This study aimed to compare the ability of serial cranial ultrasounds (CUS) and early MRI scans in detecting preterm brain injuries. The study found that CUS allowed for more scans due to better feasibility in the NICU, and was better at detecting grade I-II intraventricular hemorrhages and perforator strokes. MRI was superior for identifying smaller cerebellar hemorrhages and provided more quantitative data. Overall, the combination of serial CUS and MRI provided the highest sensitivity for detecting common preterm brain injuries, though MRI could not be performed in the sickest infants.
Safe Prescribing of Second Line Combined Oral Contraceptivemeducationdotnet
Here is what I would do next:
1. Perform a urine pregnancy test
2. Send for STI screening (chlamydia, gonorrhoea)
3. Consider pelvic ultrasound to check for ectopic pregnancy
4. Discuss options for changing contraception with the patient once investigations are complete
5. Review in 1 week with results of tests
6. Consider referral to gynaecology if pregnancy or infection is detected
The differential diagnosis includes:
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Intrauterine pregnancy
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Cervical infection
- Endometrial pathology
- Bleeding disorder
So in summary - investigate for pregnancy and infection, discuss
This document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that compared the effectiveness of hormonal treatments (prednisolone and tetracosactide) to vigabatrin in treating infantile spasms in infants. 107 infants were randomly assigned to receive either hormonal treatments (n=55) or vigabatrin (n=52). The primary outcome was cessation of spasms on days 13-14. Results found that a greater proportion of infants receiving hormonal treatments achieved cessation of spasms compared to those receiving vigabatrin (73% vs 54%). Adverse events were common with both treatments. This study provides evidence that hormonal treatments may be more effective than vigabatrin for controlling infant
Treating Pregnant Opioid Dependent Women: Examining Buprenorphine and Methadoneshabeel pn
This document summarizes research comparing the use of methadone and buprenorphine to treat opioid dependence in pregnant women. A randomized double-blind study found that while all infants exposed to either drug showed signs of neonatal abstinence syndrome, infants exposed to buprenorphine tended to require less treatment and have shorter hospital stays. Both drugs were found to provide benefits to mothers by supporting treatment adherence and prenatal care. While larger studies are still needed, the results suggest that buprenorphine may produce milder withdrawal symptoms in exposed infants. Overall, the study supports the safety and efficacy of both methadone and buprenorphine for treating opioid dependence during pregnancy.

The document summarizes the current state of research on medical marijuana for treating epilepsy. It notes that preclinical evidence and preliminary human studies suggest cannabidiol and THC may help some epilepsy patients. However, large double-blind studies are still needed to determine safety and efficacy. The document outlines some positive effects seen in early trials as well as potential side effects and risks especially for children. It emphasizes the need for more rigorous clinical research before conclusions can be drawn about medical marijuana as an antiepileptic treatment.
The document discusses contraceptive options for a 42-year-old diabetic woman whose IUD expelled twice previously. The best option is a progestin implant like Implanon, which is category 2 for medical eligibility and has an extremely low failure rate. Implants are effective, long-lasting, and help regulate menstruation without increasing diabetes risk.
Placebos can have real physiological effects through expectation and conditioning, but distinguishing the "true" placebo effect requires removing confounding factors. Studies show placebos reduce pain as measured by brain imaging similarly to opioids, but the effect is removed when combined with an opioid antagonist. A trial of asthma treatments found no difference between a placebo inhaler and no treatment when using an objective outcome measure and a cross-over design without patient expectations.
Switching therapy in Multiple sclerosisDivya Shilpa
1) A 37-year-old housewife, Mrs. S.D., has relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. She has experienced breakthrough disease activity while on interferon beta therapy.
2) The document discusses criteria for evaluating clinically relevant disease activity and considerations for treatment adjustment, including relapse rate, disability progression, and MRI findings. It also reviews options for switching or adding therapy, such as increasing interferon beta dose or switching to glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, fingolimod, or other drugs.
3) The evidence on switching therapies suggests that some patients with suboptimal response to interferon beta may experience reduced relapse rates and disability progression after switching to glat
Journal club 1- Randomized trial of Hyperglycemic control in PICUZaheen Zehra
This randomized controlled trial involved 1369 children admitted to pediatric ICUs in England to assess if tight glycemic control using insulin reduces mortality and morbidity compared to conventional control. Children were randomly assigned to tight control (72-126 mg/dL blood glucose) or conventional control (>216 mg/dL). The primary outcome was days alive and free from ventilation at 30 days. Secondary outcomes assessed morbidity and costs at ICU discharge and 12 months. Tight control did not increase days free from ventilation but was associated with less renal replacement therapy, shorter hospital stays, and lower costs, especially in non-cardiac patients. [/SUMMARY]
The document discusses health literacy and effective patient-physician communication strategies, noting that limited health literacy adversely impacts patient health outcomes and that using clear communication techniques such as plain language, teach back methods, and soliciting questions can help address this issue and improve patient understanding. It also provides statistics showing nearly half of U.S. adults have below basic or basic health literacy skills.
