Miscellaneous antibiotics
Learning goals Compare and contrast the mechanism of action and spectrum of activity of the glycopeptides (e.g., vancomycin), the lipopeptides (e.g., daptomycin), and beta-lactams Describe the common clinical uses, adverse effects, and monitoring for vancomycin and daptomycin Describe the mechanism of action, spectrum of activity, common clinical uses, and adverse effects of the fluoroquinolones Describe […]
The use of interim analysis during a randomized controlled trial
In this MEDSCHLR 500, we will discuss the findings from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 052 trial, which showed that antiretroviral therapy (ART) prevented more than 96% of genetically linked infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Learning goals Describe the use of interim analysis during a clinical trial Describe the function […]

Development and utilization of clinical guidelines
In previous sessions you have learned to read and critically appraise primary research papers. This session turns to a different type of document: the clinical practice guideline. Guidelines occupy a unique place in medicine—they are how research gets translated into decisions at the bedside. Understanding where a guideline comes from, whether it was built well, […]
