Effective gentamicin dosing is crucial to the survival of neonates with suspected sepsis but requires a careful balance between attaining both effective peak and safe trough concentrations. We aimed to systematically compare existing gentamicin dosing guidelines for neonates in Australia to determine the extent to which they reach therapeutic targets. Simulations of a single gentamicin dose to a virtual representative neonatal population according to each Australian guideline were performed using population pharmacokinetic modelling.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of laminarin (LA) and ferulic acid (FA) on the gelatinization, rheological properties, freeze-thaw stability, and digestibility of cassava starch (CS). The results indicated that LA increased the peak viscosity, trough viscosity, final viscosity, storage modulus, and loss modulus of CS, while decreasing the breakdown viscosity. Conversely, FA exerted opposite effects.

Introduction: We assessed potential mechanisms behind the requirement for more frequent dupilumab dosing in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) compared with other approved indications.

Methods: Results for the phase 3 LIBERTY EoE TREET study coprimary endpoints (proportion of patients achieving a peak intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤6 eosinophils per high-power field and absolute change from baseline in Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire total score) were pooled in exposure-response analyses.

Results: A steep initial relationship then plateau was observed between higher dupilumab steady-state trough concentrations and decreased eosinophilic infiltration at week 24, whereas a graded exposure-response relationship was observed for symptomatic improvement at week 24.

Background: Night sweats are a condition in which an individual sweats excessively during sleep without awareness, and stops when they wake up. Prolonged episodes of night sweats might result in the depletion of trace elements and nutrients, affecting the growth and development of children.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between sweat nights and season.

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.
