Although EPO deficiency is the primary cause of CKD anemia, iron deficiency is often present, and it is essential to assess and monitor the CKD patient s iron status (NKF-K/DOQI guidelines). Iron stores in patients with CKD should be maintained so that transferrin saturation (TSAT) is greater than 20% and serum ferritin is greater than 100 ng/mL (100 mcg/L or 225 pmol/L). If iron stores are not maintained appropriately, epoetin or darbepoetin will not be effective, and most CKD patients will require iron supplementation. Oral iron therapy can be used, but it is often ineffective, particularly in CKD patients on dialysis. Therefore, intravenous iron therapy is used extensively in these patients. Details of the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, interactions, dose, and administration of erythropoietin and iron products have been discussed previously. 

No other drugs were detected in the serum samples from any of these patients. Detailed analyses of the tablets obtained from the patients showed ecstasy and no contaminants. The authors commented on the unpredictable nature of toxicity with ecstasy, especially when death can occur with one tablet in some cases, while others survive even after they have consumed large quantities. In this series there was no correlation between the amount of ecstasy taken and the resulting serum MDMA concentration in most patients. However, high serum concentrations correlated with the severity of symptoms, including death. The local news headlines prominently implied that poisoned ecstasy had led to death when in fact there was no contamination. The authors suggested that such headlines lead people to believe erroneously that ecstasy use is safe except when it is contaminated.

Where practical, the primary label should allow sufficient space for the medical practitioner, dentist or hospital pharmacist to write or label patient details and dosage instructions. 

The pain caused by a peel is largely proportional to its depth. The type of pain, its intensity and its duration vary depending on the peel used, ft is recommended to give patients details about the pain they will feel, how intense it will be, how it will develop, and how long it will last, ft is essential to tell them about any change in technique, as patients may become anxious if the pain they feel is different to what has been described. 

Communication tasks - included confirming consent, patient details and operative site. 

Patient Care. First and foremost, gastroenterologists are concerned with patient care. Most gastrointestinal conditions are chronic, allowing gastroenterologists to develop long-term relationships with their patients. Detailed medical histories are often the key to diagnosis, so gastroenterologists must be compassionate and able to listen closely to the patient s complaints.

The file server (FS) is connected to a number of work-stations (WS), which are bilaterally interfaced to computers (AC) which in turn control large capacity (7000 tests/hr) analysers (A). Patient details including test request codes are transferred electronically from the work-stations to the analysers which perform the analyses required along with quality control checks before returning validated results back via the work-station and on to the file server hard disk (EHD). Further quality and validity checks are performed before test results are printed on hard copy for dispatch to clinical staff. The data is finally archived, A distinguishing feature of this system is the flexibility of retrieval and processing of stored data.
