Mosquitoes that feed on animals can survive and mediate residual transmission of malaria even after most humans have been protected with insecticidal bednets or indoor sprays. Ivermectin is a widely-used drug for treating parasites also insecticidal, killing mosquitoes treated subjects. Mass administration ivermectin to livestock could be particularly useful tackling by zoophagic vectors evade human-centred approaches. comes from different chemical class active ingredients currently used...

Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a drug used against wide variety of tumors, which can cause severe toxicity, possibly leading to the delay or suspension cycle, with consequent impact on prognosis survival. The main goal this work predict toxicities derived from CPT-11 using artificial intelligence methods. data for study conformed 53 cycles FOLFIRINOX, corresponding patients metastatic colorectal cancer. Supported by several demographic data, blood markers and pharmacokinetic parameters resulting...

Ivermectin is a widely used antiparasitic drug with known efficacy against several single-strain RNA viruses. Recent data shows significant reduction of SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro by ivermectin concentrations not achievable safe doses orally. Inhaled therapy has been success for other antiparasitics. An ethanol-based formulation was administered once to 14 rats using nebulizer capable delivering particles alveolar deposition. Rats were randomly assigned into three target dosing groups,...

Abstract Mass administration of endectocides, drugs that kill blood-feeding arthropods, has been proposed as a complementary strategy to reduce malaria transmission. Ivermectin is one the leading candidates given its excellent safety profile. Here we provide proof effect ivermectin can be boosted at two different levels by inhibiting cytochrome or ABC transporter in mammal host and target mosquitoes. Using mini-pig model, show drug-mediated P450/ABC inhibition results 3-fold increase time...

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of delayed elimination high-dose methotrexate (MTX) associated with concomitant omeprazole administration. CASE SUMMARY: Delayed MTX was observed in an 11-year-old white boy who concomitantly received and omeprazole. The patient's serum creatinine liver function tests were normal during treatment follow-up. only medication we suspected inhibiting 20 mg every 12 hours. Twenty-four hours after the first cycle (15 g), discontinued. Thereafter, patient one without...

OBJECTIVE: To establish a relationship between the pharmacokinetics of high-dose methotrexate (MTX) and toxicity in children pediatric oncology department to reassess MTX concentrations at which patients would be high risk for toxic effects. METHODS: This study included 37 (227 treatment courses) who received median dose 4.87 g/m 2 4-hour infusion. The population pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by parametric (IT2B) nonparametric methods (NPEM). Gastrointestinal, renal, hematologic...

Background: Levetiracetam (LEV) is a second-generation antiepileptic drug extensively used in therapeutics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence that sex, age, and weight exert on LEV pharmacokinetics clinical practice. Methods: We conducted 6-year retrospective observational study. Patients were classified subgroups according (normal range, overweight, obese), age (young adult: 16–30 years old, middle-aged 31–50 advanced 51–64 elderly ≥65 old). compared apparent oral...
