Study Design: An online survey was disseminated through the Association of Academic Directors of Neonatology to appraise clinical usage, infrastructure, and training for cPOCUS. A single response per center was obtained.
Article Synopsis
- - Protoporphyria, a type of porphyria, causes extreme skin reactions to certain light wavelengths, but patients typically avoid sunlight rather than phototherapy.
- - A case report details a neonate who, unbeknownst to have X-linked protoporphyria, experienced severe complications after brief phototherapy, including a rash, acute liver failure, and respiratory issues.
- - This situation highlights the need for healthcare providers to promptly recognize and address unusual reactions to phototherapy in neonates, considering protoporphyria as a possible cause.
Implementing 5 evidence-based learning principles into the pharmacy law course.
Curr Pharm Teach Learn

The overwhelming majority of states require pharmacists to pass the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE) prior to licensure, and student performance in the pharmacy law course is the biggest predictor of success on the MPJE.

Evidence-based learning strategies are well described in the literature, including: (1) practice testing, (2) distributed practice, (3) interleaved practice, (4) self-explanation, and (5) interrogative elaboration, and an opportunity may exist to implement them into the pharmacy law course.
