Wills Eye Hospital Papers
Background: The problem of access to medical information, particularly in low-income countries, has been under discussion for many years. Although a number of developments have occurred in the last decade (e.g., the open access (OA) movement and the website Sci-Hub), everyone agrees that these difficulties still persist very widely, mainly due to the fact that paywalls still limit access to approximately 75% of scholarly documents. In this study, we compare the accessibility of recent full text articles in the field of ophthalmology in 27 established institutions located worldwide.
Methods: A total of 200 references from articles were retrieved using the …

The Journey Through Doctoral Education, Nila Reimer
The Journey Through Doctoral Education, Nila Reimer
Nila Reimer
Students who gain new knowledge by integrating scholarliness and stewardship for the nursing profession possess key ambitions for succeeding in nursing doctoral education. In this narrative inquiry, a student reflects on themes of scholarly integration, intellectual community, and stewardship that are embedded in the values and attitudes evidenced in the culture of a Doctor of Philosophy in nursing program. The doctoral student’s personal reflection demonstrates professional growth during the experience of nursing doctoral education. This inquiry provides guidance for other students as they embark on their journey toward scholarly development and stewardship during their doctoral education experience.
The Statistics Of Sensitivity Analyses, Alexander R. Luedtke, Ivan Diaz, Mark J. Van Der Laan
The Statistics Of Sensitivity Analyses, Alexander R. Luedtke, Ivan Diaz, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Alex Luedtke
Suppose one wishes to estimate a causal parameter given a sample of observations. This requires making unidentifiable assumptions about an underlying causal mechanism. Sensitivity analyses help investigators understand what impact violations of these assumptions could have on the causal conclusions drawn from a study, though themselves rely on untestable (but hopefully more interpretable) assumptions. Díaz and van der Laan (2013) advocate the use of a sequence (or continuum) of interpretable untestable assumptions of increasing plausibility for the sensitivity analysis so that experts can have informed opinions about which are true. In this work, we argue that using appropriate statistical procedures …
Haematopoietic Stem Cells In Spleen Have Distinct Differentiative Potential For Antigen Presenting Cells., Jonathan Tan, Helen O'Neill
Haematopoietic Stem Cells In Spleen Have Distinct Differentiative Potential For Antigen Presenting Cells., Jonathan Tan, Helen O'Neill
Jonathan Tan
Dendritic cells (DC) are known to develop from macrophage dendritic progenitors (MDP) in bone marrow (BM), which give rise to conventional (c)DC and monocytes, both dominant antigen presenting cell (APC) subsets in spleen. This laboratory has however defined a distinct dendritic-like cell subset in spleen (L-DC), which can also be derived in long-term cultures of spleen. In line with the restricted in vitro development of only L-DC in these stromal cultures, we questioned whether self-renewing HSC or progenitors exist in spleen with restricted differentiative capacity for only L-DC. Neonatal spleen and BM were compared for their ability to reconstitute mice …

Synthesis And Preliminary Investigations Into Novel 1,2,3-Triazole-Derived Androgen Receptor Antagonists Inspired By Bicalutamide, Jarrad Altimari, Birunthi Niranjan, Gail Risbridger, Stephanie Schweiker, Anna Lohning, Luke Henderson
Anna Lohning
A versatile and high yielding synthesis of novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonists is presented. Using this methodology, six 1,4-substituted-1,2,3-triazole derived bicalutamide mimics were synthesised in five steps and in isolated overall yields from 41% to 85%. Evaluation of these compounds for their anti-proliferative properties against androgen dependent (LNCaP) and independent (PC-3) cells showed promising IC50 values of 34-45 μM and 29-151 μM, respectively. The data suggest that the latter compounds may be an excellent starting point for the development of prostate cancer therapeutics for both androgen dependent and independent forms of this disease. Docking of these compounds (each enantiomer) in …

