O estágio curricular para a obtenção do grau de mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas teve a duração total de 800 horas divididas equitativamente por duas componentes: a investigação e a farmácia comunitária.
A componente de investigação foi desenvolvida no laboratório de patologia clínica do Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira, na cidade da Covilhã em que se estudou o papel dos vírus na infeção respiratória inferior da criança com menos de dois anos. Este trabalho teve como objetivos estudar a taxa de incidência dos diferentes vírus respiratórios relacionando-os com a gravidade do quadro clínico, bem como as diferenças existentes entre o vírus sincicial respiratório (VSR) do tipo A e do tipo B e comparar os diferentes métodos de diagnóstico laboratorial disponíveis para a sua pesquisa, nomeadamente a imunocromatografia, a imunofluorescência e a biologia molecular. Concluiu-se que uma parcela significativa das infeções do trato respiratório inferior está associada aos vírus, particularmente, ao VSR. Embora se tenha associado a presença deste vírus e, de modo especial, o subtipo A a quadros clínicos mais graves, estes dados devem ser interpretados com precaução devido às limitações do estudo. Identificou-se a imunofluorescência como a técnica mais adequada ao diagnóstico de rotina do VSR aliada à triagem rápida pela imunocromatografia, nomeadamente nas épocas de maior incidência viral.
O estágio em farmácia comunitária foi realizado na Farmácia da Estação de Nine, em Vila Nova de Famalicão cujos principais objetivos foram dotar o futuro farmacêutico com mais armas técnico-científicas para enfrentar os novos desafios que, hoje em dia, se colocam à farmácia. Durante o estágio foram observadas e desenvolvidas todas as metodologias caraterísticas do dia-a-dia de uma farmácia de oficina, desde a receção, aprovisionamento e preparação de medicamentos, atendimento ao público e procedimentos de faturação. Concluiu-se que o farmacêutico ocupa um lugar de excelência e extrema importância no sistema de saúde.
The curricular internship to obtain the degree of Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences had a total duration of 800 hours divided equally by two components: research and community pharmacy. The research component was developed in the clinical pathology laboratory of the Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira, in Covilhã studding the role of viruses in lower respiratory infections in children under two years old. The main objectives of this work were to study the incidence rate of various respiratory viruses by relating them to the severity of clinical symptoms, including the differences between the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) types A and B and to compare the different methods available for laboratory diagnosis, including the imunocromatographic methods, immunofluorescence and molecular biology. It was concluded that a significant proportion of the lower respiratory tract infections is associated to viruses, especially, the RSV. Although more severe clinical status has been associated with this virus, especially, the subtype A, these data should be interpreted with caution due to the limitations of the study. The immunofluorescence technique was identified as the most suitable for routine diagnostic of RSV coupled with the rapid screening by imunocromatography, particularly in times of viral predominance. The internship in community pharmacy was conducted in Farmácia da Estação de Nine, in Vila Nova de Famalicão. The main objectives were to equip future pharmacist with more technical and scientific weapons to face the new challenges that are presented to the pharmacy nowadays. During the internship all the typical methodologies of the daily routine of a pharmacy were observed and developed. These included reception, supply and preparation of drugs, client service and billing procedures. It was concluded that the pharmacist occupies a place of excellence and extreme importance in the health system.
