Self-medication refers to the practice of treating oneself with medication without consulting a healthcare professional. This practice can be dangerous to health. This study aimed to assess the practice of self-medications and associated factors among students in Taiba University, Saudi Arabia. Across sectional study was employed to investigate the practice of self-medications among 210 students in Taiba University by using a self-administered questionnaire.Among all respondents, 87.1% practiced self-medication at least one medication in the last year. The most common self-medication was pain killers (80%) and the most common indication of use was headache (75%). Reasons of self-medication practices were previous experience (52.9%) and no serious health symptoms (51.0%). The most common source of information was personal knowledge (51.0%). The prevalence of elf-medication practice was 87.1%. The most common self-medication was pain killers while, the most common indication of self-medication was headache. The most common reason for self-medication practices was previous experience, and the most common source of information was personal knowledge. Males practiced self-medications more than females.

As a result of various health concerns, children are receiving an increased number of medications while at school. In Pennsylvania, the School Code mandates a ratio of 1 certified school nurse to 1,500 students, which may mean that 1 school nurse is covering 3–5 buildings. This implies that unlicensed personnel are administering medications, a violation of licensing laws in Pennsylvania. The purpose of this study was to determine the policies and practices that Pennsylvania public schools have in place regarding medication administration. The sample consisted of 314 state-certified school nurses who returned a 71-question survey. Findings indicated that school nurses are very concerned about issues related to medication administration. Additional findings identified the lack of standing orders to administer over-the-counter medications, the increase in medication errors when the school nurse had responsibility for multiple buildings, and the lack of understanding of the ramifications of the Nurse Practice Act on school nursing practice in regard to delegation. Recommendations for practice include development of detailed policies and procedures and collaboration among all stakeholders in the development of policies that address legal issues.

(1) Background: Little data are available in Western countries regarding self-medication practices in the context of cancer. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of self-medication practices during (cancer patients) and after cancer (cancer survivors). (2) Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional, and online study was designed to assess self-medication prevalence. Other objectives were explored, notably the medication types, the perceived risks, and the relation with symptoms and quality of life. (3) Results: Among the 518 patients analyzed, 56.4% declared they practiced self-medication. Dietary supplements and pain medications were used by more than half of the patients. Self-medication was practiced in order to manage the adverse effects of anticancer therapies (63.8%), for which pain was the leading indication (39%), and to improve the efficacy of anticancer therapies (43.8%, cancer patients). Patients believed that self-medication could not lead to drug interactions with anticancer therapies (84.9%, cancer patients), or to adverse effects (84.6%, cancer patients and survivors). Self-medication practices were associated with altered social functioning, pain, insomnia, and financial difficulties. (4) Conclusions: Self-medication was performed by more than half of the responders (ongoing or past cancer) and could be a marker of the undermanagement of cancer and treatment-related adverse effects.

AimsThe aims of the audit was to find out current practices regarding implementation of covert administration policy guidance. The Covert Medication Administration policy was introduced during the past two years, but due to ongoing pandemic, awareness of it was low. Guidelines for when making a decision to administer medication covertly were clear in the policy. Covert medication administration is a very restrictive practice, albeit clearly in a patient's best interests. Instances were found when medication for physical health was administered covertly and there isn't authority to do so under the Mental Health Act as noted in Care Quality Commissioning inspections.MethodsThe sample selection was obtained by Incident Reporting forms for covert medication prescription from which 10 patients were identified from a four month retrospective sample of geriatric psychiatric inpatient admissions at the Juniper Centre at Moseley Hall Hospital, Birmingham from April to August 2021.ResultsCovert medications administered were used to treat physical and mental health conditions. The physical health medication given was not for side-effects of mental health medication. Of the 22 medications and 10 patients there were no instances where the covert medication checklist had been completed. 9 of 22 medications (41%) (across 7 patients (70%)) had neither a best interest meeting nor a separate discussion held with the patient's family, friend, carer or advocate documented on the electronic record. Of the 22 medications, 7 medications (32%) belonging to 3 different patients had documentation of pharmacist involvement in the decision of covert medication administration whereas 15 medications belonging to 8 different patients did not.ConclusionOur findings conclude inadequate following of the standards protocol of the covert medication administration policy. Despite 77% of medications being prescribed with a completed multi-disciplinary covert care plan and 95% of medications having had completed Incident Reporting forms, the rest of the standards were notably missed.

