Hypertensive Encephalopathy Triggered by Indomethacin Use.

We present the case of a man in his 70s who developed acute confusion from hypertensive encephalopathy triggered by indomethacin. He was recently prescribed indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for headaches. However, his headaches were in the context of worsening hypertension that was treated with trandolapril.

A developmental evaluation of an intraprofessional Pharmacy Communication Partnership (PROMPT) to improve transitions in care from hospital to community: A mixed-methods study.

Background: People transitioning from hospital- to community-based care are at increased risk of experiencing medication problems that can lead to adverse drug events and poor health outcomes. Community pharmacists provide medication expertise and support during care transitions yet are not routinely included in communications between hospitals and other primary health care providers. The PhaRmacy COMmunication ParTnership (PROMPT) intervention facilitates medication management by optimizing information sharing between pharmacists across care settings.

Proton-induced disproportionation of a ruthenium noninnocent ligand complex yielding a strong oxidant and a strong reductant.

The complex Ru(II)(NH(3))(2)(o-benzoquinonediimine)Cl(2) undergoes a reversible apparent acid/base reaction, although it has no obvious basic lone pairs. The reaction is a proton-assisted disproportionation yielding an oxidant ([Ru(III)(NH(3))(2)(o-benzoquinonediimine)Cl(2)](+)) and a reductant ([Ru(III)(NH(3))(2)(o-phenylenediamine)Cl(2)](+)). These species were characterized by electrochemistry, ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis), vibrational (infrared (IR) and Raman), mass and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and X-ray structural analysis.
