Authors: Vijayakumar Smrithi , Lee V Vien , Leong Qiao Ying , Hong Soo Jung , Blasiak Agata , Ho Dean
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Physicians play a key role in integrating new clinical technology into care practices through user feedback and growth propositions to developers of the technology. As physicians are stakeholders involved through the technology iteration process, understanding their roles as users can provide nuanced insights into the workings of these technologies that are being explored. Therefore, understanding physicians’ perceptions can be critical toward clinical validation, implementation, and downstream adoption. Given the increasing prevalence of clinical decision support systems (CDSSs), there remains a need to gain an in-depth understanding of physicians’ perceptions and expectations toward their downstream implementation. This paper explores physicians’ perceptions of integrating CURATE.AI, a novel artificial intelligence (AI)–based and clinical stage personalized dosing CDSSs, into clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to understand physicians’ perspectives of integrating CURATE.AI for clinical work and to gather insights on considerations of the implementation of AI-based CDSS tools.

METHODS

A total of 12 participants completed semistructured interviews examining their knowledge, experience, attitudes, risks, and future course of the personalized combination therapy dosing platform, CURATE.AI. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded manually. The data were thematically analyzed.

RESULTS

Overall, 3 broad themes and 9 subthemes were identified through thematic analysis. The themes covered considerations that physicians perceived as significant across various stages of new technology development, including trial, clinical implementation, and mass adoption.

CONCLUSIONS

The study laid out the various ways physicians interpreted an AI-based personalized dosing CDSS, CURATE.AI, for their clinical practice. The research pointed out that physicians’ expectations during the different stages of technology exploration can be nuanced and layered with expectations of implementation that are relevant for technology developers and researchers.

Authors: Freund Johanna , Smit Filip , Lehr Dirk , Zarski Anna-Carlotta , Berking Matthias , Riper Heleen , Funk Burkhardt , Ebert David Daniel , Buntrock Claudia
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Stress is highly prevalent and known to be a risk factor for a wide range of physical and mental disorders. The effectiveness of digital stress management interventions has been confirmed; however, research on its economic merits is still limited.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and cost-benefit of a universal digital stress management intervention for employees compared with a waitlist control condition within a time horizon of 6 months.

METHODS

Recruitment was directed at the German working population. A sample of 396 employees was randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=198) or the waitlist control condition (WLC) group (n=198). The digital stress management intervention included 7 sessions plus 1 booster session, which was offered without therapeutic guidance. Health service use, patient and family expenditures, and productivity losses were self-assessed and used for costing from a societal and an employer’s perspective. Costs were related to symptom-free status (PSS-10 [Perceived Stress Scale] score 2 SDs below the study population baseline mean) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained. The sampling error was handled using nonparametric bootstrapping.

RESULTS

From a societal perspective, the digital intervention was likely to be dominant compared with WLC, with a 56% probability of being cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) of €0 per symptom-free person gained. At the same WTP threshold, the digital intervention had a probability of 55% being cost-effective per QALY gained relative to the WLC. This probability increased to 80% at a societal WTP of €20,000 per QALY gained. Taking the employer’s perspective, the digital intervention showed a probability of a positive return on investment of 78%.

CONCLUSIONS

Digital preventive stress management for employees appears to be cost-effective societally and provides a favorable return on investment for employers.

Behavior study of the steel plate girder with a cellular honeycomb web
Authors: AMMASH Haider K. , SHAFFAF Noora N.
Published: April 2023

