Simvastatin is among the most commonly used prescription medications for cholesterol reduction. A single coding single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs4149056T>C, in SLCO1B1 increases systemic exposure to simvastatin and risk of muscle toxicity. We summarize evidence from literature supporting this association provide therapeutic recommendations based on genotype. This article an update 2012 Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guideline simvastatin-induced myopathy.
Cholesterol reduction from statin therapy has been one of the greatest public health successes in modern medicine. Simvastatin is among most commonly used prescription medications. A non-synonymous coding single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs4149056, SLCO1B1 markedly increases systemic exposure to simvastatin and risk muscle toxicity. This guideline explores relationship between rs4149056 (c.521T>C, p.V174A) clinical outcome for all statins. The strength evidence high myopathy with...
Purpose: Medication errors related to hospital discharge result in rehospitalization and emergency department (ED) visits, yet no systematic approach has been implemented nationally decrease these medication errors. Pharmacist involvement during postdischarge transitions of care may be an important strategy prevent correct discrepancies reduce costly ED visits. Methods: This prospective, randomized, open-label, pilot study evaluated the effect a pharmacy clinic visit focused on...
Regardless of practice setting, it is imperative that pharmacists be able to either participate in generating new knowledge or use the ever-expanding body literature guide patient care. However, competing priorities Pharm.D. curricula and residency training programs have resulted limited emphasis on acquiring research scholarly skills. Factors likely contributing this reduced focus include lack curricular postgraduate standards emphasizing development skills, time commit activity,...

Methods. A retrospective analysis of Doctor Pharmacy graduates who conducted student between academic years 2002 2015 was performed. Data were collected participation, abstracts, presentations, training, full-time appointments, Results. Of 1229 graduates, 300 participated in during school. Fifty-six...
The AACP Leadership Development Special Interest Group (LD SIG) held a one-hour Virtual Networking Session during the American Association of Colleges Pharmacy (AACP) 2020 Annual Meeting. purpose session was to connect attendees with colleagues from other institutions sharing similar interests related leadership development through an engaging "Virtual Think Tank" (VTT). VTT included facilitated collaboration which enabled small groups develop "Collaborative Initiative Plans" (CLIPs) based...
Despite extensive warfarin use, optimal management of subtherapeutic international normalized ratios (INRs) remains unclear. This study assessed the differences in bridging practices among pharmacists with varying levels experience, residency training and prescribing privileges.An electronic survey was distributed to two ambulatory care pharmacist e-mail lists. Respondents indicated if they would utilize parenteral anticoagulation 16 clinical scenarios at three therapeutic time points. The...
The American Association of Colleges Pharmacy (AACP) Leadership Development Special Interest Group (LD SIG) held a one-hour "Virtual Think Tank" (VTT) interactive session in 2020 for pharmacy educators interested leadership development. purpose this study was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative outcomes VTT. VTT attendees worked together small groups created based on pre-selected common interest areas related development create collaborative initiative plans (CLIPs), which were...
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives. The increase computational power and data availability has led to a proliferation of both single- multi-modal models. As the GenAI ecosystem matures, need for extensible model-agnostic risk identification frameworks growing. To meet this need, we introduce Python Risk Identification Toolkit (PyRIT), an open-source framework designed enhance red teaming efforts systems. PyRIT model- platform-agnostic tool...
