We hypothesized that ex vivo filtration of equine plasma with a novel cytokine adsorption device would significantly reduce concentrations of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokines. We also hypothesized that the device would adsorb medications commonly used to treat sepsis.8 horses owned by North Carolina State University.Four liters of heparinized whole blood was collected from healthy adult horses (n = 8) and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/mL) for 6 hours (37 °C.) from June 4, 2023, to December 15, 2023. Plasma was filtered through a cytokine adsorption device or sham circuit. Samples were collected at 11 time points for multiplex cytokine analysis. Chemistry analysis was performed before and after filtration. To investigate the impact of the device on medication concentrations, equine plasma containing potassium penicillin, gentamicin, and flunixin meglumine was filtered through the cytokine adsorption device or sham for 6 hours. Drug concentrations before and after filtration were determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography. Prefiltration versus postfiltration sample concentrations were analyzed by Student paired t test using GraphPad Prism 9.0 (P < .05).Filtration of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated equine plasma (n = 8) for 6 hours resulted in significant mean reductions in the cytokines IL-10, IL-5, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β, as well as albumin. Drug concentrations of potassium penicillin, gentamicin, and flunixin meglumine were also significantly reduced by filtration.This work provides proof of concept for further investigation of extracorporeal cytokine adsorption as a potential adjunct treatment for equine sepsis.}, number={6}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY RESEARCH}, author={Hobbs, Kallie J. and Davis, Jennifer L. and Cooper, Bethanie L. and Ueda, Yu and Burke, Megan J. and Sheats, Katie}, year={2024}, month={Jun} } @article{chou_tell_baynes_davis_cheng_maunsell_riviere_lin_2023, title={Development and application of an interactive generic physiologically based pharmacokinetic (igPBPK) model for adult beef cattle and lactating dairy cows to estimate tissue distribution and edible tissue and milk withdrawal intervals for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)}, volume={181}, ISSN={["1873-6351"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.fct.2023.114062}, abstractNote={Humans can be exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through dietary intake from milk and edible tissues from food animals.

Guidelines for establishing MRLs are outlined by regulatory authorities that drug sponsors follow in each country. During the drug approval process, residue limits are targeted for specific animal species and matrices. Therefore, MRLs are commonly not established for other species. This study demonstrates unestablished MRLs can be reliably predicted for under-represented food commodity groups using machine learning (ML). Classification methods with imbalanced data were used to analyze MRL data from multiple countries by implementing resampling techniques in different ML classifiers. Afterward, we developed and evaluated a data-mining method for predicting unestablished MRLs. Seven different ML classifiers such as support vector classifier, multi-layer perceptron (MLP), random forest, decision tree, k-neighbors, Gaussian NB, and AdaBoost have been selected in this baseline study. Among these, the neural network MLP classifier reliably scored the highest average-weighted F1 score (accuracy >99% with markers and ≈88% without markets) in predicting unestablished MRLs. This provides the first study to apply ML algorithms in regulatory food animal medicine.

This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy and PK of two antibiotics, tulathromycin and danofloxacin, in two age groups of calves experimentally infected with Pasteurella multocida. Both danofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and tulathromycin, a macrolide antibiotic is approved for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). To evaluate potential influences of age and disease on drug distribution and elimination in calves, plasma, interstitial fluid (ISF), and pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (PELF) were analyzed for drug concentrations. Concentrations for both drugs in the PELF were estimated by a urea dilution assay of the collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluids. Age was determined to be a significant covariate for calves administered danofloxacin and tulathromycin for plasma PK parameters. For calves administered danofloxacin, the area under the curve (AUC) in the plasma was lower in 6-month old calves (18.9 ± 12.6 hr* μg/mL) vs. 3-week old calves (32.0 ± 8.2 hr* μg/mL). Clearance (CL/F) of danofloxacin was higher in 6-month old calves. In contrast, tulathromycin plasma concentrations were higher in 6 month old calves and CL/F was higher in 3-week old calves. Age did not significantly influence the ISF concentrations of danofloxacin or tulathromycin in calves with respiratory disease, unlike previous studies which reported higher ISF concentrations of danofloxacin and tulathromycin in 6-month old calves when compared to younger calves. PELF concentrations were higher than plasma and ISF for both danofloxacin and tulathromycin, but did not differ between age groups.

The Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank program has been developing scientific tools to provide appropriate withdrawal interval (WDI) estimations after extralabel drug use in food animals for the past three decades. One of the tools is physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, which is a mechanistic-based approach that can be used to predict tissue residues and WDIs. However, PBPK models are complicated and difficult to use by non-modelers. Therefore, a user-friendly PBPK modeling framework is needed to move this field forward. Flunixin was one of the top five violative drug residues identified in the United States from 2010 to 2016. The objective of this study was to establish a web-based user-friendly framework for the development of new PBPK models for drugs administered to food animals. Specifically, a new PBPK model for both cattle and swine after administration of flunixin meglumine was developed. Population analysis using Monte Carlo simulations was incorporated into the model to predict WDIs following extralabel administration of flunixin meglumine. The population PBPK model was converted to a web-based interactive PBPK (iPBPK) framework to facilitate its application. This iPBPK framework serves as a proof-of-concept for further improvements in the future and it can be applied to develop new models for other drugs in other food animal species, thereby facilitating the application of PBPK modeling in WDI estimation and food safety assessment.}, number={7}, journal={Archives of Toxicology}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Li, Miao and Cheng, Yi-Hsien and Chittenden, Jason T. and Baynes, Ronald E. and Tell, Lisa A. and Davis, Jennifer L. and Vickroy, Thomas W. and Riviere, Jim E. and Lin, Zhoumeng}, year={2019}, month={Apr}, pages={1865–1880} } @article{gilbertie_davis_davidson_mcdonald_schirmer_schnabel_2019, title={Oral reserpine administration in horses results in low plasma concentrations that alter platelet biology}, volume={51}, ISSN={["2042-3306"]}, DOI={10.1111/evj.13048}, abstractNote={Summary}, number={4}, journal={EQUINE VETERINARY JOURNAL}, author={Gilbertie, J.

The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of altrenogest following PO or per rectum (PR) administration in mares. Using a randomized two-way crossover study design, six horses received altrenogest (0.088 mg/kg; PO or PR q 24 hours for 5 days), with a 7-day washout period, and the concentrations of altrenogest were determined by an ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma concentrations persisted above presumed therapeutic concentrations for a mean of 36 hours (range 24-72 hours) and 5.5 hours (range 3-8 hours) for PO and PR administration, respectively. The calculated half-life (T ½) of PO administration (7.01 ± 3.13 hours) was correspondingly increased when compared to PR administration (2.82 ± 1.07 hours). Relative bioavailability of altrenogest following PR administration was only 5.47%. Altrenogest is rapidly absorbed following PR administration in the horse and reaches therapeutic concentrations, making this a viable method of treatment in NPO mares.

