Special Pharmacokinetic Considerations in Children

Summary: Pediatric patients have greater degrees of pharmacokinetic variability and unpredictability than adults. This variability results from the effects of pharmacogenetics, age and growth, prior and current comedication, and disease. Newborns with seizures have the least predictable dosage requirements, and their needs change as drug-eliminating mechanisms mature in the neonatal period. Infants have the highest relative capacities to eliminate antiepileptics of any age group and require the largest relative doses. In addition to age-related trends, children demonstrate the same drug-specific, pharmacokinetic phenomena that adults do, including nonlinear phenytoin elimination, nonlinear valproate binding, and autoinduction of carbamazepine. Intercurrent illness and drug interactions further modify the age-related pharmacokinetic patterns in children and make dosage requirements even more unpredictable. Recent studies have shown that febrile illness can affect drug elimination, sometimes decreasing drug levels by 50% or more. Intermittent treatment with benzodiazepines administered either orally or rectally can be an important adjunct and help minimize this type of problem for children with marginally controlled epilepsy. Intermittent benzodiazepines are also helpful for children who have febrile seizures and who need only occasional antiepileptic protection.     

The Toxic Effects of Serum from Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus on Mouse Neuroblastoma Cells: A New Mechanism for Development of Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy

The pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy is incompletely understood. The possibility that humoral neurotoxic factors contribute as a cause of diabetic neuropathy was tested by application of serum from patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes to mouse neuroblastoma cells, which have the characteristics of adrenergic neurons in culture. Serum from patients with Type 1 diabetes and somatic neuropathy significantly inhibited both proliferation and differentiation of neuroblastoma cells, while serum from patients with Type 1 diabetes but no symptoms of neuropathy and patients with Type 2 diabetes and neuropathy had no effect on proliferation, and serum from Type 2 patients only marginally inhibited differentiation. The effects of Type 1 diabetic serum could be reversed by pre-absorption of the serum to neuroblastoma cells, and were independent of glucose levels. Immunoglobulins precipitated from the sera mimicked the effects of whole sera. These results suggest that Type 1 diabetes mellitus causes a change in serum composition, possibly related to autoimmunity, that is capable of contributing to adrenergic autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients.     

Serum modulates cyclic AMP-dependent morphological changes in cultured neurohypophysial astrocytes

The effects of serum on the morphological plasticity exhibited by pituicytes in explant cultures of the neurohypophysis of adult rats have been examined. Cultured pituicytes are normally nonstellate, protoplasmic, amorphous cells (< 25% are stellate with a distinct cell body and phase bright processes). After incubation (90 min) of pituicyte cultures in a HEPES buffered salt solution (HBSS) supplemented with isoproterenol or forskolin, the fraction of stellate pituicytes significantly increased. The increase in the fraction of stellate cells induced by isoproterenol was not reversed by subsequent incubation in isoproterenol-free HBSS for 90 min. In contrast, after stellation was induced in cultures by exposure to forskolin (90 min), the fraction of stellate cells was significantly reduced if these cultures were incubated in forskolin-free, serum (0.5%) supplemented HBSS for the same duration. Serum also blocked the increase in the fraction of stellate pituicytes induced by forskolin. These experiments suggest that serum components may have a significant role in controlling the plasticity of neuroglial relations in the neurohypophysis priviously demonstrated in vivo.     

The ‘limits’ of medicalization?: Modern medicine and the lay populace in ‘late’ modernity

Taking as its point of departure the medicalization thesis and its limitations, this paper provides a critical discussion of certain more recent theoretical perspectives on life in contemporary society, and their relevance for understanding the relationship between modern medicine and the lay populace. In particular, attention is paid to the contours and existential parameters of life in ‘late’ modernity in terms of the following four key themes: (i) modernity as a ‘reflexive’ social order; (ii) ‘risk’ and the dialectic of scientific and social rationality; (iii) the ‘mediation’ of contemporary experience; and (iv) lay ‘re-skilling’ and the ‘life political’ agenda. On the basis of this, it is argued that far from being simply passive and dependent, a ‘critical distance’ is beginning to emerge between modern medicine and the lay populace; a situation which resonates with broader social trends and currents within society at large.
