Abstract:
Antipsychotic drugs are the mainstay of treatment for psychotic disorders according to the Standard Treatment Guidelines (2012). However, these drugs are associated with multiple severe adverse drug reactions. In order to limit the effect of adverse drug reactions on patient care, documentation is necessary. Documentation of adverse drug reactions entails recording the reaction experienced, as well as supplementary information. Proper documentation can prevent future occurrences of the same or similar adverse drug reactions. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an educational

Medication-related patient injuries (adverse drug events, ADEs) are an important problem in all hospitalised populations; however, the potential for injury is reported to be greater in children than adults.

Binge drinking is characterised by cycles of ethanol intoxication and withdrawal and is thought to be highly deleterious for the normal functioning of the nervous system. The behavioural and neurophysiological consequences of rapid escalation of blood alcohol concentration and subsequent withdrawal, and their effects on learning and memory and underlying neural circuitry can be studied in suitable animal models. Here, spatial and instrumental learning as well as hippocampal LTP were assessed in C57BL/6J mice for the effects of adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) and other ethanol treatments.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>臨床藥學研究所<br>97<br>Background NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are among the most widely used medicines in the world.

Although clinical trial results suggest that coxibs has less gastrointestinal toxicity than most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but not in meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Smoking, alcohol and other drugs use among high school learners has become a major public health problem across the globe. Here in South Africa, it is estimated that a large proportion of learners indulge in smoking and the use of alcohol and illicit drugs.
