This work starts from the recognition of the important role that the community pharmacist plays, in health care, to people who suffer from a terminal process and to their family members and / or caregivers. There is no doubt that the advice, treatment and accompaniment of health professionals is essential in any pathology that involves a vital commitment. The community pharmacist, as a health agent, must be involved in these processes. However, on many occasions it is forgotten by a health system that wastes, in this way, one of its most qualified professionals. We are convinced that the terminally ill patient and their family members and / or caregivers would be greatly favored by a greater involvement of pharmacists in their processes. For this reason, this article reflects on the benefits of including the community pharmacist in the healthcare team that cares for people in the termina...

The Yellow-spotted river turtle (Podocnemis unifilis) and the Geoffroy's side-necked turtle (Phrynops geoffroanus) represent species with high environmental and economic value. To assess the status of their populations, the abundance index (AI) was estimated through 20 aquatic transects of 10 km in length in three sectors: Alto Purús National Park (PNAP), Purús Communal Reserve (RCP) and Buffer Zone (communal territory adjacent to the RCP). 737 records were obtained with 2335 individuals sighted for Yellow-spotted river turtle (taricaya) and only 17 records with 25 individuals sighted for Geoffroy's side-necked turtle (teparo). The AI of the taricaya for CPR was 3.9 ind/km traveled (SE = 0.6). A greater AI could be evidenced in the subsectors within the PNAP and progressively lower AI in the sectors of the Buffer Zone (ZA) of the RCP. These results value the importance of protected nat...
