“…Clinicians often felt frustrated about this patient demand, knowing that it came from sources they did not regard as authoritative, such as mass media or patient social circles. However, it is far from unprecedented to see patient demand drive physician practice (Hahn, Morley, Morrow, & Epling, 2009). The decision is often made to order testing because of time "I did some screening, and then I got nasty notes from the lab saying that insurance wasn't going to pay for it."…”

The establishment of practice patterns concerning the diagnosis and management of hypovitaminosis D seems to be heterogeneous among primary care physicians. We conducted a qualitative study to explore the emerging practices among primary care providers regarding screening and treatment for hypovitaminosis D, as well as factors that influence practice patterns. Trained researchers facilitated focus groups among primary care providers. We followed a grounded theory approach to transcript coding and analysis using ATLAS.ti analysis software. Testing or screening for hypovitaminosis D and subsequent replacement or supplementation practices varied among participants. Emerging practice concerning vitamin D appears to be constructed and reinforced by patient demand; incidental reading; brief, purposeful research; conversations with colleagues; results of consultations by specialists; and more patient demand. A multifaceted approach to promoting guideline adherence will be required to influence this practice.

Antimicrobial resistance has increased drastically in recent years in the developing countries, and it has rapidly become a leading public health concern. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance varies greatly between and within countries and between different pathogens. However, overall a trend to the increase of the resistance to those antimicrobial agents more often used in these countries has been observed. Several factors can contribute to the rapid emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. In this paper, the current antimicrobial resistance in different microorganisms from different countries as well as the factors contributing to the emergence and spread of resistance in developing countries will be reviewed.
