The e-learning interventions studied were defined as any online or computer-based technology* used to deliver pharmacy education to pharmacy students or qualified pharmacists in a remote (out of classroom) setting. Evidence of short-term effectiveness of e-learning was found and a small number of studies provided evidence of long-term effectiveness. In comparisons, e-learning was demonstrated to be at least as effective as traditional face-to-face teaching methods and superior to no training at all. Six studies also demonstrated that e-learning could result in a change of pharmacists’ practice, while no evidence was found that e-learning could lead to patient benefit or improvements in care. E-learning also appears to be an engaging learning method, which is generally well received among participants. Despite a significant increase in the number of publications investigating e-learning within pharmacy education in the past five years, further research is still required to address limitations within the current literature and to fully establish the effectiveness of e-learning within pharmacy education.","PeriodicalId":265635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127767647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Arabs called alfalfa (or Lucerne) (Medicago sativa) by its grandeur name “The Father of All Foods,” and this claim became well-known among the botanists and the herbalists. The name is, of course, in recognition of its nutritive value. Modern science has collaborated this claim by revealing its actual content. Alfalfa, as a plant, is extensively used in animal feed worldwide. However, people can also consume this plant for its nutritive content and potential medicinal effects. The plant is known to contain phytoestrogens, namely coumestrol and apigenin [1]. In the United States, alfalfa has been used to produce hay suitable to maintain the life of livestock such as dairy cattle, mature ruminants, and horses [2]. When compared to other animal feed sources (Rhodes hay, Cynodon pasture, and linseed cake-maize mixture), alfalfa had the highest in Crude Protein (CP) content (approximately 24% vs. 7.5%) [3]. Alfalfa belonged to the plant family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) and was originally native to Iran. However, the plant has been cultivated worldwide since the Roman Empire [4].","PeriodicalId":265635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129825295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lysozyme was incubated to various concentrations (2-100 μM) of bisphenol A and phthalate for 6 weeks. The conformational stability of lysozyme was figured out by using Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. Biological activity of the samples was determined by an enzyme activity assay using Micrococcus lysodeikticus (M. luteus) as a specific substrate to lysozyme. A rate of change of 0.001 in absorbance at 450 nm (A450 nm) was used to define 1 unit of biologically active lysozyme. The DSC data showed significant (p<0.05) decrease in Tm and H values for lysozyme samples treated with BPA or DINP with increase in exposure time. The H value of BPA treated 7 days’ sample was negative which may indicate complete reversal of conformational integrity. In 7 days old DINP treated sample, no measurable peak was observed which may be due to complete loss of conformational structure. DSC data were further corroborated by FTIR and biological activity data. FTIR spectra of all the treated lysozyme samples showed the splitting of β sheet secondary structure which was completely lost in 7 days DINP treated samples which also showed the minimal biological activity. BPA and DINP (constituents of plastic bottles) may disrupt the conformational stability of protein which is expected to be more severe in human where they can remain longer than the 7 days’ exposure period used in this study.","PeriodicalId":265635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128098713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
