Introduction: Literature supports pharmacist integration within transitions of care. A total of eight health-system pharmacies and colleges of pharmacy developed focused post-graduate year two (PGY2) training in this specialty. However, in fall 2016, ongoing accreditation of these PGY2 transitions of care programs was discontinued by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Commission on Credentialing.
Perspective: Healthcare relies on interprofessional collaborations and corresponding programs in order to improve patient care. Pharmacists who have completed specialized training in transitions of care are not only leaders in this realm but also ambassadors for interprofessional medicine.
Implications: Rebranding transitions of care PGY2 programs fails to capture all the opportunities available to train and mentor new transitions of care pharmacists. Lack of consensual accreditation introduces variability within training. There may be opportunities to revisit transitions of care PGY2 accreditation in the future.

Amantadine modulates novel macrophage phenotypes to enhance neural repair following spinal cord injury.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a complex inflammatory response that impedes neural repair and functional recovery. The modulation of macrophage phenotypes is thus considered a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate inflammation and promote regeneration.
Methods: We employed microarray and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate gene expression changes and immune cell dynamics in mice following crush injury at 3 and 7 days post-injury (dpi).

Depression is one of the most common psychiatric conditions. Given its high prevalence and disease burden, accurate diagnostic procedures and valid instruments are warranted to identify those in need of treatment. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is one of the most widely used self-report measures of depression, and its validity and reliability has been evaluated in several languages.

This study sought to understand how young adults (age 18-25) with histories of mental health disorders are coping with disrupted transitions to adulthood during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional web survey was conducted in March-June 2021 of 967 US young adults with pre-pandemic psychiatric disability to assess their current psychiatric status, interrupted transitions, and associations with social determinants including income, community participation, and social context. Mental health was assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version.

Introduction: Relative or absolute safety of heated tobacco products (HTP) remains unknown, while independent literature suggests that these products do not favour tobacco control. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate HTP usage patterns and the effect of HTP use on conventional tobacco smoking (use transitions).
Methods: We used Pubmed/MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library to identify all articles published up to February 2022 on HTP use.
How can consumer science help the foodservice industry replace meat? A critical review.
Appetite
January 2025
Örebro University, School of Hospitality and Meal Science.
In the pursuit of more sustainable diets, researchers have been studying ways to promote a transition from animal- to plant-based meals in foodservice contexts by influencing participants' conscious choices through names, labels, claims, and information. This critical review found that these interventions usually mobilize only those already engaged in reducing the consumption of animal products and often only during the intervention period, failing to influence those who eat most meat or to create long-lasting effects. Analyzing the choice for vegetarian meals against meals with meat in recently published studies conducted in foodservice contexts, we argue that the transition to more sustainable diets should rely less on consumers' willpower and more on public policies and institutional measures that change the availability, price, and visibility of plant-based meals.
