Impact of a resident-driven wellbeing committee on resident-perceived wellbeing, burnout, and resilience.

Background: Limited data exists to guide strategies that reduce risks of burnout amongst pharmacy residents.

Objective: The primary objective of this analysis was to characterize wellbeing, burnout, and resiliency among pharmacy residents. The secondary objective was to assess the impact of a resident-run wellbeing committee on wellbeing, burnout, and resiliency.

Droxidopa in the Management of Hepatorenal Syndrome.

PurposeHepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is renal dysfunction associated with the hemodynamic consequences of advanced liver disease and cirrhosis. HRS is associated with a high mortality, and there remain high failure rates with first-line therapy aimed at improving perfusion. We report the use of droxidopa, an oral norepinephrine precursor, to aid in the management of HRS-AKI refractory to first-line therapy.

Minimizing cost associated with management of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: A cost analysis of various laboratory testing models.

Introduction: Management of patients with suspected heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can lead to significant costs. Reported cost-saving initiatives have focused on minimizing inappropriate testing in low-risk patients and optimizing alternative anticoagulant selection. We sought to further investigate how utilizing various HIT laboratory testing models would impact total cost of testing and alternative anticoagulant use.
