Population pharmacokinetics I: background, concepts, and models.

Published: October 2004

Objective: To present and emphasize the background, foundations, utility, and conceptual underlying theory of the population pharmacokinetic (PPK) approach with an examination of the advantages when compared with other approaches of pharmacokinetic modeling.

Data Sources: Information on PPK was retrieved from a MEDLINE search (1979-June 2002) of literature and a bibliographic review of review articles and books.

Study Selection And Data Extraction: All articles identified from data sources were evaluated and relevant information was included in this review.

Data Synthesis: PPK plays a pivotal role in developing dosing strategies for direct patient care and in drug development. PPK is valuable because it targets the patient group that will eventually receive the drug of interest, quantitates pharmacokinetic variability at several levels, and seeks to explain those sources of variability.

Conclusions: PPK models have great utility and the applications are many. They are very different from single-subject pharmacokinetic models and therefore require different approaches to model development.

Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells store inorganic phosphate in the form of polymers called polyphosphate (polyP). There has been an explosion of interest in polyP over the past decade, in part due to newly suggested roles related to diverse aspects of human health. The physical interaction of polyP chains with specific proteins has been proposed to regulate cellular homeostasis and modulate signaling pathways in response to environmental changes.

Objective: To determine if higher serum exposure during subcutaneous (SC) abatacept treatment was associated with an increased infection risk in adult patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: Data from AVERT-2 (Assessing Very Early Rheumatoid arthritis Treatment-2, NCT02504268), a randomized, placebo-controlled study in anticitrullinated protein antibody- positive patients with early RA, were analyzed. A post hoc population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analysis was performed.

The objective of this study was to implement population pharmacokinetic (PPK) of enrofloxacin (EF) in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) after a single oral administration and a single intravenous administration based on a nonlinear mixed effect model. The plasma samples collected by the sparse sampling method were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescent detector. The initial pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were evaluated by reference search and the calculation of a naïve pooled method.

Hydroxylamine (HA) dosing is an effective strategy for promoting partial nitrification (PN); however, its impact on endogenous denitrification remains underexplored. In this study, long-term continuous HA dosing (1.4 mg/L) was introduced for over 110 days in a pilot-scale anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic (AOA) system treating municipal wastewater (66.

Summary: Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), characterised by excessive epidermal thickening of the skin on the palms and/or plantar surfaces of the feet, can be hereditary or acquired. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of sub-optimally controlled diabetes mellitus presenting with fevers and decreased Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to a tertiary hospital. She was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), with blood glucose at 40 mmol/L and ketones at 7 mmol/L, in the setting of a methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus necrotising soft tissue back infection.
