    © 2022 Marmara University Press.The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist-led hypertension screening program (including referring high-risk individuals who are not aware of being hypertensive or prehypertensive to the physician) at a community pharmacy in Türkiye. This prospective observational pilot study was conducted in a community pharmacy located in Mersin-Türkiye between October 2017 and April 2018. Blood pressure measurements were performed by the clinical pharmacist at baseline and follow-up. The rate of participants who had high blood pressure measurements (≥140 mmHg for systolic and/or ≥90 mmHg for diastolic) was determined at the baseline by clinical pharmacist. According to the guidelines, participants with high blood pressure were referred directly to the physician by the clinical pharmacist. In the follow-up, the number of patients diagnosed with prehypertension or hypertension and the changes in their measurement of blood pressure were identified between baseline and follow-up. According to findings of clinical pharmacist-led blood pressure measurement, 23 (37.1%) out of 62 participants with high blood pressure were referred to the physician by the clinical pharmacist. In the follow-up, it was determined that 12 patients (52.2%) out of 23 participants were diagnosed with hypertension by a physician and eight patients (34.8%) out of 23 participants had prehypertensive. According to the findings of this pilot study, it was determined a positive impact of the clinical pharmacist-led hypertension screening program for high-risk individuals for hypertension.

    © 2022 Marmara University Press.The aim of this study is to perform therapeutic drug monitoring for isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RIF), and pyrazinamide (PZA) in pediatric tuberculosis patients. The study was carried out in 3 different training-research hospitals in Istanbul, Türkiye between 2011 and 2012. The pediatric patients (aged ≤14 years) who initiated the standard primary anti-tuberculosis therapy were included in this study. The serum samples were collected 3 hours after the first medication doses were given on the 5th day of treatment. Chromatographic experiments were performed on an Agilent 1100 High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system, and the separation was carried out on a Nova-Pak C18 (3.9x150 mm, 5 μm, Merck) analytical column. In this HPLC method, the gradient elusion delivered 3% to 40% (v/v) acetonitrile in phosphate buffer was used, and diode array detector. Twenty-three children (60.9% male) patients were included with a mean age of 111.70 ± 59.94 months. Plasma levels were measured sub-therapeutically for INH in 14, RIF in 10, and PZA in 5 patients, according to the normal range of adult patients. Maximum plasma concentrations after three hours were found between 0.53-14.02 mg/L for INH, 11.17-60.39 mg/L for PZA, 2.15-16.75 mg/L for RIF. In conclusion, this method has been successfully applied to simultaneously determine RIF, INH, and PZA plasma levels in pediatric tuberculosis patients. RIF and INH plasma levels were found to be lower in pediatric patients with tuberculosis compared to target range of adult patients.
