Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.3K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.3K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview01:15

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

4.6K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters01:01

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters

242
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.2K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

335
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Online health information seeking heavily relies on general search engines.
  • Current search interfaces often lack adequate support for non-experts identifying reliable health information.
  • Emerging search tools in popular engines offer potential for improved user support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how search tools can support non-expert, patient-centered health information search.
  • To investigate the design of patient-centered, medication-information search tools.
  • To identify key principles for designing effective health information search tools for patients.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a formative study involving qualitative interviews with patients, family members, and domain experts.
  • Observed participants using Remedy, a technology probe with specialized search tools.
  • Focused on medication-related search tasks for post-operative cardiothoracic surgery patients and their families.

Main Results:

  • Findings highlight the importance of four valuation principles for medication search tools: credibility, readability, consumer perspective, and topical relevance.
  • Patient and family user experiences provided insights into desired search tool functionalities.
  • Domain expert feedback offered recommendations for enhancing search tool design.

Conclusions:

  • Patient-centered design is crucial for developing effective online health information search tools.
  • Search tools should prioritize credibility, readability, consumer perspective, and topical relevance.
  • Further development of specialized search interfaces can improve non-expert access to reliable health information.
