A phase I trial of chlorozotocin was completed for the single dose every six week schedule. At 250 mg/m2 i.v. push, excessive thrombocytopenia, nausea, and anorexia occurred. Two cases of cholestatic jaundice were seen, and one patient had worsening of his diabetes mellitus after one course. Partial response or prolonged disease stabilization with increased survival was documented in four of seven patients with non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. A starting dose of 225 mg/m2 is recommended for good risk patients with little or no prior bone marrow toxicity from chemotherapy or irradiation. A dose of 200 mg/m2 is recommended for patients with limited previous treatment and good bone marrow reserve.

Rationale And Objectives: Pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an imaging method with proven utility for the exclusion of pulmonary embolism and avoids the need for ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast agents. High-relaxivity gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), such as gadopiclenol, can be used to reduce the required gadolinium dose for pulmonary MRA. The aim of this study was to compare the contrast enhancement performance of gadopiclenol with an established gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced pulmonary MRA protocol.

Background: Area-under-the-curve (AUC)-directed vancomycin therapy is recommended; however, AUC estimation in critically ill children is difficult owing to the need for multiple samples and lack of informative models.
Methods: The authors prospectively enrolled critically ill children receiving intravenous (IV) vancomycin for suspected infection and evaluated the accuracy of Bayesian estimation of AUC from a single, optimally timed sample. During the dosing interval, when clinical therapeutic drug monitoring was performed, an optimally timed sample was collected, which was determined for each subject using an established population pharmacokinetic model and the multiple model optimal function of Pmetrics, a nonparametric population pharmacokinetic modeling software.

Unlabelled: is one of the most virulent bacterial pathogens known and causes the disease tularemia, which can be fatal if untreated. This zoonotic and intracellular pathogen is exposed to diverse environmental and host stress factors that require an appropriate response to survive. However, the stress tolerance mechanisms used by to persist are not fully understood.

Aims: This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of a single subcutaneous (s.c.) glucagon dose versus the same total dose split into a dose before and after and placebo (PBO) in preventing exercise-induced hypoglycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
