    Abstract: Purpose. To assess the agreement in 24-hour area under the curve (AUC24) value estimates between commonly used vancomycin population pharmacokinetic models in the critically ill. Materials and Methods. Adults admitted to intensive care who received intravenous vancomycin and had a serum vancomycin concentration available were included. AUC24 values were determined using Tucuxi (revision cd7bd7a8) for dosing intervals with a vancomycin concentration using three models (Goti 2018, Colin 2019, and Thomson 2009) previously evaluated in the critically ill. AUC24 values were categorized as subtherapeutic ( 〈 400 mg·h/L), therapeutic (400–600 mg·h/L), or toxic ( 〉 600 mg·h/L), assuming a minimum inhibitory concentration of 1 mg/L. AUC24 value categorization was compared across the three models and reported as percent agreement. Results. Overall, 466 AUC24 values were estimated in 188 patients. Overall, 52%, 42%, and 47% of the AUC24 values were therapeutic for the Goti, Colin, and Thomson models, respectively. The agreement of AUC24 values between all three models was 48% (223/466), Goti-Colin 59% (193/466), Goti-Thomson 68% (318/466), and Colin-Thomson 67% (314/466). Conclusion. In critically ill patients, vancomycin AUC24 values obtained from different pharmacokinetic models are often discordant, potentially contributing to differences in dosing decisions. This highlights the importance of selecting the optimal model.

    In: Parkinson's Disease, Hindawi Limited, Vol. 2022 ( 2022-11-9), p. 1-12
    Abstract: The hemiparkinsonian nonhuman primate model induced by unilateral injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) into the carotid artery is used to study Parkinson’s disease. However, there have been no studies that the contralateral distribution of MPTP via the cerebral collateral circulation is provided by both the circle of Willis (CoW) and connections of the carotid artery. To investigate whether MPTP-induced unilaterally damaged regions were determined by asymmetrical cerebral blood flow, the differential asymmetric damage of striatal subregions, and examined structural asymmetries in a circle of Willis, and blood flow velocity of the common carotid artery were observed in three monkeys that were infused with MPTP through the left internal carotid artery. Lower flow velocity in the ipsilateral common carotid artery and a higher ratio of ipsilateral middle cerebral artery diameter to anterior cerebral artery diameter resulted in unilateral damage. Additionally, the unilateral damaged monkey observed the apomorphine-induced contralateral rotation behavior and the temporary increase of plasma RANTES. Contrastively, higher flow velocity in the ipsilateral common carotid artery was observed in the bilateral damaged monkey. It is suggested that asymmetry of blood flow velocity and structural asymmetry of the circle of Willis should be taken into consideration when establishing more efficient hemiparkinsonian nonhuman primate models.
