Pharmacy Students' Self-Reported Cultural Competence in a Pharmacy Curriculum by Academic Year.

Objective: This study aims to explore the results of a Cultural Competency Assessment of Pharmacy Students (CCAPS) survey to identify areas where cultural competence content in one college of pharmacy curriculum can be improved.

Methods: The 39-item CCAPS survey was developed and administered to Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students from July 2022 (after the end of the didactic curriculum and at the beginning of experiential rotations for fourth-year students) to October 2022 (at the beginning of the fall semester for first-year, second-year, and third-year students). Self-perception of cultural competency items were selected from the Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument and the Clinical Cultural Competency Questionnaire items.

Implementation and Evaluation of Clinical Decision Support for Apixaban Dosing in a Community Teaching Hospital.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe and evaluate the transition from a specialty service-based prospective order approval system to a computerized clinical decision support (CCDS) tool for apixaban dosing at a community teaching hospital. The primary objective was to assess the impact of the transition on the appropriateness of apixaban prescribing.

Methods: A CCDS tool for apixaban dosing was developed and implemented using interprofessional collaboration.

Using Data Science Tools to Reveal and Understand Subtle Relationships of Inhibitor Structure in Frontal Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

The rate of frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) using the Grubbs generation II catalyst is impacted by both the concentration and choice of monomers and inhibitors, usually organophosphorus derivatives. Herein we report a data-science-driven workflow to evaluate how these factors impact both the rate of FROMP and how long the formulation of the mixture is stable (pot life). Using this workflow, we built a classification model using a single-node decision tree to determine how a simple phosphine structural descriptor () can bin long versus short pot life.

Changes in Time in Therapeutic Range Within a Warfarin Anticoagulation Clinic Following Introduction of Direct Oral Anticoagulants.

As direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have become widely recommended as first-line anticoagulation therapy, patients who remain on warfarin are likely those unable to afford, adhere to, or utilize DOAC therapy due to the presence of a contraindication. It is currently unknown how availability of DOACs have affected populations being managed at warfarin (VKA) anticoagulation clinics. This was a retrospective chart review assessing warfarin-treated patients at an outpatient anticoagulation clinic.

Exploring the immunological relevance of pre-transplant donor-specific antibody in intestinal transplantation, with special consideration to the liver.

Despite recent advances that have improved outcomes following intestinal transplantation (ITx), achieving long-term patient survival and rejection-free survival is still challenging. Understanding the relevance of pre-transplant human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibody (DSA) in ITx and the immunomodulatory potential of the liver within the allograft is crucial to providing an accurate assessment of pre-transplant immunological risk, which could influence and improve post-transplant outcomes further. This was the primary objective of this retrospective study of 95 adult ITx transplants which took place at Cambridge University Hospitals (United Kingdom) between 2007 and 2019.
