Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

1.1K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants01:23

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants

1.5K

Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...

Targets for Drug Action: Overview01:26

Targets for Drug Action: Overview

7.2K
Drugs target macromolecules to modify ongoing cellular processes. Primary drug targets include receptors, ion channels, transporters, and enzymes.
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

665
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...

Cholinergic Receptors: Nicotinic01:15

Cholinergic Receptors: Nicotinic

3.2K
Nicotinic receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that are activated by acetylcholine and nicotine. Upon activation, they cause a rapid increase in the permeability of cells to K+, Na+, and Ca2+, followed by depolarization and excitation. They are in the autonomic ganglia, skeletal neuromuscular junction, CNS, and adrenal medulla.
There are two types of nicotinic receptors: neuromuscular (NM/NM/N1) and neuronal (NN/NN/N2). The two families differ based on their location and selectivity to...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tobacco use remains a significant global health issue, causing over 8 million deaths annually.
  • Digital interventions, including text messaging, have demonstrated effectiveness in aiding smoking cessation.
  • Chatbots, or conversational agents, offer a novel digital tool with the potential to enhance smoking cessation support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of research on chatbots for smoking cessation.
  • To assess the current landscape of chatbot interventions for tobacco smokers.
  • To provide recommendations for future research directions in this field.

Main Methods:

  • Searched multiple databases (Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Google Scholar) and specialized digital health libraries.
  • Included studies published between 2000 and 2021, focusing on tobacco smokers using chatbot interventions.
  • Identified 10 relevant studies, including framework articles, protocols, pilot studies, trials, and randomized controlled trials.

Main Results:

  • Most reviewed studies indicated potential benefits of chatbots for smoking cessation and user engagement.
  • Significant variability was observed in the outcome measures used across studies.
  • The overall quality of the included studies was low, citing methodological weaknesses and poor follow-up rates.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is essential to establish the definitive efficacy of chatbots for smoking cessation.
  • Future studies should provide detailed descriptions of chatbot functionality, delivery methods, and theoretical foundations.
  • Standardizing language and terminology is crucial for consistent evaluation of chatbot interventions in smoking cessation research.