Based on the experimental test results of the authors, this investigation is concerned with the finite element analysis to examine and compare the load values and failure modes of the authors’ results. This research was conducted using the Abaqus software. The experimental work included the fabrication of twelve plate girders with honeycomb and flat web plate corrugation patterns, which were then tested under a single concentrated load at the midspan. According to the corrugation dimension or outer honeycomb web thickness, the honeycomb steel plate web girder is divided into three groups (60 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm). The specimens also involved plate girders with a flat web. The specimens were created with three lengths (600 mm, 1,200 mm and 1,800 mm). The Abaqus software was used in finite element models to simulate the concentrated load. The numerical results demonstrated that the 60 mm thick honeycomb web provides a greater load-bearing capacity and shear strength than other girders. The 20 mm honeycomb corrugation on the steel plate girder indicates the increased and improved shear resistance. The conclusion was that as the width of the corrugation increased, so did the steel web’s ultimate load and shear strength, resulting in a positive relationship between the critical shear buckling load of the web and the moment of inertia at the strong axis. When the dimension of the corrugation increases, the moment of inertia of the Y axis (Iy) decreases; thus, the plate girder will fail with a less critical buckling load (Pcr). Also, it can be concluded that as the steel plate thickness of the honeycomb web increases, the shear resistance increases as well. However, the spacing between the intermediate stiffener or the horizontal spacing of the web panel can enhance the shear resistance of honeycomb web girder if it was decreased due to increasing the action of tension field force that resists the diagonal tension developed at the web panel by the applied midspan concentrated force.

Authors: Robertson Thomas S , Pijls Bart G , Munn Zachary , Solomon L Bogdan , Nelissen Rob G H H , Callary Stuart A
Published: April 2023

Background and purpose: Assessing peri-acetabular bone quality is valuable for optimizing the outcomes of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) as preservation of good quality bone stock likely affects implant stability. The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of peri-acetabular bone mineral density (BMD) changes over time measured using quantitative computer tomography (CT) and, second, to investigate the influence of age, sex, and fixation on the change in BMD over time.Methods: A systematic search of Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases identified 19 studies that measured BMD using CT following THA. The regions of interest (ROI), reporting of BMD results, and scan protocols were extracted. A meta-analysis of BMD was performed on 12 studies that reported measurements immediately postoperatively and at follow-up.Results: The meta-analysis determined that periacetabular BMD around both cemented and uncemented components decreases over time. The amount of BMD loss increased relative to proximity of the acetabular component. There was a greater decrease in cortical BMD over time in females and cancellous BMD for young patients of any sex.Conclusion: Peri-acetabular BMD decreases at different rates relative to its proximity to the acetabular component. Cancellous BMD decreases more in young patients and cortical bone decreases more in females. Standardized reporting parameters and suggested ROI to measure peri-acetabular BMD are proposed, to enable comparison between implant and patient variables in the future.
CT-based migration analysis is more precise than radiostereometric analysis for tibial implants: a phantom study on a porcine cadaver
Authors: Engseth Lars H W , Schulz Anselm , Pripp Are H , Röhrl Stephan M H , Øhrn Frank-David
Published: April 2023

Background and purpose: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is the gold standard for migration analysis, but computed tomography analysis methods (CTRSA) have shown comparable results in other joints. We attempted to validate precision for CT compared with RSA for a tibial implant.Material and methods: RSA and CT were performed on a porcine knee with a tibial implant. Marker-based RSA, model-based RSA (MBRSA), and CT scans from 2 different manufacturers were compared. CT analysis was performed by 2 raters for reliability evaluation.Results: 21 double examinations for precision measurements for RSA and CT-based Micromotion Analysis (CTMA) were analysed. Mean (95% confidence interval) precision data for maximum total point motion (MTPM) using marker-based RSA was 0.45 (0.19–0.70) and 0.58 (0.20–0.96) using MBRSA (F-statistic 0.44 [95% CI 0.18–1.1], p = 0.07). Precision data for total translation (TT) for CTMA was 0.08 (0.03–0.12) for the GE scanner and 0.11 (0.04–0.19) for the Siemens scanner (F-statistic 0.37 [0.15–0.91], p = 0.03). When comparing the aforementioned precision for both RSA methods with both CTMA analyses, CTMA was more precise (p < 0.001). The same pattern was seen for other translations and migrations. Mean effective radiation doses were 0.005 mSv (RSA) (0.0048–0.0050) and 0.08 mSv (CT) (0.078–0.080) (p < 0.001). Intra- and interrater reliability were 0.79 (0.75–0.82) and 0.77 (0.72–0.82), respectively.Conclusion: CTMA is more precise than RSA for migration analysis of a tibial implant, has overall good intra- and interrater reliability but higher effective radiation doses in a porcine cadaver.
Relationship Between Heart Rate and Perceived Exertion in Neuromuscular Diseases: How do Laboratory-Based Exercise Testing Results Translate to Home-Based Aerobic Training Sessions?
Authors: Voorn Eric L. , Oorschot Sander , Veneman Tim , Raijmakers Bart , Nollet Frans
Published: April 2023

