Summary
As the geriatric population grows, dental professionals increasingly see patients on multiple medications. This study created a system to extract medication data from electronic dental records, showing patient medication counts.
Area of Science:
- Geriatric Medicine
- Dental Informatics
Background:
- The aging global population presents unique challenges in healthcare.
- Older adults often manage multiple chronic conditions (comorbidities) requiring polypharmacy.
- Dental care professionals encounter patients on numerous medications affecting oral health outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an automated system for extracting medication information from electronic dental records (EDRs).
- To analyze the distribution of patients based on the number of medications they are prescribed.
- To support better clinical decision-making in geriatric dental care.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a data extraction system tailored for EDRs.
- Analysis of extracted medication data to categorize patients by medication count.
- System validation for accuracy in identifying and quantifying patient medications.
Main Results:
- Successful development of a system capable of extracting medication data from EDRs.
- Characterization of patient populations by the quantity of prescribed medications.
- Identification of patient cohorts with high medication burdens.
Conclusions:
- The developed system effectively extracts crucial medication information from EDRs.
- Understanding patient medication counts is vital for geriatric dental practice.
- This tool can enhance patient safety and care coordination in dentistry.

5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:24Electron Carriers
92.2K
Electron carriers can be thought of as electron shuttles. These compounds can easily accept electrons (i.e., be reduced) or lose them (i.e., be oxidized). They play an essential role in energy production because cellular respiration is contingent on the flow of electrons.
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...

The final stage of cellular respiration is oxidative phosphorylation that consists of two steps: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. The electron transport chain is a set of proteins found in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells. Its primary function is to establish a proton gradient that can be used during chemiosmosis to produce ATP and generate electron carriers, such as NAD+ and FAD, that are used in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Overview
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the...
