概括
阿联的药剂师对除了消化健康之外的益生菌益处的知识有限,特别是对心血管和精神健康的益处. 需要进行教育干预,以提高药剂师对各种益生菌应用的理解和患者指导.
科学领域:
- 微生物学与人类健康
- 药理学和治疗学 药理学和治疗学
背景情况:
- 肠道微生物群对整体健康起着至关重要的作用,影响免疫功能,新陈代谢和精神健康.
- 药剂师是促进益生菌用于免疫支持的关键,但他们对更广泛应用的理解尚未得到充分探索.
研究的目的:
- 探索药剂师在阿联超越消化健康的益生菌应用方面的知识,感知和实践.
- 评估益生菌对心血管和精神健康以及各种剂量形式的影响的认识.
主要方法:
- 在阿联对407名药剂师进行了在线调查.
- 数据分析包括描述性统计和千-平方测试,以确定人口统计和知识水平之间的关联 (p < 0.05).
主要成果:
- 虽然91.2%的人承认免疫支持的好处,但只有30%的人知道心血管的好处.
- 有关益生菌对心理健康和像口香糖 (16.7%) 等不太常见的剂量形式存在显著的知识差距.
- 高成本 (86.5%) 是一个主要的感知障碍,并且仍然存在一种误解,即益生菌仅用于胃肠道问题 (79.1%).

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics
1
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Drug Permeability, Stability and Stereochemistry
179
Orally administered drugs primarily enter the systemic circulation via passive diffusion through the intestinal membranes. The drug's absorption is influenced by drug stability in the gastrointestinal GI tract, membrane permeability, the surface area available for absorption, luminal drug concentration, and residence time in the lumen. Drug permeability can be enhanced by adjusting the lipophilicity, polarity, or molecular size of the drug, promoting its passive transport across intestinal...

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Antimicrobials as Antidiarrheal Agents
109
Acute diarrhea, a common gastrointestinal disturbance, is characterized by the rapid evacuation of fluid stools, leading to an excessive weight in fluid. This condition typically arises from disorders affecting intestinal water and electrolyte transport. It can be triggered by an increased osmotic load within the intestine, excessive secretion of electrolytes and water, mucosal exudation of protein and fluid, or altered intestinal motility. The primary risks of acute diarrhea are dehydration...

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Drug pKa, Lipophilicity and GI pH
1.1K
Drug absorption within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex process influenced by several critical factors, including the site pH, the drug's dissociation constant (pKa), and the drug's lipophilicity. The GI tract exhibits a pH gradient, with an acidic environment in the stomach and a more alkaline environment in the small intestine. This pH variation directly affects the ionization state of drugs.

Drugs for Treatment of Constipation-Predominant IBS
139
Pharmacological therapies for IBS-C are designed to alleviate abdominal discomfort and enhance bowel function. In patients with IBS-C, fiber supplements may help soften stools and decrease straining, but may also lead to increased gas production and bloating. Osmotic laxatives like milk of magnesia are frequently used to soften stools and increase stool frequency in IBS-C patients. In addition, two drugs approved for use in severe IBS-C adult cases are linaclotide (Linzess) and lubiprostone...

Acid Suppressive Drugs for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Proton Pump Inhibitors
360
Peptic ulcers, often induced by H. pylori infections or NSAID usage, arise from disruptions in the delicate balance of gastric acid production. Peptic ulcers stem from heightened gastric acid levels due to H. pylori infections or NSAID use. The protective mucus layer diminishes in the presence of these factors, allowing gastric acid to erode the stomach lining and form ulcers.
