Disease-related fatalities in Saudi Arabia (SA) are on the rise, with 28% of all deaths attributed to cardiovascular diseases, followed by cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disorders. In response to this issue, pharmacy dispensing practices have been significantly altered. One such innovative approach is the drive-through pharmacy service.

Purpose: To report long-term results of patients with cervical node-positive (CLN+) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy with one-step nodal clinical target volume (CTVn) delineation by geometric-anatomic expansion from the nodal gross target volume (GTVn).
Methods And Materials: Patients with CLN+ NPC treated with the same one-step-CTVn delineation in two Chinese academic centers were pooled for this study. GTVn was prescribed to 70 Gy equivalent, CTVn1 was omitted, CTVn2 was prescribed to 45 to 55 Gy equivalent, and defined as GTVn + 3 mm geometric expansion (5 mm if radiological extranodal extension-positive [rENE+]) + elective nodal regions defined by anatomic boundary of cervical nodal levels.
Comparative Experimental Evaluation of Orthodontic Appliances for Maxillary Arch Expansion.

The orthodontic treatment of posterior crossbite using appliances for gradual maxillary expansion is crucial to ensure proper transversal jaw relationships as much as occlusal functionality. The aim of this study was to analyze forces and torques generated by different appliances for maxillary expansion. Measurements were conducted for the Wilson 3D Quadhelix (WQH) and Wilson 3D Multi-Action Palatal Appliance (WPA) across various sizes and compared to the Remanium Quadhelix (RQH).

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of pharmacist-integrated transitions of care (ToC) programs on reducing hospital readmissions beyond 30 days in a Medicare value-based population.* -
- Researchers conducted a chart review involving 1,065 hospital discharge encounters, comparing readmission rates among a control group and three intervention groups receiving different levels of pharmacist support.* -
- Results showed that while one intervention group saw no significant change, two others had substantially lower 90-day readmission rates, indicating the potential benefits of involving pharmacists in patient care post-discharge.*
Impact of climate change on the geographical distribution of ticks of public health significance in Colombia: Amblyomma ovale (Ixodida: Ixodidae), the Amblyomma maculatum (Ixodida: Ixodidae) complex and the Amblyomma cajennense (Ixodida: Ixodidae) complex.

Article Synopsis
- Ticks from the Amblyomma genus in Colombia, including the complexes A. maculatum, A. cajennense, and A. ovale, are known to transmit Rickettsia species, but their distribution is not fully understood.
- Predictive models showed that A. ovale and A. maculatum may expand their range by 2070, while A. mixtum and A. patinoi might see a decrease in their distribution; factors like temperature and rainfall significantly influence these changes.
- Ongoing surveillance is essential to study the potential spread of rickettsiosis related to different Rickettsia species across these tick populations and their environments.
