Article Abstract

Technology is ubiquitous in both pharmacy education and practice, vital for optimizing the learning environment and delivering high-quality patient care. The growth of artificial intelligence, automation, and wearable technologies has prompted changes in pharmacy curricula, with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education now requiring education on digital health and associated technologies. Although technology offers significant benefits, it can also perpetuate inequities that disproportionately affect marginalized populations. These disparities arise from differences in technology access, varying levels of digital literacy, and biases embedded within technological tools. With the anticipated continuing expansion of technology use, creating equitable learning environments and preventing unintentional biases in patient care are paramount goals. Therefore, this commentary aims to introduce the concept of techquity and urge pharmacy educators to discuss not only digital health but also the sources of technology-driven inequities. Further, we encourage faculty to remain mindful of these inequities within the learning environment and explore ways to promote techquity in education. Educating future pharmacists about techquity will ensure a future where technology-based inequities are significantly minimized or eliminated.

Background: In Canada, the Indigenous population is the youngest and fastest growing, yet ongoing health disparities for Indigenous peoples are widely recognized. There is a concerning lack of research on childhood disabilities and health conditions in Indigenous populations in Canada. For children with disabilities and chronic health conditions, ongoing access to rehabilitation services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology, is critical in promoting positive health and developmental outcomes.

Synthesis of 2-Acyltryptamines through an Unexpected Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Formal 1,5-Migration of Functional Group from Indole-Tethered Ynamides.

J Org Chem

September 2025

Key Laboratory for Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Medicinal Resources (Ministry of Education of China), Guangxi Key Laboratory of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Medicinal Resources, University Engineering Research Center for Chemistry of Characteristic Medicinal Resources (Guangxi),

Herein, we have developed a Brønsted acid catalyzed 1,5-migration of functional groups from indole-tethered ynamides to prepare a variety of 2-acyltryptamines in good to excellent yields with high site-selectivity at the C2-position of indoles. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction underwent an intramolecular cyclization, 1,2-migration of the vinyl group, and C-N bond cleavage by hydrolysis in a one pot. The reaction features broad substrate scope, good functional group compatibility, 1,5-migration of functional groups, C-N bond cleavage to form C-C bond, and diverse 2-acyltryptamine scaffolds.

Migraine is an often-disabling condition and a common presentation to the Emergency Department (ED). Rapid and effective treatment are essential to reduce symptom burden, prevent recurrence, and improve patient outcomes. This review provides a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the pharmacologic management of acute migraine in the ED, including first-line therapies, rescue medications, adjunctive care strategies, and considerations for special populations.

Aims: Several diuretic strategies, including furosemide iv boluses (FB) or continuous infusion (FC), are used in acute heart failure (AHF).

Methods And Results: We systematically searched phase 3 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating diuretic regimens in admitted AHF patients within 48 hours and irrespective of clinical stabilization. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) of FC or FB plus another diuretic (sequential nephron blockade, SNB) compared to FB alone on 24-hour weight loss (WL) and worsening renal function (WRF), with a random-effects model with inverse variance weighting.
