Incorporation of Diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism (DEIA) principles into the pharmacy classroom: An exploratory review

IntroductionThe objective is to gather evidence on ways to integrate DEIA into the didactic and experiential pharmacy classroom based on AACP's 2021–2024 Strategic Plan Objective 3.3.1. to “compile and publish resources related to best practices in inclusive pedagogy, creating inclusive classrooms, navigating difficult conversations, and promoting equitable campus climates for use by schools and colleges of pharmacy.”.3 MethodsAn exploratory review was conducted to identify literature using journals, including Academic Medicine, the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (AJPE), AACP poster abstracts from 2018 and onward, Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning (CPTL), JAMA Surgery, Journal of Dental Education (JDE), and Minority Nurse Magazine. Keywords used were “DEIA,” “DEIA in classrooms,” “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion,” “microaggression,” “disabilities,” “pharmacy education,” “health equity,” “discrimination,” “unconscious bias,” “cultural humility,” and “cultural competence.” Excluded were literature focused on DEIA in “curriculum,” “recruitment,” and other topics unrelated to integrating DEIA in the classroom. Poster abstract authors were contacted directly to get a copy of the poster so that more information could be gathered from the poster. ResultsSixteen publications were identified (14 peer-reviewed manuscripts and two poster abstracts). Of those, two explored the utilization of technology to make lesson plans more inclusive; seven discussed ways for students to address implicit biases, microaggressions, and navigating difficult conversations; five focused on accommodating students with disabilities; one discussed developing better pronunciation of students' names; and one discussed a method to improve student's self-awareness and awareness of other cultures. ConclusionAlthough evidence was found on integrating DEIA into the didactic and experiential settings, the amount of evidence found is limited, warranting further research.

Karen J. Foli: A Nurse Scholar With an Unconventional Trajectory.

Nurse scholar Karen J. Foli has had an unconventional trajectory. She has written everything from mysteries to thrillers to peer-reviewed journal manuscripts and Food and Drug Administration documents. She conceptualized and disseminated two middle-range theories, one surrounding parental postadoption depression and one surrounding nurses' psychological trauma. Foli's research has revealed a new type of nurse-specific trauma, insufficient resource trauma, which calls for efforts at the organizational level. Winner of several book of the year awards, she is now working on a third middle-range theory. Dr. Foli shares her journey and encourages nurses to give theory a shot.

A Systematic Review of Interventions to Promote Parent-Teacher Relationships in Early Care and Education: Exploring the Social Process Between Parents and Teachers

Parent-teacher relationships are known to promote positive outcomes for young children in early childhood education; however, parents and teachers face barriers to forming quality relationships. To better understand how to support parents and teachers in forming quality relationships, the present systematic review sought to identify existing interventions designed to promote quality parent-teacher relationships in early childhood education. Systematic search and data extraction identified peer-reviewed manuscripts describing interventions that included components to increase parent-teacher relationships in early childhood education. Each included manuscript was evaluated to answer the following questions: (1) how is the social process between parents and teachers conceptualized?, (2) what strategies were used to improve this social process?, and (3) what outcomes are associated with improving this social process ? Nine out of the 1,992 nonduplicate screened manuscripts met inclusion criteria. Results indicate a small body of research focused solely on interventions designed to improve parent-teacher relationships. Included interventions were limited in their conceptualization of the social process between parents and teachers, strategies to improve it, and associated outcomes assessed. Additional research is needed to understand low-cost and highly feasible interventions that promote quality parent-teacher relationships in early childhood education.

A - 101 Anticholinergic Drug Use in Older Adults with Dementia: a Systematic Review

Abstract Objective This systematic review examined the prevalence of anticholinergic medication use, a known risk factor for cognitive impairment, among older adults with dementia. Data Selection PubMed and Embase were searched in February 2023 and March 2024 for studies reporting on the prevalence of anticholinergic medication use in older adults (age 65+) with a pre-existing diagnosis of dementia. We appraised 560 peer-reviewed manuscripts to determine they met inclusion criteria. The systematic review was conducted, designed and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). Results Twenty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Anticholinergic medication use rates among adults aged 65 or older with dementia ranged from 4.4% to 63.4% across studies. The median prevalence was 23.1%. In addition to several versions of the Beers Criteria and STOPP Criteria, a range of potentially inappropriate medication criteria were used. Conclusions Anticholinergic medications were widely used among older adults with dementia. Compared to a prior systematic review published in 2019, the current results indicate an increase in the frequency of anticholinergic use among older adults with dementia. Given the presence of cognitive impairment in this population, healthcare providers should closely monitor anticholinergic burden in their older adult patients and consult with prescribers to consider risks and benefits associated with such medications. Future research examining the prevalence of anticholinergic use among a broader population of older adults (e.g., those with mild cognitive impairment) appears warranted.

