Clinical pharmacy education in new England: a report of the Whispering Pines Conference.

Clinical pharmacy practice as it relates to the future of the pharmacy profession has been examined at Hilton Head in 1985 and at regional conferences throughout the U.S. between 1986 and 1988. However, clinical pharmacy education and its role in the future of the profession had not been the focus of this type of "futuristic" conference. In 1988, the clinical pharmacy faculties from the four colleges of pharmacy in New England met to discuss the "Directions for Clinical Pharmacy Education in New England." Through a series of workshops, and stimulated by challenges from keynote speakers, the participants focused on the current status of clinical pharmacy education in New England, the barriers to change, and the strategies required to accomplish these changes. Consensus on prioritization of changes and their strategies was reached, and those that could be implemented in the near future were identified. Since the conference, changes have occurred and the professional networking that began at the conference has continued. This paper is a summary of the proceedings of this conference.

Reversible adsorption (desorption) of aspirin from activated charcoal.

The potential desorption of aspirin from activated charcoal was investigated in eight patients in a randomized cross-over study. Despite prebinding of aspirin, systemic absorption did occur. Desorption from activated charcoal was characterized by a peak salicylate concentration that was 16% of control and a time to peak salicylate concentration that was delayed in the study group. Bioavailability of aspirin from activated charcoal described by area under the curve was 19% of control. Elimination half-lives were similar in both groups until 12 hours after ingestion, but after 12 hours the half-life of the study group was prolonged while salicylate concentrations were undetectable in the control group. Fifteen percent to 20% of aspirin prebound to charcoal may desorb leading to systemic absorption. Furthermore, release from activated charcoal is initially delayed then sustained through 30 hours.
