Professional self-actualisation of pharmacist in the United Arab Emirates: a pilot study.
J Pharm Policy Pract
January 2025
Objective: This pilot study evaluated the professional self-actualisation (PSA) of pharmacists in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) across various practice settings.
Methods: Our study was conducted in the UAE from February to May 2024 and targeted pharmacists in hospitals, community pharmacies, industry, and academia. A PSA questionnaire was developed using validated instruments and expert input, and included items on professional fulfilment (PF), societal acceptance (SA), work environment (WE), autonomy and professional opportunities (APO), involvement in professional advocacy (IPA), and the impact of work on personal relationships (IWPR).
Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare congenital vascular malformation, which was first described by Knight in 1921 as an anomalous vein that lies in front of the duodenum, common bile duct, and hepatic artery instead of beneath them. This abnormal position may result in congenital duodenal obstruction and puts it in danger during operations around this region. PDPV is typically associated with other congenital anomalies, mainly intraabdominal and cardiac ones.

Currently, the pathogenesis of ALD and the anti-ALD mechanisms have not been fully elucidated yet. In this study, we investigated the effects of endoplasmic reticulum autophagy (ER-phagy) in ALD and the role of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) in ER stress-mediated ER-phagy.

- Teratomas are rare germ cell tumors that originate from totipotent stem cells, with retroperitoneal types being particularly uncommon and primary adrenal ones even more so, especially in kids.
- A nine-month-old girl had a growing abdomen, and imaging revealed a large mass near her right adrenal gland, which was confirmed as a mature adrenal teratoma after surgery.
- Diagnosing primary adrenal teratomas in children is challenging and heavily relies on imaging and pathology, highlighting the need to include them in differential diagnoses for adrenal masses in pediatric patients.
Background: Drug-related problems (DRPs) significantly threaten the safety of the elderly. In order to improve pharmacists' ability to minimize these events, novel educational interventions that consider the current challenges in clinical practice are crucial.
Objectives: The primary objective is to assess the impact of two unique educational interventions on pharmacists' ability to identify DRPs.
