Some reflections

This year did not start very well for me, rather it has been a year a little painful, but as Albus Dumbledore said, "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" and try to turn on the light. My friends invited me to join their vacations and it was the best decision I have made this year, I always wanted to know “San Pedro de Atacama” was my dream and although it was not within our vacation itinerary the first day and without planning we visited for the day San Pedro, was a wonderful day and of course I could not visit everything, but I know I'll be back.

A Situation that did not work so well, it was that I lost my job before I worked every weekend now it is more sporadic but it has not been so bad since I have a little more free time.

my achievements so far are not many, but I can emphasize that I like to knit but only wove scarves and  this year I managed to make a wool hat, and well I hope to be able to approve all my subjects since this is my last year and I would not want to stay another, and I hope can finish this year better than what started.

Man’s search for Meaning

Today i talk about of a book that for me is a very significant, the book was write for Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor and he wrote about his experiences as an Auschwitz concentration camp inmate during world war II, the book was publish under a different titles in 1959, I read under title Man’s search for Meaning.

The book identifies psychological reactions experienced by all inmates, and the book this divide in three parts, the first part describe the initial admission phase to the concentration camp, the second part talk about the life in concentration camp and like the inmate values only that which helps himself and his friends and the last part talk about as the surviver inmate come back to his life that is not the same life that left before concentration camp.

this is a good book for reflect on  we own life, especially when you are disillusion in the life . Viktor Frankl say that the meaning of life is found in every moment of living; life never ceases to have meaning, even in suffering and death

My favorite subject

This is my penultimate semester and I have a clinical pharmacology, this subject is not easy but I enjoy studying it.

To be able to take a clinical pharmacology it is necessary to have approved three subject’s pharmacology two, clinical Biochemistry and biopharmacy and pharmacokinetics, this is because clinical pharmacology is a subject very integrative where study of the effects of drugs on humans and with different physiopathology conditions.

In this subject, we have theoretical classes where we see the use of drug in older adults, pediatrics and different physiopathology in addition, we have seminars where we see analysis of real clinical cases presented and discussed by students, this activity is very stressful, because after the presenting clinical case, we must defend the choice of drugs based on current treatments, possible interactions with other drugs and foods, doses and because that drug is better and not another of similar action and the questions are very difficult.

I like this subject because I have learned to integrate previous knowledge and to value more
the role of the pharmaceutical chemist in the selection of the drug, it is an art.

PubMed

I do not admire anyone about my field so I will talk about my website favorite PubMed. 

i like because this website to search for reliable information, paper or reliable source. This website is a Database, where you can find biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.

PubMed have a search bar where you write keywords related with you want find, when you search for example information about diabetes and new treatment or new drug it will display many related articles but not all serve for  that you need for them it is important to learn to discriminate well the keywords that will help you find the information you want plus PubMed allows you to narrow the search for example if you want paper of the last 5 years or the type of article that do you want to find, can be Clinical trial, review or customize, too the text availability can be full text, free full text or abstracts.

I visit PubMed every time that I necessity perform research work or when I want to know more about a specific topic.
