In the process of determining if a drug is valuable enough to be included in a hospital's pharmacotherapeutic repertoire many factors should be taken into account. In order to develop a guide, the methodology of different appraisal working groups and similar methodological documents published by Health Technology Assessment agencies have been taken into account. We recommend that reports are structured with the following headings: Medication/Description/Authorised indication; Description of the disease; Pathology reference treatment; Evaluation of efficacy and safety (Bibliographic search, Quality assessment, Efficacy and safety results); Assessment of ethical, organisational, social and legal aspects; Strengths and limitations of available evidence; Pharmacoeconomic evaluation; and Key points. This guide to evaluate technologies may be used as a tool in decision-making scenarios related to health innovation. It could be used by hospital pharmacists and by clinicians, health system professionals and public services advisors.

Introduction: Exercise-based physiotherapy is an established treatment of rotator cuff injury. Objective assessment of at-home exercise is critical to understand its relationship with clinical outcomes. This study uses the Smart Physiotherapy Activity Recognition System to measure at-home physiotherapy participation in patients with rotator cuff injury based on inertial sensor data captured from smart watches.

Most antibiotics are ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria owing to the existence of the outer membrane (OM) barrier. The rational design of compounds to expand their antibacterial spectra of antibiotics solely targeting Gram-positive pathogens remains challenging. Here, the design of skeletons from natural products to penetrate the OM are deciphered.