Objective: To examine the heart rate-perceived exertion relationship between maximal exercise testing and home-based aerobic training in neuromuscular diseases.Design: Multicentre randomized controlled trial, intervention group data.Participants: Individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (n = 17), post-polio syndrome (n = 7) or other neuromuscular diseases (n = 6).Methods: Participants followed a 4-month, homebased aerobic training programme guided by heart rate. Heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion (6–20 Borg Scale) were assessed for each minute during a maximal exercise test, and at the end of each exercise interval and recovery period during training. Heart rate and corresponding ratings of perceived exertion values of individual participants during training were visualized using plots, together with the exercise testing linear regression line between heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion.Results: High correlation coefficients (i.e. > 0.70) were found between heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion, in all participants during testing (n = 30), and in 57% of the participants during training. Based on the plots the following distribution was found; participants reporting lower (n = 12), similar (n = 10), or higher (n = 8) ratings of perceived exertion values for corresponding heart rates during training compared with testing.Conclusion: Most participants had a different perception of effort for corresponding heart rates during training in comparison with exercise testing. Healthcare professionals should be aware that this may imply under- and over-training.
LAY ABSTRACTAerobic training, also called endurance training, is usually guided by target heart rate ranges based on exercise testing results. It is not known how the perception of effort for the same heart rate during a training programme relates to the perceived effort during exercise testing in people with neuromuscular diseases. This is important information for healthcare professionals. For instance, if patients report a higher perceived effort during training, this may explain their difficulties reaching target heart rate ranges. Maximal exercise testing and training data from 30 individuals with neuromuscular diseases were analysed. Most participants reported lower (10 participants) or higher (8 participants) perceived effort values for similar heart rates during training compared with exercise testing. Healthcare professionals in neuromuscular rehabilitation should be aware that this may indicate too low loads in some individuals and too high loads in others. This requires evaluation in further research.
Review Article on Maintenance of Oral Health through Ayurveda
Authors: L Lakshmanan
Published: April 2023

Oral diseases are becoming more prevalent now a days and can pose a serious health risk, increasing economic burden and reducing the quality of life among people worldwide. The holistic science of Ayurveda has gained global attention in the recent years as oral diseases are largely preventable through Ayurveda routines. Shalakya Tantra is a branch of Ayurveda which deals with the treatment of organs located above shoulders. Although dentistry is not explained as a separate subject in Ayurveda, it is included under Shalakya Tantra. There are nine openings of physical body and oral cavity is one among them. Ayurveda suggests frequent and regular cleaning of these openings. Digestion process begins in the mouth, oral cavity being the chief entrance, its hygiene is important. Oral cavity includes teeth, gingiva and other supporting structures of the tooth, palate, throat, oral mucosa and lips. The traditional knowledge of Ayurveda to prevent and treat diseases was passed by word of mouth from generation to generation over the centuries and is accessible to common man. Preventive aspects through diet and lifestyle modifications have been emphasized in Ayurveda. Ayurveda oral hygiene techniques are safe, effective, economical, easily available, usually without side effects and has long lasting results. They are self-care methods which can be carried out at home easily.

Authors: KW Blaise
Published: April 2023

In sub-Saharan Africa, the bark of Vitellaria paradoxa C.F. Gaertn (Sapotaceae), commonly known as Karité, is used in the treatment of many skin and digestive ailments. In order to justify this traditional use, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the method of preparation, the antifungal activity, the chemical composition and the acute toxicity of the bark of Vitellaria paradoxa on Candida albicans. Total aqueous (LeA) and 70% ethanolic (LeE) extracts of the bark of Vitellaria paradoxa were prepared and tested in vitro. Ethanolic extract (LeE) showed the highest yield (55.5%) and was found to be more effective on the growth of Candida albicans with a minimum fungicidal concentration (CMF) value of 1.56 ± 0.02 mg / ml and a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.39 ± 0.21 mg / ml, certainly justifying the use of the plant in traditional medicine. At the end of the acute toxicity assessment test, the LD50 was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg / Kg orally. The phytochemical screening of the various extracts showed the presence of chemical compounds which justify their antifungal activities by the use of Vitellaria paradoxa. This work has provided a scientific basis for the use of Vitellaria paradoxa in traditional pharmacopoeia, particularly in the treatment of fungal pathologies.

