Pharmacokinetic investigation of desferrioxamine (DFO) was conducted in 11 thalassaemic patients following continuous intravenous infusion 50 mg/kg/24 hr over 48 hr. Serial venous blood samples were obtained at regular time intervals during and on stopping DFO infusion. Plasma processed with the addition radioactive iron (59Fe) to stabilize free ligand forms its metabolites. This resulted formation both nonradioactive ferrioxamine Following solid-phase extraction, plasma analyzed by a...

Peroxynitrite is a powerful oxidising and nitrating agent generated in vivo by the combination of nitric oxide superoxide. Previous studies have shown that on exposure to peroxynitrite, low density lipoprotein (LDL) modified resulting both time‐ concentration‐dependent change lipid protein components. The present investigation highlights reaction between carotenoids tocopherols, within lipophilic phase LDL, peroxynitrite at varying concentrations. It was observed were consumed significantly...
The urinary metabolic profiles of two novel orally active iron chelators, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (CP20 or L1) and 1,2-diethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (CP94), have been studied in rats. metabolism CP20 was also humans. Four metabolites CP20, a further three CP94 were characterized. found to undergo extensive phase II at the 3-hydroxy position, forming predominantly O-glucuronide, which accounted for 44% dose administered rat greater than 85% man. 3-O-methylated metabolite...

Timely diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) enables access to antiretroviral treatment, which reduces mortality, morbidity and further transmission in people living with HIV. In the UK, late among black African persists. Novel methods enhance HIV testing this population are needed. To develop a self-sampling kit (SSK) intervention increase Africans, using existing community health-care settings (stage 1) assess feasibility for Phase III evaluation 2).

Primary healthcare internationally is facing a workforce crisis with fewer junior doctors choosing general practice (GP) as career. In the UK, national report on GP careers highlighted adverse influences during medical school students' career choices. The authors explored these in two urban UK schools, both relatively low numbers of students entering training.

We describe a humanities-based, special studies module (SSM) exploring the impact of cancer on lives patients, families and professionals. Literature, film, art drama provide third year medical undergraduates with vicarious experience all these perspectives in format that has proved highly acceptable to students tutors. The development, delivery, evaluation evolution this humanities-based course are described we highlight some important elements organisation emerged as being integral its success.
