This opinion paper expanded on the WHO "six-step approach to optimal pharmacotherapy," by detailed exploration of the underlying pharmacological andpathophysiological principles. This exercise led to the identification of a large number of domains of research that should be addressed to make clinicalpharmacology progress toward "precision clinical pharmacology," as a prerequisite for precision medicine.
In order to improve clinical efficacy and safety in patient groups (to guide drug development) as well as in individuals (to guide therapeutic options andoptimize clinical outcome), developments in clinical pharmacology should at least tackle the following (1) molecular diagnostic assays to guide drugdesign and development and allow physicians to identify the optimal targets for therapy in the individual patient in a quick and precise manner (to guideselection of the right drug for the right patient); (2) the setting up and validation of biomarkers of target engagement and modification as predictors ofclin key to achieve such an ambitious program.
Ketamine has rapid-onset antidepressant effects in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Common side effects include dissociation (a sense of detachment from reality) and increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The objective of this structured review was to examine the effect of ketamine formulation and route of administration on its pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability, to identify formulation characteristics and routes of administration that might minimise side effects.
This was a structured review of published ketamine pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability data for any ketamine formulation. The ratio of ketaminenorketamine was calculated from reported C
values, as a measure of first pass metabolism. The effect of formulation and route of administration on safety was evaluated by measuring mean changes in systolic blood pressure and tolerability by changes in dissociation ratings. Data were correlated using Spearman's method.
A total of 41 treatment arms were identified from 21 publications, and included formulation development studies in healthy volunteers, and studies in clinical populations (patients undergoing anaesthesia, or being treated for pain or depression). Ketaminenorketamine ratios were strongly positively correlated with change in dissociation ratings (r= 0.89) and change in blood pressure (r= 0.96), and strongly negatively correlated with ketamine T
(r= - 0.87; p< 0.00001 for all). CCT241533 mw Ketamine T
strongly positively correlated with a change in dissociation ratings (r= - 0.96) and change in blood pressure (r= - 0.99; p< 0.00001 for all).
Ketamine formulations that maximize first pass metabolism and delay T
will be better tolerated and safer than formulations which lack those characteristics.
Ketamine formulations that maximize first pass metabolism and delay Tmax will be better tolerated and safer than formulations which lack those characteristics.Although the frequency of pregnancy in women on chronic dialysis is extremely low, it is associated with severe maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This situation represents a challenge for the therapeutic team, which requires multidisciplinary management, as well as measures to adequate dialysis treatment. Such efforts include increasing the time and frequency of dialysis session, maintaining low uremia levels and ensuring hemodynamic stability by avoiding intra-treatment arterial hypotension and hydro electrolytic fluctuations. Regarding the dialysis modality, literature makes references to hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in pregnancy women, but little is known about the of high volume online hemodiafiltration (HVHDF) as well as the appropriate type of replacement fluid (pre-dilution or post-dilution). We present two cases of patients who were pregnant while being treated with HVHDF modality and had a favorable evolution, where the decision to continue with this dialysis modality was motivated by a best hemodynamic stability and the highest clearance of all types of uremic toxins offered by HVHDF.The current study was conducted to assess the level of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) contamination (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, As, Cd, and Ni) in surface soils from Arak city. Arak, which is an industrial city, is a prominent center of chemicals, metal/electric, manufacturing factories, and other industries. Forty-three surface soil samples were collected from 0-20 cm after removing the visible surface contamination in the dry season in June 2017. Metal concentrations were found highly variable, ranging from 174-3950 mg/kg for Cu, 181-3740 mg/kg for Pb, 48-186 mg/kg for Zn, 105-1721 mg/kg for Ni, 0.8-0.9 mg/kg for As, 114-1624 mg/kg for Cr, and 3.45-12.36 mg/kg for Cd. The results of geochemical fraction indicated that the main components of Pb, Cr, and Zn at most of the sampling sites are Fe-Mn bound/reducible. Meanwhile, the residual fraction is the dominant fraction of sequence extraction for Ni, Cu, and Cd. Higher values of reducible bound for Pb, Cr, and Zn, as well as a considerable percentage of Ni, Cu, and Cfrom previously leaded gasoline. The findings concerning the applied end-member contribution of geogenic and industrial and vehicle emission represented that the contribution could vary from 68.0% to 15% (mean 39.3) for industrial emission, 65% to 19% for vehicle exhaust (mean 39), and 46% to 10% (mean 21.6) for geogenic sources.Transmembrane substrate cleavage by the small Escherichia coli rhomboid protease GlpG informs on mechanisms by which lipid interactions shape reaction coordinates of membrane-embedded enzymes. Here, I review and discuss new work on the molecular picture of protein-lipid interactions that might govern the formation of the substrate-enzyme complex in fluid lipid membranes. Negatively charged PG-type lipids are of particular interest, because they are a major component of bacterial membranes. Atomistic computer simulations indicate POPG and DOPG lipids bridge remote parts of GlpG and might pre-occupy the substrate-docking site. Inhibition of catalytic activity by PG lipids could arise from ligand-like lipid binding at the active site, which could delay or prevent substrate docking. Dynamic protein-lipid H-bond networks, water access to the active site, and fluctuations in the orientation of GlpG suggest that GlpG has lipid-coupled dynamics that could shape the energy landscape of transmembrane substrate docking.
