Abstract:

The main therapy on musculoskeletal patients is the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) either as monotherapy or in combination with drugs of the same class or pain relievers from other groups. The use of more than one drugs have potentially caused drug-drug interactions that can affect to patient. This study was aimed to describe the patient's sociodemographic (sex, ages) and clinical (numbers of drugs, type of drugs and diagnose) characteristics, as well as to find the correlation between potential drug interactions with these variables. This research was a quantitative study with a cross sectional design. Data were taken from 100 medical records of patients who had diagnosed with top five musculoskeletal diseases. Data were analyzed descriptively for sex, ages, number of drugs, type of drugs, and potential drug interactions. Bivariate correlation with chi-square were conducted to find statistically significancy potential drug interactions with each variable consist of sex, ages, type of drugs and it’s diagnose. The result shows that the musculoskeletal patients were 44% male, 56% female. Most musculoskeletal patients were aged 18-65 years (78%). Patients who received drugs <5 were 68% and ≥ 5 were 32%. 54% of patients were taking the diclofenac and only 5% of patients were taking the two NSAIDs combination, diclofenac and ibuprofen. There was no significant correlation (p > 0,05) between potential drug interactions with age, sex, type of NSAID, and type of musculosceletal diseases.

Abstract:

This study, using microdata from the 1980 and 1984 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, examines the effects of drug use on wages and employment. Contrary to most previous researchers' findings that illegal drug use negatively affects earnings, this analysis suggests that, once an allowance is made for self-selection effects (that is, unobservable factors simultaneously affecting wages and the decision to use drugs), drug users actually received higher wages than non-drug users. A similar analysis of employment effects shows that the sample of all drug users (which included users of “hard” and “soft” drugs) had lower employment levels than non-drug users, but the smaller sample consisting only of users of hard drugs, surprisingly, did not.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Müller & Schumann (M&S) view of drug use is courageous and compelling, with radical implications for drug policy and research. It implies that most nations prohibit most drugs that could promote happiness, social capital, and economic growth; that most individuals underuse rather than overuse drugs; and that behavioral scientists could use drugs more effectively in generating hypotheses and collaborating empathically.

Abstract:

Objectives: To evaluate drug prescribing practices at Medical Unit, ICU andNephrology Unit, using WHO prescribing indicators, in order to promote rational drug use.Study Design: A retrospective cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: BolanMedical Complex Hospital Quetta, Pakistan, from July to December 2015. Methodology: Drugprescribing trends in 218 prescriptions were scrutinized thoroughly. Data was collected bywell-trained pharmacy personals by using prescriptions and prescription registration booksof patients. Descriptive statistics were calculated on SPSS version 16.0. Results: The averagenumber of drugs prescribed per prescription were 4.11 whereas, WHO recommends that itshould be 2.00 or less. Alternatively, percentage of drugs prescribed by generic name and froman essential drug list were 14.73% and 78.35% while, in accordance with WHO it must be 100%and 70% correspondingly. On the other hand, percentage of encounters having antibiotics orinjections prescribed were 18.33% and 32.79% but according to WHO it should be20% or lessand 10%respectively. Nevertheless, proper diagnosis was stated in 89.44% of prescriptionsand 72.11% prescriptions had complete relevance between treatment and diagnosis. Alongwith, appropriate drug dosage and their administration was instituted in 65.16% of prescriptionsand 73.21% of prescriptions had accurate duration of therapy. Conclusion: The prescribingpatterns in Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta reflect the practice of polypharmacy, whichis more of an irrational type in contrast to WHO recommendations. Thus, there is an urge tobring about some interventions to improve the pharmacotherapy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Dyslipidemia is the commonest cause of many atherosclerotic diseases. Statins are the mainstay of the management of dyslipidemia, and it is widely prescribed for patients in Indonesia. This study aims to give an overview, the use of statin, and its drug-drug interactions. The study method was descriptive, using a purposive sampling technic. The inclusion criteria were patients who received statins therapy, in the outpatient installation of Tugurejo Regional Public Hospital, Semarang, during April 2017. There were 334 patients meet the inclusion criteria, most of them were women (63,28%). The highest patients’ range was 60-69 years old of 129 patients (38,62%). One hundred and thirty-one patients (39,22%) were diagnosed with dyslipidemia only. The dosage range of simvastatin and rosuvastatin was 10 to 20 mg once daily, but rosuvastatin was only given 10 mg once daily. The most dose was 10 mg simvastatin per day, prescribed for 231 patients (69,16%). There were 177 patients (52,99%) who has the potentiate of statin drug interactions. The most were simvastatin-amlodipine interactions, occurs in 104 patients (31,14%). This study shows that most statin users are elderly patients. Statin is used not only in dyslipidemia patients. There are many potential statin drug-drug interactions, but the statin dose is low and not over the standard doses. Keyword: dyslipidemia, statins, drug interactions

