This is the final article in a six-part series on diversion of controlled substances in an acute health care setting. This series is meant to accompany the recommendations in the Hospital Pharmacy article “Controlled Substance Diversion Detection: Go the Extra Mile” for a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of controlled substance handling. 1 This series focuses on preventing diversion from automated dispensing cabinets, the operating room, and at all handling points within a pharmacy. The objective of the series is to provide practical recommendations to aid pharmacy managers as they seek to prevent or detect diversion. Experience is the key to diversion detection; however, a pharmacy should not have to experience its own diversion in order to learn from it. The collective experience of pharmacy leaders at the Ohio State University Medical Center and the University of Kansas Hospital are gathered to assist other pharmacy leaders in the hopes that they do not have to gain this experience firsthand. The fourth and fifth articles of this series described the investigation process and features of software packages that can aid in investigation, respectively. This article will describe the intervention process. An intervention, if warranted by the investigation, is the next step and a logical conclusion to this series.

This is the fifth of a six-part series on diversion of controlled substances in an acute health care setting. The six articles are meant to accompany the recommendations in the Hospital Pharmacy article “Controlled Substance Diversion Detection: Go the Extra Mile” for a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of controlled substance handling. 1 The series focuses on preventing diversion from automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs), the operating room, and at all handling points within a pharmacy. The objective of the series is to provide practical recommendations to aid pharmacy managers as they seek to prevent or detect diversion. Experience is key to diversion detection; however, a pharmacy should not have to experience its own diversion in order to learn from it. The collective experience of pharmacy leaders at the Ohio State University Medical Center and the University of Kansas Hospital are gathered to assist other pharmacy leaders in the hopes that they do not have to gain this experience firsthand. This article will describe the features of one popular reporting software package along with the experience that the University of Kansas Hospital has had in using this software. This description is an attempt to demonstrate the value of an add-on software package and to encourage its use by more hospital pharmacies.

This report highlights some of the major developments in the area of speech anatomy and physiology drawing from the author's own research experience during his years at the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois. He has benefited greatly from mentors including Professors James Curtis, Kenneth Moll, and Hughlett Morris at the University of Iowa and Professor Paul Lauterbur at the University of Illinois. Many colleagues have contributed to the author's work, especially Professors Jerald Moon at the University of Iowa, Bradley Sutton at the University of Illinois, Jamie Perry at East Carolina University, and Youkyung Bae at the Ohio State University. The strength of these researchers and their students bodes well for future advances in knowledge in this important area of speech science.

Postgraduate Courses—AAP The first two of a series of postgraduate courses being sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics will be held at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan, March 2, 3, 4, and 5, 1959; and at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, on March 17, 18, and 19, 1959. Tuition for these courses is $50 and $40, respectively, for Academy members. Fees for nonmembers will be $70 and $60, respectively. These courses will both be organized so that each day will be devoted to papers and discussions on a different pediatric problem. At the University of Michigan, Dr. James Wilson and the pediatric staff will be hosts, as well as part of the faculty for the course. Other speakers will include members of other departments and the guest speakers, Dr. Warren Wheeler, Professor of Pediatrics and Bacteriology, Ohio State University Medical School, and Dr. Frederick C. Robbins, Director, Department of Pediatrics and Contagious Diseases, Cleveland City Hospital.

<span>In the fall of 2002, Ohio State University along with the University of Washington, the University of Western Australia, Washington State University, and Glasgow University entered into a development partnership with Innovative Interfaces. The goal was to develop a module to manage electronic resources, integrated into Innovative’s Millennium library system. The product, Electronic Resource Management (ERM), became available in 2004 and is based on the work of the Digital Library Federation Electronic Resources Management Initiative. This article focuses on one aspect of ERM, the integration of the module with the Web OPAC, and describes how the Ohio State University Libraries replaced a back-end database with ERM to support lists of electronic resources on their Web site.</span>

Trends in Rare Books and Documents Special Collections Management, 2013 edition by James Moses surveys seven special collection institutions on their current efforts to expand, secure, promote, and digitize their holdings. The contents of each profile are generated by transcribed interviews, which are summarized and presented as a case study chapter. Seven special collections are discussed, including the Boston Public Library; AbeBooks; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Washington University of St. Louis; the Archives and Rare Books Library, University of Cincinnati; the Rare Books and Manuscript Library at The Ohio State University; and the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare . . .

This continuing feature will inform readers about the process of implementing, maintaining, and supporting prescriber computer order entry (PCOE) at the Ohio State University Medical Center. (By “prescribers,” we refer to health care professionals authorized to prescribe medications by their states.) Practical information on what worked and what failed will be provided, along with current updates on the status of PCOE at the Medical Center.

Abstract Objectives Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder commonly diagnosed in childhood. Current pharmaceutical treatment options provide a poor long-term risk: benefit ratio with little knowledge of the long-term effects. A broad-spectrum multi-nutrient formula has shown promise in children, but its effects on nutrient status and the underlying metabolome interactions have not been characterized. Methods Blood samples from medication-free children (n = 74) with ADHD enrolled in a double–blind randomized placebo-controlled multinutrient trial (RCT) were collected at baseline and 8 weeks post-intervention. Following RCT is an 8-week open label phase during which all participants took the active supplement. Symptoms were assessed using the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory 5. Double-blinded plasma samples will be analyzed for tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, magnesium, and zinc. Untargeted LC-MS metabolomics using HILIC chromatography and a high resolution QTof will assess very polar analytes in plasma extracts. Linear modeling will elucidate the influence of treatment, sampling time, and ADHD symptom score on plasma nutrient and plasma metabolite concentration. Results Preliminary findings of the open label phase show a significant improvement in inattention (P = 0.0435), hyperactivity (P = 0.0068), ODD (P = 0.0108) and DMDD (P = 0.0119). We hypothesize that these improvements in ADHD symptoms will be correlated with increased circulating concentrations of tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, magnesium, zinc, and metabolites involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and/or branched chain amino acid metabolism. Conclusions Preliminary findings indicate improvements of ADHD symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, ODD and DMDD following 8 weeks of open label multi-nutrient supplementation. Results of the double-blinded phase are expected to mirror those observed in the open label phase, with increases in nutrients in those receiving the multinutrient. Funding Sources The sample analyses were supported by NIH Award Number Grant P30 CA016058, OSU, and OSUCCC.
