A nonlinear mixed effects modelling analysis of topiramate pharmacokinetics in patients with epilepsy

Topiramate pharmacokinetics is influenced by individual factors such as patient age, renal function and co-treatment. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of topiramate to assist dosage adjustments in individual patients. Steady-state topiramate plasma concentrations in patients with epilepsy were determined by HPLC using fluorescent labelling. Demographic, bioch

Topiramate is biochemically classified as a fructopyranose sulphamate. Discovered as early as 1979, during middle 1980's it was approved in many countries for the treatment of epilepsies and migraine prevention. More recently, in the experimental stage, possible new indications have been disclosed: treatment of obesity, bipolar disorder, also cessation of smoking, neuropathic pain, cerebral pseudo

BACKGROUND/AIM: High morbidity and mortality rates, chronic course of disease and numerous clinical complications, make diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 bear significant financial burden for healthcare system of Serbia. The aim of this study was to compare true disease-related expenses measured in the random sample of patients originating from the Central Serbia in 2007 and national estimate of total

Inverse correlation of valproic acid serum concentrations and quality of life in adolescents with epilepsy

BACKGROUND: Correlation between steady-state serum concentrations of antiepileptic drugs and both seizure control and adverse drug reactions frequency (two major determinants of quality of life in patients with epilepsy) is still matter of controversy.OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to investigate whether a correlation exists between steady-state serum concentration of valproic acid and qualit

Cost-effectiveness of ritodrine and fenoterol for treatment of preterm labor in a low-middle-income country : a case study

OBJECTIVES: In countries with high income, tocolytic therapy with beta-mimetic agents is a cost-effective strategy compared to placebo. In our study, the cost-effectiveness of two beta-mimetic agents, ritodrine and fenoterol, used in the management of preterm labor was compared in the setting of a low-middle-income transitional country, Serbia & Montenegro.METHODS: This case study was conducte

Effect of exogenous glutamate and N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid on spontaneous activity of isolated human ureter

OBJECTIVES: While the neurotransmitter role of glutamate in the gastrointestinal tract has been shown, its effects on smooth muscle of the human ureter have not previously been investigated. In our study we have investigated the effects of exogenous glutamate on the spontaneous activity of isolated human ureter, taken from 14 adult patients after nephrectomy.METHODS: The segment of ureter, excised

Inhibitory effects of selected antiepileptics on spontaneous motility of isolated human oviducts

OBJECTIVE: Spontaneous motility of the human oviduct is an important factor in the regulation of fertility that can be influenced by a variety of substances. In this study we examined the effects of several antiepileptic drugs on spontaneous contractions of isolated human oviducts.METHODS: The isolated ampullar and isthmic segments of Fallopian tubes, taken from 34 patients with extensive uterine
