Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

15
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

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

20
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption

323
Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

284
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution

335
Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight,...

Summary

Pharmacy students showed increased knowledge and perceived importance of immunizations after training. However, fears regarding needle injections and beliefs about mandatory vaccination remained largely unchanged.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Immunization Training
  • Public Health

Background:

  • First-year pharmacy students' understanding and attitudes towards immunizations are crucial for public health.
  • Pre-existing knowledge gaps and apprehensions can impact future healthcare provider practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in first-year pharmacy students' knowledge, perceived importance, and apprehension regarding immunizations.
  • To evaluate the impact of a specific immunization education and training course.

Main Methods:

  • A pre- and post-course questionnaire was administered to first-year pharmacy students.
  • Assessed knowledge, perceived importance, and apprehension related to various immunizations (e.g., Hepatitis B, Influenza, MMR, Tdap, HPV).
  • Evaluated fears concerning needle administration, safety, and efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Mean knowledge scores significantly increased from 56% to 83% post-course.
  • Perceived importance of immunizations rose from 73% to 94%.
  • Apprehension about administering injections decreased from 52% to 33%, but fears of receiving injections persisted for most students.
  • Beliefs on mandatory vaccination remained largely unchanged (49% pre-course vs. 44% post-course).

Conclusions:

  • The immunization course effectively enhanced student knowledge and perceived importance of vaccines.
  • Significant apprehension regarding needle injections persisted among students, both for administering and receiving them.
  • Attitudes towards mandatory vaccination were not substantially altered by the training.