The owner bottle fed the foal small amounts of mare’s milk over the first 4 days of life, but the foal became progressively weaker over time and was recumbent and nonresponsive at presentation. Furthermore, although gestational length and parturition were reportedly normal, the mare had apparently not been producing adequate amounts of milk since the foal was born. Upon presentation (Day 1), the foal weighed 36.8 kg and was severely dehydrated, undernourished, unresponsive, hypothermic (32.2°C; reference range [RR], 37.2–38.6°C), bradycardic (40 beats/min; RR, 96–108 beats/min), hypoglycemic (28 mg/dL; RR, 101–226 mg/dL), hyperlactatemic (4.2 mmol/L; RR, <2.5 mmol/L), and had a low serum immunoglobulin G (IgG: 400–800 mg/dL ; RR, >800 mg/dL). A CBC revealed leucopenia (3.41 9 10/lL; RR, 5.1–10.1 9 10/lL) characterized by neutropenia (2.15 9 10/lL; RR, 3.21–8.58 9 10/lL) and relevant serum biochemistry derangements included hypoproteinemia (3.5 g/ dL; RR, 5.3–7.9 g/dL), hypoalbuminemia (1.9 g/dL; RR, 2.8–3.7 g/dL), and hyperbilirubinemia (4.61 mg/ dL; RR, 0.5–3.9 mg/dL). The foal was treated for failure of transfer of passive immunity and polymicrobial sepsis confirmed via blood culture yielding E. coli and Citrobacter sp. Treatment included administration of 2 L of equine plasma, which increased the serum IgG to >800 mg/ dL, fluid resuscitation and treatment, antimicrobial treatment consisting of ceftiofur (Naxel ) (5 mg/kg IV q12h) and gentamicin (10 mg/kg IV q24h) for 10 days followed by sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (30 mg/ kg PO q12h) for 7 days, nasoesophageal tube feedings and supportive and nursing care. The mare was treated with domperidone (1.1 mg/kg PO q24h) to increase milk production. The foal was able to ambulate by Day 4 and by Day 6, was bright and alert and attempted to suckle from the mare frequently. However, the mare consistently demonstrated aggressive behavior toward the foal; therefore the mare’s head was tied in a stationary position and periodic sedation (detomidine, Dormosedan, 0.011 mg/kg IM q6h) was administered while the hindlimbs were hobbled to allow the foal to suckle under strict supervision. Although the foal was able to suckle voluntarily, the mare continued to display violent behavior and attempted to bite and kick the foal, but was constrained by the applied restraints. In an attempt to facilitate mare-foal bonding and provide a means for the foal to suckle unsupervised without maternal sedation or restraint, the mare was administered alprazolam (0.035 mg/kg PO q8h) on Day 7. On Day 8, 24 hours after the initial dose of alprazolam, the mare had a quieter demeanor and demonstrated less aggression toward the foal. The next day (Day 9) the mare was not aggressive toward the foal and allowed the foal to suckle regularly. Over the next 2 days, the mare was untied, the hobbles were removed and the foal was allowed to suckle without incident. On Day 11, the mare’s physical examination was within acceptable parameters, but the mare appeared mildly sedate; therefore the frequency of alprazolam administration was decreased to twice daily (0.035 mg/kg PO q12h). On Day 14, the foal weighed 44 kg and was suckling regularly without threat from the mare. The mare and foal were subsequently discharged with instructions to administer alprazolam (0.035 mg/kg PO q12h for 3 days, then 0.018 mg/kg PO q12h for 5 days). One week after discharge the owner reported that the mare demonstrated no aggression toward the foal when suckling, and 6 months after presentation the mare and foal were reportedly healthy.

