Bridging The Location Gap: Physician Perspectives Of Physician-Pharmacist Collaboration In Patient Care (Bridge Phase Ii), Keri D. Hager, Donald Uden, Daniel M. Tomaszewski

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Background: To optimize patient outcomes, the patient-centred medical home model emphasizes comprehensive team-based care. Pharmacists are qualified to enhance appropriate medication use and help improve patient outcomes through provision of medication therapy management (MTM) services. To optimally provide MTM, pharmacists must effectively collaborate with physicians. This study explored factors that influence pharmacist-physician collaboration.

Methods and Findings: A convenience sample of five physicians participated in semi-structured interviews and the resulting data were analyzed using qualitative methods. Transcripts of the interviews were independently coded for themes by two researchers. Five themes emerged: trustworthiness, role specification, relationship initiation, effects on practice, …

Methylphenidate And Dexmethylphenidate Formulations In Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, David Sugrue

Honors Scholar Theses

Purpose: To review the current literature on the various extended-release methylphenidate stimulant preparations regarding safety and efficacy in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Summary: The literature reviewed establishes the efficacy of the different long-acting methylphenidate stimulant formulations in treating children and adolescents with ADHD. Comparing and contrasting the different extended-release preparations allows for clinicians to help tailor ADHD treatments to individual patients. The extended release methylphenidate products provide the same efficacy as the immediate release formulations, but add the convenience of less frequent dosing. There are a few options for patients with difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, including …

The Value Of Online Medication Rating Systems To Older Adults And Their Association With Self-Reported Outcomes, Yazed Sulaiman Alruthia

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

The Internet is a powerful and very popular vehicle for distributing judgment-free health information to patients. Multiple studies have examined the role of online health information as well as physician-rating websites in health care. Studies have examined the value of online drug information for patients and the value of the online drug information for patients. However, no study has examined the usefulness or value of online medication rating websites in facilitating physician-patient communication or participant-reported outcomes. In this study, the value of online medication rating websites to older adults in facilitating communication with their physicians using a newly developed tool …

Design, Development And Evaluation Of Erlotinib-Loaded Hybrid Nanoparticles For Targeted Drug Delivery To Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer, Bivash Mandal

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

The objective of this work was to design, develop and evaluate erlotinib-loaded coreshell type lipid albumin hybrid nanoparticles (CSLAHNPs) for targeted drug delivery to nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Erlotinib (ETB) is a highly selective, potent and reversible inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) which is overexpressed (50-90%) in NSCLC. ETB is marketed as film coated tablets for oral delivery. However, poor survival rate along with life-threatening adverse effects were reported from oral administration. Nanoparticulate delivery system of ETB might be advantageous to target the tumor cells, thereby increasing therapeutic efficacy and reducing off-targeting toxicities of ETB …

Design, Development, Characterization And Testing Of Cd22 Targeted Long Circulating Liposomal Drug Delivery Systems For B Cell Malignancies, Nivesh Kumar Mittal

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

Hematological malignances of the B cells affect almost 130,000 people in the United States every year of which approximately 44,000 lose their lives. Therapies for B cell malignancies such as doxorubicin, have limitations due to dose related adverse effects such as neutropenia and cardiomyopathy. AD 198 is a novel PKC-delta activating agent that has cytotoxic superiority over doxorubicin by being able to circumvent resistance mechanisms developed by the cancer cells towards doxorubicin and being cadioprotective from the damage caused to cardiomyocytes by doxorubicin. Targeted delivery of AD 198 is crucial to moderate the non-specific interactions of the chemotherapeutic agent with …

Functional Activity And Switching Of Novel Cannabinergic Ligands, Bret Alan Koertge

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

Pursuant to the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors, research in this field has grown exponentially over the last 2 decades. With their utility in various disease states such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, neurodegenerative and inflammation, cannabinoids stand poised to become a great therapeutic agent. This research seeks to better understand the functional mechanism of cannabinoids, in the hopes of ascertaining which molecular attributes confer desirable selectivity and functional activity.

Looking first at classical benzchromene core analogues, we have shown that presence of an aromatic substitution at C-1' imparts a CB1 agonist, CB2 antagonist. This is a unique mechanism and …

Exploring The Roles Of Host And Tumor Cell Α4 And Α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors In Lung Cancer., John Caleb Greenwell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women worldwide. Tobacco exposure represents the major risk factor. Nicotine, an addictive plant alkaloid found in tobacco, has been demonstrated to stimulate lung carcinoma cells directly via nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that trigger downstream signals capable of promoting lung cancer growth and progression. Attention has been given to α7 nAChRs, while less is known about α4 nAChRs. However, most studies evaluating these receptors relied on chemical inhibitors notorious for their off-target effects. Consequently, the true role of α4 and α7 nAChRs in lung cancer remains unclear. To address …

Sintesis Dan Karakterisasi Hidrogel Superabsorben Kitosan Poli(N-Vinilkaprolaktam) (Pnvcl) Dengan Metode Full Ipn (Interpenetrating Polymer Network), Nadhrah Wivanius, Emil Budianto

Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

Polymer material used for hydrogel should have capability to swell and to keep water molecules in its structure without solubilised in water. Natural polymers has functional groups which can perform as active sites in modification to produce polymer with better characteristic. Chitosan is a natural polymer which has good swelling ability but lack of structural strength. Synthesis of chitosan hydrogel by interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) will increase its strength through crosslinking. In this research, the first step of modification was the synthesis of chitosan polymer network crosslinked by acetaldehyde. The next step was the synthesis of PNVCL polymer network crosslinked …

Remodeling Of Recg Helicase At The Dna Replication Fork By Ssb Protein., Zhiqiang Sun, Hui Yin Tan, Piero R. Bianco, Yuri L. Lyubchenko

Journal Articles: Pharmaceutical Sciences

The RecG DNA helicase a key player in stalled replication fork rescue. The single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) participates in this process, but its role in the interaction of RecG with the fork remains unclear. We used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to visualize the interaction of RecG with a fork DNA in the presence of SSB. We discovered that SSB enhances RecG loading efficiency onto the DNA fork by threefold. Additionally, SSB interacts with RecG leading to the RecG remodeling. As a result, RecG separates from the fork, but remains bound to the DNA duplex. Moreover, in this new binding …
