An Educational Intervention to Promote Central Nervous System-Active Deprescribing in Dementia: A Pilot Study.
Drugs Aging
January 2025
Center for Clinical Management Research, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, NCRC 016-308E, 2800 Plymouth Rd, Ann Arbor, MI, 48109, USA.
Background: Central nervous system (CNS)-active polypharmacy (defined as concurrent exposure to three or more antidepressant, antipsychotic, antiseizure, benzodiazepine, opioid, or nonbenzodiazepine benzodiazepine receptor agonists) is associated with significant potential harms in persons living with dementia (PLWD).We conducted a pilot trial to assess a patient nudge intervention's implementation feasibility and preliminary effectiveness to prompt deprescribing conversations between PLWD experiencing CNS-active polypharmacy and their primary care clinicians ("clinicians").
Methods: We used the electronic health record to identify PLWD prescribed CNS-active polypharmacy in primary care clinics from two health systems.
Statin Consumption and Appealing Colors: Exploring Statin-Related Injuries for Children Under the Age of Three Years.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, Discipline of Pharmacology, Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, Monroe, USA.
Introduction: Statins are frequently prescribed to lower the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular-related diseases. While statins are considered safe, there are occasional accidental overdoses in children that warrant concern for how to protect children from unintended consumption. We aimed to determine which statins were more prone to injury, characterize the injury types commonly seen for each statin, assess the age at which statin-related injuries were most frequent, and compare statin-related injuries among genders.

November 2024
Department of Physics & Astronomy, College of Sciences, King Saud University, P.O. Box 2455, Riyadh, 11451, Saudi Arabia.
Safer and more environmentally friendly alternatives to lead-based perovskites include lead-free halide perovskites, which retain good optoelectronic capabilities while reducing environmental toxicity. They also align better with ecological and regulatory standards for green technologies. In this manuscript, we have presented the first principles analysis of the physical traits of AInGaBr (A=K, Rb, Cs).
