  • The Role of Nanobiosensors in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
    Journal of Personalized Medicine Review Personalized Medicine for Antibiotics: The Role of Nanobiosensors in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Vivian Garzón 1, Rosa-Helena Bustos 2 and Daniel G. Pinacho 2,* 1 PhD Biosciences Program, Universidad de La Sabana, Chía 140013, Colombia; [email protected] 2 Therapeutical Evidence Group, Clinical Pharmacology, Universidad de La Sabana, Chía 140013, Colombia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +57-1-8615555 (ext. 23309) Received: 21 August 2020; Accepted: 7 September 2020; Published: 25 September 2020 Abstract: Due to the high bacterial resistance to antibiotics (AB), it has become necessary to adjust the dose aimed at personalized medicine by means of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). TDM is a fundamental tool for measuring the concentration of drugs that have a limited or highly toxic dose in different body fluids, such as blood, plasma, serum, and urine, among others. Using different techniques that allow for the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis of the drug, TDM can reduce the risks inherent in treatment. Among these techniques, nanotechnology focused on biosensors, which are relevant due to their versatility, sensitivity, specificity, and low cost. They provide results in real time, using an element for biological recognition coupled to a signal transducer. This review describes recent advances in the quantification of AB using biosensors with a focus on TDM as a fundamental aspect of personalized medicine. Keywords: biosensors; therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), antibiotic; personalized medicine 1. Introduction The discovery of antibiotics (AB) ushered in a new era of progress in controlling bacterial infections in human health, agriculture, and livestock [1] However, the use of AB has been challenged due to the appearance of multi-resistant bacteria (MDR), which have increased significantly in recent years due to AB mismanagement and have become a global public health problem [2].

Their common maximum 97% levels identified six SOCDs only, apt to evaluate the most frequent single ADRs for each class, and their percentual normalization profiles for each product. The WILKS's chi square statistics for the related contingency tables, and Gabriel’s STP procedure applied to the extracted double data sets then produced profile binary clustering, as well as Euclidean confirmatory plots. They finally showed similar objectively evaluated autoclassificative trends of these products, which do not completely correspond to their actual ATC V08A A, B and C subdivision: while amidotrizoate and iotalamate, and respectively iohesol and iopamidol are confirmed to belong to the A and B subgroups, ioxaglate behaves fluctuating within A, B and C, but iodamide looks surprizingly, constantly positioned together with iodoxamate as binary/ternary C associated. In view of the recent work of Campillos et al (Science, 2008) which throws light on the subject, the above discrepancies do not appear anymore unexpected or alarming.

  • Bupivacaine Hcl Rx Only 0.5% with Epinephrine 1:200,000 (As Bitartrate) (Bupivacaine Hydrochloride and Epinephrine Injection, USP)
    Bupivacaine HCl Rx only 0.5% with epinephrine 1:200,000 (as bitartrate) (bupivacaine hydrochloride and epinephrine injection, USP) THIS SOLUTION IS INTENDED FOR DENTAL USE. DESCRIPTION Bupivacaine hydrochloride is (±) -1-Butyl-2´,6´-pipecoloxylidide monohydrochloride, monohydrate, a white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in 95 percent ethanol, soluble in water, and slightly soluble in chloroform or acetone. It has the following structural formula: Epinephrine is (-)-3,4-Dihydroxy-α-[(methylamino)methyl] benzyl alcohol. It has the following structural formula: BUPIVACAINE HCl is available in a sterile isotonic solution with epinephrine (as bitartrate) 1:200,000. Solutions of BUPIVACAINE HCl containing epinephrine may not be autoclaved. BUPIVACAINE HCl is related chemically and pharmacologically to the aminoacyl local anesthetics. It is a homologue of mepivacaine and is chemically related to lidocaine. All three of these anesthetics contain an amide linkage between the aromatic nucleus and the amino or piperidine group. They differ in this respect from the procaine-type local anesthetics, which have an ester linkage. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY BUPIVACAINE HCl stabilizes the neuronal membrane and prevents the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses, thereby effecting local anesthesia. The onset of action following dental injections is usually 2 to 10 minutes and anesthesia may last two or three times longer than lidocaine and mepivacaine for dental use, in many patients up to 7 hours. The duration of anesthetic effect is prolonged by the addition of epinephrine 1:200,000. It has also been noted that there is a period of analgesia that persists after the return of sensation, during which time the need for strong analgesic is reduced.
