To ascertain the level of agreement with the “Ten Commandments for patient-centred treatment” by physicians in Central Portugal, exploring differences by age group, sex and medical speciality. Material and methods. An online questionnaire in September of 2016, sent to doctors registered in the Central Regional Section of the Portuguese Medical Association, with weekly reminders to non-respondents. The English wording was translated to Portuguese, a questionnaire with a four-grade answer was created and its reliability determined. Variables such as sex, age group and medical specialty were considered. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. Results. A representative yet convenient sample of 811 doctors participated. Their description is as follows: ≤ 35 years n = 203, ≥ 36 and ≤ 55 years n = 217 and ≥ 56 years n = 373, women n = 391 (49.2%), General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM) n = 301, medical specialty n = 303 and medico-surgical specialty n = 173. By medical specialty, for commandment 1, there is higher prevalence of “Disagree/Completely Disagree” in the GP/FM specialty (p < 0.001). By gender, for commandment 1, women vs men doctors “Disagree/Completely Disagree” proportion of 11.7% vs 6,4% (p = 0.003). For the younger age groups, there is a greater proportion of “Disagree/Completely Disagree” for Commandment 1 (p = 0.016), for Commandment 4 (p = 0.007), for Commandment 6 (p = 0.001), for Commandment 7 (p = 0.001) and for Commandment 8 (p = 0.020). Conclusions. There is vast agreement with the “Ten Commandments for patient-centred treatment” in central Portugal. For Commandments 1, 3 and 6, the proportion of “Disagree/Completely Disagree” is higher than for the remaining. There is a need for future investigations to explain the present results.

Morphine is an opiate alkaloid characterized by various clinical effects, among which the most prominent are its analgesic and psychoactive effects. It also has a prominent depressive effect on the respiratory and cardiovascular system. Because of its psychoactive effect, morphine is very addictive and often used as a recreational narcotic. As a medication, it has found its use as an analgesic agent in chronic pain treatment, in hemorrhagic shock, and in acute heart failure with pulmonary edema. Albeit, morphine use in heart failure is controversial, based on many observational studies showing the negative effect on the outcomes of the patients treated with morphine during acute cardiovascular incidents. In this report, the authors present a case of cardiogenic shock (CS) with transient left ventricular ejection fraction reduction, occurring in a patient attempting suicide using a high dose of intravenous morphine sulphate administration. Other CS causes were ruled out. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the second case of a morphine-related CS reported in literature.

Praca zawiera omówienie wyników opinii kryminalistycznych wykonanych w Narodowym Instytucie Leków w latach 2007–2011 dotyczących preparatów w postaci tabletek i kapsułek, zatrzymanych przez policję i prokuraturę w związku z nielegalnym przerywaniem ciąży. Analizę jakościową tych produktów wykonywano metodami instrumentalnymi. Preparaty zawierały następujące substancje czynne: mizoprostol (Cytotec, Misoprostol 200 μg), mizoprostol i diklofenak (Arthrotec), mifepriston (Mifepristone Tablets 200 mg), prednizon (Encorton). Przedmiotem badań były również kapsułki z omeprazolem. Przy określaniu składu jakościowego masy tabletkowej – zidentyfikowano celulozę mikrokrystaliczną oraz cukry: laktozę i sacharozę. Preparaty z mizoprostolem, czy omeprazolem stosowane są w leczeniu stanów zapalnych żołądka i dwunastnicy, zaś z mizoprostolem i diklofenakiem w leczeniu stanów zapalnych i zwyrodnieniowych stawów. Wykorzystywanie tych produktów leczniczych do usuwania ciąży jest w Polsce nielegalne, a ich działanie opiera się na występowaniu niepożądanych skutków ubocznych występujących niekiedy w trakcie legalnej terapii. Preparat Encorton zawierający substancję czynną prednizon nie wywołuje poronień, lecz jego stosowanie przez kobiety w ciąży może narazić noworodka na niewydolność nadnerczy. Przy wykonywaniu niektórych opinii stwierdzono, że preparaty oferowane na nielegalnym rynku składają się z czystej laktozy i nie zawierają żadnych substancji czynnych.
