Management considerations to implementing pharmaceutical care.
Progressing towards the goal of PC requires a fundamental change to pharmacy practice. Strong leadership and management skills will be needed to facilitate this change. Even with enthusiastic and capable staff, implementation of the PC model will require considerable effort. Changes to the department's mission statement and organizational structure will be required. From this beginning, an action plan for the department can be developed. This plan includes the training of individuals and/or recruiting the necessary personnel. An ongoing education program, as well as determining the value of your service, is required. With successful implementation the PC model will lead to the acceptance of the pharmacist's role as the person responsible for identifying, preventing, and resolving drug-related problems.

Childhood deaths from toy balloons.
We describe four children who died of suffocation by rubber balloons in Canada between 1983 and 1988. In the United States, at least 121 children have died in a similar manner in the 15 years between 1973 and 1988 according to a report by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Although the highest mortality occurred among infants, 30 (25%) of the 121 deaths occurred in children 6 years of age or older. Balloons account for 43% of the approximately 15 childhood deaths related to children's products that are documented each year by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Toy rubber balloons are thus the leading cause of pediatric choking deaths from children's products. Preventive efforts should be directed toward a ban on this type of balloon and the development of safer alternatives. Meanwhile, public information campaigns should alert parents, physicians, and policymakers to the dangers of toy rubber balloons.

Allopurinol hypersensitivity in a patient with coexistent systemic lupus erythematosus and tophaceous gout.
A patient with coexistent Klinefelter's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and chronic tophaceous gouty arthritis developed allopurinol hypersensitivity. The drug was reinstituted by a schedule of gradually increasing doses. Gout should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with SLE who present with acute arthritis and/or subcutaneous nodules particularly in those with longstanding stable nephritis who are receiving diuretics for concomitant hypertension.
