Diabetes Care in A Safety Net Hospital: Impact of a Pharmacist Transitional Care Service.

Diabetes is associated with increased risk of hospital readmission and imposes a significant economic burden on patients and healthcare systems. Literature suggests that pharmacist-led transitions-of-care (TOC) services reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes and data within safety-net hospitals is limited. This was a single-center evaluation to assess the impact of pharmacist-led diabetes TOC services on hospital readmissions among diabetes patients vs standard care (SC).

Competing intermolecular interactions in some 'bridge-flipped' isomeric phenylhydrazones.

To examine the roles of competing intermolecular interactions in differentiating the molecular packing arrangements of some isomeric phenylhydrazones from each other, the crystal structures of five nitrile-halogen substituted phenylhydrazones and two nitro-halogen substituted phenylhydrazones have been determined and are described here: (E)-4-cyanobenzaldehyde 4-chlorophenylhydrazone, C(14)H(10)ClN(3), (Ia); (E)-4-cyanobenzaldehyde 4-bromophenylhydrazone, C(14)H(10)BrN(3), (Ib); (E)-4-cyanobenzaldehyde 4-iodophenylhydrazone, C(14)H(10)IN(3), (Ic); (E)-4-bromobenzaldehyde 4-cyanophenylhydrazone, C(14)H(10)BrN(3), (IIb); (E)-4-iodobenzaldehyde 4-cyanophenylhydrazone, C(14)H(10)IN(3), (IIc); (E)-4-chlorobenzaldehyde 4-nitrophenylhydrazone, C(13)H(10)ClN(3)O(2), (III); and (E)-4-nitrobenzaldehyde 4-chlorophenylhydrazone, C(13)H(10)ClN(3)O(2), (IV). Both (Ia) and (Ib) are disordered (less than 7% of the molecules have the minor orientation in each structure). Pairs (Ia)/(Ib) and (IIb)/(IIc), related by a halogen exchange, are isomorphous, but none of the 'bridge-flipped' isomeric pairs, viz.
