Hume, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS The 35 million Americans aged 65 or older are a heterogeneous group, ranging from independently living older adults who have "successfully" aged with few comorbid conditions to the 1.6 million frail elderly nursing home residents.1 The last two decades have witnessed advances in drug therapy for the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases associated with aging. As death rates have declined, the prevalence of chronic diseases and the need for safe and effective drug therapy in the elderly has increased. NEW DRUGS AND THE ELDERLY An adage advises that one should not be the first person to prescribe a new drug, nor the last to abandon an old drug. This remains a fundamental principle in safe and effective prescribing in the elderly. Basic questions of safety, efficacy and value continue to challenge clinicians when new medications are introduced. Further, balancing the potential additive benefit against the extra expense compared to established medications can be difficult when an individual and society have limited resources. Also, pharmaceutical promotion traditionally highlights the possible advantages of a new medication while the potential for side effects and drug interactions remains inadequately defined in the elderly. In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration FDA ; approved 18 new drug entities.2 With few exceptions for medications such as memantine that are used primarily in older adults with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, most new drugs for chronic conditions continue to be studied primarily in middle-aged, relatively healthy populations with few concomitant chronic diseases or medications. Although data are presented on the use of new drugs in "the elderly", these individuals are between the ages of 65 and 74, and rarely have multiple comorbid conditions such as heart failure or chronic renal failure. Despite this, many older adults with multiple coexisting conditions are among the first patients to receive a new drug in clinical practice. The true safety profile of a new drug in the elderly frequently emerges only after its widespread use and remains dependent on voluntary reports to the FDA's MedWatch program : fda.gov medwatch ; . Metformin is a classic example. The drug had been used in Europe for many years prior to its US approval. Metformin was considered to be essentially free of lactic acidosis that had prompted the removal of its predecessor, phenformin, from the US market in the 1970s. However, lactic acidosis was quickly recognized to be a significant adverse drug reaction in the elderly who commonly have multiple risk factors for its development including renal insufficiency and heart failure. One of the best examples of the dilemma in using new drugs in the elderly is with the selective cyclo-oxygenase COX ; -2 inhibitors such as rofecoxib and celecoxib. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAID ; have been recognized for many years to cause adverse gastrointestinal GI ; effects ranging from dyspepsia to acute bleeding and death. The risk of serious GI complications from traditional NSAID varies from 7.3 per 1000 patient years in osteoarthritis to 13 per 1000 patient years in rheumatoid arthritis.3 The mortality rate from NSAID-induced GI complications has been estimated to be 0.22% yearly.3 Advanced age is consistently identified as a major risk factor, and the risk may increase linearly with age. Celecoxib and rofecoxib quickly became among the most commonly prescribed medications, generating $3.05 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in global sales in 2002.4 A common perception continues to be that their safety is much better in the elderly. However, the actual overall safety profile of COX2 inhibitors, compared to traditional NSAIDs, has remained controversial, in part based on two large studies including the Celecoxib Long-term Arthritis Safety Study CLASS ; and the Vioxx Gastrointestinal Outcomes Research VIGOR ; trial.5, 6 The CLASS trial enrolled 8059 patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, with 39% of participants 65 years of age or older and 12% were 75 years of age or older.5 Patients received celecoxib 400 mg twice daily, ibuprofen 800 mg 3 times day, or diclofenac 75 mg twice daily. The use of aspirin in a dose of 325 mg day or less was permitted for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular prophylaxis with 20% of participants using aspirin. The primary outcome measure was the annualized incidence of ulcer complications including gastric or duodenal perforation, gastric outlet obstruction and upper GI bleeding. The use of celecoxib and the traditional NSAID resulted in the occurrence of the primary outcome measure in 0.76% and 1.45%, respectively, of treated patients. This difference was not statistically significant. When the primary outcome measure was combined with symptomatic ulcers, the use of celecoxib and the traditional NSAID was associated with 2.08% and 3.54%, respectively. Among individuals using low-dose aspirin, celecoxib did not decrease the risk of either the primary or secondary outcome measure compared to ibuprofen or diclofenac. This study is controversial. Significant concern was raised when it was reported that only 6-month data was released when more information was available and had been reported to the FDA. Although presented as one study, data from CLASS came from two studies including a 12month comparison between celecoxib and diclofenac and a 16-month comparison to ibuprofen. Based on the CLASS findings, the FDA indicated that celecoxib does not offer major advantages in terms of GI safety, although it stated that the concomitant use of aspirin may have masked the benefit from celecoxib. The VIGOR trial randomized 8076 patients mean age, 58 years ; with rheumatoid arthritis to receive rofecoxib 50 mg day or naproxen 500 mg twice daily.5, 6 The.
Was 43% 46 106 ; , significantly higher than in the general population P 0.024 ; . There was no significant difference of allele frequency between boys and girls. Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion deletion, angiotensinogen M235T, and the angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor A1166C genotype distribution showed no difference from those of the control subjects. These findings indicate that the AGTR2 gene may play a major role in the development of congenital obstructive nephropathy. IPNA 2005. 500. Nitric oxide modulates renal vasoconstrictor effect of endothelin-1 in conscious lambs - Smith F.G., van der Velde L. and Sener A. [F.G.

