Titration to a Therapeutic Dose May Lead to Greater Adherence
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) including LYRICA increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking AEDs for any indication. Monitor patients treated with any AED for any indication for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Pooled analysis showed clinical trial patients taking an AED had approximate...
متن کاملNew Confidence: Optimizing Benchmark Dose Modeling to Improve Risk Assessment
Benchmark dose (BMD) modeling has been touted as a more accu rate method for conducting chemical risk assessments. In this issue of EHP, a team of researchers applied BMD modeling to hundreds of chemicals whose health effects are already known in an effort to optimize the approach. To calculate the highest safe oral dose of a noncarcinogenic chem ical, regulators must first estimate the point...
متن کاملBenchmark dose of lead inducing anemia at the workplace.
To estimate the critical dose of lead inducing anemia in humans, the effects of lead on hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) levels and red blood cell (RBC) count were examined in 388 male lead-exposed workers with blood lead (BPb) levels of 0.05-5.5 (mean 1.3) micromol/L by using the benchmark dose (BMD) approach. The BPb level was significantly related to Hb (regression coefficient beta=-0.27...
متن کاملMethodological issues in current practice may lead to bias in the development of biomarker combinations for predicting acute kidney injury
Individual biomarkers of renal injury are only modestly predictive of acute kidney injury (AKI). Using multiple biomarkers has the potential to improve predictive capacity. In this systematic review, statistical methods of articles developing biomarker combinations to predict AKI were assessed. We identified and described three potential sources of bias (resubstitution bias, model selection bia...
متن کاملModeling and Control of High-Voltage Direct-Current Transmission Systems: From Theory to Practice and Back
The problem of modeling and control of multi–terminal high–voltage direct–current transmission systems is addressed in this paper, which contains five main contributions. First, to propose a unified, physically motivated, modeling framework—based on port–Hamiltonian representations—of the various network topologies used in this application. Second, to prove that the system can be globally asymp...