Improper use of medications and self-medication are public health problems due to drug interactions, intoxications and delay in medical diagnosis. The objective was to discuss the importance of the rational use of medicines in the pharmaceutical care policies and the pharmacist's action to prevent self-medication practices by the population. This is a literature review of scientific articles published between 2005 and 2015 in the databases and virtual library, Scielo, LILACS and BVS. Self-medication is practiced by the adult, the elderly, and the child, and anti-inflammatories and analgesics are the most commonly used medications. Self-medication is practiced by the adult, the elderly, and the child, and anti-inflammatories and analgesics are the most commonly used medications. Pharmaceutical care reduces drug related problems, contributing to rational use and reducing the practice of self-medication for the population.

Background: Self-medication begins in early adolescence, often during the middle school years. By the age of 16, nearly all adolescents have taken medicine independently for minor illnesses and become more involved with managing chronic conditions. Taking medications without a doctor's prescription, even if the ailment is minor, can have serious repercussions. A large number of potent drugs such as pain relievers, cough remedies, anti-allergies, laxatives, antibiotics, antacids and vitamins are sold over-the-counter (OTC). The present study aimed to assess “the knowledge and practices of self-medication among adolescents in selected colleges, Bengaluru, India with a view to develop an informational booklet.Methods: The study was done using a survey design. Simple random sampling technique was adopted to select 100 adolescents from a pre-university college. A socio demographic Performa, a self-reported structured questionnaire to assess knowledge and practice checklist regarding self-medication was used to collect the data. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for analysis.Results: Self-medication use was reported by 94% of the adolescents. Analgesics 65%, antipyretics 51%, cough and cold medications 49%, vitamins 35%, antibiotics 26%, and antacids 19%, were cited as the most common types of medication taken. Around 45% adolescents had poor knowledge about self-medication. There was a low negative correlation between knowledge and practice of self-medication among participants. (Pearson’s r=-0.44).Conclusions: The practice of self-medication among adolescent was very high. A significant number of adolescents had inadequate knowledge regarding self-medication and its consequences. Therefore, potential problems of self-medication should be emphasised to the adolescents. Need based information booklet was prepared and disseminated to the adolescents.

There are a significant number of students on maintenance medications for chronic diseases or with diagnoses that may result in medical emergencies requiring administration of medications in school. With passing of legislation in all 50 states allowing self-administration of emergency medications for allergic reactions and asthma, the landscape of medication use in schools is changing. These changes have raised questions about the need for legislation or policy development relating to self-carrying and self-administration of medications for other disease states, undesignated stock of emergency medications, and administration of medications by non-medical personnel. Medication administration in the school setting has become a complex issue, and this review will discuss current legislation related to medication use in schools and provide best practices for administering medications to children and adolescents while at school.

This paper presents the results of a survey of 30 adults aged 55 and older, who had taken multiple prescription medications in the past two years. The purpose of the study was to determine how older adults manage their medication information currently, what information they save and share, and how they wish to manage medication information in an electronic environment, such as a personal health record. Adults in the survey shared information most frequently with their doctors, and with friends and family. They usually shared basic information about a medication, including its name, dose, and the frequency with which it is taken. Nearly half used an artifact, such as a list, to keep track of and share their information. Nearly a third of participants desired to keep an electronic record, suggesting that a percentage of the older adult population would be open to using electronic records to manage medication information.

The purpose of this quantitative meta-analytic study was to investigate the prescribing medication practices of primary care providers among elderly patients 65 years of age and older. Two statistical analyses were conducted on approximately 3 million geriatric patients in a variety of health care settings throughout the United States. The first meta-analysis involved 26 peer-reviewed studies that compared the prescribing medication practices of primary care providers among geriatric patients in the United States with the prescribing practice recommendations of the Beers Criteria. The second meta-analysis involved 8 peer-reviewed studies that compared the prescribing medication practices in America of physicians who received training in geriatric medicine with physicians who received training in general medicine. The predictor variable (i.e., independent or observed variable) was the prescribing medication practices of primary care providers. The outcome variable (i.e., dependent or expected variable) was the prescribing practice recommended by the Beers Criteria. The third variable was the moderating variable of physician training in geriatric medicine. The first findings revealed that primary care providers in the United States prescribed potentially inappropriate medications to geriatric patients. The second findings indicated that physicians without training in geriatric medicine prescribed more potentially inappropriate medications than those with training in geriatric medicine. Serious health care dilemmas among the geriatric population are high incidences of inappropriate dispensation of prescriptions by primary care providers. Inappropriate prescriptions are common in geriatric clinical settings among primary care providers who function in a fragmented medication prescription system and who lack training in geriatric medicine.

