Pharmacodynamic Models: Linear Concentration–Effect Model

88
The linear concentration–effect model, underpinned by the principle that pharmacological effect (E) is directly proportional to plasma drug concentration (C), emerges as a pivotal simplification of the Emax model for conditions where C is significantly less than EC50. This model portrays a linear trajectory of the concentration–effect relationship when drug levels are markedly below the EC50 threshold.Despite its inherent assumption of continuous effect augmentation with increasing...

Factors Affecting Drug Distribution: Miscellaneous Factors

1.3K
Drug distribution in the human body is a complex process influenced by various individual factors, including age, pregnancy, obesity, diet, body water composition, pH levels, and specific disease conditions.
Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

3.1K
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...

Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Presystemic Elimination01:24

Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Presystemic Elimination

1.2K
The pharmacokinetic journey of oral drugs begins with a crucial first pass through the hepatic portal system, called the first-pass effect. This first pass significantly impacts bioavailability — the proportion of a drug that enters systemic circulation and is available for therapeutic action. The primary route sees the drug absorbed by intestinal membranes and then shunted to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. Here, pre-systemic elimination occurs as drugs face metabolism or biliary...

Pharmacodynamic Models: Emax Drug–Concentration Effect Model01:18

Pharmacodynamic Models: Emax Drug–Concentration Effect Model

228
The Emax drug-concentration effect model is central to pharmacodynamics in drug discovery and development. This model is predicated on the receptor occupancy theory, which posits that the effect of a drug is directly related to the number of receptors occupied by the drug and the resultant complex formation.The model describes the reversible interaction between a drug (C) and a receptor (R) to form a drug-receptor complex (RC). The kinetics of this interaction are quantified by an equation that...

Factors Affecting Drug Distribution: Physiological Barriers01:23

Factors Affecting Drug Distribution: Physiological Barriers

1.0K
Drug distribution in the body is intricately regulated by various physiological barriers that control the passage of substances. These include the capillary endothelial barrier, the blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid, blood-placental, and blood-testis barriers.
The capillary endothelial barrier allows only smaller molecules below 600 Da (Daltons) to pass through. It also restricts drugs like heparin that are bound to blood components, limiting their movement within the bloodstream.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Technology Acceptance Models
  • Medical Practice Management

Background:

  • Electronic prescription (e-prescription) systems are crucial for modern health information systems.
  • Physician acceptance is a key determinant of e-prescription system success.
  • Understanding factors influencing adoption is vital for effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors influencing physicians' acceptance of e-prescription systems.
  • To apply a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach.
  • To integrate constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), and Health Belief Model (HBM).

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study design was employed.
  • A validated researcher-developed questionnaire based on TAM, IDT, and HBM was used.
  • Data from 123 family physicians were analyzed using PLS-SEM.

Main Results:

  • Relative advantage, compatibility, and perceived ease of use positively influenced perceived usefulness and benefits.
  • Perceived usefulness and benefits strongly predicted behavioral intention and e-prescription acceptance.
  • Cues to action did not significantly impact behavioral intention.

Conclusions:

  • Health policymakers should focus on enhancing system usability and usefulness for physicians.
  • Improving training, system design, and promoting benefits are crucial for e-prescription adoption.
  • Addressing physicians' needs and feedback is essential for successful implementation.
