Colitis Caused by Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Postgrad Med J: first published as 10.1136/pgmj.62.730.773 on 1 August 1986. Downloaded from Postgraduate Medical Journal (1986) 62, 773-776 Colitis caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs S. Ravi', A.C. Keat2 and E.C.B. Keat1 'Cuckfield Hospital, Cuckfield, West Sussex, and2Westminster Hospital, Horseferry Road, London SWIP2AP, UK. Summary: Four cases of acute proctocolitis associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy are presented. The drugs implicated were flufenamic acid, mefenamic acid, naproxen and ibuprofen. After resolution of symptoms and signs of proctocolitis three of the four patients were subsequently rechallenged with the implicated drug: in each there was a rapid relapse. Introduction Ulcerative colitis is a disease of unknown aetiology Case reports with characteristic clinical features and a protracted course.

Impact of CYP2C19 Genotype on Sertraline Exposure in 1200 Scandinavian Patients
www.nature.com/npp ARTICLE Impact of CYP2C19 genotype on sertraline exposure in 1200 Scandinavian patients Line S. Bråten 1,2, Tore Haslemo1,2, Marin M. Jukic3,4, Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg 3, Espen Molden1,5 and Marianne K. Kringen1,2 Sertraline is an (SSRI-)antidepressant metabolized by the polymorphic CYP2C19 enzyme. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of CYP2C19 genotype on the serum concentrations of sertraline in a large patient population. Second, the proportions of patients in the various CYP2C19 genotype-defined subgroups obtaining serum concentrations outside the therapeutic range of sertraline were assessed. A total of 2190 sertraline serum concentration measurements from 1202 patients were included retrospectively from the drug monitoring database at Diakonhjemmet Hospital in Oslo. The patients were divided into CYP2C19 genotype-predicted phenotype subgroups, i.e. normal (NMs), ultra rapid (UMs), intermediate (IMs), and poor metabolisers (PMs). The differences in dose-harmonized serum concentrations of sertraline and N-desmethylsertraline-to-sertraline metabolic ratio were compared between the subgroups, with CYP2C19 NMs set as reference. The patient proportions outside the therapeutic concentration range were also compared between the subgroups with NMs defined as reference. Compared with the CYP2C19 NMs, the sertraline serum concentration was increased 1.38-fold (95% CI 1.26–1.50) and 2.68-fold (95% CI 2.16–3.31) in CYP2C19 IMs and PMs, respectively (p < 0.001), while only a marginally lower serum concentration (−10%) was observed in CYP2C19 UMs (p = 0.012). The odds ratio for having a sertraline concentration above the therapeutic reference range was 1.97 (95% CI 1.21–3.21, p = 0.064) and 8.69 (95% CI 3.88–19.19, p < 0.001) higher for IMs and PMs vs. -

2015-02 Toxicology Rapid Testing Panel
SOUTH CAROLINA LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION NIKKI R. HALEY MARK A. KEEL Governor Chief FORENSIC SERVICES LABORATORY CUSTOMER NOTICE 2015-02 REGARDING TOXICOLOGY RAPID TESTING PANEL August 12, 2015 This notice is to inform the Coroners of South Carolina of a new testing panel available through the SLED Toxicology Department. On Monday, August 17th, the Toxicology Department will begin offering both a Rapid Testing Panel in addition to the already available Expanded Testing Panel. This Rapid Testing Panel is to be utilized in cases where the Expanded Testing Panel is not warranted, specifically where a cause of death has already been established. The Rapid Testing Panel will consist of volatiles analysis, to include, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol and methanol, drug screens, and drug confirmation/quantitation of positive screens. The cases assigned to the Rapid Testing Panel will have an expedited turnaround time. Targeted turn around times will be two weeks for negative cases and six weeks or less for positive cases. While every effort will be made to adhere to these time frames, additional time may be required on occasion due to the nature of postmortem samples. Submitters will be notified if there is a problem with a particular sample. Please see attachment regarding specifically which substances are covered by the Rapid Testing Panel and the Expanded Testing Panel. As always, a detailed case history and list of drugs suspected is appreciated. Rapid Panel and Expanded Panel will be choices available in iLAB. Please contact Lt. Dustin Smith (803-896-7385) with additional questions. ALI-359-T An Accredited Law Enforcement Agency P.O. -
