  sentences:
  - inhibitors such as antiviral, antifungal, and certain antibacterial agents. Saxagliptin
    is approved as monotherapy and in combination with biguanides, sulfonylureas,
    and Tzds. It has not been studied in combination with insulin. During clinical
    trials, mono- and combination therapy with sitagliptin resulted in an HbA 1c reduc-
    tion in the range of 0.4–0.9%. Adverse effects include an increased rate of infections
    (upper respiratory tract and urinary tract), headaches, peripheral edema (when
    combined with a Tzd), hypoglycemia (when combined with a sulfonylurea), and hypersensitivity
    reactions (urticaria, facial edema). The dose of a concurrently administered insulin
    secret- agogue or insulin may need to be lowered to prevent hypoglycemia. Linagliptin
    is the most recently introduced drug in this class and appears to have properties
    similar to sitagliptin and saxaglip- tin. It is approved for use as monotherapy
    and in combination with metformin, glimepiride, and pioglitazone. COMBINATION
    THERAPY—ORAL ANTIDIABETIC AGENTS & INJECTABLE MEDICATION Combination Therapy in
    Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Failure to maintain a good response to therapy over the
    long term owing to a progressive decrease in beta-cell mass, reduction in physical
    activity, decline in lean body mass, or increase in ectopic fat deposition remains
    a disconcerting problem in the manage- ment of type 2 diabetes. Multiple medications
    may be required to achieve glycemic control. Unless there is a contraindication,
    medical therapy should be initiated with a biguanide. If clinical failure occurs
    with metformin monotherapy, a second agent or insulin is added. The second-line
    drug can be an insulin secret- agogue, Tzd, incretin-based therapy, amylin analog,
    or a glucosi- dase inhibitor; preference is given to sulfonylureas or insulin
    because of cost, adverse effects, and safety concerns. Third-line therapy can
    include metformin, multiple other oral medications, or a noninsulin injectable
    and metformin and intensified insulin

    developing central nervous system of the fetus and young child is the most sensitive
    target organ for lead’s toxic effect. Epidemiologic studies suggest that blood
    lead concentrations even less than 5 mcg/dL may result in subclinical deficits
    in neurocog- nitive function in lead-exposed young children, with no demon- strable
    threshold for a “no effect” level. The dose response between TABLE 57–1 Toxicology

  - the body to colonize various organs in the process called metastasis. Such tumor
    stem cells thus can express clonogenic (colony-forming) capability, and they are
    characterized by chromosome abnormalities reflecting their genetic instability,
    which leads to progressive selection of subclones that can survive more readily
    in the multicellular environment of the host. This genetic instability also allows
    them to become resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The invasive and metastatic
    processes as well as a series of metabolic abnormalities associated with the cancer
    result in tumor-related symptoms and eventual death of the patient unless the
    neoplasm can be eradicated with treatment. 54 CAUSES OF CANCER The incidence,
    geographic distribution, and behavior of specific types of cancer are related
    to multiple factors, including sex, age, race, genetic predisposition, and exposure
    to environmental car- cinogens. Of these factors, environmental exposure is probably
    most important. Exposure to ionizing radiation has been well documented as a significant
    risk factor for a number of cancers, including acute leukemias, thyroid cancer,
    breast cancer, lung cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, and basal cell and squamous cell
    skin cancers. Chemical carcinogens (particularly those in tobacco smoke) as well
    as azo dyes, aflatoxins, asbestos, benzene, and radon have all been well documented
    as leading to a wide range of human cancers. Several viruses have been implicated
    in the etiology of various human cancers. For example, hepatitis B and hepatitis
    C are asso- ciated with the development of hepatocellular cancer; HIV is associated
    with Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas; human papillomavirus is associated
    with cervical cancer and head and neck cancer; and Ebstein-Barr virus is associated
    with nasopharyn- geal cancer. Expression of virus-induced neoplasia may also depend
    on additional host and environmental factors that modu- late the transformation
    process. Cellular genes are known that are homologous to the transforming genes
    of the retroviruses, a family

