Abstract Introduction A worldwide vaccination campaign is underway to bring an end the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; however, its success relies heavily on actual willingness of individuals get vaccinated. Social media platforms such as Twitter may prove be a valuable source information attitudes and sentiment towards that can tracked almost instantaneously. Materials methods The academic Application Programming Interface was used retrieve all English-language tweets mentioning AstraZeneca/Oxford,...
European medical students should have acquired adequate prescribing competencies before graduation, but it is not known whether this the case. In international multicenter study, we evaluated essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes in clinical pharmacology therapeutics (CPT) of final-year across Europe. a cross-sectional design, 26 schools from 17 countries were asked to administer standardized assessment questionnaire 50 students. Although there differences between schools, our results...
Aims Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and sigma‐1 receptor agonist, has so far shown promise in the prevention of COVID‐19 progression as an early treatment option three trials. The aim this study was to evaluate safety efficacy fluvoxamine patients if administered later course disease. Methods designed open‐label, prospective cohort trial with matched controls. In April May 2021, 51 ICU hospitalised University Hospital Dubrava Centre Zagreb, Croatia, were treated...
Abstract Symmetrical drug‐related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE) is a rare, symmetrical skin eruption triggered by various medications, predominantly beta‐lactam antibiotics. We report the case of 69‐year‐old male with moderate‐to‐severe ulcerative colitis who developed SDRIFE following seventh intravenous administration infliximab. The patient presented symmetrical, pruritic erythema in cubital popliteal fossae, groins, gluteal retroauricular regions without systemic...
1. Poor prescribing is probably the most common cause of preventable medication errors in hospitals, and many these events involve junior doctors who have recently graduated. Prescribing a complex skill that depends on sound knowledge medicines, an understanding principles clinical pharmacology, ability to make judgements concerning risks benefits, ideally experience. It not surprising occur. 2. The challenge being prescriber greater now than ever before. Medical education has changed...
Effective teaching in pharmacology and clinical therapeutics (CPT) is necessary to make medical students competent prescribers. However, the current structure, delivery, assessment of CPT education European Union (EU) unknown. We sent an online questionnaire teachers with overall responsibility for EU schools. Questions focused on undergraduate CPT, students' preparedness prescribing. In all, 185 schools (64%) from 27 countries responded. Traditional learning methods were mainly used. The...
Abstract Aims Medical case vignettes play a crucial role in medical education, yet they often fail to authentically represent diverse patients. Moreover, these tend oversimplify the complex relationship between patient characteristics and conditions, leading biased potentially harmful perspectives among students. Displaying aspects of diversity, such as ethnicity, written cases proves challenging. Additionally, creating places significant burden on teachers terms labour time. Our objective...
Rare diseases, defined as those affecting fewer than 200 000 individuals in the United States and 5 10 EU, collectively impact approximately 300 million people globally.1 Patients with rare diseases have always been a marginalized group, particularly low- middle-income countries due to lack of effective treatment accurate diagnostic methods insufficient knowledge health professionals. Following incentives by national governments globally, significant advances made during last decades towards...
This paper aims to explore the possibility of employing large language models (LLMs) – a type artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical pharmacology, with focus on its possible misuse bioweapon development. Additionally, ethical considerations, legislation and potential risk reduction measures are analysed. The existing literature is reviewed investigate AI LLMs creation. search includes articles from PubMed, Scopus Web Science Core Collection that were identified using specific protocol. To...
Medical deserts are a growing phenomenon across many European countries. They usually defined as (i) rural areas, (ii) underserved areas or (iii) by applying measure of distance/time to facility combination the three characteristics. The objective was define medical in Spain well map their driving factors and approaches mitigate them.
