Article Synopsis
- Tinnitus affects about 25% of older adults, with non-pulsatile tinnitus usually lacking structural causes, while pulsatile tinnitus may indicate underlying health issues that can be identified through imaging.
- A thorough clinical evaluation is essential for determining the appropriate diagnostic strategy and imaging is warranted for unilateral non-pulsatile tinnitus or any pulsatile tinnitus cases.
- Imaging methods like MRI or CT are used based on the type of tinnitus and any accompanying symptoms, with special attention needed for potential serious conditions in cases of pulsatile tinnitus.
Objective: To identify a consensus among pharmacy educators regarding relevant social/administrative science (SAS) topic areas and their priorities within pharmacy curricula.
Methods: A modified Delphi process was conducted with members of selected American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) affinity groups as the expert panel. Eighty-three potential topic areas across 12 domains were gathered via an informal literature review.
Background: The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities (COEPA) recognize the need for social determinants of health (SDH) education for pharmacy learners. However, there is a dearth of published strategies for incorporating comprehensive SDH education in Doctor of Pharmacy curricula. The objectives of this study were to: 1) highlight unpublished exemplars of SDH teaching models and 2) propose strategies for teaching SDH.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective single-centre cross-sectional study evaluated delayed post-gadolinium ZPE and NSE real-IR MRI in consecutive patients with Ménièriform symptoms (8/2020-10/2023). Two observers assessed 14 MRI descriptors.
