Galactogogues are substances used to induce, maintain, and increase milk production, both in human clinical conditions (like noninfectious agalactias and hypogalactias) and in massification of production in the animal dairy industry. This paper aims to report the state of the art on the possible mechanisms of action, effectiveness, and side effects of galactogogues, including potential uses in ...

Rapid methods and automation for the detection and characterisation of chemical and veterinary drug residues in foods of animal origin constitutes a dynamic area in food processing and is experiencing important developments mainly from the standpoint of food safety. Residues from these substances may be present in edible tissues, milk and eggs for human consumption and may exert different level...

The presence of veterinary drugs (VDs) in meat may pose a health risk to humans during consumption; therefore, monitoring of VD residues for regulatory enforcement and risk assessment is commonly conducted. Several hundred VDs are available spanning a number of classes with very different chemical characteristics. This typically requires sophisticated analytical methods and instruments, general...

There is a growing need to find the most appropriate and effective treatment options for a variety of painful syndromes, including conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, for treating both veterinary and human patients. The most successful regimen may come through integrated therapies including combining current and novel western drugs with acupuncture and botanical therapies or their ...

BACKGROUND The bile salt export pump (BSEP/ABCB11) is the primary transporter for the excretion of bile acids from hepatocytes into bile. In human, inhibition of BSEP by drugs has been related to drug-induced cholestasis and subsequent cytotoxic effects. The role of BSEP in canine and feline liver diseases has not been studied in detail, but the same mechanism of inhibition by drugs as in human...

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is defined as a technique of general anaesthesia using a combination of agents given solely by the intravenous route and in the absence of inhalational agents. The intravenous route has long and efficiently been used to administer anesthetics drugs, but inhalational anesthesia with modern drugs and machines had revolutionized human anesthesia from the 1960s....

The use of pesticides and veterinary drugs results in the appearance of residues of xenobiotics in foods. Thus, several methods have been developed for monitoring them; however, most are tedious and expensive. By contrast, the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) methodology involves a microextraction that yields small samples and has been applied for the analysis of vario...

Title Process analytical technology (PAT) needs and applications in the bioprocess industry Review Abstract Process analytical technologies have been applied to manufacturing processes (pulp and paper, chemical and petroleum) for decades. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has, however, redefined the phrase and implemented it into an initiative focusing on improving several asp...

Introduction A drug interaction occurs when one drug alters the pharmacological effect (enhanced or decreased) of another drug. In human medicine there are several resources available to screen for drug interactions, and there are specific guidelines and agencies to report suspected drug interactions to. In veterinary medicine screening, monitoring, and reporting of drug interactions are rarely...

Tetracyclines are known antimicrobial compounds that present low cost and constitute one of the most widely used antibiotic groups, not only in human medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases but also in the stockbreeding sector as preventive and curative drugs or as an additive in animal feed 1 . The quality control of veterinary pharmaceuticals commercially available is an issue of re...