Non-adherence to antidepressant medications is a major barrier to the effective treatment of depression. Healthcare providers are an important point of intervention in addressing adherence-related problems. The objective of the research in this thesis was to explore the potential roles and current practices of healthcare providers in improving antidepressant medication adherence, particularly from a patient-centred approach. Findings from a systematic review highlight the importance of multifaceted interventions involving a collaborative effort from all healthcare providers. In a qualitative study, healthcare providers from various disciplines identified patient education and building partnerships with patients as key approaches to improving antidepressant medication adherence. Although healthcare providers expressed support towards shared decision-making (SDM) in mental healthcare, a number of barriers were perceived to hinder an interprofessional approach to SDM. In addition, a simulated patient study identified areas for improvement in community pharmacists’ practice, including the provision of key educational messages on antidepressant medications and patient-centred communication behaviours. This study also demonstrated the utility of Roter Interaction Analysis Method (RIAS) in analysing brief consultations at community pharmacy counters. The findings gained collectively from this research may inform the development of future adherence interventions that target the improvement of collaborative patient-centred practices in depression care.

Swallowing solid oral medications whole is a daily struggle for people who have swallowing difficulties. In aged care facilities, healthcare workers frequently modify medications for residents, e.g. crush tablets or open capsules, to make the medicines easier to administer, and swallow. These practices are not always safe and can put residents at risk of adverse effects. Through the use of interviews, surveys, and observations, this project investigated barriers and facilitators to giving medicines to aged care residents with swallowing difficulties, and then proposed the design of an intervention program to improve safe medication practices for these residents.

Background: Self-medication with antibiotics is a global phenomenon and potentialcontributor to human pathogen resistance to antibiotics. Amongst Pakistanis, antibioticself-medication rates are high. At present, no data is available on prevalence and practicesof self-medication with antibiotics among Pakistani students abroad. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess prevalence and comparative practices ofPakistani students in Sweden and Finland regarding self-medication with antibiotics. Methods: The study used an anonymous cross-sectional Web-based questionnaire surveywith convenience census sampling targeted to Pakistani students in Sweden and Finland.Questionnaire asking use of antibiotics and six-month recall of antibiotic self-medicationbefore the survey was administered to the 9333 potential respondents. Data was analyzedusing statistical software R version 2.8.1. Descriptive statistic was used to analyze theresults. Associations were tested using Pearson's Chi-squared test. Findings: Response rate was 2.3% after five reminders. Of 213 participants (mean age27.9 years), 151 were from Sweden and 57 were from Finland. One hundred eleven(52.1%) reported antibiotic self-medication in their life time and forty two percent knewthat it could be injurious to health. Sixty-eight participants (31.9%) did self-medicationwith antibiotics during their stay in the study countries and almost all used oral antibiotics.Unrestricted pharmacy sale was the commonest source (37%) of such antibiotics.Common symptoms triggering antibiotic self-medication were respiratory (42.6%) andoro-dental (13.2%). Preferred antibiotics were broad spectrum Penicillin (41.2%),Macrolides (23.5%) and Quinolones (6.2%). Almost all (98.8%) antibiotics for suchmedication were obtained from Pakistan. About 27% reported that they would considerself-medication with antibiotics in future. The most common reason for antibiotic selfmedicationwas affordability of health care consultation and antibiotics (23.9%). Therewas no significant difference between the self-medication practices of participants basedon country of studentship (p=0.6). Self-medication rates were not significantly lower instudents who were aware that it may harm (p=0.2) and is unsafe (p=0.2). Conclusion: High prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics among participants is amatter of concern from individual and public health perspective. There is need to augmentawareness and implement legislations to promote judicious and safe practices. Furtherstudies are needed concerning resistance impact of antibiotic self-medication. Key wards: self-medication, antibiotics, Pakistani students, abroad, practices

Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a novel drug delivery method with potential to dramatically revolutionize clinical approaches of the treatment of many diseases. In fact, MDT has been proposed for ailments ranging from vascular disease to cancer [1, 2]. Conventional drug delivery methods utilize large doses of medication to account for the dispersion of the drug throughout the body in the hope that a sufficient concentration of medicine arrives at the diseased site. Unfortunately, many medications can have caustic effects on healthy systems leaving patients with discomfort, weakened immunity or lowered quality of life. Alternatively, MDT aims to reduce potentially harmful global dosage levels by localizing medication at the diseased site. Additionally, magnetic drug targeting not only reduces chemicals seen by healthy areas of the body, it may provide a higher concentration of drug capable of remaining at the damaged location for a longer duration than typically seen for current treatment practices. Possibly the most important advantage of MDT is the method’s ability to enhance delivery while providing no additional invasive procedures.

Background : Due to the rising healthcare costs around the world, self-medication has become an important option in the management of common conditions. However, the benefits of such selfmedication practices depend upon them being used responsibly. Studies about the prevalence of analgesics use and related factors are limited in Jordan, particularly among refugees which is one of the vulnerable sectors of the population. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and practices of Palestinian refugees in the Al-Baqa’a camp in Jordan regarding the use of analgesics to address any common misuse or misknowledge. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted from 20 October to 10 November 2021. A researcher-developed questionnaire to assess knowledge and practices were used as a tool for studying both interviewer-administered and self-administered survey among 253 adult Palestine refugees at Al Baqa’a refugee camp. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 for descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: A high percentage of the respondents 78.3% reported that they use analgesics as selfmedication. Of these participants, 37.9% reported having a chronic disease, 34.4 % never suffer from pain in the last month, and 33.6% reported that they do not have health insurance. the most commonly used class of drugs was NSAIDs with a frequency of 193 fowled by paracetamol with a frequency of 90. While the most common condition for which the refugees use self-medication is the cost with 168 frequency, In the assessment of participant’s knowledge; analgesics are used to treat minor illnesses by 70%. 94% reported that analgesics can’t be used after their expiry date while 34% reported that analgesics do not have side effects. Final statics will have presented at the conference. Conclusion: Self-medication is widely practiced in Albaq’a refugees camp, although they are familiar with the most important information regarding the risks associated with the use of analgesics. Keywords: over-the-counter , non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Abstract The quality of care provided to citizens by professionals and institutions depends on the quality and availability of information. Early commencement of treatment and medication, and the decisions on how to proceed, depend a lot on patients’ data in the different modalities available. It is also important to notice that large pools of data help inform health and wellbeing parameters for the largest possible community. To make that possible it is necessary both to have the best hospital practices but also to get consent and collaboration from patients. In order to accomplish such a goal, it is necessary to use practices, which adhere to legal constraints and are transparent while handling data and also to transmit those practices and protocols to professionals and patients. The present document aims to provide a framework envisaging the seamless application of the clinical procedures, following legal guidance and making the process known, secure and trustworthy. It aims to contribute to clinical practice, and clinical research, thereby contributing to big data analysis by ensuring trust and best clinical data handling.

This project focuses on the exploration of an architectural visualisation virtual reality (VR) prototyping and creative thinking process with the use of consumer accessible electroencephalogram (EEG). Architectural visualisation with engaging interactive user experience is an area which requires careful considerations during the design and construction process of the VR content, which aims to promote intuitive exploration of the simulated virtual environment. This study involves the collaboration between several architecture designers and virtual reality researchers, which forms a multidisciplinary research looking at the investigation of EEG impact for architectural visualisation content creation - autoethnography prompted a selfreflective approach to building knowledge during the research and construction phase, ensuing personal growth by the conclusion of the project. VR can be a powerful form of communication for informational materials, visually, only if content can be made easily accessible; this makes digital travel to unique locations easier for the presentation of architectural aspects to the general audience for the purpose of encouraging movement in the virtual space. Consumer grade EEG devices are now commonly available for the purpose of medication, mindfulness, and stress management; therefore, we explore the possibility of using such a device as a dynamic/real-time self-reflection tool for a designer during a creation process of crafting the virtual environment for architectural visualisation. In this research we describe the case study, a practice-based creative prototype, initial EEG data and documentation, and the directions for future work.

