La farmacovigilancia ocular es una actividad que puede realizar cualquier profesional de la salud, en el entendido de que busca la efectividad del fármaco y el seguimiento de problemas comunes poco identificados en la población, los cuales dependen de las potenciales interacciones medicamentosas (fármaco-fármaco, fármaco-alimento, fármaco-planta medicinal).

Al término del curso:
• Promoverás la actividad de identificación y notificación de reacciones adversas a medicamentos (RAM), eventos temporalmente asociados a vacunas (ESAVI), y consecuencias del uso de dispositivos médicos (tecnovigilancia).

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Morfofisiología ocular
En este módulo, conocerás las características básicas que identifican al tejido ocular como un órgano inmunológicamente privilegiado. Éstas se relacionan con la presencia de un efecto farmacológico y su posible respuesta ante la presencia de fármacos.

WEEK 2
Farmacocinética ocular
En este módulo, conocerás lo que es la farmacología y los cuatro procesos que componen a la farmacocinética ocular (absorción, distribución, biotransformaciòn y eliminación. También revisarás cómo afectan estos elementos a la visión de los pacientes.

WEEK 3
Farmacovigilancia ocular
En este módulo, conocerás aspectos generales y específicos de farmacovigilancia. También revisarás los programas para identificar y valorar los eventos o incidentes adversos producidos por medicamentos (RAM), vacunación o inmunización (ESAVI) o dispositivos médicos (TV), así como la definición y clasificación de cada uno, para la implementación de la notificación espontánea.

WEEK 4
Seguimiento y recomendaciones terapéuticas
En este módulo, aprenderás a evaluar la visión de los pacientes sospechosos de presentar un evento adverso con la finalidad de darle seguimiento a una condición relacionada con la farmacovigilancia.

Unravelling solutions for Future Food problems (Coursera)

Our society depends on the availability of food and accessibility to it. According to the United Nations nearly 800 million people are hungry and on the other hand, over 650 million people are obese. While many people in developing countries experience food shortage, in industrialized countries people are throwing food away. These facts show how paradoxical and complex the world’s food problem is.

The exposome: cracking the science about what makes us sick (Coursera)

What are the causes of disease? We know that most diseases result from a combination of genes and environment (nature and nurture). Our genes alone do not determine our fate. For most complex diseases, externalities - environmental factors in the broad sense - are more important. This includes our living and working environments, diet, social support and stress, pollution, and exposure to infectious agents. Exposome research is about discovering the non-genetic drivers of health and disease.

Lead Discovery & Optimization for Efficacy, PK, & Safety (edX)

Understanding the efficacy, potency, pharmacokinetics, and safety of compounds is important, but compounds almost always require improvement in their properties in order to become drugs. The process of improvement is called lead optimization and requires a thorough understanding of how a molecule’s structure affects its function, whether efficacy, PK, or toxicity. Unraveling a compound’s structure-function relationship enables lead optimization and hopefully results in the discovery of a compound that can be advanced into clinical trials.

Public Mental Health is the application of the principles of medicine and social science to prevent the occurrence of mental and behavioral disorders and to promote mental health of the population. This course illustrates the principles of public health applied to depressive disorder, including principles of epidemiology, transcultural psychiatry, health services research, and prevention. It is predicted that by 2020 depressive disorder will be the most important cause of disease burden in the entire world! Every human being suffers from feeling depressed at some point or other, but only about one fifth of the population will experience an episode of depressive disorder over the course of their lives.

Opioid Epidemic: From Evidence to Impact (Coursera)

While prescription opioids serve an invaluable role for the treatment of cancer pain and pain at the end of life, their overuse for acute and chronic non-cancer pain as well as the increasing availability of heroin and illicit fentanyl, have contributed to the highest rates of overdose and opioid addiction in U.S. history. Evidence-informed solutions are urgently needed to address these issues and to promote high-quality care for those with pain. This course and the report it is based on are a response to that need. They offer timely information and a path forward for all who are committed to addressing injuries and deaths associated with opioids in the United States.