NEPHROL. 2005 20 11 ; - summ in ENGL To test the hypothesis that nitric oxide NO ; buffers the renal vasoconstrictor effects of endothelin-1 ET-1 ; early in life, renal haemodynamic responses to ET-1 were measured in the presence and absence of endogenously produced NO in conscious lambs. Renal haemodynamic effects of ET-1 were measured for 5 min before control ; and 20 min after intraarterial injection of ET-1 before and after pretreatment with 20 mg kg of the L-arginine analogue NG nitro-L-arginine methyl ester L-NAME ; , experiment 1 ; and its inactive isomer D-NAME experiment 2 ; in conscious lambs aged 1 weeks N 7 ; and 6 weeks N 6 ; . The two experiments were carried out in random order at intervals of 24-48 h. In lambs aged 6 weeks, a marked increase in renal vascular resistance RVR ; was elicited by ET-1 administration; this response was enhanced twofold following pretreatment with L-NAME. In 1-week-old lambs, however, an increase in RVR in response to ET-1 occurred only after pretreatment with L-NAME. Therefore, we accept our hypothesis and conclude that NO buffers the renal vasoconstrictor effects of ET-1 early in life. IPNA 2005. 501.

NEPHROL. 2005 20 11 ; - summ in ENGL The relative potency and interrelationship between vasoactive and natriuretic mediators are thought to be important in the transition from fetal to neonatal life. The relationship between urinary vasoactive factors and sodium excretion has not been adequately addressed in premature infants receiving indomethacin and ibuprofen for therapy of patent ductus arteriosus. Excretion rates of AVP, ET-1 and sodium were measured in premature infants with RDS receiving indomethacin or ibuprofen. Forty-four RDS premature infants 34-week gestation ; with PDA received either ibuprofen n 22 ; in initial dose of 10 mg kg followed by two doses of 5 mg kg each after 24 and 48 h or doses at 12-h intervals of indomethacin n 24 ; , 0.2 mg kg, infused continuously over a period of 15 min. Urinary ET-1, AVP and sodium excretion were measured before and after treatment.

By the time the proposal for health financing activities was finalized and delivered and USAID proceeded with a determination of preferred activities to be undertaken by HFS, the time available for implementing activities was severely constrained given the approaching termination date of September 18, 1994 for the HFS Project. This time constraint unavoidably limited the scope and duration of work that realistically could be completed by the project deadline. The survey of costs, revenues, utilization, and staffing at PHC facilities was conducted during a three-week field assignment. In the concluding section of this report, gaps in information are highlighted and suggestions are put forth for future activities that would provide a more detailed perspective on the level of revenues and expenses at public health facilities and isosorbide, for instance, acetaminophen equate ibuprofen.

The UMC Products & Services are striving to make the WHO dictionaries high quality products with timely releases and optimal support functions. To be able to increase the coverage in a larger number of countries and get fast access to information about new releases the UMC is collaborating with IMS Health. The result of this collaboration is called WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced which contains data from both the WHO Drug Dictionary and the IMS Health data. It is produced in the same formats and with the same principles as the previous WHO Drug Dictionary. The collaboration project started within the UMC Products & Services in 2004. At the end of the project more than 15 people from both of the divisions within UMC were involved. The project team have worked intensively to analyze, map and verify the IMS data, and to import the data into the WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced structure. A lot of effort has been put into the quality assurance of the dictionary; the large amount of data has been a big challenge for both technicians and pharmacists. The data in the dictionary has been released at four intervals over the last year. The fourth release of the WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced, released March 1 2006, contains more than 1 million Medicinal Product IDs and nearly 180, 000 unique trade names from 95 countries including the IMS data from 66 countries ; . It has been a learning year; the ambition was to computerize most of the work, as we did, but still a lot of manual effort was needed to verify and to validate the trade names from IMS, as these often appeared shortened. We have got a lot of experience how medicinal products are spread over the world and which substance combinations are the most common. A lot of trade names are repeated exactly in different countries and a handful of substances combinations such as Paracetamol, Sulfamethoxazole Trimethoprim, Ibuprofen, Amoxicillin trihydrate and Diclofenac sodium have each almost 1, 000 trade names represented in the dictionary. The project is now translating into a maintainance operation where the collaboration with IMS continues in quarterly updates of IMS data to be included in the WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced. Statistics based upon product information from the WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced release March 1, 2006.

