Morphology of the upper esophageal sphincter or cricopharyngeus muscle revisited: a study using adult and fetal specimens
Histological examination of specimens from 22 donated elderly cadavers and 15 human fetuses revealed that the cricopharyngeus muscle (CPM) provided (1) posterior circular muscle fibers adjacent to the external aspect of the uppermost esophageal circular muscle and (2) a thin anterior sling connecting to that same muscle. Another thick lateral bundle of longitudinal muscle originated independently from a fascia covering the posterior crico‐arytenoideus muscle, extended laterally and posteriorly, and...

PCSK9 decreases during Experimental Endotoxemia
Abstract We read Rannikko et al.’s article about proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels in patients with bacteremia [1] with great interest. In these patients PCSK9 levels were increased compared to healthy controls, which is in line with other published data and probably caused by the associated inflammatory response [2]. Interestingly, within the patient cohort, patients with lower PCSK9 levels were more likely to die at day 7, 28 and 90, which was surprising, because in...

Adult paleopathology as an indicator of childhood social roles: A case study of Perthes disease in a Native Ohio female
Abstract Recently, the study of children has played an important role in the development of bioarchaeology. Particularly, researchers have long been concerned with the timing of growth and development, and with childhood morbidity and mortality. These studies have helped to drive the field of bioarchaeology forward by elucidating the effects of culture on biological variation, including health, fertility and, ultimately, human evolution. Building on this progress, recent works have called for further...

Possible neurogenic disorder in a female buried in the monastic cemetery at Ghazali (ca. 670–1270 CE), northern Sudan
Abstract During the archaeological excavations of a Christian monastic cemetery in northern Sudan, a double‐vaulted tomb was discovered housing the remains of three individuals, among them a 50+ year old female. The skeletal remains of this individual displayed significant asymmetry of the lower limbs, with apparent muscle atrophy and shortening of the left extremity, in combination with other symptoms suggestive of a neurogenic background of the condition. This paper presents a differential assessment,...

A case‐control study to assess the ability of the thymine challenge test to predict patients with severe to life threatening fluoropyrimidine‐induced gastrointestinal toxicity
Abstract Aims A previous study suggested that a thymine (THY) challenge dose could detect aberrant pharmacokinetics in known cases of fluoropyrimidine toxicity compared with healthy volunteers. The preliminary data suggested that urine sampling also could detect this aberrant disposition. The aim of this case‐control study was to assess the ability of the urinary THY challenge test to discriminate cases of severe gastrointestinal toxicity in a cohort of patients treated with 5‐FU or capecitabine....

Population pharmacokinetics of a triple‐secured fibrinogen concentrate administered to afibrinogenaemic patients: observed age‐ and body weight‐ related differences and consequences for dose adjustment in children
Abstract Aims The pharmacokinetics (PK) of a triple‐secured fibrinogen concentrate (FC) was assessed in patients ≥40 kg by non‐compartmental analysis (NCA) over a period of 14 days with multiple blood samples. Limited PK time point assessments in children lead to consideration of using Bayesian estimation for paediatric data. The objectives were (i) to define the population PK of FC in patients with afibrinogenaemia; (ii) to detect age‐ and body weight‐related differences and consequences for...

Pharmacokinetic basis for dosing high‐dose methotrexate in infants and young children with malignant brain tumors
Abstract Background No population pharmacokinetic studies of high‐dose methotrexate (HDMTX) have been conducted in infants with brain tumors, which are a vulnerable population. The aim of this study was to evaluate HDMTX disposition in these children to provide a rational basis for MTX dosing. Methods Patients received 4 monthly courses of HDMTX (5 g/m2 or 2.5 g/m2 for infants ≤ 31 days of age) as a 24‐hour infusion. Serial samples were analyzed for MTX by an enzyme immunoassay method....

Clinical trial simulations of the interaction between cannabidiol and clobazam and effect on drop‐seizure frequency
Abstract With this study we aim to test the hypothesis that the effect of cannabidiol on drop‐seizure frequency in patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome could be attributed to a drug‐drug interaction with clobazam. We performed clinical trial simulations for the effect of 20 mg/kg/day cannabidiol on drop‐seizure frequency in patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome. We assumed that patients taking 10 or 20 mg clobazam would have a 2‐ to 7‐fold increase in N‐desmethylclobazam exposure,...