Consumable products such as medications rely on the package or label to represent the contents. Package confusion has been widely recognized as a major problem for both over-the-counter and pharmacy-dispensed medications with potentially lethal consequences. It is critical to identify a medication as a member of a product family and differentiate its contributing elements based on visual features on the package or label. Indices that indicate degrees of commonality and differentiation of features for platforms have been shown to benefit development of engineered product families. It is possible to take a similar approach for visual features in packaging such as typography, shape/form, imagery and color. This paper establishes a commonality/differentiation index for prominence of visual features on over-the-counter and pharmacy-dispensed medications based on size and location of features. It provides a quantitative measure to assist package designers in evaluating alternatives to satisfy strategic goals and improve safety. The index is demonstrated with several medications that have been identified by the Institute for Safe Medication Practice as commonly confused.

Background. Unhealthy alcohol use is the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States, accounting for more than 140,000 deaths annually. Only 0.9 percent of Americans who reported having alcohol use disorder (AUD) in the past year indicated they received medication-assisted AUD treatment. Methods. We updated a 2014 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) report on pharmacotherapy for AUD treatment, following AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Center Guidance. We assessed efficacy and comparative effectiveness of specific medications for improving consumption outcomes (Key Question [KQ] 1) and health outcomes (KQ 2). We assessed harms (KQ 3) and sought to identify evidence for the use of pharmacotherapy to treat AUD in primary care (KQ 4) and among subgroups (KQ 5). When possible, we conducted quantitative analyses using random-effects models to estimate pooled effects. When quantitative analyses could not be conducted, we used qualitative approaches. Results. We included 118 studies (156 articles) in our review, which included 81 studies (106 articles) from the 2014 review and 37 studies (50 articles) published since then. Studies generally included counseling co-interventions in all study groups, and the benefits observed reflect the added benefit of medications beyond those of counseling and placebo. Oral naltrexone at the 50 mg dosage had moderate strength of evidence (SOE) for reducing return to any drinking, return to heavy drinking, percent drinking days, and percent heavy drinking days. The addition of a new randomized controlled trial of injectable naltrexone conducted in a population experiencing homelessness resulted in positive outcomes for a reduction in drinking days and heavy drinking days with low SOE. Acamprosate had moderate SOE for a significant reduction in return to any drinking and reduction in drinking days. Topiramate had moderate SOE for several outcomes as well, but with greater side effects. Two other medications demonstrated low SOE for benefit in at least one consumption outcome—baclofen (reduced return to any drinking) and gabapentin (reduced return to drinking and to heavy drinking). With no new studies on disulfiram, there remains inadequate evidence for efficacy compared to placebo for preventing return to any drinking or for other alcohol consumption outcomes. No new eligible studies provided head-to-head comparisons. Conclusions. Oral naltrexone at the 50 mg dose had moderate strength of evidence across multiple outcomes and relative ease of use as a once-daily oral medication. Acamprosate and topiramate also have moderate evidence of benefit with a less desirable side effect profile (topiramate) and a higher pill burden (acamprosate). Clinicians and patients may want to consider which treatment outcomes are most important when choosing among the medications. Current data are largely insufficient for understanding health outcomes. Finally, there is relatively little research to assess the use of medications for AUD among subgroups (9 studies) or in primary care settings (1 study).

Childhood asthma is a significant public health problem in the United States. Barriers to effective asthma management in children include the need for caregivers to identify and manage diverse environmental triggers and promote appropriate use of preventive asthma medications. Although health care providers may introduce asthma treatments and care plans, many providers lack the time and capacity to educate caregivers about asthma in an ongoing, sustained manner. To help address these complexities of asthma care, many providers and caregivers rely on patient navigators (defined as persons who provide patients with a particular set of services and who address barriers to care) (Dohan & Schrag, 2005). Despite growing interest in their value for chronic disease management, researchers and providers know little about how or what benefits patient navigators can provide to caregivers in managing asthma in children. To explore this issue, we conducted a mixed-method evaluation involving focus groups and a survey with caregivers of children with moderate-to-severe asthma who were enrolled in the Merck Childhood Asthma Network Initiative (MCAN). Findings suggest that patient navigators may support children’s asthma management by providing individualized treatment plans and hands-on practice, improving caregivers’ understanding of environmental triggers and their mitigation, and giving clear, accessible instructions for proper medication management. Study results may help to clarify and further develop the role of patient navigators for the effective management of asthma in children.

