“…In the current study, most physicians failed to identify all the possible adverse effects of paracetamol. This could be because paracetamol is relatively safe when taken within the therapeutic dosage limits (<4 g per day in adults) and also because physicians tend to perceive paracetamol as less risky when compared to other analgesics or antipyretics [ 44 ].…”

Dengue fever is one of the most important viral infections transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes and a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Accurate identification of cases and treatment of dengue patients at the early stages can reduce medical complications and dengue mortality rate. This survey aims to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) among physicians in dengue diagnosis and treatment. This study was conducted among physicians in Turkey as one nonendemic country and Bangladesh, India, and Malaysia as three dengue-endemic countries. The dosing frequencies, maximum doses, and contraindications in dengue fever were examined. The results found that physicians from Bangladesh, India, and Malaysia have higher KAP scores in dengue diagnosis and treatment compared to physicians in Turkey. This may be due to a lack of physician’s exposure to a dengue patient as Turkey is considered a nonendemic country. This assessment may help establish a guideline for intervention strategies among physicians to have successful treatment outcomes and reduce dengue mortality.

et al. 2020

Objectives The objectives of this study were to describe the prevalence and seriousness of analgesic-induced adverse events (AEs) and to identify factors associated with serious analgesic-related AEs in Korea. Methods Voluntarily reported analgesic-induced AEs to the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System from 2007 to 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Analgesic medications were classified into nonopioids and opioids based on the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system. All AEs were grouped using System Organ Classes according to the World Health Organization-Adverse Reaction Terminology. Logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with serious AEs. Results Overall, 194,566 AEs (32.2% for nonopioids, 67.8% for opioids) were included in this analysis. The most common causative nonopioid and opioid analgesics was ketorolac (n = 10,789) and tramadol (n = 53,727), respectively. The most frequent AEs were skin and appendage disorders for nonopioids (31.8%) and gastrointestinal disorders (59.5%) for opioids. Serious AEs occurred in 6102 (9.7%) and 3326 (2.5%) cases of the nonopioid and opioid groups, respectively. The most common serious AEs were skin and appendage disorders (33.2%) for nonopioids and neurologic disorders (19.3%) for opioids. Serious AEs were significantly associated with male (odds ratio [OR] = 1.423), advanced age (OR = 1.570), certain causality (OR = 2.304), nonopioid analgesics (OR = 4.182), and polypharmacy (OR = 1.009; P <0.001 for all). Conclusions In Korea, analgesic-induced AEs are prevalent with opioids more commonly implicated. Tramadol is the most common etiologic medication. Serious AEs are more frequently caused by nonopioids with skin and appendage disorders most common.

Several studies have shown support from the public toward the Background. use of medicinal marijuana. In this cross-sectional study, we assess the risk perception to medicinal marijuana in a sample of medical students.To estimate risk perception, a visual scale that ranges from 0 cm Methods. (without risk) to 10 cm (totally risky) was used. Risk perception was expressed as the median of the cm marked over the scale. Differences among groups was tested with the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, as appropriate.283 students participated in the study. Risk perception to medicinal Results. marijuana was 4.22, paracetamol 1.56 and sedatives 5.0. A significant difference in risk perception was observed in those that self-reported to smoke and consume alcohol.Risk perception of medicinal marijuana is 4.22 in medical Conclusions. students of northeast of Mexico. Students may underestimate its adverse effects. More studies with respect to this are needed.
