Facilitated Transport01:19

Facilitated Transport

151.4K
The chemical and physical properties of plasma membranes cause them to be selectively permeable. Since plasma membranes have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, substances need to be able to transverse both regions. The hydrophobic area of membranes repels substances such as charged ions. Therefore, such substances need special membrane proteins to cross a membrane successfully. In  facilitated transport, also known as facilitated diffusion, molecules and ions travel across a...

Inhaled Medications01:23

Inhaled Medications

829
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...

Primary Active Transport01:47

Primary Active Transport

200.9K
In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. Primary active transport utilizes chemical energy from ATP to drive protein pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane. With energy from ATP, the pumps transport ions against their electrochemical gradients—a direction...

Secondary Active Transport01:55

Secondary Active Transport

138.2K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Regulated mRNA Transport02:22

Regulated mRNA Transport

7.0K
In eukaryotes, transcription and translation are compartmentalized; an mRNA is first synthesized in the nucleus and then selectively transported to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Before transport, a pre-mRNA undergoes several steps of post-transcriptional modifications including splicing, 5' capping, and the addition of a poly-adenine tail. Various proteins bind to the pre-mRNA during these modifications. The mRNA transport takes place with the help of multiple proteins playing...

Phloem and Sugar Transport02:02

Phloem and Sugar Transport

40.1K
Like many living organisms, plants have tissues that specialize in specific plant functions. For example, shoots are well adapted to rapid growth, while roots are structured to acquire resources efficiently. However, sugar production is primarily restricted to the photosynthetic cells that reside in the leaves of angiosperm plants. Sugar and other resources are transported from photosynthetic tissues to other specialized tissues by a process called translocation.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Primary medication nonadherence (PMN) is higher in areas with greater poverty and less vehicle access. These factors significantly impact prescription filling rates, highlighting disparities in healthcare access.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Primary medication nonadherence (PMN) contributes to health disparities and equity gaps.
  • Understanding geographic variations in PMN is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate PMN within a metropolitan area.
  • To assess the relationship between PMN and zip code-level socioeconomic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational study of 213,719 prescriptions from October 2016 to April 2017.
  • Linked patient zip codes to US Census data on poverty and vehicle access.
  • Analyzed prescription-level and ecological-level PMN rates.

Main Results:

  • 12.2% of prescriptions were not filled within 30 days.
  • Higher poverty and lower vehicle access were significantly associated with increased PMN.
  • Graded relationships observed between PMN rates and poverty/vehicle access across all medication classes.

Conclusions:

  • Poverty and vehicle access are significant predictors of PMN at both individual and community levels.
  • Pharmacists and pharmacies play a vital role in addressing population health and medication adherence.
