Abstract Almost every facet of modern biomedical research involves artificial intelligence (AI). This ACCP commentary forecasts the role AI in clinical pharmacy and scholarship. The potential benefits/opportunities together with limitations/challenges are reviewed for stages scientific method including (1) developing question(s), study design, execution; (2) data analysis; (3) reporting dissemination research. Benefits opportunities include streamlining hypothesis generation facilitating...
Radioisotope-labeled lycopene is an important tool for biomedical research but currently not commercially available. A tomato cell suspension culture system the production of radioisotope-labeled was previously developed in our laboratory. In current study, goal to optimize extraction efficiency from cultures preparatory high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation. We employed response surface methodology (RSM), which combines fractional factorial design and a second-degree...
The specific aim of this study is to develop machine learning models as a clinical approach for personalized treatment osteoporosis. model performance on outcome prediction was compared between four algorithms. Retrospective, electronic data patients with suspected or confirmed osteoporosis treated at Wan Fang Hospital 2011 2018 were used inputs building the following predictive models,i.e., artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF), support vector (SVM) and logistic regression...
Sutherlandia frutescens (L.) R.Br. (SF) is a medicinal plant indigenous to southern Africa and used in folk contemporary remedies for stress, chronic diseases, cancer, HIV/AIDS. While previous studies have focused on physiological effects of SF cellular systemic abnormalities associated with these little known about its the brain immune cells central nervous system. Results this study indicate that ethanol extracts (SF-E) suppress NMDA-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production...
The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) was introduced to reduce readmission rates among Medicare beneficiaries, however little is known about readmissions and costs for HRRP-targeted conditions in younger populations. primary objective of this study examine trends targeted during policy implementation older adults the U.S.We analyzed Nationwide Readmission Database from January 2010 September 2015 (18-64 years) (≥65 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure...
Consumption of tomato products has been associated with decreased risks chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, therefore the biological functions carotenoids lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene are being investigated. To study absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion these carotenoids, a bioengineered Escherichia coli model was evaluated for laboratory-scale production stable isotope-labeled carotenoids. Carotenoid biosynthetic genes from Enterobacter agglomerans were...
Abstract Introduction Pharmacy education and postgraduate training in the United States (US) are esteemed, drawing international students to American Council for Education (ACPE)‐accredited schools pursuing residency after graduation. Despite this, limited literature addresses obstacles face Society of Health‐System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited programs. Objectives To summarize potential eligibility barriers graduates ACPE programs during application process from program directors' (RPDs)...
Abstract Introduction In response to the opioid crisis, New York State (NYS) mandated training for all licensed professionals authorized prescribe controlled substances. Content included state and federal requirements prescribing substances, pain management, appropriate prescribing, managing acute pain, palliative care, prevention, screening signs of addiction; responses abuse end‐of‐life care. Training was required be completed by 1 July 2017. Objectives The primary aim this analysis answer...
Patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and high-risk opioid are at risk of serious complications. The purpose this study was to estimate the prevalence factors associated in patients an problem from 2005 2018.
Sutherlandia is an herb native to southern Africa and traditionally used in various inflammatory conditions. Previously, we reported that ethanolic extract of (SE) had anti‐inflammatory activity murine macrophages. This study was designed investigate the impact SE on inflammation‐related intracellular signaling pathways, identify bioactive component(s) this herb. RAW 264.7 cells were exposed concentrations for 1 hr, then response triggered by co‐treatment with LPS IFNγ. The phosphorylated...
Consumption of tomato products has been associated with decreased risks chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid accumulated in red fruits usually thought to be main bioactive compound. However, studies from our laboratory have shown that whole consumption more beneficial than lycopene alone animal models prostate cancer, therefore other carotenoids like phytoene phytofluene are being investigated. In order study biological...
Abstract Purpose/objectives Reports have described pharmacists providing services within academic dental settings. The full scope of these activities and where they exist is unreported. This environmental scan was performed to identify summarize the levels in which provide support predoctoral education programs. Methods A survey circulated summer 2019 all CODA accredited schools through American Dental Education Association (ADEA) clinical dean listserv. IRB approved consisted 23 questions...