Abstract:

Background: Considering the economic burden the skin diseases cause owing to its high prevalence, it is of interest to periodically monitor the drug use pattern so as to increase the therapeutic efficacy, decrease adverse effects and provide feedback to prescribers. The present study thus assessed the drug use practices among dermatology outpatients in a tertiary care teaching unit in Eastern India.Methods: The study assessed drug use practices for all prescriptions of patients attending the concerned OPD using WHO core drug use indicators which consist of mainly three domains, prescribing indicators, patient care indicators and healthcare indicators.Results: Total number of drugs in 471 prescriptions was found to be 1050. Number of drugs per prescription varied from 1 to 6 with average of 2.22. The most commonly prescribed drugs were antibiotics, followed by steroids and steroidal combinations. Prescribing indicators revealed that 2.09% drugs were generic prescribing, with about 18.78% of the drugs being prescribed from the WHO essential drug list. The proportion of encounters with at least one antibiotic prescribed was 34.82%. 13.9% drugs actually dispensed from hospital supply, of which all were adequately labelled.Conclusions: Increasing dermatological prescribing has necessitated assessment of their rational usage. Promoting rational drug use policy is recommended for effective healthcare management.

Abstract:

Exposure to childhood physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect have been found to have a positive association with drug use. Various studies have demonstrated how individuals may turn to drugs as a form of coping. However, this is a negative form of coping, which can take a toll on one’s mental state and even impact families and society. Studies have reported that a higher number of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a stronger association with substance use later in life [1,3]. Recent research has also demonstrated those who experienced childhood neglect also displayed anxiety or depression, which might suggest a reason for the connection between the negligence and drug use [14]. There is also research that shows that childhood maltreatment could influence one’s susceptibility to drugs and the structural remodeling of the brain [4]. Various types of drugs have been used in association with childhood trauma; however, no single drug was reported to have a greater association than the others. Substance abuse has been a rising issue over the years. With the understanding that childhood trauma could contribute to the onset of drug use, it is essential to gain a better knowledge of the specific types of substance abuse linked to childhood trauma. Future examination of this topic can help raise awareness and educate society on the effects of childhood trauma and how to prevent drug use associated with it.

Abstract:

This study examined the stability of adolescent drug use into young adulthood and explored the possible influence of personality on adolescent and adult drug use. Participants in this longitudinal study ( N = 640) completed questionnaires which assessed multiple indicators for latent constructs of tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and hard drugs, and also for the personality constructs of Socialization. In addition, the effects of obedience and extraversion were examined. Results showed that a general drug use factor in adolescence significantly predicted young adult drug use. A particular effect of adolescent obedience on adult drug use was noted. Within adolescence, obedience, extraversion, and the construct of Socialization were significant predictors of drug use. Early onset of smoking predicted adolescent drug use. The implications of these findings for early drug use education and intervention are discussed. Additional analysis explored the possibility of treating obedience as another indicator of Socialization. This model could not provide as good a fit as the original model. The measure of obedience acted as a better predictor of drug use than an overall factor of Socialization. Gender differences are discussed.

