Abstract:

Inhalational therapy is used to deliver medication to the lung, either to treat diseases or, less commonly, for systemic absorption. A number of devices have been developed to aid or improve inhalational therapy, and this thesis deals with metered dose inhalers, used with spacer devices, and nebulisers. Despite their seemingly simple construction and concept, the correct choice and use of an inhalational drug delivery device can dramatically alter the amount of drug available for inhalation. Studies in this thesis, supported by emerging pharmacokinetic evidence, have highlighted areas where th

Abstract:

Introduction: Medicines are used with the intention of benefitting from their effect. The effects of medicines can also be undesirable and potentially lead to harm. A drug-related problem (DRP) is a term used to describe problem(s) that exist in the use of medicines. There remains a distinct paucity of data on the epidemiology of DRPs in children with kidney disease. Aim: To investigate the epidemiology of DRPs in children with kidney disease in clinical practice at tertiary Paediatric Nephrology units.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the results of a longitudinal study of regular illicit drug users in Edinburgh, Scotland. Subjects were recruited using the method of 'snowballing'. An initial group of 115 regular users of illicit substances was interviewed using a semi-structured schedule. It was found that multiple substance use was the norm with many individuals reporting adverse consequences resulting from their use of licit and illicit drugs. Concern about HIV infection affected the drug taking behaviour of injectors, but in contrast, had little influence upon the sexual behaviour of both injectors

Abstract:

The last decade has witnessed a tremendous increase in the amount of available biological data. Different technologies for measuring the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome in different organisms are producing large amounts of high-dimensional data every day. High-dimensional data provides unprecedented challenges and opportunities to gain a better understanding of biological systems. Unlike other data types, biological data imposes more constraints on researchers. Biologists are not only interested in accurate predictive models that capture complex input-out

Abstract:

This is a study of drug delivery problems from hydrogels and it is mainly focused on the effects of the hydrogel's geometry on the behaviour of the release profile. Studying drug delivery also offers one the opportunity to delve into the physical mechanisms involved in the release process to better understand its theoretical implications. We can apply the well-developed theory of diffusion in order to understand many aspects of drug delivery. Thus, this thesis starts with a presentation of concepts and theories used in the following two articles (chapters). We go over the basic concept of drug

The need for cultural competence in making services more responsive to the diverse needs of patients has been highlighted by many authors (NCCC, 2004b; Geiger,2001; Philleo and Brisbane, 1997; Ehrmin, 2005). Philleo and Brisbane (1997)argued that at a time of increasing globalisation and international communication,cultural competency is as important as computer literacy. This means that to be considered a competent professional, such as a nurse, drug worker, youth worker or social worker, one needs to take into account the wider cultural context of the person who is coming for help.

Abstract:

It has been recognised that amphetamine users who experience problems with drug taking rarely initiate or retain contact with services. Reasons for this have been attributed to a stereotyped view that drug services are orientated towards opiate users and therefore have little to offer other drug using populations who may wish to seek formal help. Amphetamine dependency is a growing problem in the United Kingdom and commentators suggest that services will have to begin to acknowledge the diverse clinical needs of this population.

Background: Drugs are one of the cornerstones in the management of many diseases. In general, drugs are used for diagnosis, prevention, mitigation of symptoms, and, sometimes, to cure disease.

The aim of this thesis was to identify the extent of potentially inappropriate drug treatment among people with dementia and cognitive impairment and to assess the occurrence and character of drug-related problems that lead to acute hospital admissions

Abstract:

Background: Sequential drug decision problems (SDDP) occur when assigning drugs sequentially in long-term medical conditions. SDDPs are important for both clinical decision-making and resource allocation. They can be large and complex because of the considerable number of drug sequences and disease pathways and the interdependence between them over time. Where classic mathematical programming has a limited capacity for dealing with the complexities of a sequential decision problem, approximate optimisation methods have been widely used to solve the problem more efficiently using simulation.

The therapeutic alliance is fundamental for therapists who work with clients with drug problems. The alliance is central to engaging and retaining clients with drug problems in treatment and in facilitating a positive treatment outcome. Moreover, clients with drug problems may have significant difficulties in relating to others, which manifests itself in the client-therapist relationship. There is a paucity of research investigating therapists’ perceptions of the alliance with clients who use drugs. Consequently, this study aimed to explore how therapists experience and understand the alliance

Controlled drug delivery is a key topic in modern pharmacotherapy, where controlled drug delivery devices are required to prolong the period of release, maintain a constant release rate, or release the drug with a predetermined release profile. In the pharmaceutical industry, the development process of a controlled drug delivery device may be facilitated enormously by the mathematical modelling of drug release mechanisms, directly decreasing the number of necessary experiments. Such mathematical modelling is difficult because several mechanisms are involved during the drug release process. The
