Abstract:

Medication errors are an unnecessary threat to patient safety. The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiology of medication errors and to assess the effectiveness of interventions intended to avoid medication errors in a tertiary-care hospital in Hong Kong. The epidemiology of medication errors included the study of the pattern of interception of medication errors and the study of technology-related medication errors using medication incidents reported during years 2006–2010. 34.1% of all medication errors that were reported in the study hospital were not intercepted and 92.4% of all

Objectives: To examine ethnic and income-related disparities in the use of antipsychotic medication by conducting a systematic review of the related literature and a secondary data analysis. Methods: The review was conducted using a protocol developed to systematically search, select and review peer-reviewed articles on ethnic disparities in antipsychotic use. Study selection and data abstraction were performed by two independent reviewers. The secondary data analysis was conducted to examine income-related disparities in antipsychotic use in three cohorts. The first cohort was comprised of 19

Abstract:

This thesis explored the association between maternal use of medication during pregnancy and risk of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL); specifically, whether use of antibiotics, analgesics, anti-nauseas and/or illicit drugs were associated with an increased risk of ALL in the offspring. All cases of ALL, aged 0--14, diagnosed in Quebec during the period 1994--1997 were identified and matched to population-based controls by age and sex. With an overall response rate of 87%, this resulted in nearly 160 case-control pairs. Information was obtained from parents via telephone interviews, a

Abstract:

Psychotropic medications commonly used with children have been associated with side effects significant enough to warrant warnings from the Food and Drug Administration. The risks of these side effects are potentially increased in children who are long-term survivors of childhood cancer because of damage to the heart and central nervous system (CNS) due to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There are few empirical studies addressing whether children treated for cancer have greater exposure to psychotropic medications than the general population, the reasons for use of psychotropic medicatio

Background. Antipsychotic medications are widely prescribed for schizophrenia and other related psychiatric conditions, but can have serious financial costs and adverse effects. The evidence base concerning the efficacy; effectiveness; and adverse effects of antipsychotic medications is extensive but variable in quality and applicability, and controversy continues to exist as to whether the newer medications are superior to the older antipsychotics. Locally derived data on the use and effectiveness of these medications can inform their future use, and complement the national and international

Background Stroke is a serious condition that can have significant impact on an individual’s health and is a significant burden on public health and public finances. Secondary preventive drug treatment after stroke is important for decreasing the risk of recurrent strokes. Non-adherence to drug treatment hampers the treatment effect, especially in long-term preventive treatments.

Abstract:

This study investigated the personal medication management practices of some Medicare eligible university retirees and their dependents. This is important since older adults often take multiple medications and are more susceptible to adverse reactions and interactions. The general hypothesis regarding where retirees medications are obtained and their understanding of their use was not supported. Responses to the research questions revealed a higher level of understanding and compliance than previously reported by others. Also, they are unlikely to participate in an employer sponsored education

The prescription rate of antipsychotics in patients with dementia varies between 20% and 50% for the common and troubling neuropsychiatric symptoms experienced by patients with dementia.

Cocaine use disorder is a serious public health issue for which no approved pharmacotherapies exist. The development of a pharmacotherapy for cocaine use disorder is a priority for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Amphetamine maintenance has been shown to be effective to reduce cocaine use in double-blind placebo controlled clinical trials, but has not been approved due to concerns over safety and abuse liability. Development of new pharmacotherapies is facilitated by preclinical testing for effectiveness and identification of new targets for medication development. The first part of this
