    Abstract The passing of Sam Enna in June of 2023 is major loss to the world of pharmacology. While best known for his extensive research activities in the area of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) pharmacology, Sam devoted much of his professional time to teaching and as an Editor in Chief for the legacy journals - the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (JPET - 1998-2003); Pharmacology & Therapeutics (P & T - 2003-2023) and Biochemical Pharmacology (BCP -2003-2023) - increasing the volume of submissions for all three journals and their Impact Factors while decreasing the time for peer review and publication. Sam was a well-respected consultant in the CNS area for the biopharmaceutical industry and served as Secretary General and President of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology where his efforts were focused on sustaining research integrity, particularly in the areas of data reproducibility and fraud. This Commentary provides a personal overview of Sam's 50-year career in pharmacology and briefly updates topics that were of keen interest to Sam including: developments on the continuing reproducibility crisis where systematic fraud continues to proliferate now reaching industrial scale proportions, aided and abetted by paper mills, AI and the erosion of meritocratic norms; and the fall and rise of CNS drug discovery.

    Abstract The experience of menopause is not "one size fits all." Instead, biologic, physiologic, and sociocultural factors strongly affect women's experiences of menopause symptoms and the ways in which they would like to manage their care. By providing culturally sensitive and patient-centered care, clinicians may be able to improve menopause experiences for all of their patients. However, a literature review revealed a lack of information about culturally responsive care for menopause. The first objective of this review is to discuss the ways in which sociocultural identity influences menopause care-seeking and management. The second objective is to introduce a framework of culturally responsive care for menopause.

    Abstract How has urbanization altered the relationships between species and selection on phenotypes? To address this question, Palacio and Ordano measured trait and frugivore selection in blue passionflower (Passiflora caerulea) in three different localities. Their analysis revealed changes in avian selection with urbanization, which altered population phenotypes.

    Abstract Skilled and compassionate communication with patients and their families is a priority in all areas of clinical practice. This is particularly important in palliative and end of life care, where people may feel frightened and vulnerable and require clear, honest and compassionate communication from healthcare professionals. However, many patients and families have reported dissatisfaction with their interactions with healthcare professionals in end of life care, including a lack of compassion and understanding of their emotional well-being. This article explores the literature on end of life communication with patients and families and discusses how improvements can be made in this area of practice.
