Report drug side effects, physicians say

Posted: Published on February 21st, 2013

MORE than 1.5 million Australians suffer the side effects of medicines every year, presenting a real danger to public health, physicians say. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) wants healthcare professionals to report instances of patients having adverse reactions to drugs to minimise the risk of people taking the wrong medicines. In its federal budget submission, the RACP on Friday called on the Labor government to make the proposed reporting measure mandatory for doctors and healthcare workers. Currently, health carers aren't required to notify the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) about adverse drug reactions. At present only nine per cent of reported cases are provided by this group of professionals. Without reporting, there was a danger that safety issues involving certain medications will go undetected, RACP warns. "Adverse drug events are a significant cost to the Australian community in terms of related visits to general practitioners, hospitals, and in severe cases, death," said Winston Liauw from the RACP's ethics advisory group. At least 400,000 GP visits and 190,000 hospital admissions are linked to the side effects of medicines. The public costs associated with medicine-related hospital visits in 2008 was $660 million, and around half of those visits were preventable, the … Continue reading →

UCLA life scientists identify drug that could aid treatment of anxiety disorders

Posted: Published on February 21st, 2013

Public release date: 20-Feb-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Stuart Wolpert swolpert@support.ucla.edu 310-206-0511 University of California - Los Angeles The drug scopolamine has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including nausea and motion sickness. A new study by UCLA life scientists suggests that it may also be useful in treating anxiety disorders. Researchers found that the drug can help boost the effectiveness of a common treatment for anxiety disorders known as exposure therapy. In exposure therapy, a subject with a phobia or anxiety is repeatedly exposed to the object or situation they fear, in a non-threatening setting. The goal of this treatment is to ultimately lessen and eliminate the fear in essence, make it "extinct." However, fear-extinction memories formed during this type of therapy tend to be weak because they are tied to the non-dangerous context. Subjects have a tendency to relapse when they again encounter the source of their anxiety in a different environment. "Extinction has one Achilles heel that at present has not quite been pierced namely, extinction learning is highly dependent on the environment or context in which it occurs," said Michael Fanselow, a UCLA professor of psychology and the senior author of … Continue reading →

Drug could aid treatment of anxiety disorders

York university's study into drugs work at prisons

Posted: Published on February 21st, 2013

York university's study into drugs work at prisons 8:56am Thursday 21st February 2013 in Education news New research led by the University of York will examine the success of work being done in a number of prisons to help prisoners recover from drug dependency. Drug recovery wings have been established in 11 prisons in England and Wales, including Askham Grange, near York, as dedicated areas designed to help prisoners give up their use of substances and prepare for social reintegration on release. The three-year study, which will include interviews with staff and prisoners, aims to assess what impact the wings have on prisoners drug or alcohol dependency and their impact on their re-offending. It will identify which wings are most successful and focus on therapeutic programmes and interventions which work best. Researchers will also collect information on the impact on prisons of having a wing focused on abstinence and recovery from drug and alcohol problems. The work is being done by researchers in the universitys Department of Health Sciences, in partnership with Centre for Drug Misuse Research in Glasgow and the University of Cambridge. Principal investigator Charlie Lloyd said: This important evaluation will compare the different approaches taken in selected … Continue reading →
