Intranasal nalbuphine could be a safe, efficacious and non-invasive alternative to parenteral pain medication in infants. We aimed to assess pharmacokinetics (PK) and tolerability of intranasal and in...
Prospective open-label study including infants 1-3 months of age admitted to the emergency department, receiving nalbuphine for procedural pain management. Patients were alternately allocated to a sin...
Out of 52 study subjects receiving nalbuphine, 31 were eligible for NCA (11 intravenous, 20 intranasal). Median AUC...
This is the first study investigating intranasal administration of nalbuphine in infants suggesting an intranasal bioavailability close to 50%. Non-invasive intranasal application was well tolerated. ...

Iron plays an important role in the development of perihematomal edema (PHE) in the setting of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Cerebral iron is increased via direct hemoglobin release in ICH, and seve...
A 46-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with acute moderate-to-severe TBI. Her head computed tomography (CT) scan showed bifrontal hemorrhagic contusions with mild PHE. She was started on hyp...
We believe this is the first report of exacerbating PHE accompanied by clinical decline after intravenous iron administration in the setting of acute hemorrhagic brain contusions. Though the effects o...
To assess the feasibility of a periprocedural decision on the administration of intravenous contrast media in MRI for endometriosis and to evaluate the frequency and reasons of contrast administration...
In this retrospective, descriptive cross-sectional single-center study all patients were included, who received a pelvic MRI for evaluation of endometriosis between April 2021 and February 2023. Frequ...
303 consecutive patients (mean age, 33.4 years +/- 8.3 [standard deviation]) were evaluated. Periprocedural decision on the administration of intravenous contrast media had been made in all cases. For...
A periprocedural decision on the administration of contrast media in MRI for endometriosis is feasible with little effort. It allows the administration of contrast media to be avoided in most cases. I...
Procedures to prepare and infuse intravenous drugs are poorly documented....
To determinate the optimal mode of hydroxocobalamin administration in children in emergency care....
We identified three modes of administration: (1) connect infusion tubing to the vial, start the infusion and interrupt it when the desired dose has been delivered; (2) remove from the vial the volume ...
25 nurses performed each of these three procedures for children weighting 15 and 30 kg. Speed and precision were primary end-points; ease, safety and drug economy were secondary end-points....
Mode 3 was the fastest (42[37-61] sec) followed by modes 1 and 2 (p < 0.05). Mode 3 was the most precise (100[100-100]%) followed by modes 1 and 2 (p = 0.001). Mode 3 was the easiest (10.0[9.0-10.0]) ...
Taking the required volume from the vial and infuse directly was the fastest, the most precise, the easiest and most economical mode of administration. It should be recommended....
Median duration of daratumumab (DARA) administration for treatment of multiple myeloma is 3-7 hours for the intravenous formulation (DARA IV) and 3-5 minutes for the subcutaneous formulation (DARA SC)...
Time-based measurements were extracted using a scheduling/pharmacy software program that tracked patient movement through appointments for patients initiating DARA in Mayo Clinic infusion centers from...
Median total clinic times were 2.7-3.0 hours shorter for DARA SC versus DARA IV. Median clinic times were highest at dose 1 and decreased with subsequent doses. Median total chair times were 2.7-2.8 h...
Reduced clinic times were observed with DARA SC, indicating that use of DARA SC as a treatment option results in time savings that may free clinic resources. Furthermore, novel methods of electronic h...
Guidelines recommend an analgesia-first strategy for sedation during mechanical ventilation, but associations between opioids provided during mechanical ventilation and posthospitalization opioid-rela...
To evaluate associations between an intravenous opioid dose received during mechanical ventilation and postdischarge opioid-related outcomes in medical (nonsurgical) patients....
This retrospective cohort study evaluated adults receiving mechanical ventilation lasting 24 hours or more for acute respiratory failure and surviving hospitalization. Participants from 21 Kaiser Perm...
Terciles of median daily intravenous fentanyl equivalents during mechanical ventilation....
The primary outcome was the first filled opioid prescription in 1 year after discharge. Secondary outcomes included persistent opioid use and opioid-associated complications. Secondary analyses tested...
The study included 6746 patients across 21 hospitals (median age, 67 years [IQR, 57-76 years]; 53.0% male). Of the participants, 3114 (46.2%) filled an opioid prescription in the year prior to admissi...
In this retrospective cohort study of patients receiving mechanical ventilation, opioids administered during mechanical ventilation were associated with opioid prescriptions following hospital dischar...
Contrast-associated AKI may result in higher morbidity and mortality. Intravenous fluid administration remains the mainstay for prevention. There is a lack of consensus on the optimal administration s...
We conducted a secondary analysis of 4671 PRESERVE participants who underwent angiographic procedures. Although fluid type was randomized, strategy of administration was at the discretion of the clini...
The mean (SD) age was 70 (8) years, 94% of participants were male, and median (interquartile range) eGFR was 60 (41-60) ml/min per 1.73 m...
We found that administration of a total volume of 1000 ml, starting at least 1 hour before contrast injection and continuing postcontrast for a total of 6 hours, is associated with a similar risk of a...
The metabolism of lufotrelvir, a novel phosphate prodrug of PF-00835231 for the treatment of COVID-19, was evaluated in healthy human volunteers and clinical trial participants with COVID-19 following...
Vedolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody, indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD), that specifically binds to the α4β7 integr...
Sixteen participants received a single IV infusion of vedolizumab (300 mg). Blood samples were collected to measure vedolizumab serum concentrations. The safety of all subjects was monitored....
The pharmacokinetic analysis showed that vedolizumab reached the maximum observed serum concentration (C...
Vedolizumab was well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects when administered as a single-dose IV 300 mg infusion. In this study, the rate of AVA positivity was 37.5%, which occurred near the end of th...
