Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.3K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Clinical Trials

10.8K
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Clinical Trials: Overview

5.0K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.7K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health
  • Cannabinoid Medicine

Background:

  • Cannabis is the most frequently used illicit substance globally, with increasing user prevalence.
  • Significant global shifts in recreational and therapeutic cannabis use over two decades.
  • Decreased perception of cannabis-related risks may be linked to increased usage and therapeutic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight clinical considerations for prescribing medicinal cannabinoids.
  • To synthesize evidence from recreational and medicinal cannabis use.
  • To identify potential risks associated with therapeutic cannabinoid use.

Main Methods:

  • Review of research evidence on recreational cannabis use.
  • Analysis of emerging data from medicinal cannabis trials.
  • Identification of clinical domains requiring specific attention for prescribing.

Main Results:

  • Cannabis use, even for therapeutic purposes, is associated with potential harms.
  • Prescribing medicinal cannabinoids necessitates careful evaluation of usage patterns.
  • Evidence suggests a need for specific clinical guidelines for medicinal cannabis.

Conclusions:

  • Medicinal cannabis is not without risks and requires careful patient management.
  • Understanding recreational use patterns informs safe medicinal cannabinoid prescribing.
  • Further research and clinical guidelines are needed for safe and effective medicinal cannabis use.
