Farmacopéia Brasileira 5ª Edição.2010. constituída de Volume 1 - Métodos Gerais e textos e Volume 2 - Monografias. Brazilian Pharmacopoeia . ANVISA Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária [National Health Surveillance Agency]

A Farmacopéia Brasileira 5ª Edição foi aprovada através da RDC 49/2010, que revogou todas as edições anteriores.

The Brazilian Pharmacopoeia is the country´s official pharmaceutical code, and is responsible for establishing the quality requisites for medicaments. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the Portuguese Pharmacopoeia was adopted in Brazil as the official code of medicaments. Considering the large number of products from the native Brazilian flora not listed in that Pharmacopoeia and which were used in the official medicine at that time, such publication was not appropriated for the country´s needs.

The Brazilian pharmacopoeia represents the official pharmaceutical code of the country setting forth quality requirements for pharmaceuticals, herbal medicinal products, medicines, pharmaceutical supplies and health products. This compendium covers 592 monographs of which 367 are included in the Brazilian essential medicinal products list (Relação Nacional de Medicamentos essenciais, Rename). For the first time, this pharmacopoeia will be available in both hard and soft formats.

The International Pharmacopoeia Fourth Edition (4th Ed.) . 2 Volumes / 1499 pages. Hardback. 28 Feb 2007 . ISBN 9789241563017 . Farmacopéia Internacional WHO . OMS

The International Pharmacopoeia is an essential point of reference for anyone involved in the research, development or manufacture of medicines. The contents shall have legal status, whenever a national or regional authority expressly introduces it into appropriate legislation.

The pharmacopoeia consists of quality specifications for pharmaceutical substances and dosage forms together with supporting general methods of analysis. These features are intended to serve as source material for reference or adaptation by any World Health Organization (WHO) Member State wishing to establish pharmaceutical requirements.

'The International Pharmacopoeia – Fourth Edition' consolidates the texts of the five separate volumes of the third edition. Certain additions and amendments have been made to the notices in order to clarify the interpretation of the Pharmacopoeia and to facilitate application of the requirements by the user.

This fourth edition will include all the monographs in the third edition together with new monographs for didanosine, indinavir sulfate, nelfinavir mesilate, nevirapine, ritonavir, saquinovir, saquinovir mesilate. All the monograph texts are brought together in one section and the method texts in another. Each of these major sections are divided into appropriate sub-sections and the method texts are numbered for ease of cross-reference.

Method texts that have been updated include, for example, the text on high performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]. This has been revised to clarify certain technical terms and to add advice on adjustment of chromatographic conditions, as recommended by the WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations in October 2004.

Deutsches Arzneibuch 2011 (DAB 2011). Europäisches Arzneibuch, 6. Ausgabe Grundwerk 2008 inkl. Nachträge 6.1. - 6.8, Amtliche deutsche Ausgabe. 2011. ISBN 978-3-7692-5737-3 - German Pharmacopoeia - Farmacopéia Alemã

Kurztext
Das Europäische Arzneibuch besteht aus einem Allgemeinen Teil mit Analysenmethoden, Behältnissen und deren Materialien, Reagenzien und übergreifenden Monographiegruppen sowie einem Speziellen Teil mit Einzelmonographien.

Das Deutsche Arzneibuch wurde in seiner Struktur der Ph. Eur. angepasst. Nach und nach “wandern" immer mehr Texte aus dem DAB in die Ph. Eur., so dass das DAB schrumpft. Es wird aber sicher immer ein nationales Arzneibuch geben für die Vorschriften, die nicht europaweit gelten.

Die Arzneibücher enthalten Analysenvorschriften für Arzneistoffe, Arzneipflanzen, Impfstoffe, Blut und Blutprodukte, Nahtmaterialien, Darreichungsformen, Behältnisse und die dafür verwendeten Materialien, sowie Reagenzien und Hilfsstoffe. Anhand der Vorschriften werden Identität, Reinheit und Gehalt geprüft, also die Qualität von Arzneimitteln sichergestellt. Oberste Priorität hat immer das Europäische Arzneibuch (Ph. Eur.), weil es den freien Warenaustausch zwischen den beteiligten Ländern durch einheitliche Arzneimittelqualität ermöglichen soll.

