Susceptibility of Mycobacterium malmoense to antibacterial drugs and drug combinations.
Mycobacterium malmoense is an opportunistic pathogen with increasingly recognized clinical importance. It is mainly isolated in northern Europe and Great Britain, most often from patients with pulmonary infections. Conventional therapy of M. malmoense infections with antituberculosis drugs is often of limited value, and there is thus a need for improved drug regimens. The potential efficacies o...
متن کاملQuantifying the effects of antiangiogenic and chemotherapy drug combinations on drug delivery and treatment efficacy
Tumor-induced angiogenesis leads to the development of leaky tumor vessels devoid of structural and morphological integrity. Due to angiogenesis, elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and low blood perfusion emerge as common properties of the tumor microenvironment that act as barriers for drug delivery. In order to overcome these barriers, normalization of vasculature is considered to be ...
متن کاملIn vitro procoagulant activity induced in endothelial cells by chemotherapy and antiangiogenic drug combinations: modulation by lower-dose chemotherapy.
One of the emerging problems concerning the use of antiangiogenic drugs, when used in combination with certain chemotherapy regimens, is enhanced rates and severity of adverse clotting events. For as yet unknown reasons, certain drugs and particular combinations can induce an elevated incidence of thromboembolic events in treated cancer patients [e.g., SU5416, a vascular endothelial cell growth...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling and Lyapunov-Based Drug Administration in Cancer Chemotherapy
In this paper a new mathematical model is developed for the dynamics between tumor cells, normal cells, immune cells, chemotherapy drug concentration and drug toxicity. Then, the theorem of Lyapunov stability is applied to design treatment strategies for drug protocols that ensure a desired rate of tumor cell kill and push the system to the area with smaller tumor cells. Using of this theorem a...
متن کاملPolypharmacy versus Drug Combinations
Drug combinations have been known to be used either for increasing effcctivity or for decreasing side-efFects. It is only when multiple drugs are prescribed without adequate scientific evidence in their favour then such practices need careful scrutiny. Multiple drug use in psychiatry has recently gained currency and so require thoughtful consideration. The term polypharmacy is generally used to...
