Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi (resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and cotrimoxazole), was significantly reduced with the increased usage of fluoroquinolones and azithromycin. This has led to declining multidrug resistance rates in Indiawith increasing ciprofloxacin nonsusceptibility rates and clinical failures due to azithromycin. However, for the …
The pharmacokinetics of once-daily oral levofloxacin (study A) or intravenous levofloxacin (study B) in 40 healthy male volunteers were investigated in two separate randomized, double-blind, parallel-design, placebocontrolled studies. Levofloxacin at 500 mg or placebo was administered orally or intravenously as a single dose on day 1; daily oral or intravenous dosing resumed on days 4 to 10. I…
Five hundred ninety patients were enrolled in a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial comparing the efficacy and safety of 7 to 14 days of levofloxacin treatment with that of ceftriaxone and/or cefuroxime axetil in the management of community-acquired pneumonia in adults. Patients received either intravenous and/or oral levofloxacin (500 mg once daily) or the comparative agents, parentera…
In an open, randomized, six-period crossover study, the pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin, grepafloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and trovafloxacin were compared after a single oral dose in 12 healthy volunteers (6 men and 6 women). The volunteers received 250 mg of ciprofloxacin, 400 mg of gatifloxacin, 600 mg of grepafloxacin, 500 mg of levofloxacin, 400 mg of moxifloxacin,…

Parameter farmakokinetik yang dinilai dalam studi ini ialah kadar puncak (Cmax), waktu untuk mencapai kadar puncak (tmax), waktu paruh eliminasi (t1/2), luas daerah di bawah kur…
This document is about the development of clinical nutrition guidelines and the importance of summaries of these for patients as well as the need for patient involvement in the development processes, the importance of health literacy and informed decision-making concerning food and nutrition
A systematic literature search was conducted on 27/Dec/2014 including papers published between 2004 and 2014. In total, 150 abstracts were reviewed and an additional individual search was performed by the authors for each vitamin chapter, including searching the reference lists of selected papers. Some references from the previously published guidelines were preserved, where appropriate.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that can protect the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the membrane from oxidation, regulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and modulate signal transduction. Immunomodulatory effects of vitamin E have been observed in animal and human models under normal and disease conditions. With advances in und…
The B-vitamins comprise a group of eight water soluble vitamins that perform essential, closely inter-related roles in cellular functioning, acting as co-enzymes in a vast array of catabolic and anabolic enzymatic reactions. Their collective effects are particularly prevalent to numerous aspects of brain function, including energy production, DNA/RNA synthesis/repair, genomic and non-genomic me…
