    Abstract Beyond the commonly known clinical presentation of neurofibromatosis, vascular pathologies are increasingly becoming a known complication. We present a case of a 41-year-old adult with neurofibromatosis type 1 who came with a right-sided spontaneous hemothorax due to a ruptured 13-mm fusiform aneurysm of the right posterior T9 intercostal artery. Patient underwent a transcatheter angiographic embolization with subsequent video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for a retained hemothorax. Patient was discharged home on Hospital Day 5, and follow-up imaging demonstrated a complete resolution of the hemothorax. This presented case contributes to literature by demonstrating intra-arterial embolization as a viable option to obtain hemostasis in fragile vessels. However, this may not always result in hemostasis, and VATS should be considered to achieve and ensure complete hemostasis.

    Abstract The current article provides an overview of an interprofessional service-learning course that became virtual in the setting of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Telehealth video technologies were used to build an intergenerational, virtual classroom and increase engagement of older adults with interdisciplinary health professional students. The virtual classroom involved group health education sessions, individualized Medicare wellness visits, and a clinical huddle. The course addressed the public health need for reliable health information during the early days of the pandemic, social connection, and meeting the educational goals for health care students and older adults in a novel virtual setting. Lessons learned for the interdisciplinary team and for engaging older adults included the need for preparation reading, team building exercises, training videos, and telehealth competency checklists. Beyond the pandemic, adoption of virtual methods enables hybrid approaches to interprofessional education and builds competencies for delivery of telehealth and computer-based visits in professional practice settings.

    Abstract The Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) is a health information exchange in Maryland that is designed to improve communication among members of the health care team including physicians, nurses, and other health professionals. Senior care pharmacists gained access to CRISP through successful collaborative efforts at both the state and national levels. This involved efforts to address medication-related problems that continue to be a concern during transitions of care, especially for older, vulnerable adults. Having access to recent clinical data assists the senior care pharmacist in providing medication therapy management services during transitions of care-the movement of a patient from one setting of care to another.This article highlights the importance of collaboration and advocacy between state and national leadership of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) with key stakeholders to negotiate and gain access to such information for senior care pharmacists working in the post-acute and long-term care settings in Maryland.

    Abstract The purpose of this manuscript is to provide pharmacists with education on hearing loss that colleagues in audiology believe is most critical for pharmacists. As well as highlighting insightful interventions pharmacists can make in collaboration with hearing professionals, such as audiologists, otolaryngologists, and otologists, to improve patient care. This project was initiated by professional students at the University of Maryland in both Baltimore and College Park campuses, after completing the interprofessional elective course IPE Care in Geriatrics. Upon completion of the course, the authors performed an extensive literature search and reviewed publications pertaining to pharmacy, audiology, and their integration.Hearing loss can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life. Older people are at an increased risk for experiencing hearing impairment, but often do not seek help from health care providers. Collaboration between audiologists, otolaryngologists, and pharmacists has the potential to improve patients' access to hearing health and break barriers for patients. Important interventions that pharmacists can make to better serve their patients with hearing loss include screening, enhancing communication, and hearing aid assistance. This article also provides guidance on identifying patients who would be candidates for over-the-counter hearing aids and patients who should be referred to a hearing professional. This skill will become increasingly relevant with the emergence of over-the-counter hearing aids.

    Abstract National organizations have developed guidelines and tools for antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in post-acute and long-term care (PALTC), but there is a need to effectively translate these into actionable, measurable, and impactful programs. An electronic needs assessment survey was developed and distributed to health care providers and administrators involved with AMS activities in PALTC facilities in Maryland. The results of this survey were used to develop a statewide initiative to improve AMS in nursing facilities. The survey revealed that barriers to implementing AMS include limited access or poor utilization of experts in AMS and infectious disease, adverse event data collection tools, and locally developed protocols and guidelines. Strategies to improve AMS included the provision of free continuing education to a multidisciplinary audience and improved access to individuals with expertise in infectious disease and the development of an adverse drug event tool. Continuing to provide meaningful tools and resources that address the specific needs of nursing facilities should lead to improved compliance with regulations and ultimately improved resident outcomes.

    Abstract Venous thromboembolism is a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Catheter-directed thrombolytics is the primary treatment used to relieve critical obstructions, though its efficacy varies based on the thrombus composition. Non-responsive portions of the specimen often remain in situ, which prohibits mechanistic investigation of lytic resistance or the development of diagnostic indicators for treatment outcomes. In this study, thrombus samples extracted from venous thromboembolism patients were analyzed ex vivo to determine their histological properties, susceptibility to lytic therapy, and imaging characteristics. A wide range of thrombus morphologies were observed, with a dependence on age and etymology of the specimen. Fibrinolytic inhibitors including PAI-1, alpha 2-antiplasmin, and TAFI were present in samples, which may contribute to the response venous thrombi to catheter-directed thrombolytics. Finally, a weak but significant correlation was observed between the response of the sample to lytic drug and its magnetic microstructure assessed with a quantitative MRI sequence. These findings highlight the myriad of changes in venous thrombi that may promote lytic resistance, and imaging metrics that correlate with treatment outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Dementia treatment guidelines are not consistent in determining how long to continue acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) treatment in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
    Objective: Our aim was to examine reasons for AChEI discontinuation in a nursing home to better understand how practitioners actually decide when to stop treatment.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review was done on 107 deceased nursing home veterans who had been taking an AChEI to determine the time between discontinuation and death.
    Results: In the majority of residents (n = 67; 63%), the AChEI was continued into the week preceding death. Reasons for discontinuation were dying or death (n = 56; 52%), admission to hospice (n = 13; 12.2%), and admission to the nursing home (n = 5; 4.7%). Admission to hospice (P = 0.01), hospice length of stay (P = 0.0004), and length of stay at Minnesota Veterans Home (P = 0.02) were significantly associated with discontinuation of AchEI before the last week of life.
    Conclusion: Our study showed that residents were significantly more likely to have their AChEI discontinued if they were either admitted to hospice, stayed longer in hospice, or stayed longer in the nursing home. In addition, the majority of residents continued AChEI treatment until sometime during the week before death occurred.
