Probing the characteristics and biofunctional effects of disease-affected cells and drug response via machine learning applications.

Critical reviews in biotechnology
Drug-induced transformations in disease characteristics at the cellular and molecular level offers the opportunity to predict and evaluate the efficacy of pharmaceutical ingredients whilst enabling the optimal design of new and improved drugs with en...

Initial dosing of intermittent vancomycin in adults: estimation of dosing interval in relation to dose and renal function.

European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice
OBJECTIVES: Due to the high interindividual variability in vancomycin pharmacokinetics, optimisation of its dosing is still challenging. This study aimed to explore vancomycin pharmacokinetics in adult patients and to propose an easy applicable dosin...

Prediction of Chemotherapy Response of Osteosarcoma Using Baseline F-FDG Textural Features Machine Learning Approaches with PCA.

Contrast media & molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Patients with high-grade osteosarcoma undergo several chemotherapy cycles before surgical intervention. Response to chemotherapy, however, is affected by intratumor heterogeneity. In this study, we assessed the ability of a machine learning ...

UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of carbamazepine and its seven major metabolites in serum of epileptic patients.

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences
Carbamazepine (CBZ) was considered as the drug of choice in the treatment for various forms of epilepsy, yet the non-negligible adverse effects of CBZ suspend as the major concern for rational and efficient clinical medication. This study developed a...

A 6 Second Analytical Method for Quantitation of Tacrolimus in Whole Blood by Use of Laser Diode Thermal Desorption Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

The journal of applied laboratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic drug monitoring of immunosuppressive drugs is imperative for organ transplant recipients. High-performance LC-MS/MS is considered gold standard; however, immunoassays provide rapid turnaround time. New technology was developed...

Validation of the Behavior of a Knowledge Base Implementing Clinical Guidelines for Point-of-Care Antiretroviral Toxicity Monitoring.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
This study investigated the automated detection of antiretroviral toxicities in structured electronic health records data. The evaluation compared responses generated by 5 clinical pharmacists and 1 prototype knowledge-based application for 15 random...

Therapeutic drug monitoring of levetiracetam in daily clinical practice: high-performance liquid chromatography versus immunoassay.

European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice
OBJECTIVES: Although levetiracetam presents an easy dosing and tolerability, therapeutic drug monitoring may be recommended in certain situations. Measurement of levetiracetam in serum plasma is commonly done by high performance liquid chromatography...

Fast and easy extraction of antidepressants from whole blood using ionic liquids as extraction solvent.

Talanta
This study aims to prove that ionic liquids (ILs) can be used as extraction solvents in a liquid-liquid microextraction, coupled to LC-MS/MS, for the quantification of a large group of antidepressants in whole blood samples. The sample preparation pr...
