25. Pharmacodynamics of Pulse Dosing versus Standard Dosing: In Vitro Metronidazole Activity against Bacteroides fragilis and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron
Pulse dosing is a novel approach to dosing that produces escalating antibiotic levels early in the dosing interval followed by a prolonged dose-free period. Antibiotic is frontloaded by means of four sequential bolus injections, after which antibiotic levels are allowed to diminish until the next dose. This study compares standard thrice-daily dosing and pul

26. Double-blind randomized study comparing the efficacies and safeties of a short (3-day) course of azithromycin and a 5-day course of amoxicillin in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
The efficacies and safeties of a three-dose regimen of azithromycin (500 mg once daily for 3 days) and a 15-dose regimen of amoxicillin (500 mg three times daily for 5 days) were compared in a double-blind manner in patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. A total of 92% of patients suffered a type 1 exacerbation. Treatment success, defined

27. Comparison of short courses of oral prednisolone and fluticasone propionate in the treatment of adults with acute exacerbations of asthma in primary care.
BACKGROUND: Oral corticosteroids used in short courses for acute asthma are regarded as safe, although the frequent use of these drugs may result in patients suffering from systemic side effects. It has become common practice for patients to increase their own inhaled corticosteroid intake when their asthma goes out of control, but it has never been establis

28. Effects of high dose inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate, 750 micrograms and 1500 micrograms twice daily, and 40 mg per day oral prednisolone on lung function, symptoms, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in patients with non-asthmatic chronic airflow obstruction.
BACKGROUND--The effect of treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in patients with non-asthmatic chronic airflow obstruction is still disputed. Whether any physiological improvements seen are accompanied by changes in bronchial responsiveness and symptoms and quality of life is also still unclear. METHODS--A sequential placebo controlled, blinded parallel gro

29. Serum and Urinary Concentrations of Cyclacillin in Humans
Cyclacillin is a semisynthetic penicillin produced from the penicillin nucleus (6-aminopenicillanic acid) by acylation with 1-aminohexanecarboxylic acid. The absorption and excretion characteristics of cyclacillin were defined in one completely randomized and three three-way crossover experiments. Mean peak serum cyclacillin levels appeared earlier and were

30. Pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone in patients with typhoid fever.
Ceftriaxone in short courses has emerged as an effective alternative to chloramphenicol for the treatment of typhoid fever. To study the pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone in acute typhoid fever, 10 febrile Nepalese adolescents and young adults with blood culture-positive illness were treated with 3 g of ceftriaxone (intravenous infusion for 30 min) daily for 3

31. Effects of exogenous progesterone following ovariectomy on the metrial glands of pregnant mice.
The numbers of granulated metrial gland cells, the percentage of them incorporating tritiated thymidine and the numbers of granulated metrial gland cell precursors in a defined area of the metrial gland, and the cross sectional area of the metrial gland, have been determined in mice ovariectomised on Day 8 of pregnancy. The effects, on these parameters and o

32. Comparative Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Cefotaxime, Moxalactam, and Ceftazidime
The pharmacokinetics of cefotaxime, moxalactam, and ceftazidime were investigated in six human volunteers who received in a crossover fashion doses of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g of each drug by a 5-min infusion. Doses of 1.0 g were repeated after the administration of probenecid. Serum and urine concentrations were assayed with an agar diffusion method. Serum conce

33. Methodologic aspects of a population pharmacodynamic model for cognitive effects in Alzheimer patients treated with tacrine.
Tacrine is a cholinesterase inhibitor with activity in the central nervous system originally marketed for the reversal of competitive neuromuscular blockade. Because a marked reduction in cholinergic neurons is a hallmark of brain changes in Alzheimer disease, tacrine has been studied in two placebo-controlled clinical trials of patients with probable Alzhei

34. A general practice based survey of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and its relation to symptoms, sex, age, atopy, and smoking.
The prevalence and associations of bronchial hyperresponsiveness were investigated in a general practice population. The sample was obtained by using every 12th patient on the practice age-sex register, replacing non-responders with corresponding age and sex matched individuals from up to two further 1 in 12 samples. The response rate was 43%; 366 patients w

35. Effects of Amoxicillin Subinhibitory Concentrations on the Cross-Protection Developed by Pneumococcal Antibodies in Mouse Sepsis Caused by an Amoxicillin-Resistant Serotype 6B Streptococcus pneumoniae Strain
A model of mouse sepsis caused by a serotype 6B Streptococcus pneumoniae strain (amoxicillin MIC of 8 μg/ml) was developed to investigate the therapeutic effect of an amoxicillin dose (3.12 mg/kg of body weight three times daily for 48 h) producing, over the whole treatment period, subinhibitory concentrations in serum (peak concentration [Cmax]: 6.1 μg/ml

36. Effects of AIDS and Gender on Steady-State Plasma and Intrapulmonary Ethambutol Concentrations
Our objective was to study the steady-state plasma and intrapulmonary orally administered ethambutol concentrations in healthy volunteers and subjects with AIDS. Ethambutol (15 mg/kg of body weight) was administered orally once daily to 10 men with AIDS, 10 healthy men, 10 women with AIDS, and 10 healthy women. The mean (±standard deviation [SD]) CD4 cell c
