Farmacovigilancia ocular (Coursera)

Farmacovigilancia ocular (Coursera)

En este curso, el participante identificará entre una reacción adversa al medicamento, un evento temporalmente asociado a vacunas y las consecuencias adversas de las tecnologías médicas. Se busca la mejora de la seguridad del paciente al disminuir el riesgo de pérdida de la visión o afecciones oculares secundarias a través de la valoración del caso y la aplicación de técnicas diagnósticas oculares.

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.

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.
