Atypical HUS: time to take stock of current guidelines and outcome measures?

    European guidelines for the assessment and management of atypical HUS were written in 2009. Since then our understanding of this group of diseases has advanced. Evidence is emerging that eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibiting C5 activation, is effective, and potentially superior to current treatment with plasmapheresis. The evidence base for the benefits of plasmapheresis consists of case series and small reports. Before we embark on a change of management policy it is vital that we set up a system for genetic diagnosis, standardised protocols and a means to collect predetermined outcome measures, so that we do not make the same mistakes with assessment of the effectiveness of eculizumab as we did for plasmapheresis.

    Guidelines for Writing Outcome

    When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
    Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

    Drug Therapy

    The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

    Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

    Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
    Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