Method of information reduction with maintaining measurement accuracy in field-level networks of data collection systems for technological parameters in metallurgical industry3F
Authors: Budkov Sergey
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop a new method of information reduction in data collection systems

of technological parameters implemented on the basis of field-level networks based on the ANSI/TIA/EIA-485 standard to reduce the amount of redundant information generated by secondary converters of measuring instruments based on the readings of primary converters transported in data transmission networks and stored in devices storage. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use a new method of processing initial data at the sampling stage using modified firmware of the built-in microcomputer of the secondary converter of the measuring device. The proposed method is based on selecting such a number of discrete values (reference points) from a set of initial discrete quantities, relative to which it is possible to describe the remaining values in some mathematical way with control of the accuracy of restoring values by calculation at each step, followed by discarding the elements of the series that are not reference points (reduction). In order to verify the described method, there has been developed a way to reduce the redundancy information in field-level networks with maintaining the required measurement accuracy based on linear approximation. The software implementation of the developed way has shown its applicability for data reduction in real-time systems in the stream of conversion of discrete quantities of the original signal. The developed way based on the proposed method provides a significant reduction in the amount of redundant information, the greater the more uniform the changes in the values of the original series. This makes it possible to reduce the number of stored discrete values, reduce the load on network communications of real-time systems, and provide the ability to poll more devices connected to the bus topology field-level network without changing the data exchange rate.
ХУДОЖНЯ РЕЦЕПЦІЯ ОБРАЗІВ ЯЗИЧНИЦЬКИХ БОГІВ ТА ПЕРЕОСМИСЛЕННЯ МАГІЧНИХ РИТУАЛІВ У ПОВІСТІ ДОКІЇ ГУМЕННОЇ «НЕБЕСНИЙ ЗМІЙ»
Authors: Бура Ірина
Published: April 2023

У статті проаналізовано міфологічні мотиви повісті Докії Гуменної «Небесний змій»: розглянуто спе- цифіку переосмислення образів язичницьких богів (Сварога, Дажбога, Перуна, Юрая), простежено процес трансфор- мації їх семантики та пов’язані з ними магічні ритуали та образи-символи (сонце, дзеркало, бик, кінь). Фольклорні джерела повісті «Небесний змій» є мало дослідженими, що зумовлює актуальність цієї статті. Мета статті – вивчити специфіку художньої рецепції образів язичницьких богів, астральних культів та тотемних уявлень у повісті «Небесний змій». Шляхом зіставлення міфологічних мотивів повісті із науковими розвідками українських фольклористів про первісні світоглядні системи праслов’ян з’ясовано, що Докія Гуменна намагалася максимально точно відтворити на- родні уявлення про Всесвіт та богів у «Небесному змії». Письменниця створила справжній калейдоскоп ритуального побуту племен, які населяли територію сучасної України та Євразії у ІІІ – ІІ тисячоліттях до н.е. Особливе місце в по- вісті відводиться племені сварожичів, які проживали в Північному Причорномор’ї. Докія Гуменна докладно описала побут та звичаї цього племені, і на їх прикладі показала поступовий перехід від матріархату до патріархату, занепад культу богині-матері. Зокрема, перехід до патріархату у повісті «Небесний змій» зображений як ритуальне дійство, яке здійснює найшановніша жриця племені, котра сприймалася як речниця давньої богині й володіла найбільшою магією. Через посвячення вождь Сварга починає ототожнюватися з богом Сварогом. Згідно з задумом письменниці, читач має змогу побачити релікти тотемізму, культу предків та культу сонця, які є невід’ємною частиною життя сварожичів. Докія Гуменна доповнила захоплюючу сюжетну лінію повісті про пригоди молодого сварожича Яра розлогими спо- стереженнями над трансформацією родових стосунків у племені сварожичів, пов’язала становлення народних уявлень про богів з віруваннями язичників у тварин-тотемів (бик, кінь) та з культом предків (богиня-мати, батько-бог-Сварог). Зміна влади в племені сварожичів, збільшення ролі чоловіка-батька стає передумовою трансформації родинних та календарних обрядів. Зокрема, Д. Гуменна близько до етнографічних джерел відтворює атмосферу зимового циклу календарної обрядовості язичників, а саме – свято народження нового сонця (25 грудня), календарні свята, під час яких вшановувалися Юрій/Юрай, Велес, Дажбог.