  - host disease after allogeneic stem cell trans- plantation. Cyclosporine has also
    proved useful in a variety of autoimmune disorders, including uveitis, rheumatoid
    arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma. Its combination with newer agents is show- ing
    considerable efficacy in clinical and experimental settings where effective and
    less toxic immunosuppression is needed. Newer for- mulations of cyclosporine have
    been developed that are improving patient compliance (smaller, better tasting
    pills) and increasing bioavailability. Tacrolimus Tacrolimus (FK 506) is an immunosuppressant
    macrolide antibi- otic produced by Streptomyces tsukubaensis. It is not chemically
    related to cyclosporine, but their mechanisms of action are similar. Both drugs
    bind to cytoplasmic peptidylprolyl isomerases that are abundant in all tissues.
    While cyclosporine binds to cyclophilin, tacrolimus binds to the immunophilin
    FK-binding protein (FKBP). Both complexes inhibit calcineurin, which is necessary
    for the activation of the T-cell-specific transcription factor NF-AT. On a weight
    basis, tacrolimus is 10–100 times more potent than cyclosporine in inhibiting
    immune responses. Tacrolimus is utilized for the same indications as cyclosporine,
    particularly in organ and stem cell transplantation. Multicenter studies in the
    USA and in Europe indicate that both graft and patient survival are similar for
    the two drugs. Tacrolimus has proved to be effective therapy for preventing rejection
    in solid-organ transplant patients even after failure of standard rejection therapy,
    including anti-T- cell antibodies. It is now considered a standard prophylactic
    agent (usually in combination with methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil) for
    graft-versus-host disease. Tacrolimus can be administered orally or intravenously.
    The half-life of the intravenous form is approximately 9–12 hours. Like cyclosporine,
    tacrolimus is metabolized primarily by P450 enzymes in the liver, and there is
    potential for drug interactions. The dosage is determined by trough blood level

  - CHAPTER 52 Antiprotozoal Drugs 923 MEFLOQUINE Mefloquine is effective therapy
    for many chloroquine-resistant strains of P falciparum and against other species.
    Although toxicity is a concern, mefloquine is one of the recommended chemopro-
    phylactic drugs for use in most malaria-endemic regions with chloroquine-resistant
    strains. Chemistry & Pharmacokinetics Mefloquine hydrochloride is a synthetic
    4-quinoline methanol that is chemically related to quinine. It can only be given
    orally because severe local irritation occurs with parenteral use. It is well
    absorbed, and peak plasma concentrations are reached in about 18 hours. Mefloquine
    is highly protein-bound, extensively distrib- uted in tissues, and eliminated
    slowly, allowing a single-dose treat- ment regimen. The terminal elimination half-life
    is about 20 days, allowing weekly dosing for chemoprophylaxis. With weekly dos-
    ing, steady-state drug levels are reached over a number of weeks; this interval
    can be shortened to 4 days by beginning a course with three consecutive daily
    doses of 250 mg, although this is not stan- dard practice. Mefloquine and acid
    metabolites of the drug are slowly excreted, mainly in the feces. The drug can
    be detected in the blood for months after the completion of therapy. Antimalarial
    Action & Resistance Mefloquine has strong blood schizonticidal activity against
    P falciparum and P vivax, but it is not active against hepatic stages or gametocytes.
    The mechanism of action of mefloquine is unknown. Sporadic resistance to mefloquine
    has been reported from many areas. At present, resistance appears to be uncommon
    except in regions of Southeast Asia with high rates of multidrug resistance (especially
    border areas of Thailand). Mefloquine resis- tance appears to be associated with
    resistance to quinine and halofantrine but not with resistance to chloroquine.

    chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Bevacizumab is
    FDA approved as a first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer in combination
    with any intravenous fluoropyrimidine-contain- ing regimen and is now also approved
    in combination with che- motherapy for metastatic non-small lung cancer and breast
    cancer. One potential advantage of this antibody is that it does not appear to
    exacerbate the toxicities typically observed with cytotoxic che- motherapy. The
    main safety concerns associated with bevacizumab include hypertension, an increased
    incidence of arterial throm- boembolic events (transient ischemic attack, stroke,
    angina, and myocardial infarction), wound healing complications, gastrointes-
    tinal perforations, and proteinuria. Sorafenib is a small molecule that inhibits
    multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), especially VEGF-R2 and VEGF-R3, platelet-derived
    growth factor-β (PDGFR-β), and raf kinase. It was initially approved for advanced
    renal cell cancer and is also approved for advanced hepatocellular cancer. Sunitinib
    is similar to sorafenib in that it inhibits multiple RTKs, although the specific
    types are somewhat different. They include PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β, VEGF-R1, VEGF-R2,
    VEGF-R3, and c-kit. It is approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell cancer
    and for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) after disease
    progression on or with intolerance to imatinib. Pazopanib is a small molecule
    that inhibits multiple RTKs, espe- cially VEGF-R2 and VEGF-R3, PDGFR-β, and raf
    kinase. This oral agent is approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell cancer.
    Sorafenib, sunitinib, and pazopanib are metabolized in the liver by the CYP3A4
    system, and elimination is primarily hepatic with excretion in feces. Each of

  sentences:
  - 774 SECTION VII Endocrine Drugs that is detected by the parathyroid gland, increases
    in serum phos- phate levels reduce the ionized calcium, leading to enhanced PTH
    secretion. Such feedback regulation is appropriate to the net effect of PTH to
    raise serum calcium and reduce serum phosphate levels. Likewise, both calcium
    and phosphate at high levels reduce the amount of 1,25(OH) 2 D produced by the
    kidney and increase the amount of 24,25(OH) 2 D produced. High serum calcium works
    directly and indirectly by reducing PTH secretion. High serum phosphate works
    directly and indirectly by increasing FGF23 levels. Since 1,25(OH) 2 D raises
    serum calcium and phosphate, whereas 24,25(OH) 2 D has less effect, such feedback
    regulation is again appropriate. 1,25(OH) 2 D directly inhibits PTH secretion
    (independent of its effect on serum calcium) by a direct inhibitory effect on
    PTH gene transcription. This pro- vides yet another negative feedback loop. In
    patients with chronic renal failure who frequently are deficient in producing
    1,25(OH) 2 D, loss of this 1,25(OH) 2 D-mediated feedback loop coupled with impaired
    phosphate excretion and intestinal calcium absorption often leads to secondary
    hyperparathyroidism. The ability of 1,25(OH) 2 D to inhibit PTH secretion directly
    is being exploited with calcitriol analogs that have less effect on serum calcium
    because of their lesser effect on intestinal calcium absorption. Such drugs are
    proving useful in the management of secondary hyperparathy- roidism accompanying
    chronic kidney disease and may be useful in selected cases of primary hyperparathyroidism.
    1,25(OH) 2 D also stimulates the production of FGF23. This completes the negative
    feedback loop in that FGF23 inhibits 1,25(OH) 2 D production while promoting hypophosphatemia,
    which in turn inhibits FGF23 production and stimulates 1,25(OH) 2 D production.

