From 2005-2008, drug counterfeiting had an average annual variation of 45%. Drug counterfeiting was shown to be most prevalent among national brands - as opposed to imported medications - although the types and formulations of the fake drugs attest to a certain level of sophistication employed in the forgery process. The counterfeiting of life-saving drugs, such as antimicrobials, signifies a serious public health threat.
Se aborda el instituto de la prisión provisional a partir de la injerencia que supone en la libertad personal de un individuo que se presume inocente, así como los límites que de acuerdo al derecho constitucional y a los instrumentos internacionales de derechos humanos, trazan los principios de presunción de inocencia y de proporcionalidad y la relación que se debe establecer entre éstos. Asimismo, se hace referencia a los requisitos materiales de la prisión preventiva:la existencia de una causal, el respeto al principio de proporcionalidad y la probabilidad de la responsabilidad del acusado, todo ello basado en un profundo estudio de la jurisprudencia de los organismos interamericanos
opinion of two neurology program directors who opposed these recommendations.The utilization of test scores based on standardized testing has never been correlated with success as a physician. There are more relevant criteria to judge success of programs than levels achieved on test scores, especially the use of USMLE as part of a screening process for potential neurologists. Clinical competence is not determined by the use of standardized testing.If we want to utilize tests of competence for programs and potential neurologists, let us use some measures of patient care needs, e.g., number of graduates working in underserved rural or inner-city hospitals and clinics, time spent providing teaching and providing care in underserved hospitals, and time spent in neurology education in medical community and public arena. In the article, there is an implication that problems of neurology training programs are in some way related to demands of indigent patient care; this is inaccurate. To improve the quality of neurologists trained, let us propose meaningful guidelines, not revert to outdated and useless markers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