Стаття є частиною дослідницького проєкту «Інтимно-любовні дискурси в українській літературній шевченкіані». Така тематика досі ще не ставала предметом студіювання в різножанрових творах про Тараса Шевченка. У низці шевченкознавчих праць констатована свідома неувага дослідників до названої проблематики задля ширшого показу соціального буття українського генія. Тут зауважено, що така практика призводила до збіднення і спрощення образу Шевченка, в реальному житті якого стосунки з жінками відігравали неабияку роль. У розвідці предметом до- слідження є інтерпретації у творах шевченківської біографіки історії інтимних взаємин молодого Тараса з польською дівчиною Ядвігою під час його перебування у Вільно. Наголошено, що збережені надто скупі фактологічні відомості про аналізовану історію зумовили активне застосування письменниками в життєписних творах домислово-вимисло- вих операцій, посилення їх мистецької ролі в текстах. Звернуто увагу на типологічні збіжності й розбіжності різних семантичних рис обох героїв у творах різних авторів, особливо ‒ образу Ядвіги, її «біографії» в повістях і романах. Об’єктами студіювання стали життєписні твори про Шевченка 1930-2010-х років, зокрема повісті й романи «Тарасик» Г. Хоткевича, «Син-колос» Д. Косарика. «Тарасові шляхи» О. Іваненко, «Поетова молодість» Л. Смілянського, «Тарасові страсті» З. Легкого та ін. Задля простеження міжлітературних паралелей залучено роман «Українські ночі…» поляка Є. Єнджеєвича та повість «Провесінь над Вілією» росіянина Г. Метельського. Спостережено еволюційні тен- денції в інтерпретуванні зазначених взаємин залежно від жанрово-стильових характеристик творів і міри творчої сво- боди письменників. Текст уміщує інформацію про структурні риси художньо-біографічних творів ‒ родо-жанрові, хронотопні, явища документальності.
ПЕРЕКЛАДИ ПЕТРА СКУНЦЯ З УГОРСЬКОЇ МОВИ (на матеріалі перекладів поезії Вілмоша Ковача)
Authors: Талабірчук Оксана
Published: April 2023

Петро Миколайович Скунць належить до когорти тих поетів, творчий талант яких реалізувався і в сфері художнього перекладу. Перекладацькою діяльністю почав займатися з початку 60-х рр. ХХ ст. З-під його пера зʼявилися переклади з 15 різних мов, серед яких чільне місце займають і переклади з угорської мови (В. Ковач, Б. Салаї, З. Дьорке, А. Фодор, Й. Сервац, З. Зелк). Перекладацька спадщина митця перебуває в полі зору літературознавців О. Ігнатович та П. Іванишина, однак детального аналізу перекладів саме з угорської мови здійснено ще не було.

Мета статті полягає в аналізі перекладів поезій закарпатського угорськомовного поета В. Ковача. У розвідці охарактеризовано основні риси творчої діяльності та постаті В. Ковача в контексті літературного процесу Закарпаття 60-70-х рр. ХХ ст.; простежено особливості та труднощі перекладу угорських поезій українською; проаналізовано перекладацькі трансформації, які застосував П. Скунць як перекладач. Обʼєктом дослідження стали вірші «Тиша», «Я собі її хочу, Землю», «Де ти, Єво?» в оригіналі та перекладі. Актуальність статті пояснюється відсутністю комплексно- го дослідження зазначених перекладів, що забезпечує і новизну перекладознавчого аналізу, здійсненого в цій праці.

