“…Counterfeit antimalarial drugs which contain sub-clinical doses of artesunate have been identified, and their presence has plausibly driven drug resistance [11,12]. Drug resistance, however, does not only occur because of the malign intentions of criminal elements, and can also be driven by other social and behavioural phenomenon such as poor prescribing practices of medical practitioners and pharmacists, or poor compliance by patients [13,14]. Drug resistance arises, therefore, out of a social and cultural context within which drug treatment is delivered and managed, and the biological context of the hosts' and agents' response to the drug delivery regime.…”

BackgroundThere are strong arguments for social science and interdisciplinary research in the neglected tropical diseases. These diseases represent a rich and dynamic interplay between vector, host, and pathogen which occurs within social, physical and biological contexts. The overwhelming sense, however, is that neglected tropical diseases research is a biomedical endeavour largely excluding the social sciences. The purpose of this review is to provide a baseline for discussing the quantum and nature of the science that is being conducted, and the extent to which the social sciences are a part of that.MethodsA bibliographic analysis was conducted of neglected tropical diseases related research papers published over the past 10 years in biomedical and social sciences. The analysis had textual and bibliometric facets, and focussed on chikungunya, dengue, visceral leishmaniasis, and onchocerciasis.ResultsThere is substantial variation in the number of publications associated with each disease. The proportion of the research that is social science based appears remarkably consistent (<4%). A textual analysis, however, reveals a degree of misclassification by the abstracting service where a surprising proportion of the "social sciences" research was pure clinical research. Much of the social sciences research also tends to be "hand maiden" research focused on the implementation of biomedical solutions.ConclusionThere is little evidence that scientists pay any attention to the complex social, cultural, biological, and environmental dynamic involved in human pathogenesis. There is little investigator driven social science and a poor presence of interdisciplinary science. The research needs more sophisticated funders and priority setters who are not beguiled by uncritical biomedical promises.

“…Проблема антибиотикорезистентности и вызы ваемых ею рисков, впервые поднятая в 1940 г., уже не первое десятилетие обсуждается в научном сооб ществе [50][51][52]. T. Kenealy и B. Arroll [53] в своем исследовании в очередной раз подтверждают, что нет доказательств пользы от антибиотиков при ОРВИ или остром гнойном рините ни для детей, ни для взрослых.…”

Во всем мире регистрируется рост распространенности острых и хронических риносинуситов среди взрослого и детского населения. В настоящее время риносинусит, безусловно, является социально значимым заболеванием. Однако анализ данных современной литературы показывает отсутствие единых взглядов на классификацию, этиологические и эпидемиологические аспекты данного заболевания. Все это создает серьезные трудности в разработке унифицированных протоколов диагностики и лечения, способствует росту заболеваемости, в том числе распространенности осложненных форм (гнойно-септических и внутричерепных).

“…Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has been clearly associated with exposure to antibiotics, the inappropriate use and the increased volume of which has elevated bacterial resistance to a major public health concern and has made an increasing number of infectious diseases difficult to treat. Although the problem has been recognized for many years, injudicious use of antibiotics continues to be a major public health problem (Huang et al, 2005).…”

Odontogenic pain, or toothache, is highly prevalent in correctional facilities. When there is no dental sick call because the dental clinic is closed or the facility has no dental clinic, it is critical that midlevel providers and physicians triage and manage these patients until a dentist can resolve the problem. This article explores the etiology and diagnosis of toothache, presents the authors' opinion of the standard of care for managing these patients, and makes three recommendations: (a) access to timely and definitive dental treatment should be available to all inmates experiencing dental pain, (b) antibiotic use should be limited to patients with frank infection, and (c) progress of patients awaiting a dental appointment should be monitored with frequency consistent with the differential diagnosis.
