Automated Microbial Diagnostics01:24

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

40
Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I01:22

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I

102
Rate-programmed drug delivery systems (DDS) are designed to release drugs at specific, controlled rates to maintain consistent therapeutic levels. These systems are categorized based on their release mechanisms, including dissolution-controlled DDS, diffusion-controlled DDS, and combined dissolution-diffusion-controlled DDS.In dissolution-controlled DDS, the release rate depends on the slow dissolution of the drug itself or the surrounding matrix. Drugs with inherently slow dissolution rates,...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed II

89
Rate-programmed drug delivery systems release drugs in a controlled manner to maintain therapeutic levels. Three main designs include reservoir, matrix, and hybrid systems.Reservoir systems consist of a drug core enclosed within a membrane that controls drug release. In non-swelling reservoir systems, polymers like ethyl cellulose or polymethacrylates are used. These do not hydrate in aqueous media and control release through membrane thickness, porosity, or insolubility. This type includes...

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution01:25

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution

8.0K
The volume of distribution refers to the theoretical volume necessary to contain the entire amount of an administered drug at the same concentration observed in the blood plasma. The body's intracellular fluid compartment, which makes up two-thirds of the total body water, is contrasted with the extracellular fluid compartment—comprising plasma and interstitial fluid—that accounts for one-third. The volume of distribution can vary depending on the characteristics of the drug.

Parenteral Drug Delivery Systems: Injectables, Implants, and Infusion Devices

119
Parenteral drug delivery systems play a crucial role in modern therapeutics by enabling the direct administration of drugs into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. These systems are particularly valuable for poorly absorbed oral medications that are unstable in the digestive environment or require rapid onset or sustained therapeutic levels. Delivery is achieved through intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes, each selected based on the drug's properties...

Distribution Reliability and Automation01:25

Distribution Reliability and Automation

610
Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Operations
  • Healthcare Logistics
  • Inventory Management Systems

Background:

  • Automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs) are crucial for pharmacy distribution but face challenges in optimizing inventory.
  • Efficiently managing ADC inventory is vital to minimize labor and capital resource utilization.
  • The impact of enhanced inventory control on ADC performance requires further definition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) inventory management.
  • To implement dynamic inventory standards and a low inventory alert platform.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving two intervention groups and one historical control group using 12 ADCs.
  • Interventions included dynamic inventory standards and a low inventory alert system.
  • Outcome measures focused on stockout frequency/duration, inventory turns, and related pharmacy calls.

Main Results:

  • Low inventory alerts significantly reduced the number and duration of stockouts.
  • Dynamic inventory standards decreased daily stockouts without altering inventory turns or stockout duration.
  • No significant change was observed in the number of stockout-related calls to pharmacy staff.

Conclusions:

  • Low inventory alerts and dynamic inventory standards are practical solutions for optimizing ADC inventory management.
  • These methods help minimize both labor and capital resource requirements in pharmacy operations.