П. Скунць зумів ввійти у «поетичний світ» автора оригіналу, відчути його інтенції, та практично став ним, при- йнявши його манеру і мову. У перекладі поезії «Тиша» за допомогою різних перекладацьких трансформацій (декомп- ресії, компресії) П. Скунцю вдалося перекласти т. зв. «живі», сповнені емоцій метафори природньо, не втрачаючи їх- ньої образності. У перекладі поезії філософського спрямування «Я собі її хочу, Землю» П. Скунць зберігає всі особли- вості поезії-оригіналу та підбирає влучні еквіваленти. Перекладач вдається до упущень, заміни та перестановок, однак такі дії є вмотивованими, бо змістовий та формальний складник поезії суголосний з оригіналом. Частими є і прийоми тотожного перекладу. У перекладі поезії «Де ти, Єво?» П. Скунць зберігає парне римування та навіть наближається до відтворення особливостей угорської системи віршування. Перекладач настільки тонко відчуває тексти угорськомовних поезій, що йому вдається у перекладах викликати в читача той самий естетичний вплив, який викликають й оригінали.

Vietnam en 2022: ¿hacia la adaptabilidad asertiva?
Authors: León de la Rosa Raquel Isamara
Published: April 2023

Este informe pretende dar continuidad al escrito en el anuario anterior. Para esto se rescatan los acontecimientos más importantes a nivel político, económico y las principales acciones del gobierno vietnamita en su vinculación internacional, principalmente con China y Estados Unidos. La revisión parte de la premisa de que los ajustes realizados por el gobierno en 2021 y 2022, así como el contexto regional, principalmente la política cero covid-19 de China, han permitido que Vietnam tenga un año de bonanza económica mediante la manufactura para la exportación. Resultado de esto es la proyección que lanza el Fondo Monetario Internacional de un crecimiento de 7% para 2022, siendo el más alto de todo el Indo-pacífico. En las conclusiones se presentan los resultados de esta comparativa de dos años, a modo de determinar si las decisiones gubernamentales han sido asertivas o esta bonanza es parte de un efecto contextual frente a las condiciones chinas y la guerra rusoucraniana.
Possible gastrointestinal tract involvement in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis identified by echnitium-99m pyrophosphate scan
Authors: Chen Juncheng , Tang Gongshun
Published: April 2023

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) can be identified through technetium-99m pyrophosphate (Tc-99m PYP) scintigraphy. Gastrointestinal involvement in systemic transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR-GI) is typically identified through the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms or by screening via endoscopy and/or rectal biopsy. Currently, there is no noninvasive imaging modality for identifying gastrointestinal amyloidosis. In this study, we present a case of a 20-year-old Chinese woman with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) and Phe64Ser mutation. The patient presented with persistent nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and constipation, and poor appetite for 2 years. Tc-99m PYP imaging revealed possible gastrointestinal tract images that coincided with the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms, suggesting the usefulness of Tc-99m PYP scintigraphy as a diagnostic tool for identifying ATTR-GI.
Oral administration of an extended-release formulation of nitrofurantoin results in high concentrations in the urine of dogs

OBJECTIVE

Sporadic bacterial cystitis in both dogs and humans is often caused by Escherichia coli. In humans, nitrofurantoin is a first-line antimicrobial for the treatment of bacterial cystitis but in dogs a lack of available data may be part of the reason it is only recommended as a second-line treatment. The objective of this preliminary study was to determine the plasma pharmacokinetics and urine concentrations of nitrofurantoin monohydrate-macrocrystalline in dogs.

ANIMALS

8 healthy female hound dogs.

PROCEDURES

From July 26 to July 28, 2021, dogs received a single oral dose of nitrofurantoin monohydrate-macrocrystalline 100 mg with food. Blood and urine were collected at predetermined times. Nitrofurantoin concentrations were assayed by UPLC-MS/MS and plasma data were analyzed using noncompartmental methods.

RESULTS

Plasma concentrations were low for all dogs with a mean ± SD maximum concentration (Cmax) of 0.242 ± 0.098 μg/mL (range, 0.14 to 0.42 µg/mL) occurring between 2 and 24 hours. Urine concentrations were manyfold higher than for plasma. Cmax in urine was 134 ± 54 µg/mL (range, 49.1 to 218 µg/mL) occurring between 6 and 36 hours. As seen in other species, nitrofurantoin concentrated in urine with concentrations being 500 times higher than the concentration in plasma.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that nitrofurantoin monohydrate-macrocrystalline formulation of nitrofurantoin should be effective in treating bacterial cystitis caused by susceptible uropathogens.
