From a total of 1288 digoxin plasma levels for adult in- and outpatients determined during one year January to December 2000 ; , 942 73.1% ; were ordered for inpatients. Of these, 210 22.3% ; digoxin level determinations were randomly selected for further analysis. Charts of those patients for which a digoxin level determination was ordered and that was included in the analysis were reviewed to obtain the following information: age, sex, weight, patient status, digoxin dose and dosing interval, indication for digoxin level determination, previous digoxin level measurement during the same hospitalisation, use of concomitant drugs potentially interacting with digoxin i.e. amiodarone, quinidine, propafenone, verapamil ; , and serum creatinine concentration. To estimate the creatinine clearance as a marker for renal function we used the equation by Dettli [26]: 150 age ; body weight [kg] 0.9 [women] or 1.1 [men] serum creatinine [mmol L] ; . These data were used to categorise digoxin level monitoring as "appropriate" or "inappropriate" according to the criteria defined above. Statistical analysis Data are presented as median with the corresponding range. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals 95% CI ; were calculated for point estimates.
This chapter describes taste disorders anatomically starting from the periphery to its central connections. In olfactory and hearing disorder there is a conductive component, but this is not so with taste unless one considers saliva to be the conducting medium. Inevitably there is overlap with some conditions affecting taste both centrally and peripherally. Other causes will be described, including iatrogenic disease and trauma. Pure loss of taste is quite uncommon and apart from the lower referral rate for this condition the presence of three major afferent routes for taste from the periphery provides a back-up system in case of a single nerve failure. Even in lesions of the chorda tympani taste is sometimes preserved, possibly! The purpose of this study was to develop a selective binding assay for 5-containing GABAA receptors. A high percentage of GABAA receptors in the hippocampus contain the 5 subunit, and this correlates with the pharmacological effects seen with 5 selective benzodiazepines BDZs ; . BDZs that interact with the 5 subtype appear to be involved in bdz tolerance, certain types of epilepsy, and bipolar affective disorder. The 5 subtype may also play a role in ethanol response. Drugs that are selective for the 5 subtype may be useful in treating these and other conditions. The use of the 5 selective radioligand, [3H]-RY80, and hippocampal membranes created a highly selective ligand binding assay that is exceptionally clean and is useful for identifying 5 reactive compounds, for instance, medicine verapamil. 5.

Abstract In many cases there is a clear established link between drug block of the hERG channel, QT prolongation and Torsade de Pointes TdP ; see review of Fermini, B. and Fossa, A. 2003 ; but there is also evidence that block potentiation of other cardiac ion channels can either lead to an increased or decreased proarrhythmic risk Antzelevitch, C. 2005 ; . For example quinidine produces TdP at low therapeutic drug concentrations, where it principally blocks hERG, but never induces TdP at higher drug concentrations where it also blocks Nav1.5 and KCNQ1 minK Antzelevitch, C. et al 1999 ; . Amiodarone also has an extremely low incidence of TdP in humans even though it blocks hERG and prolongs QTc. Again this is thought to be due to a mixed blocking action since it not only blocks the KCNQ1 minK and Nav1.5 channels but also the L-type calcium channel thereby preventing calcium-dependent early after-depolarizations and triggered activity that can lead to TdP Camm et al 2004 ; . It appears that this mixed blocking activity involving hERG and the cardiac L-type calcium channel is the reason why verapamil does not cause TdP even though it is a potent hERG channel blocker and why selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors such as citalopram have low fatal toxicity index scores Witchel, H. J. et al 2002 ; . Due to the increasing awareness of the interaction of other ion channel types with drugs either leading to increased or decreased cardiac risk, there has become a need to test compounds across a range of cardiac ion channels early in the drug discovery process. This is now technically feasible due to the increasing availability of human cardiac ion channel cell lines Cytomyx ; and the advent of high throughput planar patch systems such as IonWorks HTTM and IonWorks QuattroTM Molecular Devices Corporation ; . Data presented here shows how Cytomyx have developed screening assays using a range of human cardiac ion channel types expressed in mammalian cell lines. Background Prolongation of the QT interval and block of hERG does not necessarily lead to TdP if compounds block multiple ion channels. Figure 1 shows the relationship between drug concentration and the increase in the QT interval and transmural dispersion of repolarization TDR, from Antzelevitch 2005 ; . For pure hERG channel blockers such as sotalol, dofetilide and erythromycin QT prolongation and TDR are closely correlated. However, more complex drugs with multiple blocking actions, such as cisapride and quinidine, show a greater propensity to cause TdP at lower drug concentrations than at higher concentrations. Other drugs rarely or never cause TdP e.g. amiodarone, ranolazine etc ; can still markedly prolong the QT interval. The reported reason for this is that even though these drugs can prolong the QT interval they minimize TDR through mixed ion channel block. Hence, a critical increase in TDR is the stimulus for TdP and not QT interval per se. Clearly knowledge of the mixed cardiac ion channel blocking actions of a given drug is useful to obtain a first approximation of cardiac risk long before it enters the clinic. Cytomyx' Cardiac Panel Cytomyx has created a portfolio of recombinant cell lines expressing cardiac ion channels for which screening assays have been developed on IonWork HT. Figure 2 shows Cytomyx' cardiac cell lines available for testing on IonWorks which represent the major ionic conductance's involved in the cardiac action potential. IonWorksTM HT and vicoprofen.

