Highest Adverse Effect Rates for Three Drugs in Parkinson's - 0 views

  •  
    Ropinirole, bromocriptine, and piribedil are associated with the highest incidence rates of adverse effects in Parkinson's disease, according to a review published online Sept. 4 in CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics. Bao-Dong Li, from the Hebei Province Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in China, and colleagues conducted a systematic review to compare the adverse effects of 11 drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease. Data were included from 24 randomized controlled trials. The researchers found that, compared with placebo, the incidence of adverse reactions of ropinirole, rotigotine, entacapone, and sumanirole were higher in terms of nausea. The incidence rates of dyskinesia side effects were highest with ropinirole, while in terms of patients' hallucination, pramipexole was significantly higher. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve values of all drugs showed that the incidence of adverse reaction of pergolide was relatively high (nausea, 83.5 percent; hallucination, 79.8 percent); the incidence of dyskinesia and somnolence was higher with ropinirole (80.5 and 69.4 percent); in terms of dizziness, the incidence of adverse reaction of piribedil was higher (67.0 percent), and in terms of constipation, the incidence of bromocriptine was relatively high (62.3 percent). "In addition to current forms of treatment, we hope that our results can produce useful information for further development of new drugs to treat Parkinson's disease based on the natures of each drug," the authors write.

New Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of T2DM - 0 views

  •  
    Management of type 2 diabetes should include shared decision making, and patients should be offered individualized diabetes self-management education and glycemic management plans, according to a summary of a clinical practice guideline published online Oct. 23 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Paul R. Conlin, M.D., from the VA Boston Healthcare System in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, and colleagues convened a joint U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Evidence-Based Practice Work Group to develop a guideline for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The authors provided updates on management within seven areas: patient-centered care and shared decision making, glycemic biomarkers, target ranges of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), individualized treatment plans, pharmacologic treatment in the outpatient setting, glucose targets for critically ill patients, and treatment for patients in the hospital. Patients should be offered individualized diabetes self-management education, as well as individualized glycemic management plans and target ranges for HbA1c. "In summary, the VA/DoD CPG [clinical practice guideline] attempts to convey to clinicians, policymakers, and patients the rationale for personalizing treatment on the basis of results from major trials, limitations of the HbA1c test, and evaluation of patient risk for adverse drug events. Conveying complex information in an understandable manner to individual patients and families through a formal process of shared decision making is thus foundational to setting and revising goals that are meaningful, safe, and achievable in everyday clinical practice," the authors write.

Most Ophthalmologists Write Few Opioid Prescriptions - 0 views

  •  
    Most ophthalmologists write no more than 10 opioid prescriptions annually, with a mean supply per prescription of five days, according to a study published online Oct. 5 in JAMA Ophthalmology. Shriji Patel, M.D., and Paul Sternberg Jr., M.D., both from Vanderbilt Eye Institute in Nashville, Tennessee, analyzed physician and beneficiary measures using Medicare Part D Prescriber Data (2013 to 2015) to determine prescribing patterns for opioid drugs for participating ophthalmologists. The researchers found that, consistently, 88 to 89 percent of ophthalmologists wrote 10 opioid prescriptions or fewer annually. Only about 1 percent of ophthalmologists wrote more than 100 opioid prescriptions annually. On average, ophthalmologists wrote seven opioid prescriptions per year with a mean supply of five days. The six states with the highest volume of annual opioid prescriptions per ophthalmologist were in the South.
