The influence of the size and turnover kinetics of the enterocyte-based lymph lipid precursor pool (LLPP) on intestinal lymphatic drug transport has been examined. Mesenteric lymph duct-cannulated rats were infused intraduodenally with low (2-5 mg/h) or high (20 mg/h) lipid-dose

Patients treated with sunitinib show substantial inter-patient variability in drug exposure (~30-40 %), which is largely unexplained. Since sunitinib is metabolized by cytochrome P450(CYP)3A4, variability in the activity of this enzyme may explain a considerable proportion of this inter-patient variability.

The chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, drug interactions, dosage, and cost and availability of midazolam hydrochloride are reviewed. The anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, muscle-relaxant, and amnesic properties of midazolam are similar to those of other injectable benzodiazepines. Midazolam

During functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), intraoperative bleeding can significantly compromise visualization of the surgical field. Clonidine constricts peripheral blood vessels and reduces systemic blood pressure, which in combination decrease nasal mucosa blood flow. This dual effect can potentially reduce
