Mild migraine attack can be treated with acetaminophen or NSAIDs either alone or combined with metoclopramide. In severe and devastating attacks triptans should be taken immediately, and not afterwards, when first line NSAIDs have proven ineffektive. No significant differences between triptans can be shown in clinical practice, when recommended doses are used. Opioid analgesics should not be used in the treatment of migraine. The recommended drugs for migraine attacks in children are acetaminophen or ibuprophen...

This article provides a new innovative tool for pharmaceutical preformulation to predict whether a disintegrant excipient or mixture of powder containing API+excipients is suitable to obtain a bucodispersible tablet by direct compression or not. This innovative tool is the new model SeDeM-ODT that provides the Index of Good Compressibility and Bucodispersibility (IGCB index), which is based on the previous SeDeM expert system that indicates the aptitude of a powder to be compressed. The IGCB index is composed of six main factors (from 15 pharmaceutical raw parameters), which indicate whether a mixture of powder has the aptitude to be compressed by direct compression and at the same time indicates whether these tablets are suitable to be used as a bucodispersible tablet (disintegration time lower than 3 min)...

Pharmaceuticals are regularly released into the environment; in particular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. Erythromycin, naproxen, furosemide and atenolol are reported to be stable for up to 1 year in the environment, which increases the risk for accumulation. In the present study we have measured the occurrence and concentration of pharmaceuticals in river Viskan (Jössabron) downstream of a sewage treatment plant in Borås, Sweden. Pharmaceuticals and water samples were tested for potential human risk by evaluating inflammatory responses (NF-kappaB and AP-1) using human T24 bladder epithelial cells and Jurkat T-cells...

Recent studies indicate that polymicrobial sepsis can markedly increase inducible macrophage Ao (nonnecrotic cellular suicide) and that this is associated with decreased M phi function. In vitro studies suggest that M phi Ao can be induced by IL-1 beta via interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE, a cysteine protease), prostanoids, or reactive oxygen/nitrogen. However, the mechanism(s) underlying this process in septic M phi remains unknown. To determine this, male C3H/HeN mice were subjected to sepsis (cecal ligation and puncture, CLP) or sham-operation...
