Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

Update on angiotensin AT2 receptors [PDF]

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2016
This review updates major new findings and concepts introduced during the past year on the role of angiotensin II (Ang II) subtype 2 receptors (AT2Rs) in the control of blood pressure and renal function.AT2R activation prevents sodium (Na) retention and lowers blood pressure in the Ang II infusion model of experimental hypertension and prevents salt ...

Trends in 25 years of antihypertensive agent utilization in Croatia – an alert for scientific community and healthcare providers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Hypertension is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate 25‐year trends in antihypertensive agent (AHA) utilization in Croatia between 2000 and 2024. Methods We conducted a national, population‐based analysis using IMS and IQVIA pharmaceutical databases.

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Active surveillance of drug safety in healthcare data: Sequential monitoring of bacterial and serious urinary tract infection risk in sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor users

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Active surveillance of adverse events using healthcare data is emerging as complementary to the monitoring of spontaneous reports and stand‐alone pharmacoepidemiologic studies. The risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) was listed as a special warning for sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) when marketed in Europe

Increasing the reporting of adverse drug reaction‐related hospitalizations using an ICD‐10‐based identification workflow: A multicentre study from Switzerland

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is essential for drug safety. In Switzerland, healthcare professionals are legally required to report serious and unlabelled ADRs, yet under‐reporting remains widespread. We tested a novel method to increase reporting of ADR‐related hospitalizations.

Impact of empiric potassium supplementation on mortality, sudden cardiac arrest and stroke in furosemide initiators

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim A prior non‐randomized study suggests that potassium supplementation may improve survival among furosemide initiators, and a randomized trial suggests that salt substitutes containing potassium might lower stroke risk. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using health‐care data to confirm or refute these associations among new users of ...
