Crossover Experiments01:16

Crossover Experiments

2.9K
Crossover experiments, also called the repeated-measurements design, is a study design in which all experimental units are exposed to all treatments in different periods. Crossover experiments are generally used in psychology, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and medicine.
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview01:26

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

564
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...

Three-Compartment Open Model01:06

Three-Compartment Open Model

294
The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...

Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

4.5K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Two-Compartment Open Model: Extravascular Administration01:12

Two-Compartment Open Model: Extravascular Administration

243
The two-compartment model for extravascular administration represents a drug's absorption and distribution process. It features a central compartment, where the drug is first absorbed, and a peripheral compartment, which illustrates the drug's distribution throughout the body. The rate of change in drug concentration in the central compartment is calculated by three exponents: absorption, distribution, and elimination.
The absorption exponent (ka) indicates the speed at which the drug...

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro01:16

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro

263
In vitro experiments are crucial for understanding the transport and absorption of drugs through biological materials. These studies employ varied methods such as the diffusion cell method, the everted sac technique, and the everted ring technique.
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice and Education
  • Healthcare Professions Analysis
  • Comparative Healthcare Systems

Background:

  • The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree became the entry-level requirement for pharmacy practice in the United States in 2000.
  • Over two decades later, a comprehensive review of the PharmD's impact and the pharmacy profession's evolution is necessary.
  • Key considerations include the growing diversity within pharmacy and the expanding range of practice settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically re-examine the outcomes and trajectory of the pharmacy profession since the adoption of the entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree.
  • To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the current entry-level PharmD model.
  • To explore the future direction of pharmacy practice, informed by current trends and comparative models.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of the impact of the entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree.
  • Comparative case study contrasting pharmacy education and practice with nursing.
  • Review of trends in pharmacy diversity and practice types.

Main Results:

  • The transition to an entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree necessitates a re-evaluation of its long-term effects.
  • Pharmacy's increasing diversity and varied practice types require careful consideration in future planning.
  • Nursing serves as a contrasting model with its tiered educational and practice structure.

Conclusions:

  • Intentional and critical appraisal of the entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) is warranted.
  • The future of pharmacy practice requires strategic planning that addresses educational outcomes and professional development.
  • Comparative analysis with professions like nursing can offer insights into optimizing practice models and career progression.
