Summary
The Formulary Monograph Service provides monthly drug monographs and utilization evaluations for Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committees. This service aids in informed drug selection and safe medication use for healthcare facilities.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacology
- Drug Information
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committees require timely drug information.
- New drug approvals and late-stage trials necessitate comprehensive evaluations.
- Effective drug utilization is crucial for patient safety and cost management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide subscribers with detailed monographs on new and emerging drugs.
- To offer concise summaries for pharmacy and nursing in-services.
- To deliver comprehensive drug utilization/medication use evaluations (DUE/MUE).
Main Methods:
- Monthly delivery of 5-6 detailed drug monographs.
- Inclusion of 1-page summary monographs for quick reference.
- Publication of a comprehensive monthly DUE/MUE.
- Availability of print and online access to all materials.
- Customization options for facility-specific needs.
Main Results:
- Subscribers receive in-depth information on newly released drugs and those in late-stage trials.
- Monthly DUE/MUE focuses on specific drug agents, such as conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene.
- Content is designed to support formulary decisions and medication use reviews.
- January 2014 topics included obinutuzumab, anti-inhibitor coagulant complex, macitentan, riociguat, and conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene.
Conclusions:
- The Formulary Monograph Service is a valuable resource for healthcare facilities.
- The service supports evidence-based formulary management and medication safety.
- Regular updates and evaluations facilitate informed clinical decision-making.

01:27Glucose Transporters
15.2K
Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of glucose across the cell membrane. In addition to glucose, some glucose transporters can also aid the movement of other hexoses such as fructose, mannose, and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:

01:25Carbohydrate Absorption
12.8K
Carbohydrates are essential macronutrients that serve as the body's primary energy source. Their digestion begins in the mouth, where salivary amylase partially breaks down complex carbohydrates such as starch into smaller oligosaccharides. This mechanical and enzymatic activity prepares carbohydrates for further processing in the gastrointestinal tract.
After being swallowed, the partially digested carbohydrates mix with gastric secretions in the stomach. However, the acidic environment...

00:57Carbohydrate Digestion
97.2K
Carbohydrate digestion and metabolism break down simple and complex carbohydrates from food into saccharides (i.e., sugars) for the body to use as energy. Carbohydrate digestion starts in the mouth during mastication, or chewing. The masticated carbohydrates remain intact in the stomach. Digestion resumes in the duodenum of the small intestine, where pancreatic alpha-amylase and brush border enzymes of the microvilli convert complex carbohydrates to monosaccharides. Finally, the monosaccharides...

01:35Loss of Carboxy Group as CO2: Decarboxylation of Malonic Acid Derivatives
1.8K
Just like β-keto acids—which upon thermal decarboxylation form ketones—β-dicarboxylic acids undergo decarboxylation to generate monocarboxylic acids with the liberation of carbon dioxide.

01:19Overview of Carbohydrate Metabolism
4.5K
Carbohydrate metabolism is a fundamental biochemical process that ensures a constant supply of energy to living cells. The most important carbohydrate is glucose, which can be broken down via glycolysis to enter into the Krebs cycle and eventually lead to the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

01:19Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: α-Glucosidase Inhibitors
953
α-glucosidase inhibitors, including acarbose (Precose), miglitol (Glyset), and voglibose (Voglib) (primarily available in Asia), are drugs that control blood sugar levels by delaying the digestion of starch and disaccharides. They achieve this by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzymes in the intestine, which slow the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, which in turn leads to a prolonged release of the glucoregulatory hormone GLP-1 from intestinal L-cells.
