Protein binding: do we ever learn?
Although the influence of protein binding (PB) on antibacterial activity has been reported for many antibiotics and over many years, there is currently no standardization for pharmacodynamic models that account for the impact of protein binding of antimicrobial agents in vitro. This might explain the somewhat contradictory results obtained from different studies. Simple in vitro models which co...
متن کاملTissue concentrations: do we ever learn?
Over the last decades, numerous papers have appeared--and still are appearing--that describe concentrations in tissues in an effort to predict the efficacy of an antimicrobial agent based on these concentrations and MICs for microorganisms. A common method is to use measurements of concentrations in tissue homogenates, comparing these with values derived from the corresponding blood samples and...
متن کاملWhat do we learn from high-throughput protein interaction data?
The biological significance of protein interactions, their method of generation and reliability is briefly reviewed. Protein interaction networks adopt a scale-free topology that explains their error tolerance or vulnerability, depending on whether hubs or peripheral proteins are attacked. Networks also allow the prediction of protein function from their interaction partners and therefore, the ...
متن کاملStarch safety in resuscitation - when will we ever learn?
Recent trials have failed to demonstrate a survival benefit from the use of hydroxyethyl starches (HES) as a colloid in fluid resuscitation and have raised concerns of renal harm. In severe sepsis, there is a concerning signal of increased mortality. New high-quality systematic reviews consistently demonstrate a statistically non-significant relative risk of death of 1.08 - 1.10 and a significa...
متن کاملCumulative Cultural Evolution: Can We Ever Learn More?
This paper investigates the dynamics of cumulative cultural evolution in a simulation concerning the evolution of language. This simulation integrates the iterated learning model with the Talking Heads experiment in which a population of agents evolves a language to communicate geometrical coloured objects by playing guessing games and transmitting the language from one generation to the next. ...
