Intestinal Permeation

1. The effect of diclofenac, piroxicam and (S+)-ibuprofen upon the rat intestine has been measured at constant drug plasma concentrations in the rat, using (51Cr)-EDTA intestinal permeation as a measure of damage. Initially disposition studies after sc administration of the three NSAIDs were carried out. From these studies it was found that constant-rate iv infusions were necessary to maintain plasma concentrations of diclofenac and (S+)-ibuprofen. Administration of piroxicam by sc bolus gave relatively constant plasma concentrations, thus iv infusions were not necessary to obtain concentration-response data for this drug. Relative potency was found by comparing the con centration-response profiles of the three NSAIDs and the rank order of potency obtained was: diclofenac > piroxi cam > (S+)-ibuprofen. 2. The effect of mode of administration upon intestinal damage was also investigated using diclofenac. Intestinal permeability was measured in rats given diclofenac either by sc bolus or iv infusion and dose-response data com pared. It was found that for the same dose, administration by sc bolus gave a higher degree of damage than by iv infusion.

AbstractStudying transitions in and out of the altered state of consciousness caused by intravenous (IV) N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT - a fast-acting tryptamine psychedelic) offers a safe and powerful means of advancing knowledge on the neurobiology of conscious states. Here we sought to investigate the effects of IV DMT on the power spectrum and signal diversity of human brain activity (6 female, 7 male) recorded via multivariate EEG, and plot relationships between subjective experience, brain activity and drug plasma concentrations across time. Compared with placebo, DMT markedly reduced oscillatory power in the alpha and beta bands and robustly increased spontaneous signal diversity. Time-referenced and neurophenomenological analyses revealed close relationships between changes in various aspects of subjective experience and changes in brain activity. Importantly, the emergence of oscillatory activity within the delta and theta frequency bands was found to correlate with the peak of the experience - particularly its eyes-closed visual component. These findings highlight marked changes in oscillatory activity and signal diversity with DMT that parallel broad and specific components of the subjective experience, thus advancing our understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of immersive states of consciousness.

1. Central and regional haemodynamics and leg metabolism at rest, during and after a prolonged exercise were studied in seven untreated hypertensive males before and after a long-term treatment (6 weeks) with an unselective β-receptor-blocking drug (alprenolol). 2. Alprenolol treatment (200–400 mg, twice daily) decreased arterial blood pressure at rest and during exercise; it reduced heart rate in relation to drug plasma concentrations during and after exercise; it left cardiac output unchanged; it reduced leg blood flow at rest, but had no effect on leg blood flow during exercise. 3. Alprenolol treatment also decreased lipolysis and lactate release in relation to drug plasma concentrations during exercise.

AbstractDirect oral anticoagulants (DOACs) exert similar anticoagulant effects to vitamin K antagonists and are increasingly used worldwide. Nevertheless, an evidence-based approach to patients receiving DOACs when any unplanned urgent surgery or bleeding (either spontaneous or traumatic) occurs is still missing. In this review, we investigate the role of point-of-care coagulation tests when other, more specific tests are not available. Indeed, thromboelastography and activated clotting time can detect dabigatran-induced coagulopathy, while their accuracy is limited for apixaban and rivaroxaban, mostly in cases of low drug plasma concentrations. These tests can also be used to guide the reversal of DOAC-induced coagulopathy providing a quick, before-and-after picture in case of therapeutic use of hemostatic compounds.

Clinical features and drug plasma concentrations were studied in 13 children admitted to hospital with tricyclic antidepressant poisoning. Patients with plasma concentrations below 500 microgram/l had anticholinergic signs and increased reflexes but did not have convulsions or cardiac arrhythmias. Four patients with plasma concentrations above 1000 microgram/l suffered convulsions, cardiac arrhythmias, or prolonged coma. The diagnosis of poisoning in 2 of these cases was made only by toxicological analysis. Quantitative estimation of tricyclic antidepressants is useful in atypical or severe poisoning both to reach the diagnosis and to give an idea of the likely duration of symptoms.
