The gap between legal rules and practice in advertising non-registered pharmaceutical products. A new method of analysis.

The market of non-registered pharmaceutical products is growing fast in number and overall costs, not only in the Netherlands, but also in other European countries. These products often give the impression that the consumer may expect 'an effect as from a drug'. Legally, there is a clear distinction between 'drugs' and 'commodities' in the Netherlands; the question is whether legislation and practice concur. In an investigation we analysed texts of advertisements for non-registered pharmaceutical products published in a popular magazine. A method was developed, based on the legal definition of a drug and jurisprudence, to determine in a qualitative and quantitative way the application of medicinal claims. It transpired that in 65% of the analysed advertisements explicit or implicit claims were made. These products should therefore be subject to drugs legislation. Thus, in the Netherlands there is a gap between legislation and practice in advertising non-registered pharmaceutical products.

Contraception or abortion? Inaccurate descriptions of emergency contraception in newspaper articles, 1992-2002.

BACKGROUND: Media portrayals of emergency contraception (EC) may influence public health policy and the public's acceptance of this reproductive health option. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the accuracy of newspaper coverage of EC, 1992-2002. METHODS: We conducted a content analysis of a sample of 1077 articles in 113 newspapers discussing both EC and abortion and determined the frequency of confusion between the two. RESULTS: Of all articles, 44.5% (n = 479) included at least one instance of confusion between EC and medical abortion. Inaccurate portrayal of the mode of action of EC as medical abortion occurred in 31.8% (n = 343) of articles; 13.1% (n = 141) inappropriately applied terms such as "abortifacient postcoital contraceptives" for EC. CONCLUSIONS: Errors were prevalent, persisted over time and may have contributed to incorrect beliefs about a form of contraception that is used infrequently, despite its potential to deter unintended pregnancy and abortion.

Defining "disasters" with implications for nursing scholarship and practice.

Nurses have long been a part of disaster care, yet the nurses' unique approaches to disaster victims have not been reported in the nursing literature. This situation raises the questions, "How does disaster nursing differ than general nursing?" and "What defines the specialty care of disaster nursing?" An analysis of the term "disaster" and the concepts that have been used to build a theoretic base for disaster nursing are presented.

Legal issues in pain management: striking the balance.

The momentum over the past several years resulting in positive change to state pain policy is encouraging, especially as the medical community meets greater expectations from patients for appropriate pain management. As the trend for increased medical use of opioid medications continue it is important that medical professionals continue to work with government officials to ensure efforts to curb drug abuse do not impede patient access to pain management. Essential to maintaining that balance is an expansion of scholarly work supporting the medical use of opioids and promotion of research through educational activities. In 2004, the Mayday Project at ASLME will host a national conference, with an emphasis on pain management in the emergency department. The previous noted success of Mayday Project activities should give all of us hope that through scholarly activity further guidance will be provided in finding that critical balance between effective pain management and drug diversion.

Bipolar disorder as an emerging pathology in the scientific literature: a bibliometric approach.

BACKGROUND: To carry out a bibliometric study on the scientific publications in relation to bipolar disorder. METHODS: Using the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases, we selected those documents whose title included the descriptors bipolar disorder, bipolar illness, bipolar patient, bipolar mani, bipolar depress, bipolar spectrum, manic-depressive, and rapid cycling. We applied some bibliometric indicators, as Price's Law on the increase of scientific literature, or the participation index (PI) of the different countries. The bibliometric data have also been correlated with some social and health data from the countries that are most prolific in biomedical scientific production, such as number of physicians, total per capita expenditure on health and overall volume of production in the field of psychiatry. RESULTS: A total of 4270 original documents published between 1980 and 2004 were downloaded, of which 1825 corresponded to aspects related to drug therapy. Our results state fulfilment of Price's Law, with scientific production on bipolar disorder showing exponential growth (correlation coefficient r = 0.947, as against an r = 0.849 after linear adjustment). The drugs most widely studied are lithium (1351 documents), valproate (544), carbamazepine (493), lamotrigine (240), and olanzapine (210). United States is the most productive country (participation index, PI = 44.2), followed by the United Kingdom (14.4), Netherlands (9.1) and France (4.1). CONCLUSION: The publications on bipolar disorder and mood stabilizers have undergone exponential growth over the last 25 years, without evidence a saturation point.
