A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) approach was used to determine a dosage regimen of cephalothin (CET) after intramuscular (IM) administration in horses. CET plasma concentrations were measured in eight horses after a single IM administration of 11 mg/kg bwt of CET. The data were modeled using a nonlinear mixed-effect model, and the probability of target attainment (PTA) of the PK/PD target was calculated for 5,000 horses generated by Monte Carlo simulations. IM administrations of CET at 11 mg/kg bwt q 8 hr and q 6 hr achieved a PTA of 90% against the MIC of S. zooepidemicus and S. aureus, respectively, and were considered to be effective dosage regimens. The total dose for the IM administration recommended in this study was lower than that for intravenous (IV) administration in previous studies.

Myofascial pain is one of the common symptoms in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Occlusal splint (OS) and masticatory muscle trigger point (TP) local injections are primary treatment options. We aimed to investigate the effects of these treatments using clinical and elastography measures.

This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of difloxacin in pigeons following oral (PO), intramuscular (IM), and intravenous (IV) administration. Thirty pigeons were randomly divided into three groups (IM, IV, and PO; n = 10 per group). Difloxacin was administered at 10 mg/kg body weight (BW) via each route.

Objective: To determine the incidence and describe the presentation and management of unexpected symptomatic glucocorticoid-induced adrenal suppression (AS) in children and young people aged 0-15 years.
Setting And Design: Surveillance study of symptomatic glucocorticoid (GC)-induced AS with supportive biochemical evidence or presenting as an adrenal crisis, reported via the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU) from September 2020 to September 2022.
Results: Over a 25-month period, 190 reports of symptomatic GC-induced AS/adrenal crisis were made, of which 22 were confirmed cases: 18 AS and 4 adrenal crises.

Context: Guidelines for use of injectable estradiol esters (valerate [EV] and cypionate [EC]) among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals designated male at birth vary considerably, with many providers noting supraphysiologic serum estradiol concentrations based on current dosing recommendations.
Objectives: 1. Determine dose of injectable estradiol (subcutaneous [SC] and intramuscular [IM]) needed to reach guideline-recommended estradiol concentrations for TGD adults using EC/EV.

Creatine monohydrate supplementation is widely used by athletes in high-intensity, power-based sports due to its ability to enhance short-term performance by increasing intramuscular phosphocreatine (PCr) stores, which aid in ATP resynthesis during intense muscle contractions. However, emerging evidence suggests that creatine monohydrate offers benefits beyond athletic performance. This narrative review explores the literature supporting the advantages of creatine supplementation in women, vegans, and clinical populations.
