The role of assessment in Doctor of Pharmacy education and program accreditation continues to evolve with the release of the Curricular Outcomes and Entrustable Professional Activities (COEPA) and Accreditation Councile for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards 2025. This special collection, entitled the COEPA-Curricular Assessment Blueprint and Needs Analysis (COEPA-CABaNA) highlights assessment best practices related to each COEPA subdomain. The articles in this collection provide a blueprint...

The effects of D1-V185T and D1-V185N mutations in Photosystem II (PSII) from Thermosynechococcus vestitus (formerly T. elongatus) and Synechocystis 6803, respectively, were studied using both EPR and optical kinetics. EPR spectroscopy reveals the presence of a mixture of a S(2) state in a high spin configuration (S(2)^(HS)) and in a low spin configuration (S(2)^(LS)) in both mutants. In contrast to the S(2)^(HS) in the wild type, the S(2)^(HS) state in the D1-V185T mutant does not progress to...

Safe and effective transportation of livestock during disease outbreaks is crucial for maintaining agricultural productivity and economic stability. This work offers a novel perspective on the transportation of hazardous biological materials within the veterinary field. In response to the complex challenges of managing livestock disease outbreaks, we evaluated different routing measures for safe land transport of diseased animals or infected materials. The potential disease exposure risk to...

CONCLUSION: Lipoprotein(a), LDL-C, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance were lower and HDL-C levels were higher for HT compared with placebo. Triglycerides increased in both the CEE and CEE+MPA trials, however. Future research should assess whether other progestogens attenuate the effect of estrogen on HDL-C. These results may be used to counsel younger menopausal women with bothersome symptoms who are deciding whether to initiate oral HT within the context of published...

CONCLUSION: Although participation in either CR program yielded cardiometabolic benefits, Pritikin intensive CR patients exhibited significantly greater improvements in dietary behavior and clinical risk factors.
