Welcome to Spring of 2018, known throughout the world as the season of drug shortages. In this same spirit of shortages, I’ll keep my comments very brief in this issue. In fact, I’d like to use this as an opportunity to ask questions. We all know that recent drug and fluid shortages have made it extraordinarily difficult to provide optimal patient care in every situation.

St. Louis College of Pharmacy
SSHP Chapter Update
|
|
St. Louis College of Pharmacy’s SSHP has started off the spring semester with multiple career development and community outreach events.
First, we had a fundraiser called “Pants with a Purpose.” This was a fundraising event in which for every pair of pants purchased, a pair was donated to St. Patrick’s Center for the Homeless. This event was a way for students to give back to their community, and SSHP was fortunately able to donate about $1800 to the charity.

Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis
|
Parkinson’s disease, a chronic and progressive neurologic disorder, afflicts nearly 10 million people worldwide.
1
The characteristic motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability, are thought to be caused by a loss of dopamine producing cells, along with decreased dopamine concentrations within the brain.

The Role of Pharmacists in Serving Autistic Patients
|
The prevalence of autism has skyrocketed over the last decade. In the 1980’s, one in 2000 children was diagnosed with autism. According to the CDC, that demographic has significantly increased to one in 68 children being diagnosed with autism in the United States.

With autism on the rise, the cost of caring for autistic patients in the United States has increased to 236 billion dollars per year.

APA develops Practice Guideline for the Pharmacological Treatment of Patients with Alcohol Use Disorder
|
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a pattern of alcohol use that includes compulsive alcohol use, loss of control over alcohol intake, and having withdrawal symptoms when decreasing or ceasing alcohol intake. Alcohol effects on physical, psychological, and mental health can lead to many diseases and injury-related health conditions.
|
|
New Treatment Options for Tardive Dyskinesia
|
It is estimated that there are about five million people currently taking antipsychotic medications and that number is continuing to rise as the use of antipsychotics has expanded beyond use for schizophrenia and are now used in bipolar disorder and major depression.
1
Adherence is critically important with antipsychotic treatment and a consistent barrier to medication adherence has been some concern over long-term consequences of side effects.

ECHOs for Opioids and Pain Management Benefit Pharmacists and Patients

The nationwide opioid crisis is focusing attention on why pharmacists must be involved in interdisciplinary care, especially for patients suffering from chronic pain or addiction. Treatment for these patients is improving in Missouri because pharmacists, physicians and other health professionals are sharing their expertise and experiences through