Objectives. To review the evidence on harms associated with patient-clinician real time encounters using video-based telehealth and determine the effectiveness of any related patient safety practices (PSPs). PSPs are interventions, strategies, or approaches intended to prevent or mitigate unintended consequences of healthcare delivery and improve patient safety. This review provides information that clinicians and health system leaders need to determine how to minimize harms from increasing real-time use of telehealth. Methods. We followed rapid review processes of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center Program. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane to identify eligible studies published from 2012 to 2022, supplemented by a search for unpublished evaluations and white papers. Outcomes of interest included: adverse events (any harm to patients due to medical care), other specified harms (i.e., preventable hospitalizations, inappropriate treatment, missed or delayed diagnoses, duplication of services, privacy breaches), and implementation factors for any PSPs. Findings. Our search retrieved 7,155 citations, of which 23 studies (including 6 randomized controlled trials [RCTs]) were eligible for review. Fourteen studies reported on adverse events or unintended effects of telehealth; these studies were conducted in diverse settings, with four studies in behavioral health, two each in rehabilitation, transplant, and Parkinson’s care, and one each in postoperative, termination of pregnancy, community health, and hospital-at-home settings. Adverse events such as death, reoperation, infection, or major complications were infrequent in both telehealth and usual care groups, making it difficult to find statistically significant differences. One RCT found telehealth resulted in fewer medication errors than standard care. Thirteen studies examined preventable hospitalizations or emergency department (ED) visits and reported mixed findings; six of these studies were in postoperative care and two were in urological care. Of the 6 RCTs, 3 showed no difference in risk of hospitalization or ED visits for telehealth compared to usual care, and 3 showed reduced risk for patients receiving telehealth. We found no studies on the effectiveness of PSPs in reducing harms associated with real-time telehealth. Conclusions. Studies have evaluated the frequency and severity of harms associated with real-time video-based telehealth encounters between clinicians and patients, examining a variety of patient safety measures. Telehealth was not inferior to usual care in terms of hospitalizations or ED visits. No studies evaluated a specific PSP. More research is needed to improve understanding of harms associated with real-time use of telehealth and how to prevent or mitigate those harms.

Background: Criteria Led Discharge (CLD) is advocated globally as a way of improving patient flow in hospital by bringing forward the time of patient discharge. Problem: Complexities regarding the heterogeneity of patient conditions have inhibited development of CLD in acute medicine. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was operational for CLD although this had not been introduced in practice within acute medicine. Approach: Prospective observation of the CLD procedure in practice through testing which included; staff involvement, development of supporting tools, interrogation of patient clinical criteria and staff feedback. Design, data collection and analysis were undertaken using the Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to reveal contradictions to the SOP in acute medicine. Outcomes: Common and special cause contradictions to the SOP were revealed namely; delay in writing discharge medications / GP letters and nurses being unable to routinely participate in the patient clinical reviews. Staff were engaged with usual discharge practices, which effectively isolated them from agreed activities to support CLD. Conclusion: activities within the SOP need to be routinely and systematically supported in order for the CLD SOP to be successfully implemented in acute medicine. Oversight and continuity from acute medicine consultant team is also essential.