This study evaluated men with Peyronie's disease who received collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) or placebo in two large clinical trials. The percentage of "composite responders" - defined as those with ≥20% improvement in penile curvature and symptom bother - was significantly higher in the CCH group compared to placebo at both 24 and 52 weeks. When the definition was changed to require a ≥2 point improvement in symptom bother, the percentage of composite responders remained significantly higher in the CCH group, supporting the efficacy of CCH treatment for both physical and psychosexual aspects of Peyronie's disease.
Sex dimorphic effects of prenatal treatment withHiya Boro
1) The study assessed the long-term cognitive functions and scholastic performance of 34 children aged 7-17 years who were treated with dexamethasone in the first trimester of pregnancy for risk of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, compared to 66 healthy controls.
2) Neuropsychological tests assessed intelligence, executive functions, processing speed, memory, and scholastic competence. No significant differences were found between the dexamethasone-treated and control groups on any measures.
3) This study suggests that short-term prenatal dexamethasone treatment in the first trimester does not adversely impact long-term cognitive functions or scholastic performance during childhood and adolescence.
Here are the key points from the question:
- 14-year-old girl presented with 3 weeks of high grade fever, progressive breathlessness, swelling of feet and abdomen
- No associated symptoms like chills, rigors, dysuria, coryza, jaundice or alteration in bowel habits
- Had a generalized seizure today
- Clinically pale, oral ulcers, arthritis of both knees, left sided pleural effusion, distant heart sounds, liver palpable 4cm below costal margin, free fluid
My diagnosis would be Rheumatic fever based on the following:
- History of preceding sore throat
- Fever for 3 weeks
- Arthritis of both knees
- Carditis
This study analyzed 114 cases of neonatal Candida bloodstream infection from a tertiary care hospital in central India over 5 years. Non-albicans Candida (NAC) infections like C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis were associated with higher mortality and longer hospital stays. Resistance to fluconazole and amphotericin B was also higher in NAC infections. Prolonged use of central lines, nil oral intake, mechanical ventilation and longer hospital stays were identified as risk factors. The study highlights the need for timely identification of Candida species and antifungal susceptibility testing to help improve outcomes.
This document summarizes guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics for diagnosing and managing acute otitis media (AOM) in children. It provides stringent criteria for diagnosing AOM based on signs of bulging of the eardrum or fluid in the middle ear. It recommends treating pain associated with AOM. For children presenting with severe symptoms, it recommends prescribing antibiotics. For children with non-severe symptoms, it recommends either prescribing antibiotics or close observation, depending on the child's age. It provides guidance on appropriate antibiotic choices and follow-up care. It also addresses preventing recurrent AOM through vaccines, breastfeeding, and avoiding tobacco smoke.
Clinical Pharmacology discusses the responsibilities of physicians in prescribing drugs safely and effectively. It addresses important considerations like deciding if a drug is necessary, assessing risks and benefits, monitoring adverse drug reactions, and improving patient compliance through education and partnership. Prescriptions require accurately calculating doses based on patient characteristics and writing clear instructions for administration.
Sepsis and antibiotic guidance in neurology wardsDivya Shilpa
1) A one-time survey in a neurology ward and ICU found that 15 out of 69 patients (21.73%) had sepsis. Common organisms found included Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and E. coli.
2) Guidelines for treating ventriculostomy-associated infections recommend intravenous and intraventricular antibiotics such as vancomycin. Combined treatment may improve outcomes over intravenous antibiotics alone.
3) Post-stroke infections are common, with reported rates around 30%. Pneumonia is the most frequent type of infection and is associated with increased mortality. Preventive antibiotics may reduce infection rates but not affect mortality.

The document provides information on commonly used drugs for children, including paracetamol, ibuprofen, midazolam, salbutamol, gaviscon infant, cefotaxime, caffeine citrate, morphine, and flucloxacillin. It discusses the uses, who can receive each drug, how it is administered, cautions, and side effects. Research is cited showing medication errors can occur in up to 17.8% of hospitalized children and identifying reasons for adverse drug reactions is important for prevention strategies.