    but only equine antivenom is available for coral snake bite. The ovine antivenom
    is a Fab preparation and is less immunogenic than whole equine IgG antivenoms,
    but retains the ability to neutralize the rattlesnake venom. MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
    (MABs ) Recent advances in the ability to manipulate the genes of immu- noglobulins
    have resulted in development of a wide array of humanized and chimeric monoclonal
    antibodies directed against therapeutic targets. The only murine elements of humanized
    monoclonal antibodies are the complementarity-determining regions in the variable
    domains of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains. Complementarity-determining
    regions are primarily responsible for the antigen-binding capacity of antibodies.
    Chimeric antibodies typically contain antigen-binding murine variable regions
    and human constant regions. The following are brief descriptions of the engineered
    antibodies that have been approved by the FDA. Antitumor MABs Alemtuzumab is a
    humanized IgG 1 with a kappa chain that binds to CD52 found on normal and malignant
    B and T lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, and a small population
    of granulocytes. Currently, alemtuzumab is approved for the treatment of B-cell
    chronic lymphocytic leukemia in patients who have been treated with alkylating
    agents and have failed fludarabine therapy. Alemtuzumab appears to deplete leukemic
    and normal cells by direct antibody-dependent lysis. Patients receiving this antibody
    become lymphopenic and may also become neutro- penic, anemic, and thrombocytopenic.
    As a result patients should be closely monitored for opportunistic infections
    and hemato- logic toxicity. Bevacizumab is a humanized IgG 1 monoclonal antibody
    that binds to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and inhibits VEGF from
    binding to its receptor, especially on endothelial cells. It is an antiangiogenic
    drug that
  - rier only when the meninges are inflamed. Concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid
    are highly variable, ranging from 4% to 64% of serum levels in the setting of
    meningeal inflammation. As with all antituberculous drugs, resistance to ethambutol
    emerges rapidly when the drug is used alone. Therefore, ethambutol is always given
    in combination with other antituberculous drugs. Ethambutol hydrochloride, 15–25
    mg/kg, is usually given as a single daily dose in combination with isoniazid or
    rifampin. The higher dose is recommended for treatment of tuberculous menin- gitis.
    The dose of ethambutol is 50 mg/kg when a twice-weekly dosing schedule is used.
    Adverse Reactions Hypersensitivity to ethambutol is rare. The most common serious
    adverse event is retrobulbar neuritis, resulting in loss of visual acuity and
    red-green color blindness. This dose-related adverse effect is more likely to
    occur at dosages of 25 mg/kg/d continued for several months. At 15 mg/kg/d or
    less, visual disturbances are very rare. Periodic visual acuity testing is desirable
    if the 25 mg/kg/d dosage is used. Ethambutol is relatively contraindicated in
    chil- dren too young to permit assessment of visual acuity and red- green color
    discrimination. PYRAZINAMIDE Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a relative of nicotinamide.
    It is stable and slightly soluble in water. It is inactive at neutral pH, but
    at pH 5.5 it inhibits tubercle bacilli at concentrations of approximately 20 mcg/mL.
    The drug is taken up by macrophages and exerts its activity against mycobacteria
    residing within the acidic environ- ment of lysosomes. Pyrazinamide (PZA) N C

  - 708 SECTION VII Endocrine Drugs marked adverse effects because there is a recovery
    period between each dose. The transition to an alternate-day schedule can be made
    after the disease process is under control. It should be done gradu- ally and
    with additional supportive measures between doses. When selecting a drug for use
    in large doses, a medium- or intermediate-acting synthetic steroid with little
    mineralocorticoid effect is advisable. If possible, it should be given as a single
    morning dose. C. Special Dosage Forms Local therapy, such as topical preparations
    for skin disease, oph- thalmic forms for eye disease, intra-articular injections
    for joint disease, inhaled steroids for asthma, and hydrocortisone enemas for
    ulcerative colitis, provides a means of delivering large amounts of steroid to
    the diseased tissue with reduced systemic effects. Beclomethasone dipropionate,
    and several other glucocorti- coids—primarily budesonide, flunisolide, and mometasone
    furoate, administered as aerosols—have been found to be extremely useful in the
    treatment of asthma (see Chapter 20 ). Beclomethasone dipropionate, triamcinolone
    acetonide, budes- onide, flunisolide, and mometasone furoate are available as
    nasal sprays for the topical treatment of allergic rhinitis. They are effec- tive
    at doses (one or two sprays one, two, or three times daily) that in most patients
    result in plasma levels that are too low to influ- ence adrenal function or have
    any other systemic effects. Corticosteroids incorporated in ointments, creams,
    lotions, and sprays are used extensively in dermatology. These preparations are
    discussed in more detail in Chapter 61 . MINERALOCORTICOIDS (ALDOSTERONE, DEOXYCORTICOSTERONE,
    FLUDROCORTISONE) The most important mineralocorticoid in humans is aldosterone.