Objectives. To assess the evidence on the effects of computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) on the prevention of medication errors and adverse drug events, related implementation outcomes such as rates of medication alert overrides, and unintended consequences of use. We also summarized the literature around the effective implementation of a CDSS. Methods. We followed the rapid review processes of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center Program. We queried PubMed and the Cochrane Library to locate relevant systematic reviews and primary studies published from 2015 to April 2023, supplemented by a targeted review of the grey literature. We narratively synthesized the evidence and assessed the overall strength of evidence for the outcomes of interest. The protocol for the review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023449710). Findings. Our search yielded 1,335 unique abstracts, of which 33 articles met the target criteria and were included in the review (27 systematic reviews, one overview of reviews, and five primary studies). Twenty reviews (out of 22) reporting on effectiveness were rated “good” or “fair” quality. One primary study included in the narrative synthesis was rated as having a “low” risk of bias. The evidence covered the effects of CDSSs across various healthcare settings and specialties. The type of decision support provided by the CDSSs and outcomes were heterogeneous between studies. Overall, computerized provider order entry with medication-related CDSSs were associated with reduced medication errors (moderate strength of evidence) and prevention of adverse drug events (low strength of evidence). Improved or targeted medication-related CDSSs were associated with reductions of medication errors and adverse drug events (moderate strength of evidence). However, alert override rates were high and varied between studies, and the appropriateness of the overrides was largely influenced by the type of alert. Other unintended consequences included CDSS-related errors, overdependence on alerts, alert fatigue, inappropriate alert overrides, and provider burnout. An additional 48 articles focused on barriers and facilitators of CDSS implementation. 2 Making Healthcare Safer IV – Computerized Clinical Decision Support Conclusions. Overall, CDSSs reduce medication errors and adverse drug events, with moderate- and low-certainty evidence, respectively. However, there were several unintended consequences of CDSS implementation and use. The evidence of benefits and harms was generally reported in different studies with varying contexts, making the net benefit difficult to estimate. Future research should focus on measuring these outcomes and unintended consequences in the same study to generate evidence on both the benefits and harms associated with using a CDSS in the same context.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by divergent clinical symptoms and prognosis, suggesting the presence of distinct subtypes. Identifying these subtypes is crucial for understanding the underlying pathophysiology, predicting disease progression, and developing personalized treatments. In this study, we propose a connectivity-based subtyping approach, which measures each patient's deviation from the reference structural covariance networks established in healthy controls. Using data from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative, we identified two distinct subtypes of de novo PD patients: 248 patients with typical cortical-striato-thalamic dysfunctions and 41 patients showing weakened dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN)-to-cortical/striatal projections. The proposed subtyping approach demonstrated high stability in terms of random sampling of healthy or diseased population and longitudinal prediction at follow-up visits, outperforming the traditional motor phenotypes. Compared to the typical PD, patients with the DRN-predominant subtype were characterized by less server motor symptoms at baseline and distinct imaging biomarkers, including larger striatal volumes, higher concentration of cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β and amyloid-β/t(p)-tau ratio. Subtype-specific associations and drug effects were identified that the DRN subtype exhibited more pronounced medication effects on motor symptoms, potentially regulated by DRN serotonergic modulation through striatal dopaminergic neurons. The DRN serotonergic inputs also regulated non-motor symptoms, the aggregation of CSF biomarkers and the conversion to more severe disease states. Our findings suggest that the DRN-predominant subtype represents a unique clinical and biological phenotype of PD characterized by an enhanced response to anti-parkinsonian treatment, more favorable prognosis and slower progression of dopamine depletion. This study may contribute to clinical practice of precision medicine, early invention and individualized treatments in PD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The discussion paper presents a summary of health specialist concerns, followed by a summary of concerns for those working on indigenous peoples' issues. The final section attempts to highlight areas of agreement and define questions for debate. In each section, the reader is encouraged to consider at least three levels of analysis: the conceptual framework, the implicit priority setting mechanisms, and technical proposals. Furthermore, it is important to keep in mind at least three different kinds of "health programs": those that aim to make "Western Medicine" available for indigenous peoples; those that aim to support and promote "Indigenous Medicine" (including medications and medical practices); and those that seek to integrate the two.

Review question / Objective: Epidural injection (EI) has been used to manage lower back or radicular leg pain from herniation of lumbar disc (HLD). Three types of EI techniques, including transforaminal (TFEI) interlaminar (ILEI), and caudal epidural injections (CEI), are being applied. We aimed to evaluate the comparative effect of TFESI, ILEI, and CEI for reducing pain or improving function in patients with HLD. Condition being studied: For controlling inflammation by the HLD, various oral medications and procedures are used. Among these therapeutic methods, EI of the drugs is frequently used in clinical practice. Its positive HLD-induced pain reducing effect was reported in several previous studies. Three types of techniques, including TFEI, ILEI, and CEI, have been utilized in clinical practice. conflicting outcomes as to which technique is superior were reported in previous studies. So far, some meta-analysis studies for comparing the effects of different EI techniques on HLD were conducted. However, these previous studies conducted comparison between two procedures among TFEI, ILEI, and CEI. In the current study, using network meta-analysis, we synthesize and compare the effects of TFEI, ILEI, and CEI on pain from HLD, together.
