  2. 11. Pharmacovigilance in municipal elderly care : From a nursing perspective

    Author : Rose-Marie Johansson-Pajala; Lene Martin; Kerstin Jorsäter Blomgren; Johan Fastbom; Pernilla Hillerås; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; competence; computerized decision support systems; content analysis; drug monitoring; inter-professional collaboration; nurse; older person; patient; pharmacovigilance; pharmacovigilant activities; phenomenography; Care Sciences; vårdvetenskap;

    Abstract : Medication management constitutes a large part of registered nurses' (RNs) daily work in municipal elderly care. They are responsible for monitoring multimorbid older persons with extensive treatments, and they often work alone, without daily access to physicians. RNs’ drug monitoring is, in this thesis, based on the concept of pharmacovigilance. READ MORE

  4. 12. On drug use, multiple medication and polypharmacy in a national population

    Author : Bo Hovstadius; Göran Petersson; Sven Tågerud; Bengt Åstrand; Björn Wettermark; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : drug use; multiple medication; polypharmacy; register; prevalence; therapeutic intensity; acquisition cost.; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The application of multiple medications has successively increased during a number of years and has thereby increased the potential risks of adverse drug reactions, interactions and non-adherence to drug therapy. This may result in unnecessary health expenditure, directly due to redundant drug sales, and indirectly due to the increased hospitalization caused by drug-related problems. READ MORE

  5. 13. In vitro characterization of nanodrugs at model lipid membranes

    Author : Rickard Frost; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; in vitro screening; nanomedicine; drug delivery; drug carrier; supported lipid bilayer; QCM-D; nanoparticle; cell membrane;

    Abstract : The use of nano-sized drug carriers to improve the efficiency of drug delivery has become well established during the past decades. New nanoparticle (NP) formulations for the administration of biopharmaceuticals (e.g. proteins and peptides) emerge at an increasing rate and the need for methods to evaluate their properties is expanding.

  6. 14. Individualized treatment and control of bacterial infections

    Author : Hanna Woksepp; Thomas Schön; Anders Johansson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; therapeutic drug monitoring; intensive care unit; β-lactam antibiotics; antimicrobial drug resistance; molecular typing; whole-genome sequencing; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Infectious diseases cause substantial morbidity and mortality, exacerbated by increasing antibiotic resistance. In critically ill patients, recent studies indicate a substantial variability in β-lactam antibiotic levels when standardized dosing is applied. READ MORE

  7. 15. Studies of drug safety in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Johanna Karlsson Sundbaum; Eva Baecklund; Mia Wadelius; Pär Hallberg; Peter Michaelson; Gerd-Marie Alenius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Drug safety; Rheumatoid arthritis; Hepatotoxicity; Methotrexate; MTHFR; GWAS; tuberculosis; screening;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mainly smaller joints. Patients are at risk for complications as joint destruction, but starting treatment soon after onset of disease, has reduced the risk for complications. READ MORE
