WHO has declared that Antimicrobial Resistance is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials are the main drivers in the development of drug-resistant pathogens. Penicillin-resistant pneumococci, multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, methicillin-resistant and S. aureus (MRSA) are the most common antibiotic-resistant bacteria examples in hospital settings. Why do clinicians prescribe antibiotics inappropriately? We know — but do not always follow — established clinical guidelines for appropriate antibiotic use. Let us reiterate on the consequences with a case-by-case understanding of How to Avoid Inappropriate Antimicrobial use with Dr. Tushar Shah!

How to Avoid Inappropriate use of Antimicrobials?

Old age is commonly associated with multiple illnesses, as well as with altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for example, delayed renal elimination of drugs and increased sensitivity to anticholinergic and sedating effects. Certain drugs are classified as potentially inappropriate medications for the elderly because they carry an increased risk of adverse drug events in this patient group. Let's understand how can we (not) harm geriatric patients seriously with none other than the most zealous creator of Medflix - Dr. Tushar Shah in his #BlockBuster live.

10 Ways (Not) to Seriously Harm a Geriatric Patient

After the 'Wizards of Medicine' comes the quiz on symptomatology with Dr. Tushar Shah. Join us for a really fascinating session when knowledge is put to the test and new ideas are learned all at once!

Symptomatology Quiz #1

Seasonal fevers strike several regions of India during the post-monsoon season every year. These fevers include those that cause very high morbidity and mortality rates, such as Dengue, Malaria, Scrub Typhus, Leptospirosis, and Typhoid fever. Due to single or multiple organ failure, a significant portion of these patients need intensive care unit (ICU) care like mechanical breathing, renal replacement therapy, vasopressor support, blood and blood component therapy. When there is a limited amount of time for action, the clinical presentation of these diseases is so similar that it is practically difficult to distinguish between them in emergency and intensive care settings.

Influenza seems to be the flavor of the month! H1N1 Swine flu is a subtype of influenza A virus, which causes upper, and potentially, lower respiratory tract infections in the host it infects, resulting in symptoms such as nasal secretions, chills, fever, decreased appetite, and possibly lower respiratory tract disease. H1N1 swine influenza is a common infection in pigs worldwide, and that is why it is also known as swine flu. Join us LIVE on MEDFLIX as Dr. Tushar Shah discusses the presentation, evaluation, and management of H1N1 influenza.

And now...H1N1 Influenza!

A drug interaction is a reaction between two (or more) drugs or between a drug and a food, beverage, or supplement. Taking a drug while having certain medical conditions can also cause a drug interaction. Drug interactions occur on pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic levels. Examples of pharmacodynamic interactions are simultaneous administration of a NSAID and phenprocoumon (additive interaction), or of aspirin and ibuprofen (antagonistic interaction). Pharmacokinetic interactions occur at the levels of absorption (e.g., levothyroxine and neutralizing antacids), elimination (e.g., digoxin and macrolides), and metabolism, as in the competition for cytochrome P450 enzymes (e.g., SSRIs and certain beta-blockers). The systematic knowledge of drug interaction, in particular on the level of absorption, elimination, transport and drug metabolism may help to prevent adverse effects.Join us live with Medflix blockbuster faculty Dr. Tushar Shah for this interesting discussion.
