Population pharmacokinetic modelling of amoxicillin in human breast milk—A contribution from the ConcePTION project

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amoxicillin, a widely used β‐lactam antibiotic, requires improved pharmacokinetic characterization during breastfeeding. This study used a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) approach to model amoxicillin concentrations in breast milk, identify variability sources and estimate infant exposure, applying worst‐case scenarios.

Helping small babies survive: an evaluation of facility-based Kangaroo Mother Care implementation progress in Uganda

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Prematurity is the leading cause of newborn death in Uganda, accounting for 38% of the nation's 39,000 annual newborn deaths. Kangaroo mother care is a high-impact; cost-effective intervention that has been prioritized in policy in Uganda ...

The immune consequences of preterm birth

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Preterm birth occurs in 11% of live births globally and accounts for 35% of all newborn deaths. Preterm newborns have immature immune systems, with reduced innate and adaptive immunity; their immune systems may be further compromised by various factors ...

Maternal Cardiovascular Impairment in Pregnancies Complicated by Severe Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]

, 2012
—Fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia are both conditions of placental etiology and associated to increased risk for the long-term development of cardiovascular disease in the mother. At presentation, preeclampsia is associated with maternal global

Tacrolimus exposure during pregnancy in kidney and liver transplantation recipients: A comparison between whole blood and plasma concentration‐to‐dose ratios

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Tacrolimus monitoring is generally performed in whole blood (WB). Most (>85%) of circulating tacrolimus is bound to red blood cells. During pregnancy, WB monitoring might be suboptimal because of physiological changes including increased plasma volume and decreased haematocrit.

Association of various postnatal risk factors with progression of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm neonates: A case-control study

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a complex disease of the developing retinal vasculature in infants born prematurely and is the leading preventable cause of childhood blindness worldwide. Multiple factors play a significant role in the pathogenesis of

Beyond the label: Rethinking off‐label drug use in paediatrics. Towards a scientifically grounded and safer future for paediatric pharmacotherapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite regulatory progress being made in the past two decades, off‐label drug use in paediatrics remains pervasive, with prevalence estimated between 3% and 97% of prescriptions across different clinical settings. Off‐label use—defined as prescribing outside the conditions described in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)—is often ...

The decline of 6‐thioguanine nucleotides is not linked to impaired efficacy or safety of thiopurines in pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Thiopurines are used to maintain remission in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These drugs are metabolized into 6‐thioguanine nucleotides (6‐TGN), associated with efficacy, and 6‐methylmercaptopurine ribonucleotides (6‐MMPR), associated with adverse drug reactions. Pregnancy has been linked to a shift in thiopurine metabolism, characterized

Systematic review and scoring‐based selection of pharmacokinetic models for precision dosing of vancomycin in neonates and children

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This systematic review identified 112 population pharmacokinetic models of vancomycin in neonates and children. To support rational model selection for model‐informed precision, we developed and applied expert‐driven, transparent criteria that integrate both methodological rigour and clinical relevance.

Women with epilepsy: Evidence‐based counseling across the lifespan

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Women with epilepsy (WWE) encounter distinct and evolving challenges across the lifespan that require clinical management extending beyond seizure control alone. Although awareness of sex‐specific aspects of epilepsy has increased, important gaps remain in their integration into routine care.