    '708 SECTION VII Endocrine Drugs marked adverse effects because there is a recovery period between each dose. The transition to an alternate-day schedule can be made after the disease process is under control. It should be done gradu- ally and with additional supportive measures between doses. When selecting a drug for use in large doses, a medium- or intermediate-acting synthetic steroid with little mineralocorticoid effect is advisable. If possible, it should be given as a single morning dose. C. Special Dosage Forms Local therapy, such as topical preparations for skin disease, oph- thalmic forms for eye disease, intra-articular injections for joint disease, inhaled steroids for asthma, and hydrocortisone enemas for ulcerative colitis, provides a means of delivering large amounts of steroid to the diseased tissue with reduced systemic effects. Beclomethasone dipropionate, and several other glucocorti- coids—primarily budesonide, flunisolide, and mometasone furoate, administered as aerosols—have been found to be extremely useful in the treatment of asthma (see Chapter 20 ). Beclomethasone dipropionate, triamcinolone acetonide, budes- onide, flunisolide, and mometasone furoate are available as nasal sprays for the topical treatment of allergic rhinitis. They are effec- tive at doses (one or two sprays one, two, or three times daily) that in most patients result in plasma levels that are too low to influ- ence adrenal function or have any other systemic effects. Corticosteroids incorporated in ointments, creams, lotions, and sprays are used extensively in dermatology. These preparations are discussed in more detail in Chapter 61 . MINERALOCORTICOIDS (ALDOSTERONE, DEOXYCORTICOSTERONE, FLUDROCORTISONE) The most important mineralocorticoid in humans is aldosterone. However, small amounts of deoxycorticosterone (DOC) are also formed and released. Although the amount is normally insignifi- cant, DOC was of some importance therapeut',

We now lower bound the “final” potential Φ(T +1) using the number of mistakes of i. We then upper bound it in terms of our number of mistakes. Lower bound: The weight of expert i goes down by a factor (1 −ε) for each mistake i does. As the initial weight of i is 1, Φ(T +1) = X j∈[N] w(T +1) j ≥w(T +1) i = (1 −ε)# of i’s mistakes . Upper bound: Every time WM errs, at least half the weight of the experts was wrong (since weighted majority was wrong). These weights are then decreased by (1 −ε). It follows that the potential goes down by at least a factor (1 −ε/2) every time WM errs. And so Φ(T +1) ≤Φ(1) · (1 −ε/2)# of WM mistakes = N · (1 −ε/2)# of WM mistakes , where for the equality we used that Φ(1) = N since each expert was initialized with a weight of 1.

In dosages of 45 mg/m 2 /d or more of hydrocortisone or its equivalent, growth retardation occurs in children. Medium-, intermediate-, and long-acting glucocorticoids have greater growth-suppressing potency than the natural steroid at equivalent doses. When given in larger than physiologic amounts, steroids such as cortisone and hydrocortisone, which have mineralocorticoid effects in addition to glucocorticoid effects, cause some sodium and fluid retention and loss of potassium. In patients with normal cardiovas- cular and renal function, this leads to a hypokalemic, hypochloremic alkalosis and eventually to a rise in blood pressure. In patients with hypoproteinemia, renal disease, or liver disease, edema may also occur. In patients with heart disease, even small degrees of sodium retention may lead to heart failure.

If the dosage is reduced too rapidly in patients receiving gluco- corticoids for a certain disorder, the symptoms of the disorder may reappear or increase in intensity. However, patients without an underlying disorder (eg, patients cured surgically of Cushing’s disease) also develop symptoms with rapid reductions in cortico- steroid levels. These symptoms include anorexia, nausea or vomit- ing, weight loss, lethargy, headache, fever, joint or muscle pain, and postural hypotension. Although many of these symptoms may reflect true glucocorticoid deficiency, they may also occur in the presence of normal or even elevated plasma cortisol levels, sug- gesting glucocorticoid dependence.

A. ACTH versus Adrenocortical Steroids In patients with normal adrenals, ACTH was used in the past to induce the endogenous production of cortisol to obtain similar effects. However, except when an increase in androgens is desir- able, the use of ACTH as a therapeutic agent has been abandoned. Instances in which ACTH was claimed to be more effective than glucocorticoids were probably due to the administration of smaller amounts of corticosteroids than were produced by the dosage of ACTH. B. Dosage In determining the dosage regimen to be used, the physician must consider the seriousness of the disease, the amount of drug likely to be required to obtain the desired effect, and the duration of therapy. In some diseases, the amount required for maintenance of the desired therapeutic effect is less than the dose needed to obtain the initial effect, and the lowest possible dosage for th...</code> |
