Psychosurgery01:30

Psychosurgery

760
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.5K
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors01:29

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

126
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Therapeutic Index01:13

Therapeutic Index

6.3K
The therapeutic index of a drug is a key parameter in pharmacology that quantifies the relative safety of a drug by calculating the ratio between the dose that causes toxicity in half the population (50%) to the dose that proves to be effective for half the population (50%). It provides a spectrum of doses for a particular drug ranging from effective to potentially toxic. To illustrate, consider an anticoagulant agent like warfarin. It possesses a narrow window within its therapeutic index to...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

200
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that measures specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals to ensure the drug concentration stays within a therapeutic range. This monitoring is crucial for optimizing individual dosage regimens, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing drug-related toxicity. TDM is vital for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, significant variability in pharmacokinetics, and a clear correlation between plasma levels and...

    Summary

    Suicide prevention efforts often neglect postvention planning. This study extends therapeutic risk management to support suicide loss survivors and providers, offering recommendations for enhanced postvention practices.

    Area of Science:

    • Mental Health
    • Psychiatry
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Suicide prevention dialogues predominantly focus on assessment, management, and intervention.
    • Postvention planning for patient suicide is frequently overlooked, impacting providers and survivors.
    • Suicide loss has a widespread impact, yet postvention education remains limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend the therapeutic risk management model to suicide postvention.
    • To address the needs of suicide loss survivors and healthcare providers.
    • To enhance awareness and practices related to suicide postvention.

    Main Methods:

    • Reviewing the impact of suicide loss.
    • Identifying gaps in postvention education and awareness.