Last Designing and Making Manual. : based on the geometric method - by George Koleff . 1997. Spiral binding. ISBN 0646321536

This book of George's uses the same geometric method as the shoe designing book to give you the measurements and angles that you will need to create your very own set of bespoke lasts.

Last making is not a necessary part of shoemaking, but the satisfaction of making your own lasts to complete a project is something special.

A plastic square is included in the book, this has the necessary angles that are used to make the geometric design for creating your lasts.

After measuring the foot, you are taken through the process of making a pair of lasts using basic tools.

Like George's other books it has lots of diagrams, and doesn't assume any prior knowledge.

Bespoke Shoemaking. A Comprehensive Guide to Handmade Footware. by Tim Skyrme ISBN 10: 0980293707 / 0-9802937-0-7 . ISBN 13: 9780980293708 . Publication Date: 2006. Binding: Paperback.

Bespoke Shoemaking - a comprehensive guide to handmade footwear is the first modern book to cover this fast growing area of interest. The author - Tim Skyrme, is a highly regarded Australian craftsman and teacher of hand shoemaking.

The book has taken 10 years in production and grew out of a small book written to help Tim's hand shoemaking students. The 300 pages cover the details of making shoes by hand, from measuring the feet, to handing over the finished footwear to the customer. However, shoemaking is a very practical subject to learn from a book. That is where the 704 photographs and drawings are so valuable. Virtually everything is illustrated in detail. For many years people have been asking for a book on hand shoemaking. This 2006 production has become the standard textbook throughout the world.

Who can use it?
Hand shoemaking combines so many different skills - from measuring feet and sharpening a knife, to operating an industrial sewing machine to very fine tolerances. "Bespoke Shoemaking" was produced to help people get through this learning "pain barrier" so that they can, with practice and experience, master hand shoemaking. The book has proved to be popular with students and more advanced shoemakers alike. There is certainly nothing else like it available.

The new book covers everything in the earlier book plus much more. Not only are there whole new chapters covering further styles of footwear, there is a chapter on Bottom Patterns, an extended chapter on Grading, and a chapter on dealing with more advanced pattern problems such as a bellows-tongue.

In the past, books on pattern cutting have often reflected the mystique which tends to surround the subject. Pattern Cutting takes a completely different approach. The whole book is written as an easy to use, step-by-step guide to producing patterns for shoemaking.

Each major type of footwear has a complete chapter devoted to it. The twelve basic types covered include trainers, basketball boots and an aerobic shoe. Most pages have two or three diagrams, illustrating each step in the process.

With each footwear type there is a detailed description of the process with measurements given wherever appropriate. Points to watch for and pitfalls to avoid are spelled out, so as to ensure the reader will stand the best possible chance of producing a workable pattern first time.

Who can use it?
The book has been designed to be used by anyone wanting to learn about producing patterns for footwear. In the main, people will fall into one of four groups:-

1) For footwear specialists who work for vendors importing and selling shoes, the book will provide a practical understanding of the production engineering process of footwear manufacturing. This has proved invaluable to people such as designers, range builders, buyers, quality controllers, and many others.

2) In the factory or workshop it can be used by trainees and more experienced pattern cutters alike, whenever they come across a type of footwear of which they have limited experience. In the smaller workshop the individual craftsman struggling to master the production of patterns with little or no outside help, will find the Handbook an essential guide around the numerous pitfalls which beset those working with no regular access to a skilled pattern cutter’s fund of experience.

3) In college it can prove an invaluable aid to students who have few if any modern textbooks on footwear production. The step-by-step approach lends itself very well to the practical aspect of learning, which is so essential with a subject such as producing patterns.

