Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.0K
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...

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

2.7K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

187
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles

2.3K
Pharmacodynamics is a scientific field that delves into drugs' intricate biochemical, cellular, and physiological effects on the human body. The study of pharmacodynamics helps us understand how drugs interact with the body and elicit various responses.
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

822
Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Pharmacokinetics: Overview01:10

Pharmacokinetics: Overview

7.5K
Pharmacokinetics is a scientific discipline that focuses on the journey of a drug within the body, encompassing four key stages: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The first stage, absorption, involves the drug's transfer into the bloodstream. Several factors dictate the extent and speed of this process. For example, the liver often metabolizes oral drugs before they reach systemic circulation, leading to only partial absorption. In contrast, intravenous (IV)...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Systematic reviews are citing retracted pharmacy publications, often before the retraction is known. Most retractions were due to data falsification or ethical misconduct, highlighting the need for greater transparency in scientific publishing.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Research
  • Bibliometrics
  • Scientific Integrity

Background:

  • Retracted publications are increasingly being incorporated into systematic reviews and evidence syntheses.
  • This issue poses a significant challenge to the reliability of high-level evidence in the scientific literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the use of retracted publications within the pharmacy field.
  • To describe the characteristics of retracted publications cited in systematic reviews.
  • To identify factors influencing the likelihood of citing retracted publications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Retraction Watch data to identify retracted pharmacy publications.
  • Searched Web of Science and Scopus for systematic reviews citing these retracted articles.
  • Classified retraction reasons, citation timing (pre- or post-retraction), and analyzed citation likelihood factors.

Main Results:

  • Of 1,396 retracted pharmacy publications, 283 were cited 1,096 times in systematic reviews.
  • The majority of citations (65.0%) occurred before the retraction was published.
  • Common retraction reasons included data falsification/manipulation (39.2%) and ethical misconduct/plagiarism (30.4%).
  • Cited retracted publications were more likely to be retracted for data falsification, published in high-impact journals, and had longer publication-to-retraction delays.

Conclusions:

  • Further investigation is required to ascertain the impact of citing flawed data from retracted publications.
  • Librarians play a crucial role in promoting transparency and addressing challenges associated with retractions in scientific literature.
