In episode three of our Community-based Solutions for Substance Use Challenges season, Just Science sits down with Dr. Chris Delcher, Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science and Director of the Institute for Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy at the University of Kentucky, to discuss how his team tracks community drug use through wastewater analysis. Much like analyzing a urine sample to determine what drugs an individual is using, analyzing wastewater from a community offers insight into drug trends across an entire region of people. The NIJ-funded weTEST program allows for the collection and analysis of wastewater from rest areas and truck stops in Kentucky to track current drug trends in a timely manner. Listen along as Dr. Delcher discusses his inspiration for using wastewater to monitor drug use, the sometimes-messy process of collecting wastewater samples, and how scientists approach ethical considerations that come with collecting data from wastewater systems. This Just Science season is supported, in part, by RTI Award No. 15PNIJ-21-GK-02192-MUMU, awarded by the National Institute of Justice, and by RTI Award No. 15PBJA-23-GK-02250-COAP, awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Both are agencies within the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

Twenty years ago, scientists found that phenylephrine, listed as a decongestant in many cold medicines, didn't work. What can you use instead? In September, an advisory committee for the Food and Drug Administration unanimously confirmed that phenylephrine—a common ingredient in cold medicines, including some types of Mucinex and Robitussin—doesn't work.For many physicians, pharmacists, and cold-sufferers, this came as no surprise. Phenylephrine's ineffectiveness had been an open secret in the healthcare community for decades.In 2005, Dr. Randy Hatton, clinical professor at the Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy Department at the University of Florida, managed the University of Florida Drug Information and Pharmacy Resource Center hotline. He often received calls from pharmacists reporting that phenylephrine-based drugs had no effect on improving colds.He came across research from Dr. Leslie Hendeles, professor emeritus of the College of Pharmacy, also at the University of Florida, from a decade prior. Dr. Hendeles had also found that the substance was ineffective. They partnered up and petitioned the FDA to publicly confirm their finding. Their collaboration was the first step toward the FDA's recent announcement.But despite the announcement, the removal of these drugs from shelves is not guaranteed. Pharmaceutical companies are appealing the FDA's decision, and are trying to stall an official declaration that prohibits their sale.Guest host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Hatton and Dr. Hendeles about the long road to the FDA's announcement.They discuss how their research proved phenylephrine's ineffectiveness, and which drugs people can turn to instead as cold season approaches.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
Today we take a deep dive into something we really haven't covered on the Hack My Age podcast. Rheumatoid arthritis. And we learn more about it from Indira Pulliadath who had her own struggles with rheumatoid arthritis and actually changed her profession as a pharmaeconomics researcher to a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP) because of it. She also has a Master's in Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy. But with all the knowledge she had on pharmaceuticals, she still found that medication alone wasn't enough when her arthritis was so bad, she could hardly function. So she started looking into healing diets, which worked so well it motivated her to switch careers and move into the nutrition world. Indira has since wrote a great cookbook, called 'AIP Indian Fusion', which has autoimmune protocol recipes inspired by Indian cuisine. You can also find her healthy recipes on her blog 'Cook2Nourish'. I will have links to all of Indira's information in the shownotes.

Whose job is it to teach risk management principles to pharmacy learners? Sure – they have to take a law course as part of their curricular requirements, but how much does that mean to them until they are in real life situations as part of their IPPEs, APPEs, or residency? As preceptors, it's important that we not only recognize and manage the legal risks of welcoming pharmacy learners within our pharmacy practice but also that we are prepared to teach practical concepts such as risk management in addition to developing their clinical skills. Listen to this episode where we talk with David Brushwood, a well-known expert, and educator in the practical and professional aspects of risk management and pharmacy law.HostKathy Schott, PhDCEimpact GuestsDavid Brushwood, RPh, JDSenior Lecturer, University of Wyoming School of PharmacyProfessor Emeritus, University of FloridaContent Development, CEimpactDavid Brushwood graduated with degrees in pharmacy and law from the University of Kansas.
