The aim of this study was to know the pharmacokinetic parameters of salicylic acid in New Zealand sheep after administration of multiple intravenous and oral doses of sodium salicylate (sodium salt of salicylic acid). Results of the study suggest that the half-life of the drug was shorter and clearance was faster after intravenous administration as compared to that of the oral administration. The minimum effective concentration required to produce analgesia in humans (16.8 µL) was achieved in sheep for about 0.17 h in the current study after intravenous administration of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of sodium salicylate. However, oral administration of these doses failed to achieve the minimum effective concentration as mentioned above. This study is of significance as it adds valuable information on pharmacokinetics and its variation due to breed, species, age, gender and environmental conditions.

  • Flunixin, Extension to Horses
    The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products Veterinary Medicines and Information Technology EMEA/MRL/744/00- FINAL June 2000 COMMITTEE FOR VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCTS FLUNIXIN (Extension to horses) SUMMARY REPORT (2) 1. Flunixin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and a non-narcotic analgesic with antipyretic activities. In veterinary medicine, it is used with meglumine as solubilizer as flunixin meglumine. Flunixin meglumine is used in the alleviation of inflammation and pain associated with musculo-skeletal disorders and colic in horses; the control of acute inflammation associated with infectious diseases in cattle and as an aid in the treatment of mastitis metritis agalactia syndrome (MMA) in sows. A dose of 2.2 mg/kg bw by the intravenous route once a day for up to 3 days is indicated for bovines, whilst 2.2 mg/kg bw intramuscularly (up to 2 injections, 12 hours apart) is recommended for sows affected by MMA syndrome. Flunixin meglumine is also used in veterinary medicine in combination with oxytetracycline for the treatment of bovine pneumonia at a dose of 2 mg/kg bw (once a day for 3 to 5 days by the intravenous or the intramuscular routes). The Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products (CVMP) previously retained an ADI of 6 µg/kg bw (i.e. 360 µg/person) for flunixin, by applying a safety factor of 100 to the NOEL of 0.6 mg/kg bw/day which was established in a 90-day repeated dose gavage study in the dog. Flunixin is currently included in Annex I of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 in accordance with the following table: Pharmacologically Marker Animal MRLs Target tissue Other active substance(s) residue species provisions Flunixin Flunixin Bovine 20 µg/kg Muscle 30 µg/kg Fat 300 µg/kg Liver 100 µg/kg Kidney 5-Hydroxy Bovine 40 µg/kg Milk flunixin Flunixin Porcine 50 µg/kg Muscle 10 µg/kg Skin + fat 200 µg/kg Liver 30 µg/kg Kidney An application has now been received for the extention of the MRLs for flunixin to edible tissues of horses.

  • What Are the Acute Treatments for Migraine and How Are They Used?
    2. Acute Treatment CQ II-2-1 What are the acute treatments for migraine and how are they used? Recommendation The mainstay of acute treatment for migraine is pharmacotherapy. The drugs used include (1) acetaminophen, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans and (5) antiemetics. Stratified treatment according to the severity of migraine is recommended: use NSAIDs such as aspirin and naproxen for mild to moderate headache, and use triptans for moderate to severe headache, or even mild to moderate headache when NSAIDs were ineffective in the past. It is necessary to give guidance and cautions to patients having acute attacks, and explain the methods of using medications (timing, dose, frequency of use) and medication use during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Grade A Background and Objective The objective of acute treatment is to resolve the migraine attack completely and rapidly and restore the patient’s normal functions. An ideal treatment should have the following characteristics: (1) resolves pain and associated symptoms rapidly; (2) is consistently effective; (3) no recurrence; (4) no need for additional use of medication; (5) no adverse effects; (6) can be administered by the patients themselves; and (7) low cost. Literature was searched to identify acute treatments that satisfy the above conditions. Comments and Evidence The acute treatment drugs for migraine generally include (1) acetaminophens, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans, and (5) antiemetics. For severe migraines including status migrainosus and migraine attacks refractory to treatment, (6) anesthetics, and (7) corticosteroids (dexamethasone) are used (Tables 1 and 2).1)-9) There are two approaches to the selection and sequencing of these medications: “step care” and “stratified care”.

