Time Course of Drug Effect01:14

Time Course of Drug Effect

2.1K
The progression of a drug's impact can be analyzed by examining both the concentration-time course and the effect-time course. The concentration-time course is determined by the drug's half-life and is influenced by factors such as its pharmacokinetics, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The effect of the drug is often related to its concentration in the plasma and is calculated using the maximum drug effect and the plasma concentration that generates 50...

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

2.2K
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...

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...

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview01:15

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

3.6K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

93
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Traditional 5-day academic schedules may not optimize student learning or well-being.
  • Adapting educational structures is crucial for enhancing student experiences and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation and impact of a 4-day student didactic course schedule.
  • To assess student and faculty perceptions of a condensed academic week.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-day course schedule was implemented in Spring 2021.
  • Surveys of students (Classes of 2023, 2024) and faculty were conducted in Fall 2021.
  • Quantitative (frequencies, odds ratios) and qualitative thematic analyses were employed, with Fall 2020 data as baseline.

Main Results:

  • 97% of students preferred the 4-day schedule, citing more time for study (69%) and self-care (20%).
  • 85% of students reported improved academic performance; 87% of faculty noted improved work-life balance.
  • Students reported increased engagement and satisfaction with course structure, despite longer class times.

Conclusions:

  • The 4-day course schedule was positively received by both students and faculty.
  • Institutions can consider this model to enhance student preparation time and support wellness activities.