Preliminary Investigations Into Triazole Derived Androgen Receptor Antagonists, Jarrad Altimari, Birunthi Niranjan, Gail Risbridger, Stephanie Schweiker, Anna Lohning, Luke Henderson
Anna Lohning
A range of 1,4-substituted-1,2,3-N-phenyltriazoles were synthesized and evaluated as non-steroidal androgen receptor (AR) antagonists. The motivation for this study was to replace the N-phenyl amide portion of small molecule antiandrogens with a 1,2,3-triazole and determine effects, if any, on biological activity. The synthetic methodology presented herein is robust, high yielding and extremely rapid. Using this methodology a series of 17 N-aryl triazoles were synthesized from commercially available starting materials in less than 3 h. After preliminary biological screening at 20 and 40 lM, the most promising three compounds were found to display IC50 values of 40–50 lM against androgen dependent …
Association Between Applications Scores And Positive Onsite Interviews Of Pharmacy Residency Applicants, Sarah Nisly, Meredith L. Howard, Alex N. Issacs, Tate Trujillo
Association Between Applications Scores And Positive Onsite Interviews Of Pharmacy Residency Applicants, Sarah Nisly, Meredith L. Howard, Alex N. Issacs, Tate Trujillo
Sarah A. Nisly
Application to pharmacy residency programs has become increasingly competitive over the past several years. Although successful candidates must excel in the various stages of the application process, preparing written applications and securing onsite interviews are early and arguably the most difficult steps. Residency programs vary in the criteria used for offering onsite interviews. The majority of insight into this topic comes from surveys of residency program directors, but corresponding analyses of interview offers have been minimal...
Canagliflozin, A New Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitor, In The Treatment Of Diabetes, Sarah A. Nisly, Denise M. Kolanczyk, Alison M. Walton
Canagliflozin, A New Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitor, In The Treatment Of Diabetes, Sarah A. Nisly, Denise M. Kolanczyk, Alison M. Walton
Alison M. Walton
Purpose. The published evidence on the pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of a promising investigational agent for managing type 2 diabetes is evaluated. Summary. Canagliflozin belongs to a class of agents—the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors—whose novel mechanism of action offers potential advantages over other antihyperglycemic agents, including a relatively low hypoglycemia risk and weight loss-promoting effects. Canagliflozin has dose-dependent pharmacokinetics, and research in laboratory animals demonstrated high oral bioavailability (85%) and rapid effects in lowering glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values. In four early-stage clinical trials involving a total of over 500 patients, the use of canagliflozin for varying periods …
Teratogen Use In Women Of Childbearing Potential: An Intervention Study, Karie Morical-Kline, Alison Walton, Tracey Guildenbecher
Teratogen Use In Women Of Childbearing Potential: An Intervention Study, Karie Morical-Kline, Alison Walton, Tracey Guildenbecher
Alison M. Walton
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify the number of women of childbearing potential who are prescribed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), or HMG-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (statin) and to determine the number of documented teratogenic risk discussions (risk documentation) before and after educational interventions. Methods: The institutional review board–approved retrospective chart review included female patients ages 15 to 45 years who were prescribed an ACE inhibitor, ARB, or statin between January 1, 2007, and March 1, 2009. Exclusion criteria were tubal ligation and hysterectomy. A survey determined physician knowledge of teratogenic risks and …
Patient Perceptions Of Pharmacist-Managed Clinics: A Qualitative Analysis, Jasmine Gonsalvo, Darin Ramsey, Ashley Vincent, Alison Walton, Zachary Weber, Jessica Wilhoite
Patient Perceptions Of Pharmacist-Managed Clinics: A Qualitative Analysis, Jasmine Gonsalvo, Darin Ramsey, Ashley Vincent, Alison Walton, Zachary Weber, Jessica Wilhoite
Alison M. Walton
Background: Pharmacist-managed clinics have consistently demonstrated improvement in patient outcomes. Quantitative research offers the benefit of objective outcomes to track progress toward therapeutic goals at pharmacist-managed clinics. While quantitative studies are readily available in the literature, there is a paucity of qualitative studies to capture the patients' perspectives of pharmacy services. Objective: To assess through the use of qualitative research methods patient perceptions of pharmacist-managed services within ambulatory care clinics that operate under a collaborative practice agreement. Methods: A semi-structured interview questionnaire was developed, pilot tested, and revised using a focus group of clinical pharmacists. The questionnaire was used to …

Tracy L. Sprunger
Objectives. To identify and assess changes made to the Indiana Pharmacy Resident Teaching Certificate program over 10 years to adapt to the growing number and changing needs of pharmacy educators in the next generation. Design. In 2011, all resident program participants and directors were sent an electronic survey instrument designed to assess the perceived value of each program component. Assessment. Since 2003, the number of program participants has tripled, and the program has expanded to include additional core requirements and continuing education. Participants generally agreed that the speakers, seminar topics, seminar video recordings, and seminar offerings during the fall semester …
Association Of Antipsychotic Use With Hospital Events And Mortality Among Medicare Beneficiaries Residing In Long-Term Care Facilities, Linda Simoni-Wastila, Priscilla T. Ryder, Jingjing Qian, Ilene H. Zuckermann, Thomas Shaffer, Lirong Zhao
Association Of Antipsychotic Use With Hospital Events And Mortality Among Medicare Beneficiaries Residing In Long-Term Care Facilities, Linda Simoni-Wastila, Priscilla T. Ryder, Jingjing Qian, Ilene H. Zuckermann, Thomas Shaffer, Lirong Zhao
Priscilla T. Ryder
Objective—Antipsychotic (AP) utilization has grown significantly in long-term care (LTC) settings. Although a growing literature associates AP use with higher mortality in elderly with dementia, the association of APs with hospital events is unclear. The authors examine prevalence and trends in AP use by Medicare beneficiaries residing in LTC and the association of APs and other drug use variables with hospital events and mortality. Design—Retrospective analysis using sequential multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Setting—Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey linked to Institutional Drug Administration and Minimum Data Set files. Participants—A total of 2,363 LTC Medicare beneficiaries, 1999–2002. Measurements—Trends in LTC AP use …

Herbal Product Use Among Anticoagulation Patients, Ilene H. Zuckerman, Eileen K. Steinberger, Priscilla T. Ryder, Stuart Haines
Priscilla T. Ryder
Warfarin interacts with many conventional drug products and herbal products,1-3 Given the incompleteness of information on drug-herbal product interactions and the potential for health care practitioners to be unaware of their patients' utilization of herbal products, we surveyed the use of such products among patients receiving warfarin through an anticoagulation clinic. Patients at the University of Maryland Medical System Anticoagulation Clinic were asked to complete an anonymous written questionnaire during their regularly scheduled appointments over one month.
Administrators’ Perceptions Of Medication Management In Assisted Living Facilities: Results From Focus Groups, Priscilla T. Ryder, Melanie Joseph, Marnie Zuckermann, Ilene H. Zuckermann
Administrators’ Perceptions Of Medication Management In Assisted Living Facilities: Results From Focus Groups, Priscilla T. Ryder, Melanie Joseph, Marnie Zuckermann, Ilene H. Zuckermann
Priscilla T. Ryder
Objective: Assisted living (AL) residents are vulnerable to adverse events as a result of using numerous medications and frequently need assistance in administering medications. Very little is known, however, about the ways in which medications are managed within this level of care. Design: AL administrators from the metropolitan Baltimore, Maryland area were invited to participate in focus groups to explore issues involved in medication management. Setting and Participants: Four administrators from smaller (15 beds or fewer) and six larger (more than 15 beds) certified AL facilities serving primarily older residents participated. Administrators must have served in their position at least …
