Applying the Andersen behavioral model to the medication therapy management program: an approach for improving medication safety in older adults.

Medication therapy problems (MTPs) are common among older adults and are associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The Medicare Part D Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program, which includes Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs), Targeted Medication Reviews (TMRs), and guidance on safe medication disposal, is designed to optimize therapeutic outcomes and reduce adverse events by addressing MTPs. Although this program has demonstrated success in reducing MTPs, its utilization remains low, with ongoing concerns about service access disparities, patient satisfaction, and long-term health outcomes.

Rapid multiplex PCR panel for pneumonia in hospitalised patients with suspected pneumonia in the USA: a single-centre, open-label, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial.

Background: The clinical utility of rapid multiplex respiratory specimen PCR panels for pneumonia for patients with suspected pneumonia is undefined. We aimed to compare the effect of the BioFire FilmArray pneumonia panel (bioMérieux, Salt Lake City, UT, USA) with standard of care testing on antibiotic use in a real-world hospital setting.

Methods: We conducted a single-centre, open-label, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.

Association of volatile substance, nitrous oxide and alkyl nitrate use with mental health in UK adolescents.

Background: 'Inhalants' have been associated with poorer mental health in adolescence, but little is known of associations with specific types of inhalants.

Aims: We aimed to investigate associations of using volatile substances, nitrous oxide and alkyl nitrates with mental health problems in adolescence.

Method: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from 13- to 14-year-old adolescents across England and Wales collected between September 2019 and March 2020.

Predictors of Postoperative Urinary Incontinence After Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) for Surgeons Early in Their Experience.

Objectives: To evaluate factors impacting continence recovery following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for surgeons early in their HoLEP experience.

Methods: Predefined factors were evaluated from a prospectively maintained database for their impact on the recovery of continence after HoLEP. Both surgeons had performed fewer than 150 HoLEPs as attending physicians.
