Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

11.8K
Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Drug Nomenclature01:17

Drug Nomenclature

1.6K
During the development of a new pharmaceutical, the manufacturer initially assigns a code name to the drug. Once approved, the drug receives a United States Adopted Name (USAN)—a generic, nonproprietary designation. Upon being listed in the United States Pharmacopeia, this nonproprietary name becomes the drug's official name. Additionally, the manufacturer assigns a proprietary name or trademark, which serves as the brand name under which the drug is marketed. It is worth noting that...

Bioequivalence: Overview01:16

Bioequivalence: Overview

913
Pharmaceutical equivalents, by definition, are drug products with the same active ingredient in the same quantities, encapsulated in identical dosage forms, and intended for the same administration routes. These pharmaceutical equivalents are deemed bioequivalent if the bioavailability of the active entity in the drug preparations is similar. Moreover, pharmaceutical equivalents demonstrating bioequivalence are also regarded as therapeutically equivalent. This means that when used as directed,...

Chi-square Analysis02:46

Chi-square Analysis

37.2K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

683
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...

Clinical Trials: Overview01:11

Clinical Trials: Overview

2.7K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Scientometrics
  • Research Evaluation

Background:

  • Publication counts are widely used to assess scientific activity.
  • The increasing volume of scientific literature can lead to misinterpretations of these counts.
  • Existing metrics may not accurately reflect true research impact or trends.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the limitations of raw publication counts in scientific evaluation.
  • To propose a normalization method for publication data.
  • To enhance the contextual understanding of research output metrics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a straightforward normalization technique.
  • Utilizing a query and a reference term for normalization.
  • Implementation of an open-access tool for PubMed data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method provides normalized publication counts.
  • This normalization offers a more accurate context for evaluating scientific trends.
  • The open-access tool facilitates wider adoption and application.

Conclusions:

  • Normalized publication counts offer a more reliable indicator of scientific trends.
  • The developed method mitigates issues arising from the sheer volume of publications.
  • This approach supports more informed research assessment and evaluation.
