Long-term intravenous infusion of antiarrhythmic drugs using a totally implanted drug delivery system.
In vitro and in vivo testing was performed to establish the feasibility of a totally implantable pump system to deliver antiarrhythmic agents. In vitro flow characteristics suggested predictable day to day delivery with acceptably small variations in flow with changes in reservoir volume or temperature. During 3 months of in vitro testing, procainamide and bretylium were found suitable for long...
متن کاملComputer control of drug delivery by continuous intravenous infusion: bridging the gap between intended and actual drug delivery.
BACKGROUND Intravenous drug infusion driven by syringe pumps may lead to substantial temporal lags in achieving steady-state delivery at target levels when using very low flow rates ("microinfusion"). This study evaluated computer algorithms for reducing temporal lags via coordinated control of drug and carrier flows. METHODS Novel computer control algorithms were developed based on mathemati...
متن کاملPolymeric Drugs: A Novel Approach to Drug Delivery System
This review article describes the current status and recent advances of polymeric drugs with regard to their application in drug delivery system. Essentially polymer-drug conjugation aims to achieve improved drug targeting, decrease drug toxicity and overcome mechanisms of drug resistance. First generation conjugates used linear monomethoxy PEGs and other linear polymers. Modern polymeric chemi...
متن کاملIntravenous infusion tests have limited utility for selecting long-term drug therapy in patients with chronic pain: a systematic review.
Since the first description in the early 1990s, the scope of intravenous infusions tests has expanded to encompass multiple drug classes and indications. Purported advantages of these tests include elucidating mechanisms of pain, providing temporary relief of symptoms, and usefulness as prognostic tools in guiding drug therapy. In an attempt to discern the value of these tests, the authors cond...
متن کاملSevere Osteomalacia Related to Long-Term Intravenous Drug Abuse
Objective. We present the clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings of a woman with vitamin D deficiency and severe osteomalacia related to intravenous heroin addiction. Results. A 54-year-old woman with a medical history significant for long-standing heroin abuse presented with complaints of bone pain, muscle cramping, and a left hip ulcer. She had been bed bound for approximately 1 year sec...
