Eagle Medical Trainees-Pharmaceutical Care Lab 4 Demonstration

Overview: Clinical pharmacists work to provide patient-centered care through monitoring and managing disease states. The fundamental skills necessary to provide this type of service include communication, physical assessment, and laboratory and diagnostic information, as well as patient case presentation, therapeutic planning, and monitoring of drug intake. Pharmaceutical Care Lab 4 focuses on these skills to allow pharmacy students the opportunities to learn and practice patient care for various disease states and document their findings. Today you will have the opportunity to perform several of these skills for a patient who has signs and symptoms of diabetes. As you go through the stations, you will document your findings

MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT: \u3ci\u3eEmpowering the Patient\u3c/i\u3e

Medication Therapy Management provides the community with many benefits. In order to demonstrate the importance, we used pharmacist surveys to convey how often MTM is utilized, pharmacists perspectives on service utilization and challenges, and goals and expectations of the outcomes of MTM services

Evaluating Naloxone Access and Prescribing Requirements in the Opioid Epidemic across the United States

Deaths related to opioid overdose has been an increasing problem in the United States Deaths related to opioid overdoses can be prevented by the use of naloxone which reverses the effects of opioids Approaches to promote naloxone access have been described by federal agencies, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administratio

Shifting attention in viewer- and object-based reference frames after unilateral brain injury

The aims of the present study were to investigate the respective roles that object- and viewer-based reference frames play in reorienting visual attention, and to assess their influence after unilateral brain injury. To do so, we studied 16 right hemisphere injured (RHI) and 13 left hemisphere injured (LHI) patients. We used a cueing design that manipulates the location of cues and targets relative to a display comprised of two rectangles (i.e., objects). Unlike previous studies with patients, we presented all cues at midline rather than in the left or right visual fields. Thus, in the critical conditions in which targets were presented laterally, reorienting of attention was always from a midline cue. Performance was measured for lateralized target detection as a function of viewer-based (contra- and ipsilesional sides) and object-based (requiring reorienting within or between objects) reference frames. As expected, contralesional detection was slower than ipsilesional detection for the patients. More importantly, objects influenced target detection differently in the contralesional and ipsilesional fields. Contralesionally, reorienting to a target within the cued object took longer than reorienting to a target in the same location but in the uncued object. This finding is consistent with object-based neglect. Ipsilesionally, the means were in the opposite direction. Furthermore, no significant difference was found in object-based influences between the patient groups (RHI vs. LHI). These findings are discussed in the context of reference frames used in reorienting attention for target detection
