Residency Program Directors View on the Value of Teaching
Conclusions:
Future residency candidates interested in teaching or a career in academia may utilize these findings to identify programs that are more likely to value developing pharmacy educators. The implementation of a standardized teaching experience among all programs may be difficult. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy Practice)

Review of the Target-Specific Oral Anticoagulants in Development for the Treatment and Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism
The objective of this systematic review article is to provide clinicians an overview of the clinical evidence on the investigational TSOACs for the treatment and prevention of VTE. Of the agents in development, edoxaban holds the most promise due to robust data supporting its clinical benefit with a similar bleeding risk to currently approved agents. Clinicians should understand the TSOACs under investigation, since differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may influence clinical decision making and agent selection for management of VTE. Currently, no direct comparisons between TSOACs have been conducted. Agents...

Luminal Toxin-Binding Agents for Clostridium difficile Infection
Conclusion:
LTBA monotherapy is inferior to vancomycin and metronidazole for CDI. Some data indicate possible benefit in reducing recurrent CDI, but outcomes with adjunctive and/or sequential LTBAs are unavailable. Further studies are needed to investigate the role of LTBAs for CDI. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy Practice)

An Evaluation of Adverse Drug Reactions Associated With Antipsychotic Use for the Treatment of Delirium in the Intensive Care Unit
Conclusions:
ADRs were observed in 18% of patients having delirium treated with antipsychotics with about half considered severe or harmful. A risk versus benefit assessment is needed before initiating antipsychotic therapy in ICU patients. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy Practice)

Perceptions, Barriers, and Knowledge of Inpatient Glycemic Control: A Survey of Health Care Workers
Conclusion:
Knowledge regarding hyperglycemia management was suboptimal across a sample of health care workers when compared to clinical best practices. Hyperglycemia management was perceived to be important but convenience seemed to influence the management approach more than efficacy. Knowledge, perceptions, and barriers seem to play an important role in patient care and should be considered when developing education programs prior to implementation of optimized glycemic protocols.