Prostaglandins have several actions relevant to cytokines and menstrual dysfuction since they are involved in both the initiation of menstruation and in pain associated with menstruation. Prostaglandins have an hyperalgesic effect, accentuating cytokine actions at nociceptors Ferreira et al., 1973 ; . Thus, the analgesic effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs ; can be understood in the context of the two-mediator hypothesis, which impinges on many prostaglandin effects Williams and Morley, 1973 ; . A study in which the prostacyclin PGI ; receptor was ablated in mice showed that such animals had a higher pain threshold Murata et al., 1997 ; and, although little PGI is synthesized in human endometrium Abel and Kelly, 1979 ; , this effect might be relevant to menstrual pain originating in myometrium, where PGI is the major prostaglandin. Prostaglandins are involved in the control of cytokine release, cell growth, differentiation and vasoactive effects. It is probably this vasoactive proinflammatory action that accounts for the anti-inflammatory action of aspirin, iuprofen and fenamates such as mefenamic acid Ponstan ; .

However, serum levels by far do not reflect the concentrations that cytokines or soluble cytokine receptors can reach in interstitial compartments of inflamed or apparently healthy ; tissues, where immune cells can strongly increase local mediator concentrations by targeted release or secretion. For example, Noguchi et al. 39 ; have reported median spontaneous release values of 100148 ng sTNFR1 per gram specimen in supernatants from cultures of mucosal biopsies, indicating even much higher concentrations in the immediate vicinity of sTNFR1-releasing immune cells in the tissue. Therefore, the sTNFR1 concentrations used in the present study to induce apoptosis are well conceivable in the context of inflammatory microenvironments and immunological synapses. Despite several studies on the induction of apoptosis 2527 ; and activation of p38 28 ; and ERK1 2 33 ; by anti-TNF- antibodies via mTNF- reverse signaling, the mechanisms underlying these phenomena have remained elusive. All data available so far suggest that antiTNF- antibodies selectively kill activated immune cells at sites of inflammation but not resting or circulating cells 2527 ; . This selectivity is probably mainly due to the presence of much larger amounts of mTNF- on activated cells see below ; . Interestingly, only high-affinity antiTNF- antibodies such as infliximab, but not the low-affinity TNFR2 fusion protein etanercept 40 ; , have been shown to induce apoptosis 41 ; . Etanercept neutralizes soluble TNF- as effectively as infliximab 41 ; . Therefore, the induction of apoptosis by high-affinity TNF- binding agents such as sTNFR1 or anti-TNF- antibodies is due to ligation of mTNF- and not to the mere neutralization of secreted TNF-, which can be a survival factor for monocytic cells 41 ; . In addition, it has been shown that monovalent anti-TNF- Fab fragments have the same apoptosis-inducing capacity as bivalent anti-TNF- antibodies 25 ; , which rules out antibody crosslinking effects and supports the data obtained with monovalent sTNFR1 in the present study. Some descriptive evidence indicates that mTNF--mediated apoptosis is CD95-independent 25 ; but involves activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9 as well as an altered Bax Bcl ratio 25, 26 ; and mitochondrial release of cytochrome c 25 ; . However, no functional interference studies on the mechanisms of these apoptotic processes have been published so far. The functional data in the present study support the notion of a death receptor FADD ; -independent and caspase-8 FLICEdependent apoptosis pathway in response to mTNF- ligation. For mechanistic studies, we have verified and extended our findings in primary human monocytes in the human myelomonocytic cell line THP-1. Besides the general advantages of a closely defined cell line for efficient transfection and mapping signaling pathways, THP-1 cells were particularly useful to analyze the specificity of apoptosis and the signaling mechanisms triggered in response to sTNFR1, because resting THP-1 cells constitutively express mTNF- 42 ; . In contrast, mTNF- expression on primary cells is generally part of a stress response, e.g., the adherence-induced TNF- expression of primary monocytes 43, 44 ; , which activates multiple pathways--including MAPKs--and might mask sTNFR1-specific signaling. It is important to note that the activity of classical downstream effectors of p38, activating transcription factor-2, and heat-shock protein27, seems to be independent of the induction of apoptosis by anti-TNF- agents 27 ; , which suggests multiple outcomes of p38 signaling in this context 28 ; . With low concentrations of anti-TNF- agents, the induction of apoptosis in primary monocytes may not reach statistical significance due to interindividual differences between the donors and the resulting background noise 28 ; , but it becomes obvious when a wide dose range is tested in vitro. The apoptotic effector mechanisms found for sTNFR1 and anti-TNF- antibodies correspond in detail to known signaling pathways triggered by TGF-. TGF- functions as a molecular switch.
Then last week, the agency cited the company for making false or misleading claims about the drug's risks in a print ad that briefly ran last month in usa today and other newspapers.