The document discusses the use of evidence-based medicine to evaluate complementary and alternative medicine. It begins with background on the importance of staying current with medical literature and using well-formulated clinical questions. It then discusses how to develop background and foreground clinical questions using the PICO framework to identify patients, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes. Several examples of applying PICO to clinical scenarios are provided. The document also reviews types of medical literature and types of clinical studies used in evidence-based evaluations.
The pharmacists role in drug induced nutrient depletion n. jonesPASaskatchewan
This document discusses the role of pharmacists in addressing drug-induced nutrient depletions. It provides background on how certain medications can affect nutrient levels in the body by interfering with metabolic pathways. Specific examples are given of how statin drugs may deplete coenzyme Q10 and how acid-reducing medications can impact vitamin and mineral absorption. The document advocates for pharmacists to play a greater role in counseling patients on nutritional supplementation to remedy nutrient deficiencies caused by their medications.
This document discusses alternatives to hysterectomy for treating heavy menstrual bleeding. It summarizes options like drug therapy, endometrial ablation techniques like uterine balloon therapy, and the Mirena IUS. Uterine balloon therapy is presented as a minimally invasive, day-care procedure with high success rates of 95% and few complications. Mirena is discussed as the first-line intervention for heavy bleeding when future fertility is desired, as it is highly effective and reversible contraception. Both options are positioned as preferable to hysterectomy in many cases as they allow preserving the uterus and avoid risks of major surgery. Counseling is emphasized to discuss managing side effects like initial irregular bleeding with both methods.
Children with special needs often have extensive dental issues like decay and infection due to lack of preventative care. Sedation dentistry and general anesthesia allow comprehensive treatment for these patients. When treating special needs patients, it's important to take time for psychological preparation, use small steps and a gentle approach, and choose local anesthetics carefully based on the individual patient's needs and health conditions. General anesthesia carries more risk and is best used in a hospital setting for complex cases rather than routine dental work.
A chemical becomes termed a drug when it is approved for medical use in humans by passing rigorous testing and review. The document discusses how chemicals are tested in animals and clinical trials to evaluate their safety, efficacy, dosing, side effects, and appropriate medical uses before being approved and prescribed as drugs. It also provides examples of factors that influence individual drug responses, such as genetics, age, comorbidities, diet and lifestyle. Nurses must consider each patient's full clinical situation and monitor for variable drug effects.

Stages of the medication use process and medication errorsMEEQAT HOSPITAL
The document discusses stages of the medication use process and where medication errors commonly occur. It identifies five stages - physician ordering, transcribing orders, dispensing, administration, and monitoring effects. Errors most often happen during ordering and administration. Common causes include incorrect dosages, frequencies, drugs, and failures in communication. The relationship between medication errors, adverse drug events, and adverse drug reactions is explained. Errors are also classified by stage, category, and severity to help identify and prevent future errors.
1) The document discusses various methods for assessing causality of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), including the WHO causality assessment categories and Naranjo probability scale.
2) The WHO categories include certain, probable, possible, unlikely, conditional/unclassified, and unassessible/unclassifiable based on factors like temporal relationship, dechallenge/rechallenge responses, and alternative explanations.
3) The Naranjo scale uses a scoring system to evaluate ADR reports and determine if the reaction is definite, probable, possible, or doubtful. It considers similar factors as the WHO categories.
The document discusses the importance of communication between healthcare providers and patients regarding medication administration. It outlines several key points:
1) Effective communication helps build trust between nurses and patients, provides job satisfaction, and is essential for quality patient care.
2) There are various methods of communication including verbal, nonverbal, and written. Barriers to communication must also be addressed.
3) Medication errors are common and can be prevented through strategies like checking medications three times, following the eight rights of administration, and properly transcribing orders. Thorough communication between the healthcare team is important to avoid errors.

This document discusses a study on patient education and its role in minimizing pediatric medication errors. The study surveyed 41 mothers in Tikrit Teaching Hospital's pediatric ward on the questions they asked pharmacists about their children's medications. Most mothers had low education levels and previous hospital admissions. While many asked about drug names and dosages, only highly educated mothers asked about side effects. The conclusion is that medical staff should provide detailed education to mothers, especially those with low health literacy, to develop better healthcare outcomes.
This case study describes a pharmacist's role in optimizing medication therapy for Mr. Rodriguez, a patient diagnosed with epilepsy. The pharmacist conducts an assessment of Mr. Rodriguez's condition and medication history. They then provide education on his new anti-epileptic medication, lamotrigine, including dosage instructions and potential side effects. The pharmacist schedules follow-up appointments to monitor response to lamotrigine and collaborate with the healthcare team to ensure optimal seizure control through a comprehensive pharmaceutical care approach.
This document contains 11 scenarios describing different patient presentations related to contraception and consent for procedures.
