Background: Comprehensive medication management for older adults requires specific knowledge and skills. Therefore, pharmacy curricula should include appropriate strategies to prepare students for care of this population. This scoping review aimed to identify how geriatric concepts, such as geriatric topics and competencies, are included in pharmacy curricula, and to map current literature on preferred teaching and assessment methods related to geriatric pharmacy education.

Article Synopsis
  • The cell cycle is essential for bacterial reproduction and varies based on the growth environment, showing different behaviors during free-living and symbiotic states.
  • Key regulators, particularly the DivK kinase CbrA, negatively influence CtrA activity and are crucial for symbiosis; genetic mutations can restore normal cell cycle progression.
  • The CckA hybrid histidine kinase, with both kinase and phosphatase functions, plays a significant role in regulating CtrA, highlighting important processes in the cell cycle and symbiotic differentiation of soil bacteria, which are vital for their agricultural relevance.

Introduction: Although antihypertensive medication use is common among frail older adults, observational studies in this population suggest blood pressure (BP) lowering may convey limited benefit and perhaps even harm. This protocol describes an antihypertensive deprescribing trial in frail older adults powered for mortality and morbidity outcomes.

Methods And Analysis: Prospective, parallel, randomised, open-label pragmatic trial.

Background: Older patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) often do not receive optimal pharmacological treatment. Current clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) do not incorporate the concept of personalised care. Clinical decision support (CDS) algorithms that consider both evidence and personalised care to improve patient outcomes can improve the care of older adults.
