    Abstract Tuberculosis continues to be a major infectious disease burden worldwide. Increasing drug resistance to first-line agents is making treatment more difficult. Bedaquiline is an orally administered drug active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is indicated for patients with confirmed multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. This review aims to identify published literature reporting on the pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline, with a focus on key factors and drug interactions that may affect its use. Findings identified multiple areas for future study. First, exposure-response relationships should be further developed to determine the best ways to monitor both efficacy and safety. Second, dosing may be optimized through greater understanding of specific factors that may influence observed concentrations, including patient demographics and comorbidities. Finally, firm guidance for co-administration of bedaquiline with other drugs known to induce or inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes is urgently required.

    Abstract Background: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) remain an integral part of pharmacy education. This study aimed to characterize key researchers, areas, and themes in pharmacy education OSCEs using a bibliometric review with content analysis.
    Methods: A bibliometric review was conducted on literature from over 23 years from January 2000 to May 2023. Articles focusing on any type of OSCE research in pharmacy education in both undergraduate and postgraduate sectors were included. Articles were excluded if they were not original articles or not published in English. A summative content analysis was also conducted to identify key topics.
    Results: A total of 192 articles were included in the analysis. There were 242 institutions that contributed to the OSCE literature in pharmacy education, with the leading country being Canada. Most OSCE research came from developed countries and were descriptive studies based on single institution data. The top themes emerging from content analysis were student perceptions on OSCE station styles (n = 98), staff perception (n = 19), grade assessment of OSCEs (n = 145), interprofessional education (n = 11), standardized patients (n = 12), and rubric development and standard setting (n = 8).
    Implications: There has been a growth in virtual OSCEs, interprofessional OSCEs, and artificial intelligence OSCEs. Communication rubrics and minimizing assessor variability are still trending research areas. There is scope to conduct more research on evaluating specific types of OSCEs, when best to hold an OSCE, and comparing OSCEs to other assessments.

    Abstract Polarization vision is used by a wide range of animals for navigating, orienting, and detecting objects or areas of interest. Shallow marine and semi-terrestrial crustaceans are particularly well known for their abilities to detect predator-like or conspecific-like objects based on their polarization properties. On land, some terrestrial invertebrates use polarization vision for detecting suitable habitats, oviposition sites or conspecifics, but examples of threat detection in the polarization domain are less well known. To test whether this also applies to crustaceans that have evolved to occupy terrestrial habitats, we determined the sensitivity of two species of land and one species of marine hermit crab to predator-like visual stimuli varying in the degree of polarization. All three species showed an ability to detect these cues based on polarization contrasts alone. One terrestrial species, Coenobita rugosus, showed an increased sensitivity to objects with a higher degree of polarization than the background. This is the inverse of most animals studied to date, suggesting that the ecological drivers for polarization vision may be different in the terrestrial environment.

    Abstract Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is rapidly increasing in use worldwide, with many countries now publicly funding use for high risk populations. Pharmacists, as front-line care providers, must have the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to effectively provide care to PrEP patients. The aim of this review was to identify priority areas and key gaps for continuing professional development (CPD) needs relating to PrEP for practicing pharmacists. An electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts and CPD-related journals was supplemented with a manual search of references to identify articles describing pharmacists' knowledge, perceptions and experience with PrEP. A total of eight articles were identified across four countries. Pharmacists were consistently found to lack knowledge and awareness of PrEP, express low confidence/comfort with patient care practices, report a lack of experience and/or intentions to provide patient care, but overall had positive perceptions of PrEP therapy. Older pharmacists with more experience commonly reported greater knowledge gaps than recently trained pharmacists. CPD should therefore aim to increase pharmacists' baseline knowledge and awareness of PrEP and treatment guidelines, as well as be directed towards older pharmacists with more experience.

    Abstract INTRODUCTION Sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates continue to rise in New Zealand. To effectively prevent, test and diagnose STIs in a timely manner to limit their health effects, health services must be appropriate and accessible for all. AIM The aim of this review was to identify and collate the existing literature and identify gaps in research relating to STI health service delivery in New Zealand. METHODS A critical narrative literature review was conducted. A keyword search of PubMed (2010 to October 2020), EMBASE (2010 to October 2020) and Google Scholar (2010 to October 2020) was conducted. The electronic search was supplemented with manual screening of references from identified articles. Eligible studies reported on STI service delivery in New Zealand. Articles not meeting these criteria were excluded. Articles solely reporting on the human papillomavirus vaccine or condom use statistics or perceptions were also excluded. Data extracted included study year, authors, aim, methods and outcome results. RESULTS A total of 179 articles were identified, including 16 that met study inclusion criteria. Nine studies focused on STI testing, five on health-seeking behaviours and two had other foci. The results reflected substantial gaps in the funding and delivery of best-practice STI management across all New Zealand. DISCUSSION New strategies are needed to improve access to low-cost or free services for sexual health care in general and clinic-wide systems implemented to enable routine delivery of advice about STI prevention and testing by clinicians to patients.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a cancer-themed escape room as a learning activity for pharmacy students.
    Methods: A cancer-themed escape room was developed with four activities linked to patient assessment, communication, therapeutics and calculations. Twenty-six groups of six students challenged the escape room. Outcomes included student performance measures and resources required. A SWOC (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges) analysis was also conducted.
    Results: A total of 20 student groups (77%) successfully escaped. The average escape time was 22 min. The SWOC analysis identified strengths of student engagement, opportunities for expansion, weaknesses related to student preparation, and some logistical challenges.
    Conclusion: A cancer-themed escape room is a viable learning tool for pharmacy students.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the incidence and types of adverse effects between 3 recommended treatment options for gonorrhea and to compare the incidence of injection site pain between single-dose intramuscular ceftriaxone and gentamicin.
    Data sources: A keyword search of MEDLINE (1966 to September 2020), EMBASE (1947 to September 2020), and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1970 to September 2020) was conducted. The electronic search was supplemented with manual screening of references.
    Study selection and data extraction: Comparator studies reporting adverse effect outcomes of treatment with cefixime, ceftriaxone, or gentamicin for gonorrhea in humans were included. Data extracted included study year, authors, aim, setting, population, dosing protocols, and outcome results.
    Data synthesis: A total of 298 articles were identified, of which 6 met inclusion criteria. Two randomized controlled trials compared ceftriaxone and gentamicin. Four randomized controlled trials compared cefixime and ceftriaxone. No differences were noted for the occurrence of at least 1 adverse effect between gentamicin and ceftriaxone (odds ratio [OR] = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.56-1.18) or between cefixime and ceftriaxone (OR = 1.11; 95% CI = 0.21-5.93). Injection site pain (ceftriaxone and gentamicin) and other adverse effects (all drugs) were common but occurred at similar rates between groups.
    Relevance to patient care and clinical practice: Results of this review show a lack of signal for safety concerns with gentamicin-based regimens for the treatment of gonorrhea. Future research should investigate patient acceptability, especially for intramuscular injections.
    Conclusions: The use of single-dose cefixime, ceftriaxone, and gentamicin-based regimens for treatment of gonorrhea appears to be safe and acceptable for use in practice.
