ObamaCare changes have different influence on diverse healthcare business. Pharmaceutical industry seems to gain on this reform unlike the insurance business. In this article we briefly present the main positive and negative effects of health reform in the US. Then, we point to the impact of ObamaCare on profits, costs and activities of pharmaceutical companies. We discuss changes such as: increase in sales of prescription drugs; new rules of registration of generic drugs; novel tax on sales of original drugs; incentives for pharma to put more attention to specific fields in R&D; bigger transparency in relations between physicians and pharma industry.

The article presents the results of research, whose aim was to answer the question of how changing consumer trends affect the implementation of the requirements of the Waste Act and the Act on packaging and packaging waste. The new EU directive enacted in July 2014 tightens the requirements towards waste management in the EU, and this is especially evident in the increased levels of recovery and recycling of packaging waste. Surveys performed among students showed a high correlation between ignorance in the recovery and recycling of packaging waste and increasing level of efficiency in waste management. Surveys conducted among students and analysis of literature data show the relationship between environmental awareness of respondents and the level of effectiveness in the management of packaging waste

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań, których celem było uzyskanie odpowiedzi na pytanie w jaki sposób zmieniające się trendy konsumpcyjne wpływają na realizację wymagań ustawy o odpadach i ustawy o gospodarce opakowaniami i odpadami opakowaniowymi. Nowa dyrektywa UE uchwalona w lipcu 2014 roku zaostrza wymagania wobec prowadzonej gospodarki odpadami w krajach UE, a szczególnie jest to widoczne w zwiększonych poziomach odzysku i recyklingu odpadów opakowaniowych. Badania ankietowe przeprowadzone wśród studentów oraz analiza danych literaturowych wykazują zależność pomiędzy świadomością ekologiczną ankietowanych a poziomem efektywności w gospodarowaniu odpadami opakowaniowymi

Recipes for the medications comprised in the “Secrets of Isabella Cortese” (Venice, 1561) is a set of recipes for medications, cosmetics, „alchemic” formulas (e.g. etching the silver with nitric acid), as well as all sorts of tips related to various arts and crafts (i.e. how to make a green ink, how to have the page edges gold-plated in the books, how to dye animal hides, etc.). Books of this type actually attested to one of the 16th c. publishing fads, especially in Italy, where the consummate skills of Venetian publishers simply outclassed those of their peers from other cities across the country. Nothing much is known about Isabella Cortese as a person, though. Considering that the word SECRETO just happens to be an anagram of the word CORTESE, it is quite likely that Isabella Cortese is simply a nickname. It might well be that someone from Venetian high society did not really want his aristocratic name to be in any way associated with this essentially democratic piece of work. The medications described in the “Secrets” comprise, inter alia, a scorpion oil against the plague, St. John’s wort as the treatment for the same disease, a glue to promote faster healing of the wounds, an omelette laced with a turnip juice for an ailing spleen, pills for the French disease (syphilis), etc. Most of those medications originate in the homemade variety, while others are more “learned”, i.e. the ones that were supposed to be bought in a pharmacy (e.g. Unguentum apostulorum), and the so-called empirical drugs. The properties of medicinal components (ingredients) which are specifi cally referred to in the “Secrets of Isabella Cortese”, had been characterized in the Herbarium by Marcin Siennik (Krakow 1568), because the nature of all medical matter addressed there is identical with the one in the 16th c. “Secrets”

Przedmiotem niniejszego opracowania jest przedstawienie obecnie obowiązującego stanu prawnego w Polsce dotyczącego rozszerzenia uprawnień pielęgniarek i położnych o możliwość wypisywania recept. Zgodnie z nowymi przepisami pielęgniarki i położne będą mogły wystawiać recepty od 1 stycznia 2016 roku na podstawie uchwalonego projektu ustawy, wniesionego przez rząd.

Funkcjonowanie systemu wypisywania recept przez pielęgniarki zostało om ówione na przykładzie 10 państw: Irlandii, Wielkiej Brytanii, Holandii, Szwecji, Stan ów Zjednoczonych, Botswany, Australii, Nowej Zelandii, Kanadzie i Republiki Południowej Afryki. Pozytywne doświadczenia innych państw w przedmiotowej kwestii mogą służyć jako przykład utworzenia i doskonalenia rozwiązań w Polsce.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a current legal status in Poland in reference to expanding the scope of practice of nurses and midwives to writing prescriptions. According to the new regulations, nurses and midwives will be able to write prescriptions from 1 January 2016 on the basis of a bill motioned by the government. Additionally, there was included a brief characteristic of experience of other countries in that matter. The functioning of the system of writing prescriptions by nurses has been discussed based on example of 10 countries: Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, The United States, Botswana, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Republic of South Africa. Positive experience of other countries in this subject may serve as an example for creating and developing such solutions in Poland.

The aim of the article is to show that Latin and Greek derived words are still effectively used in Polish pharmaceutical terminology. The study focuses on the trade names of medicinal products and the forms in which these terms appear in the above mentioned nomenclature. The author defines some noticeable and characteristic paradigms of the presence of Latin and Greek forms that occur in specific groups of medicines identified in the article, points to some visible trends in the use of non-classical languages and emphasizes the importance of Latin and Greek in the ever-growing Polish pharmaceutical market.

Łacina i greka w świecie współczesnego nazewnictwa farmaceutycznego w Polsce Celem artykułu jest ukazanie, że słowa pochodzące z łaciny i greki są nadal efektywnie wykorzystywane w polskiej terminologii farmaceutycznej na przykładzie nazw handlowych leków oraz form, w jakich owe terminy pojawiają się w interesującym autora nazewnictwie. Autor pracy definiuje pewne zauważalne i charakterystyczne paradygmaty pojawiania się form łacińskich i greckich, które występują w konkretnych wyodrębnionych w artykule grupach leków, wskazuje na pewne widoczne tendencje w zastosowaniu języków innych niż klasyczne oraz podkreśla, jak ogromne znaczenie ma łacina i greka w ciągle rozwijającym się polskim przemyśle farmaceutycznym.

Using the example of a global pharmaceutical industry, I examine the role of private companies in fulfilling social aims. I address the problem of aid in the context of availability of affordable and safe medicines in developing countries, which is one aspect of fulfilling the right to health. Are the mechanisms of free market and philanthropic actions of pharmaceutical companies sufficient to guarantee essential medicines to the most vulnerable inhabitants of the world? Are international pharmaceutical concerns obliged to guarantee human rights only or to deliver human rights, in particular the right to health, as well? The article presents the conflict of interests between profit-driven pharmaceutical industry and ethically-driven public health, which can be fully addressed only by certain legal regulations. The thesis argued in the article is that free market itself cannot solve its failures (such as undersupply of innovations, undersupply of non-beneficial medicines, monopolistic policies and pricing); to solve the problem it is required to set up public institutions and legal regulations of both local and global scope. Neither free market, nor benevolent aid actions of pharmaceutical companies can address the problem of health care in developing countries, where the lack of medicines is a small aspect of a much broader and intricate problem of poverty and the weakness of state institutions which are not responsive to the basic needs of its citizens.
