Insights

This review highlights the top 10 infectious diseases (ID) pharmacotherapy articles from 2018, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) research. It aids clinicians in staying current with crucial advancements in antimicrobial stewardship and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacotherapy
  • Antimicrobial Stewardship

Background:

  • The volume of infectious diseases (ID) literature is expanding rapidly.
  • Antimicrobial resistance and stewardship initiatives present ongoing challenges for clinicians.
  • Staying abreast of the latest ID pharmacotherapy research is difficult.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and summarize the top 10 most influential peer-reviewed infectious diseases pharmacotherapy articles from 2018.
  • To include significant publications related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pharmacotherapy.
  • To assist clinicians in staying informed about key developments in the field.

Main Methods:

  • Members of the Houston Infectious Diseases Network (HIDN) nominated 26 articles (22 general ID, 4 HIV).
  • A survey was distributed to members of the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP).
  • Respondents voted for their top 10 general ID and 1 HIV publication.

Main Results:

  • 213 out of 462 (46%) members voted on general ID pharmacotherapy articles.
  • 108 out of 462 (23%) members voted on HIV-related articles.
  • The top-voted articles in both categories are summarized in this review.

Conclusions:

  • This review provides a curated summary of significant 2018 ID pharmacotherapy publications.
  • It aims to help clinicians navigate the extensive literature and stay updated.
  • The findings support ongoing antimicrobial stewardship efforts and awareness of new agents.

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy

The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.
Insulin remains the cornerstone of treatment for most patients with type 1 and many...

Levels of Communication II: Organizational, Public, and Group Dynamics

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...
