Summary
AJHP now offers rapid online publication of accepted manuscripts. These peer-reviewed articles are posted before final formatting and author review, ensuring faster access to research findings.
Area of Science:
- Scholarly Publishing
- Medical Journal Operations
Background:
- Traditional publication workflows can delay the dissemination of research.
- Academic journals aim to balance thoroughness with timely communication.
Purpose of the Study:
- To accelerate the online availability of peer-reviewed manuscripts.
- To provide readers with earlier access to accepted research findings.
Main Methods:
- Implementing a rapid online posting system for accepted manuscripts.
- Posting peer-reviewed and copyedited articles prior to final technical formatting and author proofing.
Main Results:
- Manuscripts are published online sooner after acceptance.
- The online version is not the final published record.
Conclusions:
- This expedited process allows for faster dissemination of scientific information.
- The final, formatted article will replace the pre-publication version upon completion.

01:18Anticoagulant Drugs: Vitamin K Antagonists and Direct Oral Anticoagulants
1.1K
Oral anticoagulants are vital tools in preventing and treating blood clotting disorders. This diverse class of medications can be categorized as vitamin K antagonists, exemplified by warfarin, and direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs), such as dabigatran, as well as factor Xa inhibitors, including rivaroxaban.
Warfarin, a prominent vitamin K antagonist family member, exerts its effect by inhibiting the enzyme VKORC1 (vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1). By hindering this enzyme, warfarin...

01:30Anticoagulant Drugs: Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins
583
Hemostasis is a crucial process that prevents excessive blood loss from damaged blood vessels. It involves various mechanisms such as vasoconstriction, platelet adhesion and activation, and fibrin formation. The importance of each mechanism depends on the type of vessel injury. In contrast, thrombosis is the abnormal formation of a blood clot within the blood vessels, leading to potential complications if the clot obstructs blood flow. Thrombosis can be caused by increased coagulability of the...

01:20Antiplatelet Drugs: Prostaglandin Synthesis, P2Y12 and Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors
436
Antiplatelet drugs emerge as frontline defenders against the insidious threat of thromboembolic diseases, where abnormal clots obstruct vital blood vessels. These drugs stand as bulwarks, inhibiting platelet aggregation and clot formation, thereby mitigating the risk of life-threatening conditions like myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and thrombotic strokes.

01:25Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring
576
Blood pressure monitoring is a crucial clinical procedure in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions. Despite its significance, the accuracy of blood pressure measurements can be compromised by multiple factors, potentially leading to either falsely high or low readings. These inaccuracies are critical as they can significantly impact patient care. So, it is vital to understand these challenges deeply and adopt strategic approaches to minimize errors.

01:15Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview
3.4K
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...

01:01Dosage Regimen: Fixed Dose
1.8K
Fixed-dose regimens are a common approach to administer drugs to achieve and maintain desired levels of the drug in the body. In this dosing strategy, a specific amount of medication is given at regular intervals, often multiple times a day, to ensure a consistent drug concentration in the bloodstream.
Fixed-dose regimens can be used for various routes of administration, including intravenous (IV) injections and oral medications. For IV administration, a predetermined amount of the drug is...