Clinical Psychology Menstrually Related and Nonmenstrual Migraines in a Frequent Migraine Population: Features, Correlates, and Acute Treatment Differences (307 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Kenneth A. Holroyd This research describes and compares menstrually related migraines as defined by recent proposed guidelines of the International Headache Society (IHS, 2004) to nonmenstrual migraines in a population of female migraineurs with frequent, disabling migraines. Migraines are compared by frequency per day of the menstrual cycle, headache features, use of abortive and rescue medications, and acute migraine treatment outcomes. In addition, this study explores predictors of acute treatment response and headache recurrence within 24 hours following acute migraine treatment for menstrually related migraines. Participants are 107 menstruating female migaineurs who met IHS (2004) proposed criteria for menstrually related migraines and completed headache diaries using hand-held computers. Diary data are analyzed using repeated measures logistic regression. The frequency of migraines is significantly increased during the perimenstrual period, and menstrually related migraines are of longer duration and greater frequency with longer lasting disability than nonmenstrual migraines.

Forty white male albino rats were used. Total acid content, ulcer area/mm2, histological study, mucosal & serum Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) by calorimetry and mucosal & serum PGE2 and serum TNF-α by ELISA were assayed. Titrable acidity and total acid output decreased in garlic, misoprostol and omeprazole treated groups. Garlic, misoprostol and omeprazole improved gastric mucosa and 2 decreased ulcer formation and ulcer area/mm . Aspirin decreased PGE2 in gastric mucosa and serum. Co-administration of garlic to aspirin significantly increased PGE2 near to normal in gastric mucosa. Aspirin significantly increased serum TNF-α than control and other groups. Garlic is suggested to protect the stomach against ulcer formation induced by aspirin by reducing gastric acidity, ulcer area, improve gastric mucosa, increasing PGE2 and decreasing TNF-α. Keywords: Aspirin, Garlic, Misoprostol, Omeprazole, Peptic ulcer INTRODUCTION Peptic ulcer is a worldwide problem, that present in around 4% of the population [1]. About 10% of people develop a peptic ulcer in their life [2].

Beraprost sodium (BPS) is a prostaglandin analogue. We investigated its effects on rats with diabetic nephropathy. There were 20 rats each in the normal control group (NC), the diabetic nephropathy group (DN), and the BPS treatment group. The rats in DN and BPS groups were given a high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin intraperitoneal injections. The rats in the BPS group were given daily 0.6 mg/kg intraperitoneal injections of this drug. After 8 weeks, blood glucose, 24-h UAlb, Cr, BUN, hs-CRP, and IL-6 levels increased significantly in the DN group compared with the NC group; however, the body mass was significantly reduced in the DN group compared with the NC group. Blood glucose, urine output, 24-h UAlb, Cr, hs-CRP, and IL-6 levels were significantly lower in the BPS group than in the DN group; the body mass was significantly greater in the DN group. Therefore, we concluded that BPS can improve renal function and protect the kidneys of DN rats by reducing oxidative stress and generation of inflammatory cytokines; it also decreases urinary protein Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (2): 4154-4158 (2014) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Beraprost sodium and diabetic nephropathy 4155 excretion of rats with diabetic nephropathy.

Andrew Claude DVM, Dipl ACVAA Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine [email protected] Objectives • Definitions. • Process of Nociception. • What is pain? • AVMA/ACVAA regarding pain. • Patient – client considerations • Pain management in medicine • Clinical signs of pain in dogs/cats • Preemptive analgesia options • Pain scores in dogs and cats (if time) Definitions • Anesthesia = analgesia = analgesic? Clinician's Brief • General anesthesia: General vs. local and regional anesthesia • Analgesia: the inability to feel pain • Analgesic: any member or group of drugs used to achieve analgesia or relief from pain. • Analgesia →Nociception • Acute vs. Chronic pain, neuropathic pain Process of nociception • Transduction • Aβ, Aδ, c-Fibers, silent • Transmission • Dorsal horn, CNS • Primary Modulation • Segmental reflexes • Projection • Perception • Conscious Pain • Autonomic (SNS) • Memory • Emotions • Central/peripheral • Humans/animals What is pain? • Definition: “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage.” • Sensory component (nociception) • Affective component (experience) • Considered the 5th clinical sign • HR • RR • Temp • BP • Pain assessment What is pain? • Requires conscious perception of a noxious event • Do unconscious patients perceive pain? • Nociception: “the neurophysiological process whereby noxious mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli are transduced into electrical signals (action potentials) by high-threshold nociceptors.” These action potentials follow a series of pathways that ultimately end in the brain • The conscious result is “pain” AVMA • Pain in Animals • Animal pain is a clinically important condition that adversely affects an animal's quality of life. Drugs, techniques, or husbandry methods should be used to prevent, minimize, and relieve pain in animals experiencing or expected to experience pain.
