Calcium chloride in neonatal parenteral nutrition: compatibility studies using laser methodology.

Introduction: We have previously reported results of precipitation studies for neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions containing calcium chloride and sodium phosphate using visual methods to determine compatibility. The purpose of this study was to do further testing of compatibility for solutions containing calcium chloride using more sensitive methods.

Methods: Solutions of Trophamine (Braun Medical Inc, Irvine, CA) and Premasol (Baxter Pharmaceuticals, Deerfield, IL) were compounded with calcium chloride and potassium phosphate.

Human pharmacokinetics of xanthohumol, an antihyperglycemic flavonoid from hops.

Scope: Xanthohumol (XN) is a bioactive prenylflavonoid from hops. A single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study was conducted in men (n = 24) and women (n = 24) to determine dose-concentration relationships.

Methods And Results: Subjects received a single oral dose of 20, 60, or 180 mg XN.
