2023 Update to the American College of Clinical Pharmacy Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit.

Introduction: The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit has been used by colleges and schools of pharmacy as a guide for curricular development and revisions since its inaugural publication in 2009. The toolkit was last revised and updated by the 2019 Publications Committee.

Objectives: The 2023 ACCP Publications Committee was charged with reviewing the 2019 Update to the ACCP Pharmacotherapy Didactic Curriculum Toolkit to determine any necessary revisions/updates.

Isotope hydrology tools in the assessment of arsenic contamination in groundwater: An overview.

Groundwater is important for the survival of humanity and the demand for the same is drastically increasing globally. The precious water resources are under constant threat, either as a result of natural processes or due to the influence of the anthropogenic activities. Arsenic contamination of groundwater is one of those threats that have affected approximately over 500 million people in 107 countries globally.

Application of radon (Rn) as an environmental tracer in hydrogeological and geological investigations: An overview.

Radon (Rn) is a colourless, odourless, inert, and radioactive noble gas (t = 3.8 days) that emanates from rocks and soils as a result of the alpha decay of its parent, radium (Ra) in the decay series of uranium-238, is the focus of this study. Radon is produced in the crystal lattice of the minerals and emanates out through alpha recoil.

Factors controlling the distribution of radon (Rn) in groundwater of a tropical mountainous river basin in southwest India.

Studies on occurrence of radon in the environment are receiving growing attention worldwide due to its adverse impact on human health. Despite that, the dissolved radon in water is found to be a useful tracer in many hydrogeological studies. Although, several studies focused on the occurrence of high Rn in groundwater, the processes responsible for its variation is still not well understood.

Evaluation of radiation dose from radon ingestion and inhalation in groundwater of a small tropical river basin, Kerala, India.

A comprehensive study was conducted to understand the radon (Rn) distribution and associated radiation doses to the public in a small tropical river basin partly set in the western slope of the Southern Western Ghats of Kerala, India. Radon, though detected in all the 71 monitored wells (0.17-68.

Distribution of environmental tritium in rivers, groundwater, mine water and precipitation in Goa, India.

Tritium concentration in rivers, groundwater, precipitation and mine pits water, all over Goa state was characterized to find out spatial and temporal variability of tritium. Twenty four water samples were collected during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon and analyzed for their tritium concentration. The mean tritium concentration in surface and sub-surface hydrosphere is 2.

Estimation of snow and glacier melt contribution to Liddar stream in a mountainous catchment, western Himalaya: an isotopic approach.

Snow- and glacier-dominated catchments in the Himalayas are important sources of fresh water to more than one billion people. However, the contribution of snowmelt and glacier melt to stream flow remains largely unquantified in most parts of the Himalayas. We used environmental isotopes and geochemical tracers to determine the source water and flow paths of stream flow draining the snow- and glacier-dominated mountainous catchment of the western Himalaya.

Cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus in semen of homosexual men.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of serology to predict the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in semen of homosexual men without and with HIV coinfection.

Design: Semen CMV was detected by electron microscopy and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification; paired serum was tested for CMV IgG/IgM. Semen HIV was detected by reverse transcription-PCR.

Calibration and validation of far field dilution models for outfall at Worli, Mumbai.

The city of Mumbai, India with a population of 15 million discharges about 2225 MLD of domestic wastewater after partial treatment to adjoining marine water body. Under the Mumbai Sewage Disposal Project Scheme, sewage is being disposed to the west coast at Worli and Bandra through 3.4 kms long submarine outfalls.
