Abstract

A vancomycin population pharmacokinetic prediction model for adult and elderly patients was developed using NONMEM. The predictability of the model was studied and compared with ten other models. Data were collected from routine care of 141 subjects. NONMEM was used to derive a population model. After internal evaluation using the bootstrap technique, external validation was studied using an independent dataset that consisted of 95 subjects; a statistical comparison of precision and bias was conducted. A two-compartment open model was derived with body weight, age, and CLcr as covariates. The bootstrap process showed stability of the model. A comparison of subjects older and younger than 65 years found that the older group had a mean clearance of 2.24 (+/- 1.2) l/h compared to 4.03 (+/- 1.7) l/h, and a peripheral volume of 43.7 (+/- 5.1) l compared to 28.4 (+/- 5.3) l compared to younger patients. These values were modeled using CLcr in the clearance equation and Vd as a function of age. The eleven models studied showed a bias in predicting serum concentrations from the test database that ranged from 0.35 mg/l to -5.93 mg/l. Precision ranged from 4.53 mg/l to 8.05 mg/l. Our method ranked in fourth place overall and when compare...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
