er aspects to establish storage optimization strategies, to focus on a more advanced logistics management model, as well as to take advantage of the extraordinary multidisciplinary network, which has been consolidated during this COVID pandemic.The purpose of this article is to report the experience of the Department of Hospital Pharmacy of a mid-size hospital during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The human and material resources available in a mid-size hospital were more limited than in larger hospitals of the region. In this article, we describe how this Department of Hospital Pharmacy was reorganized to meet the increase in activity, the strategies developed and the lessons learned for future pandemics. The COVID-19 pandemic had a higher impact in Leganes, a city in the south of Madrid, with a population of 190,000. In the face of the dramatic increase in the proportion of patients attending our hospital between March and April 2020, the Severo Ochoa University Hospital increased the number of beds by 24.5% and fitted out new premises inside and outside the hospital (sports centers). The mean number of patients seen in our Emergency Department every day passed from 70-80 to a peak of 286 patients, with 652 hospitalized patients. The situationrtment has been able to reorganize its processes and take over new responsibilities such as telepharmacy and home dispensing. Hospital pharmacies play a crucial role in pharmacotherapeutic decisions in hospitals. As in other Departments, training is the area more significantly affected by the pandemic.The WHO declared the SARS- CoV-2 outbreak a pandemic in March 11, 2020. Spain has been the third country with the highest number of reported cases of COVID-19. In the face of the pandemic, the authorities of the Autonomous Community of Madrid led an unprecedented transformation of hospital services by increasing the number of beds available, setting up temporary field hospitals in fairgrounds, and transforming hotels into support centers for patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19. In the light that this crisis will continue to be a real threat for the years to come, our hospital pharmacies need to be better prepared for similar outbreaks in the future. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Hospital Pharmacy of Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón has faced four challenges an exponential increase in the demand for resources, constant changes to therapeutic protocols and approaches, regulatory changes, and a dramatic impact on hospital staff (strain on human resources and psychological impact). This article is aimed at describing the main organizational changes implemented to the Department of Hospital Pharmacy of Hospital GU Gregorio Marañón and its relationship with other hospital pharmacies of the Community of Madrid. An account is provided of the strategies to be adopted for reorganizing a Department of Hospital Pharmacy and achieve a safe and effective use of medications. Strategies range from the creation of integral hospital task groups (COVID-crisis task group, protocolization task group, research task group) to the adaptation of the internal organization of the Department of Hospital Pharmacy, which encompasses aspects related to management and leadership; a communication plan (internal and external); staff management, and the reorganization and adaptation of processes. People, patients and professionals are at the core of these strategies. This paper is a reflection on key factors of "humanization in COVID times".Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is implicated in subsequent development of asthma/wheezing (AW) among term and pre-term infants. We describe the cumulative incidence of AW among hospitalized and ambulatory neonates/infants/toddlers following RSV infection diagnosis over three independent follow-up periods. Methods Between January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2016, patients aged 0-2 years old with first clinical diagnosis of RSV infection were identified using the Optum® integrated electronic health records and claims database. Patients diagnosed with AW ≤ 30 days post-RSV diagnosis were excluded. Three cohorts with 1, 3, and 5 years of follow-up were stratified by presence or absence of specific RSV high-risk factors, including pre-term birth and pre-defined, pre-existing comorbidities. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression results were reported. Results Overall, 9811, 4524, and 1788 RSV-infected high-risk factor negative patients were included in 1, 3, and 5-year independent cohorts, respectively. Of these, 6.5%, 6.9%, and 5.8%, respectively had RSV-related hospitalization. By the end of follow-up, 14.9%, 28.2%, and 36.3% had AW events. Overall, 3030, 1378, and 552 RSV-infected high-risk factor positive patients were included in the respective cohorts. Of these, 11.4%, 11.1%, and 11.6%, respectively were hospitalized with initial RSV infection and 18.1%, 32.9%, and 37.9% had subsequent AW events within the follow-up period. Logistic regression confirmed RSV-related hospitalization significantly increased the likelihood of developing AW (P less then .05) in high-risk factor positive and negative patients. Conclusions In infants diagnosed with RSV infection, RSV-related hospitalization was associated with a significantly increased likelihood of AW development for at least 5 years, compared with non-hospitalized patients.3D imaging is becoming more and more popular, as it allows us to identify interactions between structures in organs. Furthermore, it gives the possibility to quantify and size these structures. 20s Proteasome activity To allow 3D imaging, the tissue sample has to be transparent. This is usually achieved by using optical tissue clearing protocols. Although using optical tissue clearing often results in perfect 3D images, these protocols have some pitfalls, like long duration of sample preparation (up to several weeks), use of toxic substances, damage to antibody staining, fluorescent proteins or dyes, high refractive indices, and high costs of sample processing.Recently we described [Huang et al., Scientific Reports 9(1) 521 (2019)] a fast, safe, and inexpensive ethyl cinnamate (ECi) based optical tissue clearing protocol. Here, we present extensions of our protocol with respect to the deparaffinization of old paraffin-embedded samples allowing 3D imaging of the blocks. In addition, we learned to remove ECi from the samples allowing the use of routine immunolabeling protocols.
