Electronic medication management: enthusiasm justified but caution required

Pathway-based analysis of GWAS datasets: effective but caution required.

Pathway-based analysis is rapidly emerging as an alternative but powerful approach for searching for disease causal genes from genomic datasets and has been applied to many complex diseases recently, but it is only now beginning to be applied in psychiatry. Here, we discuss critical issues in the pathway-based approach by specifically comparing the first pathway analysis of genome-wide associat...

Nursing Satisfaction with Medication Care by Using Neonatal Electronic Medication Management Systems

Background: Medication management is a complex process with multiple stages that involves different health care teams. Based on the evidence, an electronic medication management system offers significant benefits, such as reduced medication errors, improved conformity, enhanced time and cost efficiency, and increased patient safety. This study aimed to design and implement an electronic medicat...

Gene therapy for coronary restenosis: is the enthusiasm justified?

Despite dramatic technological advances in coronary intervention, restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention remains an important cause of morbidity with major financial implications. By six months postprocedure, some 16–32% of highly selected patients receiving optimal treatment within the privileged context of a clinical trial have developed restenosis, necessitating target vesse...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Balancing enthusiasm and caution.

Caution: coloured medication and the colour blind.

Colour is a good way to diff erentiate tablets and their containers because it enables more immediate recognition than do words printed on labels or embossed onto tablets. Moreover, patients with poor vision or those not wearing their reading glasses can have diffi culty reading print on labels or tiny low-contrast embossed text on tablets. However, 8% of men and 0·4% of women have impaired col...
