Systematic reviews that examine effectiveness of interventions to improve medicines optimisation do not explain how or why they work. This realist review identified that interventions which effectively optimise medicines use in osteoporosis include opportunities to address patients' perceptions of illness and ...
Although a majority of biologists are convinced that a mass extinction is underway on earth today, the human history with direct observatory data is too short to predict its future trends. At least five mass extinctions occurred during the Phanerozoic Eon, causing the rapid extinction of at least...
Cell and gene therapies are at the forefront of personalised and precision medicines. By better understanding and harnessing the human body’s own biological/immunological processes to fight or even cure disease, these “living drugs” hold tremendous promise for millions of patients with high unmet ...
Given the rapidly ageing population in much of the world, and the increasing prevalence of non鈥恈ommunicable diseases, there has never been a more important time to think about the challenges of multimorbidity, polypharmacy and medicines optimisation. I am sure many people are working in this ...
Multimorbidity and the associated use of multiple medicines (polypharmacy), is common in the older population. Despite this, there is no consensus definition for polypharmacy. A systematic review was conducted to identify and summarise polypharmacy definitions in existing literature. ...
