DOI: https://doi.org/10.23970/AHRQEPCCER225. ii Preface The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), through its Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs), sponsors the development of systematic reviews to assist public- and private-sector organizations in their efforts to improve the quality of health care in the United States. These reviews provide comprehensive, science-based information on common, costly medical conditions, and new health care technologies and strategies. Systematic reviews are the building blocks underlying evidence-based practice; they focus attention on the strength and limits of evidence from research studies about the effectiveness and safety of a clinical intervention. In the context of developing recommendations for practice, systematic reviews can help clarify whether assertions about the value of the intervention are based on strong evidence from clinical studies. For more information about AHRQ EPC systematic reviews, see https://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/about/epc/evidence-synthesis. AHRQ expects that these systematic reviews will be helpful to health plans, providers, purchasers, government programs, and the health care system as a whole. Transparency and stakeholder input are essential to the Effective Health Care Program.

  • 1,4-Benzodiazepine: an Overview of Biological Properties
    Sci. Revs. Chem. Commun.: 5(1), 2015, 13-20 ISSN 2277-2669 1,4-BENZODIAZEPINE: AN OVERVIEW OF BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES IRAM KHAN*, ANUPAMA and BHAWANI SINGHa Department of Chemistry, Banasthali University, BANASTHALI (Raj.) INDIA aDepartment of Pure & Applied Chemistry, University of Kota, KOTA (Raj.) INDIA (Received : 16.02.2015; Accepted : 02.03.2015) ABSTRACT The term benzodiazepine is the chemical name for the heterocyclic ring system, which is a fusion of benzene and diazepine ring systems. 1,4-benzodiazepine is related with a huge range of biological properties. These ring systems are incorporated into drugs used for AIDS, cancer, anti-viral treatment etc. 1,4-benzodiazepine derivatives are well established in the literature as important biologically active compounds. They have a long history of application in agrochemicals and pharmaceutical industry as herbicides and active pharmaceuticals. 1,4-benzodiazepine and their numerous derivatives have continued to capture the concentration of chemists since their existence in the biologically active materials have been known to produce additive effect on the bio-efficacy of the molecules. Key words: 1,4-benzodiazepine, anti-viral, bio-efficacy. INTRODUCTION History of benzodiazepines was started after the discovery of diazepam (Fig. 1) in 1955 by Leo Sternbach. From that day the research on 1,4- benzodiazepine nucleus is continue. There is a lots of drugs having 1,4-benzodiazepine nucleus. 1,4-Benzodiazepine nucleus containing drugs mostly used for the treatment of anxiety, but they also are useful in treating several other conditions in human. It is a most common prescribed drug for CNS disorders. Benzodiazepines affect a neurotransmitter chemical, gamma- aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is used by nerves to communicate with one another1.

  • Outcome Measurements in Economic Evaluations of Drug Misuse Interventions
    Outcome Measurements in Economic Evaluations of Drug Misuse Interventions Ching-Wen Chang A thesis submitted as fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Health Sciences University of York September 2010 To my grandfather 2 Abstract This thesis critically evaluates the measurement of outcomes in economic evaluations of drug misuse interventions. Three different aspects of measuring outcomes are examined: one focusing on non-monetary outcomes at the individual patient level; one focusing on monetary outcomes within studies using individual patient level data; and one focusing on long-term outcomes, both monetary and non-monetary. The many limitations of measuring these outcomes in existing economic evaluations of drug misuse interventions are exposed and the problems with conducting such studies are identified. The importance of this thesis is thus in providing an overview and methodological critique of the extant economic evaluations of drug misuse interventions. In addition a decision analytic model for a drug testing in schools programme is developed to illustrate how the limitations highlighted in the methodological critique might be addressed by future research. The findings of the thesis reveal the problems with using EQ-5D as a generic outcome measure for economic evaluations of drug misuse interventions, as is recommended by NICE in the UK. The nature of drug misuse problems requires that a wide range of different measures, including drug misuse specific measures, must be taken into account when evaluating drug misuse interventions. Similarly, the limitations with existing studies that attempt to estimate the monetary outcome of drug misuse interventions are exposed, as many studies fail to take into account all of the costs that will determine the monetary impact of an intervention for society.

Design Secondary analysis of a randomized trial. Setting Copenhagen, Denmark. Participants One hundred and three patients from the CapOpus trial with cannabis use disorder and psychosis, providing 239 self-reports of cannabis use and 88 valid blood samples. Measurements Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 11-hydroxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-THC) and 11-nor-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9- carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) detected in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection. Self-report of cannabis-use last month by TLFB. Pearson’s r, sensitivity and specificity calcu- lated as measures of correlation or agreement. Findings Correlations were strong; r = 0.75 for number of days and r = 0.83 for number of standard joints in the preceding month when excluding outliers. Including outliers, coefficients were moderate to strong (r = 0.49). There were differences in subgroups, mainly inconsistent, depending on inclusion or exclusion of outliers.