Abstract:

Diabetes is assopciated with long-term micro- and macrovascular complications, and is widely recognized as a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. As the western lifestyle spreads throughout the world, so does the prevalence of type 2 diabetes.1This disease involves a combination of b- cell dysfunction and insulin resistance such that the body struggles to maintain euglycemia. Glucagon, as well as insulin, is an important regulator of glucose metabolism, helping to stimulate glucose production in the liver. In type 2 diabetes, plasma glucagon concentrations are often elevated, causing an increase in glucose output.

Abstract:

A prospective multi-agency survey of problem drug use associated with illicit drugs and solvents in the city of Bristol in 1984–1985 found 759 problem drug users, giving a period prevalence rate of 0.4–0.8% of those aged 10–44 years. The group was a young one, with 92% under the age of 35. Over half had problems associated with opiates, mainly illicit heroin; 17% had problems associated with solvents, 9% with cannabis, 13% with stimulants, mainly illicit amphetamine, and 3% with hallucinogens. There was little indication of problematic use of barbiturates or cocaine. The problems associated with drugs and solvents were wide-ranging and not specific for individual drugs. Future community surveys would find it cost-effective to concentrate on the five best sources identified here, and to supplement these with indications of drug-taking among teenagers. The difficulties of using the definition of problem drug use for research and the value of case-register surveys for community drug monitoring are discussed.

Abstract:

Background/Aims: In Korea, medications are available by prescription from a physician, or can be purchased over-the-counter (OTC) without a prescription. Education regarding both prescribed and OTC drugs is important to minimize side effects and avoid drug abuse. The risk of side effects due to polypharmacy is increasing due to the growing number of elderly patients with comorbidities.Methods: There are various clinical guidelines for physicians, but it is difficult for patients and their caregivers to find published guidelines regarding drug use. In this regard, experts from nine subspecialties of internal medicine, geriatric medicine, and guideline development methodology formed a working group to develop guidelines for safe drug use under the Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee of the Korean Association of Internal Medicine.Results: The main contents of this guideline are 1) safe and effective drug administration, 2) the proper use of analgesics (acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), 3) the proper use of tranquilizers and sleeping pills to prevent drug abuse, 4) points to be aware of when taking multiple medications.Conclusions: The guidelines were developed for patients and their caregivers to understand the general principles and precautions for drug use, including commonly used painkillers, mood stabilizers, sleeping pills, and polypharmacy. These guidelines could also be used as educational materials for physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers to educate patients and their caregivers.

Abstract:

Misuse of drugs is a serious health problem all around the world. Rational drug use can be characterized as follows: patients receive drugs that meet their clinical needs, at doses that meet their requirements, promptly and at the lowest cost to themselves and their region. Drug abuse, polypharmacy, and misuse are the most prominent drug use problems today. Misuse of drugs can occur for a variety of reasons at different levels, including recommended mistakes and over-the- counter medications. Inappropriate use of income can lead to real negative benefits and financial results. There are many irrational drug mixtures available. Appropriate rational use of medicines will increase personal satisfaction and lead to better local health services. A list of essential medicines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) can assist the countries around the globe in rationalizing the distribution and purchasing of medicines, thus decreasing the costs to healthcare systems. Irrational drug use has been a subject of concern for years as it affects the health system and patients badly. Irrational use of drugs can result from several factors such as patient, prescriber, dispenser, health system, supply system, or regulations. Thus, diverse strategies have been used to promote rational drug use and also to tackle irrational use. Thereby the concept of rational and irrational drug use and factors that lead to either result should be identified and monitored.

Abstract:

Free associations reveal a close relationship between drug use and such psychological dispositions as dominant perceptions, attitudes, and systems of mental representations. The investigations reported here address the relationship of perceived harm or appeal of drugs, age, and reported drug use through analysis of the free associations of students from elementary to graduate school. Subsamples of drug users and non-users are also included. Comparisons across the range of years studied (10 to 29) showed how subjective meanings and the system of mental representation, including those characteristic of drug users and non-users, evolve as a function of age. Based on the domains studied, the distance measured between user/non-user groups and between age groups showed systematic and predictable increases reflecting on construct validity. The perceptual and motivational dispositions identified were significantly correlated with drug use (behavioral validation). The results offer new insights into the role of such variables as perceived harm and subjective appeal.
