Selecting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: pharmacologic and clinical considerations.
An increasing number of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are available to treat a variety of conditions. There exist little comparative data examining efficacy for all NSAIDs for a particular illness. The major factors governing selection of these agents relate to the patient's condition and the drug's characteristics. Once efficacy has been established, selection of an NSAID is th...
متن کاملComplex dynamics and stability of resistance to antimalarial drugs.
A succession of antimalarial drugs has been deployed to treat human falciparum malaria but each has, in turn, been nullified by the spread of drug resistance. The consensus view has always been that, once present, resistance will inevitably rapidly increase to 100%. However, recent field evidence has shown this is not inevitable, and that drug resistance may initially spread and then stabilize ...
متن کاملSuperinfection and the evolution of resistance to antimalarial drugs.
A major issue in the control of malaria is the evolution of drug resistance. Ecological theory has demonstrated that pathogen superinfection and the resulting within-host competition influences the evolution of specific traits. Individuals infected with Plasmodium falciparum are consistently infected by multiple parasites; however, while this probably alters the dynamics of resistance evolution...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to antimalarial drugs in Indonesia.
The extent of gene polymorphisms associated with resistance to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine was examined in field isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from Indonesia. Eight malaria-endemic areas, representing a broad region of the western and eastern Indonesian Archipelago were surveyed. Blood from 20-50 patients was collected at each site, DNA was isolated, and the sequences of four ...
متن کاملClinical and practical considerations in the pharmacologic management of narcolepsy.
Despite published treatment recommendations and the availability of approved and off-label pharmacologic therapies for narcolepsy, the clinical management of this incurable, chronic neurologic disorder remains challenging. While treatment is generally symptomatically driven, decisions regarding which drug(s) to use need to take into account a variety of factors that may affect adherence, effica...
