Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

764
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia01:29

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

457
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Cholinergic Antagonists: Pharmacokinetics

515
Cholinergic antagonists—such as antimuscarinics—are available in oral, topical, ocular, parenteral, and inhalational formulations. Most antimuscarinics are oral formulations,  while scopolamine is available as a topical patch, and ipratropium and tiotropium are available as inhalation aerosols or powders. Atropine, tropicamide, and cyclopentolate are topically instilled in the eye. Most antimuscarinics are lipid-soluble and readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

598
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview01:21

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

2.0K
When it comes to infants and young children, they are typically administered smaller doses of medication in comparison to adults. This is primarily because their organ functions still need to fully develop, meaning their bodies are not as efficient at metabolizing or eliminating drugs. Additionally, their blood-brain barrier is more permeable than in adults. As a result, high concentrations of drugs can easily penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), potentially leading to neurological...

Bipolar Disorder01:30

Bipolar Disorder

105
Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental health condition marked by significant mood fluctuations, including episodes of mania and depression. Elevated energy levels, heightened mood or irritability, impulsive behavior, reduced sleep needs, rapid speech, racing thoughts, inflated self-esteem, and distractibility characterize mania. Individuals with bipolar disorder often alternate between depressive and manic states, with periods of emotional stability lasting an average of six months to a year.

Summary

Episodic migraine disproportionately affects underserved populations, leading to underdiagnosis and undertreatment. Addressing healthcare disparities requires systemic changes, bias awareness, and inclusive research to improve migraine care for all.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Episodic migraine is a prevalent and debilitating neurological condition.
  • Significant diagnostic and treatment disparities exist for underserved populations, including racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the extent of healthcare disparities in episodic migraine.
  • To highlight the lack of research on many underserved populations.
  • To call for action to improve migraine care in these communities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on studies examining disparities in episodic migraine diagnosis and treatment.
  • Analysis of existing research on underdiagnosed and undertreated populations.

Main Results:

  • While some research exists for Black populations, many other underserved groups lack adequate study.
  • Underserved populations experience higher migraine incidence and disability but lower diagnosis and treatment rates.
  • Healthcare disparities in migraine care are evident across various demographic factors.

Conclusions:

  • Urgent need for increased research and assessment of disparities in diverse underserved populations.
  • Healthcare systems must implement changes, including bias awareness and targeted education.
  • Inclusion of diverse populations in research and training is crucial for equitable migraine management.
