Exploring The Attitudes, Knowledge, And Receptivity Of Community-Working Pharmacists Regarding Two Over-The-Counter Medications (Otcs), Robin Spielmann, John Redwanski

Pharmacy Practice Faculty Posters

Many patients go without access to contemporary or traditional Western medicine due to lack of quality health insurance. Thus, more patients are turning to other less expensive, alternative forms of treatment. Our analysis of several different community-pharmacies in Maine, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky showed that many practicing pharmacists know little about these types of alternative therapies, and make little effort answering questions and/or making a safe recommendation about these products.

Alternative Reaction Pathways To Metformin Hydrochloride, Mohammed S. Suleiman, Stephen A. Reeves, Jorge E. Gatica

Undergraduate Research Posters 2014

The process includes the dissolution and reaction, followed by the precipitation of Metformin Hydrochloride.

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome In Methadone Exposed Infants: Role Of Genetic Variability, Andrea L. Fielder, J. K. Coller, M. R. Hutchinson, Ross R. Haslam, Nona Lu, Susan C. Adeniyi-Jones, Michelle Ehrlich, Walter K. Kraft

Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Posters

Poster presented at: CPDD Scientific Meeting, San Juan, PR.

Aims: NAS incidence & severity in infants exposed to methadone during gestation is independent of maternal methadone dose. The incidence & severity of NAS could be in part due to genetic variability of key genetic loci related to opioid response; the interleukin-1beta (IL-1B) & mu opioid receptor (OPRM1) genes. This study aimed to investigate the impact of genetic variability in IL-1B -31 or OPRM1 A118G on NAS incidence (treatment required) & severity (dose of morphine).

Methods: This pilot study collected cheek cells from 71 methadone exposed infants; 46 …