4) The shoe enthusiast who wants to know more about the process of getting the shape from a three-dimensional last into two-dimensional patterns, which the craftsman needs to make shoes. Because the book is written in plain language with a drawing for almost every step, it can be followed with very limited shoemaking knowledge. The initial chapter even describes the tools used and has a picture of each one.

World-wide use
Pattern Cutting is a replacement for the Pattern Cutters Handbook which has become a standard text on many college and university courses covering footwear. Pattern Cutter's Handbooks are in use in India, China, Japan, Fiji, South Africa, Greece, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Canada, USA, Ecuador, Peru and Fiji, as well as the UK.

Farmacopea de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos - FEUM : Suplemento para Dispositivos Médicos, Segunda Edición, 2011, ISBN: 978-607-460-189-3

El actual enfoque de riesgo sanitario bajo el cual han sido observados los dispositivos médicos los ha posicionado ya no como coadyuvantes en los tratamientos para la prevención, diagnóstico y rehabilitación de las enfermedades, sino en un lugar protagónico en el cuidado de la salud, principalmente por la existencia de padecimientos que los “medicamentos no pueden curar” como es el caso de la hidrocefalia o de algunos problemas cardiacos.

El presente suplemento de la Farmacopea Mexicana especializado en dispositivos médicos, se ha diseñado para asegurar que estos insumos para la salud puedan alcanzar un grado óptimo de seguridad y funcionamiento, implementando las pruebas y requisitos para que los productos se ajusten a las normas de calidad exigidas.

Contenido:

- 58 Métodos Generales de Análisis
- 171 Monografías de Dispositivos Médicos

Hace cuatro años, en 2006, se publicó la primera edición del Suplemento de la Farmacopea de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos especializado en dispositivos médicos. Su publicación fue un acontecimiento muy importante ya que en él se vio consolidado el trabajo y la participación activa de muchos integrantes de todos los sectores relevantes en este tema como son los académicos, los industriales, las autoridades y la comunidad de profesionales, que son responsables, cada uno en el ámbito que le corresponde, de que los lineamientos publicados en este Suplemento se apliquen y regule a los campos de la producción, control de la calidad y comercialización de los dispositivos médicos.

En los últimos años la Industria de los dispositivos médicos se ha convertido en una de las más importantes, con un crecimiento en dispositivos innovadores y con avances tecnológicos, éste Suplemento es una herramienta de gran utilidad para los industriales y autoridades de regulación sanitaria nacionales e internacionales que proporciona las reglas claras del proceso de regulación sanitaria y las especificaciones que serán evaluadas para verificar la Calidad, seguridad y eficacia de los Dispositivos Médicos.

Haber publicado el primer suplemento ha sido un logro muy importante, sin embargo, es necesario mantener el nivel de actualización acorde a los avances tecnológicos, de innovación, de fabricación y analíticos, que conlleva a continuos cambios en los marcos regulatorios internacionales. Por esta razón es un motivo más de reconocimiento al trabajo realizado y coordinado por la Comisión Permanente de la Farmacopea de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, la publicación de la Segunda edición de este Suplemento que permitió la revisión y actualización del material ya existente y ahora consta de un mayor número de monografías y métodos analíticos para dispositivos médicos.

En este Suplemento se definen y establecen las especificaciones que deben cumplir los dispositivos médicos para que tengan la calidad y el nivel de funcionamiento óptimo, así como los métodos de análisis para su verificación. La aplicación de estos métodos de análisis y su cumplimiento son la garantía de la seguridad y eficacia de estos insumos.

Un trabajo de esta magnitud solamente puede ser realizado por un equipo de trabajo multidisciplinario, no sólo interesado, sino comprometido con su profesión, con su entorno social y con su país. Las personas que conforman estos grupos de trabajo son las que nos llevan a alcanzar las metas que nos hemos propuesto en cuestión de los procesos de regulación sanitaria. Gracias a todas ellas y a las instituciones que las respaldan es que tenemos el beneplácito de presentar esta segunda edición del Suplemento de Dispositivos Médicos.
