Description for Immunology and Infectious Disease
Hardback. Provides a mechanistic look at key aspects of the inflammatory response seen in critical illness. This book emphasizes key cells and mediators involved in the innate inflammatory response and the pathways employed to combat infection or respond to injury. It includes the discussion of how the inflammatory response down regulates itself. Editor(s): Doughty, Lesley A.; Linden, Peter. Series: Molecular and Cellular Biology of Critical Care Medicine. Num Pages: 276 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCJ; MJCM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 20. Weight in Grams: 1320.
Individualized dosing regimens specific to the patient, infection, bacteria, and antibiotic can optimize outcome. Integration of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data, called dual individualization, can be accomplished through the use of AUIe. AUIC dosing has been shown to predict bacteriological outcomes, hasten clinical outcomes, reduce the emergence of resistance, and be cost-effective. MPC dosing has been shown to predict the emergence of resistant submutants. AUIC and MPC information can provide guidance as to when low doses can be used, and when higher concentrations are required. This strategy can ensure efficacy, minimize toxicity, reduce the opportunity for resistance to occur, and save ... Read more
