    Abstract : Malaria is one of the most abundant parasitic diseases in the world affecting many of the poorest economies. The estimated prevalence is 300 to 700 million clinical episodes each year with up to 3 million deaths. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanistic Based Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamics models for Drug Interactions and Disease Population Predictions

    Author : Luna Prieto Garcia; Erik Sjögren; Aleksandra Galetin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetics; Pharmacokinetics; Pharmacodynamics; Disease Modelling; Drug Interactions; Statins; Mechanistic Modelling; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy;

    Abstract : Therapeutic dose of a medication refers to the quantity of a drug required to produce a pharmacological effect without causing unacceptable adverse events. Dose selection in the clinical setting is not straight forward due to various factors, including specific patient factors such as age, sex, weight, genetic variants and renal/hepatic function, as well as external factors such as food and co-medication, all of which can influence the efficacy and safety of a drug.

  5. 3. Clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antimalarial combination therapy

    Author : Sofia Friberg Hietala; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; antimalarials; artemisinins;

    Abstract : In the face of growing drug resistance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued recommendations strongly encouraging the use of combination therapies to combat uncomplicated malaria. Amongst the most effective treatments are those combining an artemisinin derivative with a longer acting component such as amodiaquine, lumefantrine or piperaquine. READ MORE

  6. 4. New Approaches for Levodopa Treatment in Parkinson’s Disease

    Author : Marina Senek; Dag Nyholm; Elisabet I Nielsen; Maral Mouradian; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; Pharmacokinetics; Pharmacodynamics; Population modeling; Levodopa; Carbidopa; Entacapone; Microtablets; Intestinal infusion;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic cells, which results in dopamine depletion. Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic treatment, however, disease progression along with the unfavorable pharmacokinetics of levodopa makes the disease increasingly difficult to treat with time.

  7. 5. Pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions in the management of malaria, HIV and tuberculosis

    Author : Doaa Elsherbiny; Ulrika Simonsson; Mats Karlsson; Lars Ståhle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmacokinetics Pharmacotherapy; Pharmacokinetics; Drug-drug interactions; Cytochrome P-450; Artemisinin antimalarials; Nevirapine; Lopinavir; Rifampicin; NONMEM; Farmakokinetik Farmakoterapi;

    Abstract : Malaria, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) are global health problems having their worst situation in sub-Saharan Africa. Consequently, concomitant use of antimalarial, antiretroviral and antitubercular drugs may be needed, resulting in a potential risk of drug-drug interactions. READ MORE
