3% of respondents), work in environments that are not conducive to safe and effective primary care (26.5%), are not satisfied with the amount of time they have to do their job (44.0%) and face shortage of staff (shortage of pharmacists 33.7%, technicians 36.4%, clerk staff 30.3%). Significant factors associated with poor perception were workplace-imposed quotas, high prescription volume, working in chain pharmacies and long prescription wait times. Conclusion A high percentage of Canadian pharmacists perceived their working conditions to be poor. Considering the patient-related consequences of pharmacists' poor working conditions and the system-related reasons identified behind it, we call for collaborative efforts to tackle this issue.Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is recommended in patients with established cardiovascular disease. However, the role of ASA in those without cardiovascular disease (i.e., primary prevention) is less clear, which has led to discordance among Canadian guidelines. In 2018, 3 double-blind, randomized controlled trials were published that evaluated ASA 100 mg daily versus placebo in patients without established cardiovascular disease. In the ASPREE trial, ASA did not reduce the risk of all-cause death, dementia, or persistent physical disability in patients ≥70 years of age but increased the risk of major bleeding.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Y-27632.html  In the ARRIVE trial, ASA failed to lower the risk of a composite of cardiovascular events but increased any gastrointestinal bleeding in patients at intermediate risk of cardiovascular disease. In the ASCEND trial, ASA significantly reduced the primary composite cardiovascular outcome in patients with diabetes for a number needed to treat of 91 over approximately 7.4 years. Yet major bleeding was increased with ASA for a number needed to harm of 112. Therefore, in most situations, ASA should not be recommended for primary cardiovascular prevention. However, there are additional indications for ASA beyond cardiovascular disease. Thus, a sequential algorithm was developed based on contemporary evidence to help pharmacists determine the suitability of ASA in their patients and play an active role in educating their patients about the potential benefits (or lack thereof) and risks of ASA. Can Pharm J (Ott) 2020;153xx-xx.[This corrects the article DOI 10.1177/1715163519879179.].To address the changes in health care and the needs of society related to medicines, we must redefine the profession of pharmacy. We have defined the next generation pharmacists (NGP) as "a health care provider and change agent on the interprofessional health care team, personalizing medication use, managing safe and effective medication systems, and creating healthier communities." Schools and colleges of pharmacy should thoroughly examine their curriculum to ensure it is preparing pharmacists for this future. By creating a vision for the NGP and implementing the best curriculum, we ensure that pharmacists of the future will be up to the challenge of our society's health care needs..Background It remains unclear whether brain fog is related to impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) in postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) patients. Methods We assessed CBF in the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) using transcranial Doppler with visual stimuli in 11 POTS and 8 healthy subjects in the seated position, followed by neurocognitive testing. Results CBF parameters were similar between the two groups. POTS patients demonstrated significantly longer latency in delayed match to sample response time and greater errors in attention switching task. Conclusions Impaired short-term memory and alertness may underlie the symptom of brain fog in POTS patients, despite normal CBF.Electrocardiogram showing a regular wide QRS tachycardia with left branch block (LBBB) like in morphology at 200 beats per minute (bpm). During electrophysiology study, it suddenly gets narrow and faster. What is the mechanism of the switch from a broad complex to a narrow complex tachycardia?Fasciculoventricular accessory pathways are rare variants of preexcitation. The differential diagnosis of fasciculoventricular accessory pathways from other preexcitation variants can be challenging. Based on two cases, we discuss the specific electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic features of fasciculoventricular bypass tracts.This is a case of a 63-year-old female presenting with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and postmenopausal osteoporosis with findings showing abnormal AFT with reduced heart rate variability (HRV) and multiple lobed Poincaré plot, pointing to premature atrial contractions.Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a relatively common anomaly. In patients with tricuspid valve repair/replacement (TVR)the control of atrioventricular conduction irregularity can be demanding, given the unavailability for implantation of the right ventricular (RV) endocardial lead, which is not recommended in such cases because of the risk of lead fracture at the valve site and valve damage or failure. Thus, epicardial lead may be an option; it requires a surgical procedure and it is not preferred in patients with prior thoracotomy. Lead implantation via coronary sinus (CS) can be an alternative to conventional right ventricular pacing in this patient population.We report the use of the new automated tool LumipointTM for the detection of LAVA (local abnormal ventricular activities) when they are buried within the far-field ventricular signal, especially in regions of preserved myocardial thickness, such as the left ventricular (LV) septum. The LV substrate and the tachycardia circuit during ventricular tachycardias of a 60-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy were mapped using an ultra-high-density mapping system and then the LumipointTM, analyzing the EGMs of interest, identified the LAVA in the inferoseptal region. This algorithm may be helpful to quickly target the septal substrate avoiding misleading interpretation.Recent studies have shown that cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is effective in the treatment of refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmia in patients with structural heart disease. This case report aimed to highlight the effect of bilateral CSD in suppressing treatment-resistant ventricular tachycardia in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
