Although the sharing of curricular content between health professional schools can reduce faculty burden, the literature provides little guidance to support these efforts. The objective of this investigation was to synthesize data from two prior studies to delineate recommendations guiding the future development of shared curricula in health professional education. Applying Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory as a guiding framework, relevant data were extracted from a two-phase mixed-methods study evaluating the long-term impact of the shared Rx for Change: Clinician-Assisted Tobacco Cessation program...

To address gaps in care for individuals from under-resourced communities disproportionately affected by tobacco use, this pharmacist-led demonstration project evaluated the feasibility of implementing tobacco use screening and brief cessation interventions during mobile health access events. A brief tobacco use survey was administered verbally during events at two food pantries and one homeless shelter in Indiana to assess the interest and potential demand for tobacco cessation assistance. Individuals currently using tobacco were advised to quit, assessed for their readiness to quit, and, if interested, offered a tobacco quitline card...

Lysine methylation is a dynamic, post-translational mark that regulates the function of histone and non-histone proteins. Many of the enzymes that mediate lysine methylation, known as lysine methyltransferases (KMTs), were originally identified to modify histone proteins but have also been discovered to methylate non-histone proteins. In this work, we investigate the substrate selectivity of the lysine methyltransferase PRDM9 to identify both potential histone and non-histone substrates. Though normally expressed in germ cells, PRDM9 is significantly upregulated across many cancer types...

Although the harmful effects of smoking after a cancer diagnosis have been clearly demonstrated, many patients continue to smoke cigarettes during treatment and beyond. The NCCN Guidelines for Smoking Cessation emphasize the importance of smoking cessation in all patients with cancer and seek to establish evidence-based recommendations tailored to the unique needs and concerns of patients with cancer. The recommendations contained herein describe interventions for cessation of all combustible tobacco products (eg, cigarettes, cigars, hookah), including smokeless tobacco products...

BACKGROUND: Community pharmacists are well-positioned to engage in opioid-related harm reduction activities (i.e., opioid interventions). However, several barriers to providing these interventions have been identified. Comparing the frequencies of opioid interventions and identifying which barriers are perceived to have the highest impact in providing interventions will yield valuable information for increasing opioid use disorder (OUD) care access within pharmacies. OBJECTIVES: To (1) characterize the frequency of 9 opioid interventions in community practice settings and (2) assess community pharmacists' perceptions of what impact 15 key barriers have on providing opioid interventions...

Aberrant Nav1.6 activity can induce hyperexcitability associated with epilepsy. Gain-of-function mutations in the SCN8A gene encoding Nav1.6 are linked to epilepsy development; however, the molecular mechanisms mediating these changes are remarkably heterogeneous and may involve post-translational regulation of Nav1.6. Because calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a powerful modulator of Nav1.6 channels, we investigated whether CaMKII modulates disease-linked Nav1.6 mutants. Whole-cell voltage clamp recordings in ND7/23 cells show that CaMKII inhibition of the epilepsy-related mutation R850Q largely recapitulates the effects previously observed for WT Nav1...

Pharmacists, as highly accessible members of the healthcare team, have considerable potential to address tobacco use among patients. However, while published data suggest that pharmacists are effective in helping patients quit, barriers exist to routine implementation of cessation services in community pharmacy settings. Within the context of a randomized trial (n = 64 pharmacies), surveys were administered over a period of 6 months to assess pharmacists' perceptions of factors associated with the implementation of "Ask-Advise-Refer", a brief intervention approach that facilitates patient referrals to the tobacco quitline...

Interprofessional strategies for promoting tobacco cessation lead to enhanced quit rates among patients; however, current approaches might not effectively support patients with their quit attempts after they are discharged from the hospital. This paper explores opportunities for interprofessional collaboration between health system-based providers and community pharmacists, as one proposed approach to bridging tobacco cessation services during transitions of care. Suggested strategies include (1) increasing other healthcare professionals' awareness of legislative advances that permit pharmacists to prescribe cessation medications in some states, and (2) encouraging bi-directional communication between health system-based and community-based providers, especially via integrated electronic health records...

BACKGROUND: The central goals of MTM align with those of the Chronic Care Model (CCM). However, reliable and valid assessments are needed to estimate the extent to which components of MTM care delivery are consistent with the CCM. The Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (ACIC) is a 34-item scale for administration in primary care offices to estimate the extent to which chronic care delivery aligns with the six elements of the CCM. The ACIC appears to be responsive for care delivery interventions aimed at improving various chronic illnesses...

Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) are critical determinants of cellular excitability. These ion channels exist as large heteromultimeric structures and their activity is tightly controlled. In neurons, the isoform Nav 1.6 is highly enriched at the axon initial segment and nodes, making it critical for the initiation and propagation of neuronal impulses. Changes in Nav 1.6 expression and function profoundly impact the input-output properties of neurons in normal and pathological conditions. While mutations in Nav 1...

BACKGROUND: Although two thirds of tobacco users express interest in quitting, few pharmacists address tobacco use as part of routine practice. Historically, pharmacy schools provided inadequate tobacco cessation training for students. To address this educational gap, train-the-trainer workshops were conducted between 2003 and 2005 to train pharmacy faculty (n = 191) to teach a shared, national tobacco cessation curriculum at their academic institutions. OBJECTIVE: To characterize faculty perceptions of the train-the-trainer workshops and estimate the long-term reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) of the shared curriculum at pharmacy schools...
