01 Jan 2015TL;DR: The use of drugs in Western societies has been associated with male gender roles and behaviors and is poorly regarded in female behavior.
Abstract: The use of drugs in Western societies has been associated with male gender roles and behaviours, being poorly regarded in female behaviour. For males, drug use has most often been regarded as a risk behaviour, a deviation or an illness when serious consequences for health have arisen. On the other hand, for women, drug use has been viewed as a vice, a disease, a response to female problems or disorders and, above all, a transgression of women’s traditional roles.

Abstract: 이 글은 확산하는 마약류범죄에 대처하기 위해 마약류범죄의 수사와 관련된 형사법적 여러 논점에 대하여 살펴본다. 마약류범죄 수사를 위한 함정수사는 범의유발이라는 주관적 기준보다는 규범적·상황적 적정성이라는 객관적 기준으로 허용하되, 여기에는 마약류범죄의 특성을 고려한 필요성이 적극적으로 고려되어야 하며, 이러한 취지에서 위장수사나 온라인 수색과 같은 새로운 수사기법의 도입이 적극 고려되어야 한다. 아울러 현행 마약류관리법은 범죄구성요건을 중심으로 재정비하되 공급범죄와 수요범죄를 분리하여 규정하는 등의 개선이 필요하다.

TL;DR: A meta‐analysis of 26 studies that employed focused medication review with a goal of appropriate de‐prescribing reported significant reductions in the number of psychotropic drugs after the reviews, but there was little evidence of decreased incidence of adverse drug reactions or lower drug costs.
Abstract: Psychotropic polypharmacy, the concurrent use of two or more psychotropic drugs in the same patient, is a common practice in treating patients with psychiatric disorders. Such practices risk an increase in the incidence of drug interaction and adverse effects, as well as a decrease in medication adherence. A meta‐analysis of 26 studies that employed focused medication review with a goal of appropriate de‐prescribing reported significant reductions in the number of psychotropic drugs after the reviews, but there was little evidence of decreased incidence of adverse drug reactions or lower drug costs.

TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of psychotropic drug interactions, and it is vital that physicians understand pharmacologic principles when prescribing more than one drug.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of psychotropic drug interactions. Psychotropic polypharmacy has developed and continued largely out of clinical experience. Physicians have prescribed combinations of drugs in the hope of alleviating clinical symptoms resistant to single medications. Although some drug combinations are desirable and efficacious, most are of limited usefulness and are potentially hazardous. Drug interactions can occur by changes in absorption, excretion, metabolism, or plasma protein-binding effects, and by blocked transport and changes in drug mediator activity. Some drug interactions produce clinical responses directly contrary to those intended; consequently, it is vital that physicians understand pharmacologic principles when prescribing more than one drug. As interactions among most drugs are unknown or only partially known, polypharmacy should be regarded primarily as investigational. Despite the fact that current evidence indicates that most drug combinations are no more effective than drugs used singly, many physicians continue to prescribe polydrug regimens. The rationale behind this practice is that lower doses of two drugs may be more potent therapeutically and may cause fewer side effects than higher doses of one drug. Surveys of prescribing trends, however, indicate that doses of drugs used in combination tend to be higher than doses of the same drugs used individually. Furthermore, two drugs, even at lower doses, appear to cause more side effects than a higher dose of a single drug. Until further research clarifies possible drug interactions, physicians should limit the number of psychotropic drugs administered simultaneously.
