area is needed. Although these units generally have a sash, the air is usually discharged into the room under the sash, resulting in the same potential problems as the horizontal laminar flow clean benches. 

In countries with an existing (social) health insurance system, it is usually rather simple do receive a close-to-reality estimate of the provider Costs-of-Illness. The insurance pays the bills of general practitioners, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, etc. so that the total costs per patient can easily be determined. However, in some countries we cannot receive this data, and sometimes confidentiality regulations do not permit the transfer of insurance data, so that, for instance, provider costs of difference phases of HIV/AIDS can be calculated. In this case, a sample of patient files has to be analyzed with permission of the patients so that the provider costs can be recorded.

Only solutions of lipophilic antibiotics are able to cross the external barrier of the cornea (drops) and the internal blood-retina barrier (systemic administration) to yield sufficient concentrations in the internal eye (vitreous). Keratitis and ulceration of the cornea can be treated by frequent administration of highly concentrated (fortified) antibiotic drops. In endophtalmitis, emergency vitreous aspirate and in-travitreal and subconjunctival injection of antibiotic solutions with a long half-life is the cornerstone of treatment. These solutions should be prepared by the hospital pharmacy. Empiric topical treatment of minor external eye infections consists of antibiotic containing gels or ointments.
