In 2006, with the admission of a new batch of students, pharmaceutical education became a 6-year course. This was a result of the urgent need to train a new generation of pharmacists to respond to increasingly advanced and intricate medical care as well as the specific need to coordinate with multiple occupational categories. Meanwhile, with Japan becoming an aged society, medical care has undergone functional differentiation, and home care is now being promoted. As part of an 11- week practical course for 5th-year practical training, students attended visits to home care patients from an early stage, making it possible for them to be present at multiple visits. This was highly significant because it allowed students to experience various disease states of different patients and increase their practical knowledge of pharmaceuticals. This study explores the case example of proposals made by pharmacy students for improving medication-related problems in home care patients during 5th-year practical training.

Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, requiring physicians to understand multidisciplinary treatments. This study assessed the impact of a clinical rotation in a cancer center on medical students' knowledge of cancer treatments from a multidisciplinary perspective. A traditional single-department rotation was compared to a multidisciplinary rotation to determine whether broader exposure enhances knowledge and prepares students for multidisciplinary care.

Background: Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a common and debilitating symptom in patients with Sjögren's syndrome, affecting their quality of life. Although Cevimeline, a muscarinic agonist, has been investigated as a potential treatment, its efficacy and optimal dosage remain uncertain. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Cevimeline in relieving xerostomia in patients with Sjögren's syndrome by a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCT).

Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB.
Purpose: As the scope of practice continues to evolve for pharmacists, professional abstinence is being observed by students in workplaces and practicums. Professional abstinence is defined as "consciously choosing not to provide the full scope of patient care activities". Exposure of students to professional abstinence may cause cognitive dissonance, as they are challenged by practices that do not match what they are taught in school.

Nonconventional Luminescent Materials (NLMs) with distinctive optical properties are garnering significant attention. A key challenge in their practical application lies in precisely controlling their emission behavior, particularly achieving excitation wavelength-independent emission, which is paramount for accurate chemical sensing. In this study, NLMs (Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4) are synthesized via a click reaction, and it is found that excitation wavelength-dependent emission correlates with molecular cluster formation.
