Current Status and Future Perspectives of Drug Information Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Each phase is supported by various types of DISs. We distinguish the following types of DISs: compound databases (containing the physico-chemical structural data for the computational drug discovery methods), (pre-)clinical trial databases (containing the raw or aggregate data of (pre-) clinical trials), SmPC databases (containing Summary of Product Characteristics, the source of information visible to nonprofessionals through drug labelling and package inserts), ADR databases (containing data on Adverse Drug Reactions), and CPOE systems (Computerized Physician Order Entry systems, automating the human error-prone parts of the process of the prescribing physician, especially with regard to drug prescription).

A Review on Current Status and Future Potential of Transdermal Patches as a Promising Drug Delivery System
Transdermal patches are now widely used in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS). Up to now, TDDS has been used in several conditions, such as smoking cessation, analgesic effect, nausea, contraception, and hormone therapy. Basically, there are two types of transdermal patches: the reservoir-type patches and the matrix-type patches. First generation TDDS were designed for deliver...
متن کاملHuman 3-D tissue models in radiation biology: current status and future perspectives
In this review, we discuss the use of a variety of 3-D models (particularly 3-D skin, lung, breast and endothelial) in radiobiological research and highlight the differences in responses compared to 2-D culturing conditions (monolayers). We review the characteristics of existing 3-D models and aim to point out the substantial advantages 3-D cultures provide for modern radiobiology. In particula...
متن کاملDown Syndrome: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives
Down syndrome (DS) is a birth defect with huge medical and social costs, caused by trisomy of whole or part of chromosome 21. It is the most prevalent genetic disease worldwide and the common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities appearing in about 1 in 400-1500 newborns. Although the syndrome had been described thousands of years before, it was named after John Langdon Down who described ...
متن کاملA New Reporter Gene Technology: Opportunities and Perspectives
The paper summarizes the current status of the reporter gene technology and their basics. Reporter gene technology is widely used to monitor cellular events associated with gene expression and signal transduction. Based upon the splicing of transcriptional control elements to a variety of reporter genes, it “reports” the effects of a cascade of signaling events on gene expression inside cells. ...
