Pharma, Pharmaceutics and Biotechnology Conference

Clinical and medical case reports are important in the field of medicine. These details give descriptions of individual cases to make up the larger knowledge of the disease process, outcome of treatment, and the difficulty involved with the practice of medicine. Such reports are the fundamental basis for movement forward in medical knowledge, education, and the derivation of evidence-based practices. Case reports are the description of a single patient or a few cases with single presentations that may be one of the rarest diseases or an unpredictable response to a treatment.

They provide the reader with perception into clinical decision making, diagnostic dilemmas, and the success of intervention; hence, they are priceless for health care givers. The real-life examples facilitate bridging the gap between theory and practice, which is useful both in teaching medical students, residents, and practitioners. What is thus one major benefit to using case reports, namely, a focus on rare or unusual presentations that might otherwise not get recognized in larger studies.

This is the great beauty of case reports: new disease associations are discovered, variations in disease presentation emerge, and novel therapeutic approaches appear. For example, if there is documentation of a case report on an unexpected drug reaction, this could create a review of its safety profile which, in turn, impacts treatment protocols and hence clinical guidelines. Besides the educational point of view, case reports are a prominent element in study research.

They allow for hypothesizing to then be tested by further studies. Therefore, it serves more than any other source in formulating clinical practices. This could even garner more attention to an emerging medical issue. Medical science has experienced many significant contributions and discovery through case reports, hence, giving them a vital position in ongoing medical science progress.

A clinical case report is written according to set guidelines and structures so that it is clear, relevant, and scientifically rigorous. Generally, elements that have been found to be included in a case report are detailed patient history, clinical findings, diagnostic evaluations, treatment interventions, and follow-up outcomes. The preparation of case reports also involves an ethical aspect-that is, involving patient consent and confidentiality.

In this session, attendees will learn how case reports are an important part of the practice of clinical and medical medicine, especially as it relates to education, research, and evidence-based practice. A case report best practice related to a current issue, new innovation, or practice within an employee's current setting will be discussed, along with ethical considerations and the influence these reports can have on clinical guidelines and patient care.

Through reviewing excellent case reports, participants will be led into the art and science of documenting clinical experiences that could enrich the minds of the medical community in dealing with complex health issues.
