LGBTQ+ health research guides: a multi-institutional analysis of usage patterns and user information needs.

Objective: LGBTQ+ health research guides can strengthen the LGBTQ+ community through connecting people to quality health services and information, and previous studies have recommended that health sciences libraries create and maintain these guides. Little evidence exists, though, on how these guides are used and how well they meet the needs of LGBTQ+ users. Using retrospective data retrieved from multiple LGBTQ+ health research guides, we examined the categories of LGBTQ+ health information most used, as well as how often guides were accessed.

Residual limb support devices on wheelchairs for people with transtibial amputations: A scoping review and survey of rehabilitation professionals in Nova Scotia.

Methods: Scoping review of published and gray literature using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews as a guide and an anonymous online and paper-based clinician survey.

Results: We identified 22 publications meeting criteria for review.

Quantification and characterization of plastics in near-shore surface waters of Atlantic Canada.

Plastics are a ubiquitous pollutant in the marine environment. Despite growing concerns, quantitative and qualitative data on microplastics in aquatic and marine environments of Atlantic Canada is just emerging. Surface water plastics were measured and categorized by morphology (thread, microfibre, fragment, foam, film, pellet, and microbead) in two locations in Nova Scotia and one in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Diagnostic accuracy of Kleihauer-Betke (Kb) testing to predict fetal outcomes associated with fetomaternal hemorrhage: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic and screening utility of Kleihauer-Betke (KB) testing as a triage tool in predicting adverse fetal outcomes associated with fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH).

Study Design: Single center retrospective cohort study evaluated a primary composite outcome of fetal complications associated with FMH between KB-negative and KB-positive test groups. Screening tests for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were determined.

Pharmacist Transition-of-Care Services Improve Patient Satisfaction and Decrease Hospital Readmissions.

Background: Pharmacists ability to directly impact patient satisfaction through increases in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys utilizing transitions-of-care (TOC) services is unclear.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of TOC patients from 07/01/2018 to 03/31/2019 was conducted. Intervention (INV) patients received pharmacist medication reconciliation and education prior to discharge and post-discharge telephone follow-up.

Effectiveness of the Wheelchair Skills Training Program: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review synthesizing the evidence for the effectiveness of the Wheelchair Skills Training Program (WSTP).

Data Sources: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL and Embase databases, as well as grey literature, up to 10 October 2017.

Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effectiveness of the WSTP.

Atypical Presentation of Sarcoidosis on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT.

On (18)F-FDG PET, inflammatory processes can be one of the most confounding factors for interpretation, particularly when the presentation of the process is atypical, as it was in the case of sarcoidosis reported here. Clinicians should be aware that sarcoidosis may mimic lung malignancies and lymphomas, regardless of typical or atypical appearance on (18)F-FDG PET.

Basic life support and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for pharmacy students and the community by a pharmacy student committee.

Objective: To create a self-sufficient, innovative method for providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education within a college of pharmacy using a student-driven committee, and disseminating CPR education into the community through a service learning experience.

Design: A CPR committee comprised of doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students at the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy provided CPR certification to all pharmacy students. The committee developed a service learning project by providing CPR training courses in the community.
