Changes in Treatment of Very Elderly Patients Six Weeks after Discharge from Geriatrics Department
2020
We assessed the prescriptions of patients hospitalized in a geriatric unit and subsequently discharged. This prospective and observational study was conducted over a two-month period in the geriatrics department (acute and rehabilitation units) of a university hospital. Patients discharged from this department were included over a two-month period. Prescriptions were analyzed at admission and discharge from the geriatrics department (DGD), and six weeks after DGD. We included 209 patients, 63% female, aged 86.8 years. The mean number of medications prescribed was significantly higher at DGD than at admission (7.8 vs. 7.1, p = 0.003). During hospitalization, 1217 prescriptions were changed (…
GABAA agonist muscimol ameliorates learning/memory deficits in streptozocin-induced Alzheimer’s disease non-transgenic rat model
2015
Background: GABAergic inhibitory action regulates learning/memory processes and contributes to neurotransmission (Gong et al., 2009). Existing evidence suggests GABAergic system is involved in pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) via inhibitory interneuron deficits (Verret et al., 2012) and decrease in functional GABAA receptors (Limon et al., 2012). In vitro, GABA and muscimol (GABAA receptor agonist) blocked neuronal death induced by Aβ in rat hippocampal and cortical neurons (Paula-Lima et al., 2005). Our concept: low doses of muscimol may prevent learning/memory deficits in intracerebroventricular (icv) streptozocin (STZ)-induced AD non-transgenic rat model. Methods. Wistar male …
MASK 2017: ARIA digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care for rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity using real-world-evidence
2018
mHealth, such as apps running on consumer smart devices is becoming increasingly popular and has the potential to profoundly affect healthcare and health outcomes. However, it may be disruptive and results achieved are not always reaching the goals. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) has evolved from a guideline using the best evidence-based approach to care pathways suited to real-life using mobile technology in allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma multimorbidity. Patients largely use over-the-counter medications dispensed in pharmacies. Shared decision making centered around the patient and based on self-management should be the norm. Mobile Airways Sentinel networK (MASK), th…

Micellar liquid chromatography determination of rivaroxaban in plasma and urine. Validation and theoretical aspects.
2019
A Micellar Chromatographic method to determine rivaroxaban in plasma and urine has been developed. The samples were dissolved in the mobile phase (SDS 0.05 M – 1-propanol 12.5%, phosphate buffered at pH 7) and 20 μL directly injected, avoiding the extraction and purification steps. Using a C18 column and running under isocratic mode at 1 mL/min, analyte was eluted without interference from the matrix in <6.0 min. The detection absorbance wavelength was set to 250 nm. The procedure was validated by Food and Drug Administration guidelines in terms of: system suitability, calibration range (0.05–5 mg/L), linearity, sensitivity, robustness, carry-over effect, specificity, accuracy (−11.1 to 4.2…
Computer simulations for bioequivalence trials: Selection of analyte in BCS class II and IV drugs with first-pass metabolism, two metabolic pathways …
2018
A semi-physiological two compartment pharmacokinetic model with two active metabolites (primary (PM) and secondary metabolites (SM)) with saturable and non-saturable pre-systemic efflux transporter, intestinal and hepatic metabolism has been developed. The aim of this work is to explore in several scenarios which analyte (parent drug or any of the metabolites) is the most sensitive to changes in drug product performance (i.e. differences in in vivo dissolution) and to make recommendations based on the simulations outcome. A total of 128 scenarios (2 Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) drug types, 2 levels of KM Pgp, in 4 metabolic scenarios at 2 dose levels in 4 quality levels of t…
Relationship between particle size and dissolution rate of bulk powders and sieving characterized fractions of two qualities of orthoboric acid
1996
Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. ISI Document Delivery No.: VN279 Times Cited: 1 Cited Reference Count: 22 Tromelin, A Habillon, S Andres, C Pourcelot, Y Chaillot, B; International audience; We have carried out a study of the particle size distribution and aqueous dissolution rate of two commercially available qualities of orthoboric acid, labeled ''crystal'' (ABC) and ''powder'' (ABP). In a previous work, we have shown that the two commercial qualities of orthoboric acid chosen as model compound (''powder'' and ''crystal'') are related to the same crystal network in spite of their different names. However, these two qualities have very different size particle distributions, as previously determined b…
The Effect of Methanolic Leaf Extract of Boerhavia diffusa Linn. (Nictaginaceae) on the Activities of Antidiabetic, Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant…
2018
Diabetic therapeutic potentiality of methanol extract of stem leaves of Boerhavia diffusa was investigated following in-vivo study models in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat. Methanol extract of stem leaves of Boerhavia diffusa exerted the glucose lowering effect an increase in serum insulin level on 28st day of postadministration. In addition to a higher expression of insulin receptor A. The extract treatment or glibenclamide for 28 days significantly (p<0.05) reduced HbA1c. Boerhavia diffusa L. or glibenclamide for 28 days show no damaging effect on red blood count and hemoglobin when compared to the control group. Significant (p<0.05) increase in platelet count and white blood cell c…
Enhanced In Situ Availability of Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae Constituents Entrapped in Buccal Films for the Treatment of Oxidative Stress-Related Oral D…
2019
In recent years, the key role of oxidative stress in pathogenesis of oral diseases has been emphasized and the use of antioxidant agents has been encouraged. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a unicellular blue-green alga with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was the formulation and characterization of mucoadhesive thin layer films loaded with AFA, finalized to the treatment of oxidative stress (OS)-related oral diseases. First, to enhance the bioavailability of AFA constituents, the raw food grade material was appropriately treated by a high frequency homogenization able to disrupt cell walls. Thus, Eudragit®
L'ergot dépasse le seigle cet ancien compagnon de l'homme ressort les griffes
2010
National audience; L’ergot du seigle dû à Claviceps purpurea se fait remarquer en cultures de céréales en France depuis 2000, sporadiquement et avec une prévalence moindre qu’en Europe du Nord. Le facteur climatique (4 années favorables de 2000 à 2009 incluses) joue sur cette réémergence, mais aussi des évolutions de pratiques culturales : développement du nonlabour et présence accrue de graminées adventices sensibles dans les parcelles ou à proximité. Les connaissances sur la biologie de C. purpurea et les facteurs le favorisant sont rappelées. Le rôle des graminées adventices et prairiales est évoqué avec les sensibilités diverses des espèces, pouvant influencer le choix de celles à impla…