Also, a beta-blocker would be a good choice for most high blood pressure patients with a history of heart attack, because there are also trials showing a reduction in the risk of death when a beta-blocker is used. The Harvard researchers examined the prescribing practices of physicians for older high blood pressure patients enrolled in the New Jersey Medicaid program from January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1995. This involved 23, 748 new users of a high blood pressure drug.

Twice in the last few months, a public talk of Donald Rumsfeld has been interrupted by people in the audience calling him a war criminal and accusing him of lying to get the United States into war. This happened in a meeting room at the very respectable National Press Club in Washington and again at a forum at the equally respectable Southern Center for International Policy in Atlanta. In Chile, last November, as former dictator Augusto Pinochet moved closer to being tried for the deaths of thousands, he declared to a judge: "I lament those losses and suffer for them. God does things, and he will forgive me if I committed some excesses, which I don't believe I did."[4] Dubya couldn't have said it better. Let's hope that one day we can compel him to stand before a judge, but not one appointed by him. ly built up Europe economically, including our wartime enemies, and allowed them to compete with us." Even those today who are very cynical about US foreign policy, who are quick to question the White House's motives in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, have no problem in swallowing this picture of an altruistic America of the period of 1948-1952. After World War II, the United States, triumphant abroad and undamaged at home, saw a door wide open for world supremacy. Only the thing called "communism" stood in the way, politically, militarily, and ideologically. The entire US foreign policy establishment was mobilized to confront this "enemy", and the Marshall Plan was an integral part of this campaign. How could it be otherwise? Anticommunism had been the principal pillar of US foreign policy from the Russian Revolution up to World War II, pausing for the war until the closing months of the Pacific campaign, when Washington put challenging communism ahead of fighting the Japanese. This return to anti-communism included the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan as a warning to the Soviets.[5] After the war, anti-communism continued as the leitmotif of foreign policy as naturally as if World War II and the alliance with the Soviet Union had not happened.

Direct relationship between the calcium channel blocking activity of these compounds and their ability to reverse drug resistance, but a correlation between the presence of a cationic nitrogen atom in the molecules and MDR reversing activity seems to be important. 7 Some dihydropyridine derivatives are more effective than verapamil in enhancing the antitumoral activities of anthracyclines and Vinca alkaloids in vitro. Also, in terms of possible side effects in vivo, some specific molecular types of dihydropyridine derivatives with low calcium channel blocker activity could have less toxic effects than verapamil at plasmatic concentrations able to reverse MDR.8 In this paper we report data on the MDR reversing activity of the R-enantiomer GR66234A ; and the L-enantiomer GR66235A ; of a dihydropyridine derivative called telupidine. Teludipine is less cardiotoxic than verapamil and contains a butyl group in the aromatic ring that makes the molecule more lipophilic than other dihydropyridine derivatives Figure 1 ; .