The Readiness Imperative: Leveraging Large Animal Resident Research to Enhance Expeditionary Surgical Skills.

The Defense Health Agency aims to ensure that military surgical residents have the expeditionary general surgical skills necessary to deploy to a combat environment and maintains the Clinical Investigation Programs (CIPs) that foster research during graduate medical education. This project evaluates the potential to achieve both aims simultaneously through a large animal Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP). Large animal experimental protocols within a single CIP's CCCRP were collected from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2022. Operations performed were tabulated and categorized by Emergency General Surgery procedure equivalent. In addition, procedures performed by a single resident from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2022, were separately indexed for a more granular analysis. The results are presented with total 5-year numbers listed first, followed by single resident 2-year numbers in parentheses. The residents at the CIP carried out 8676 (1,609) tabulated procedures. Major surgical procedures included 573 (154) laparotomies, 364 (129) thoracotomies, 279 (125) splenectomies, 219 (108) craniotomies, 206 (81) hepatorrhaphies, 363 (62) nephrectomies, 383 (48) bowel resections, 215 (48) spine exposures with laminectomies, and 173 (9) sternotomies. Additional procedures included 1028 (127) central venous lines, 878 (127) arterial lines, 90 (67) tube thoracostomies, 199 (37) carotid artery exposures, 394 (29) suprapubic urostomies, and placement of 278 (10) aortic occlusion catheters. At this time, the residents had 17 (10) presentations at national meetings, 8 (7) research awards, and published 20 peer-reviewed manuscripts. Additionally, the residents involved in the CCCRP gained valuable experience in critical care, including management of 110 traumatic brain injuries, 121 Intercranial Pressure catheters, 316 cases of hemorrhagic shock, and 211 massive transfusion protocols, among a variety of other vital critical care skills. This large animal CCCRP represents a unique training model that not only achieves its primary goal of fostering graduate medical education research but also bolsters Emergency General Surgery readiness for military surgical residents.

The Efficacy of GLP-1 Agonists in Treating Substance Use Disorder in Patients: A Scoping Review.

Substance use disorder (SUD) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality with limited treatments. There is interest in expanding the use of GLP-1 agonists in treating SUD. However, evidence for safety and efficacy in humans is limited. This review aims to bridge the existing knowledge gap by establishing a baseline of literature in this area to inform future trials and clinical practice. Our inclusion criteria were English peer-reviewed manuscripts reporting on use of GLP-1, GIP, and/or glucagon receptor agonists in treatment of SUDs, excluding case studies. The literature search was performed in accordance to PRISMA guidelines. Five studies were included in this review examining the use of this medication in tobacco use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and cocaine use disorder. No studies regarding substance withdrawal syndrome were identified. The included studies varied widely in terms of patient selection, dose/formulation of GLP-1 agonists, and follow-up. The results of this scoping review are mixed, with 3 studies demonstrating positive results and 2 studies finding no efficacy of this medication on SUD outcomes. It is premature to prescribe this medication off-label to patients. Further research is needed to determine the efficacy of GLP-1 agonists in treating SUD.

A review of the current standing of microRNA expression in canine urothelial carcinoma.

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most common urogenital cancer in dogs. With early diagnosis, the disease can be controlled, to reduce progression of disease, in most dogs with a good quality of life. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as a potential diagnostic and prognostic tool due to their stability and presence in both bodily fluids and tissues. MiRNAs have been frequently researched in human medicine and human UC; however, few manuscripts regarding miRNAs in canine UC are available. A search was performed on both PubMed and Google Scholar evaluating original research manuscripts with experimentally validated results for the terms "canine" or "dog"; "urothelial carcinoma," "bladder cancer," "transitional cell carcinoma," "TCC," "MIBC," "IMBUC," or "BLCA"; and "miRNA" or "microRNA." We identified 3 peer-reviewed manuscripts evaluating miRNA expression in canine UC and compared the reported miRNA expression studies to human UC to identify experimentally validated targets of the dysregulated miRNA. In this review, we highlight the similarities and differences between what is reported in canine UC and human UC and discuss the literature gaps that call for further evaluation.
