The goal of this project was to specify and develop an algorithm that will check for drug and problem list mismatches in an electronic medical record (EMR). The algorithm is based on the premise that a patient's problem list and medication list should agree, and a mismatch may indicate medication error. Successful development of this algorithm could mean detection of some errors, such as medica...

Silymarin protects the structure of kidney in the neonatal rats exposed to maternal cadmium toxicity: A stereological study