Ceftiofur, administered as either ceftiofur sodium or CCFA, is rapidly metabolized to desfuroylceftiofur (Jaglan et al., 1994). The in vitro activity of desfuroylceftiofur against common gram-negative pathogens and streptococci is almost identical to that of ceftiofur (Salmon et al., 1996). Current labeling for the use of CCFA in horses states that two intramuscular (IM) doses must be administered 4 days apart. This regimen is designed to provide concentrations of ceftiofur and desfuroylceftiofur-related metabolites in plasma above the therapeutic target of 0.2 lg/mL for a minimum of 10 days from the beginning of treatment. This threshold of 0.2 lg/mL is above the minimum inhibitory concentration that inhibits growth of at least 90% (MIC90) of S. equi subspecies zooepidemicus isolates (Jaglan et al., 1994; Bade et al., 2009). To allow slow and sustained release of the drug, CCFA is in a caprylic/capric triglyceride and cottonseed oil-based suspension. An oil-based suspension is more likely to be irritating to surrounding muscles than the sterile aqueous solution used for the ceftiofur sodium formulation. In a recent study, self-limiting injection site swelling was reported in 10 of 278 (3.6%) horses treated with IM CCFA (McClure et al., 2011). In some horses, the IM injection site reaction can be quite large and very painful. In a recent study, administration of CCFA to newborn foals by the subcutaneous (SC) route did not result in swelling or pain at the site of injection (Hall et al., 2011). Administration of Excede to adult horses by the SC route might minimize injection site irritation and facilitate administration. However, because the entire dosage regimen depends on only two administrations, alterations in the pharmacokinetic profile as a result giving the dose SC could affect efficacy. The main objective of the present study was to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of CCFA administered by the SC route to that achieved after administration by the IM route. In addition, we sought to compare the size of visible injection site swellings after administration by the two routes of administration. We hypothesized that SC administration of CCFA to adult horses will be well tolerated and result in therapeutic plasma concentrations. Twelve barren adult mares (7–17 years of age) ranging in weight from 471 to 675 kg were used in the study. Horses were randomly assigned into two treatment groups. Ceftiofur crystalline free acid (CCFA; Excede, Pfizer Animal Health, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) was administered to each horse at a total dose of 6.6 mg/kg of body weight on day 0 and again on day 4. Six horses received half of the calculated volume SC on each side of the neck. Six other horses received half of the calculated volume IM on each side of the neck. The volume of drug administered at each injection site ranged from 7.8 to 11.1 mL. All injections were performed using an 18-gauge 1.5-inch needle. Blood samples (10 mL) were obtained by jugular venipuncture 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after administration of the drug on day 0 and on day 4. Additionally, blood samples were collected on day 8 and on day 10 of the study. Blood samples were centrifuged and plasma was stored at 80°C until analysis. The sites of injection were monitored daily for visible swelling by a nonblinded investigator. When injection site swelling was detected, the horizontal and vertical diameters of each site of swelling were measured using Vernier calipers. For each side of the neck, the surface area of each visible swelling was estimated by multiplying the horizontal diameter by the vertical diameter. On a given day, the total surface area was obtained by adding the surface areas from swellings on each side of the neck. The number of days a given area of swelling at an injection site was detectable was also recorded. Ceftiofur and desfuroylceftiofur metabolites in plasma samples and standards were derivitazed to desfuroylceftiofur acetamide (DCA) and then subjected to solid-phase extraction}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS}, author={Fultz, L. and Giguere, S. and Berghaus, L.

Ceftiofur sodium (CS), a third-generation cephalosporin antimicrobial, has in vitro efficacy against many bacterial organisms cultured from septicemic equine neonates (Jaglan et al., 1994; Marsh & Palmer, 2001; Sanchez et al., 2008; Meyer et al., 2009). Ceftiofur sodium is a time-dependent, bactericidal, β-lactam antimicrobial (Owens & Ambrose, 2007). To optimize the likelihood of efficacy, dosing regimens are designed to maximize the duration concentrations of antimicrobial at the site of infection are greater than the MIC of the pathogen (Turnidge, 1998). For gram-positive organisms, CS has a period of post-antibiotic effect and post-antibiotic leukocyte enhancement. For gram-negative organisms no post-antibiotic effect exists and reduced efficacy of cephalosporin antimicrobial therapy has been reported when T > MIC is MIC for 90–100% of the dosing interval is recommended (Turnidge, 1998).}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS}, author={Wearn, J.

A washout period of at least 7 days was allotted between experiments. After IV administration, the volume of distribution, clearance, and half‐life were 0.18 ± 0.04 L/kg, 1.18 ± 0.32 mL·kg/min, and 4.61 ± 1.10 h, respectively.

MATERIALS LEC growth was evaluated for 14 days in canine lens capsules (LCs) that had been exposed to media containing 20 μM CXB for 1-5 days. After the incubation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic IOLs in CXB solution, the determination of the in vitro release of CXB from the IOLs was performed for up to 28 days. The incubated and nonincubated IOLs were evaluated in the ex vivo model of PCO, and the rate of LEC growth was evaluated over 28 days. RESULTS The treatment of LCs with 20 μM CXB for 4 and 5 days completely inhibited LEC growth. LEC repopulation did not occur after the removal of CXB. IOLs incubated in CXB for 24 h resulted in a sustained release of CXB in vitro at levels theoretically sufficient to inhibit PCO. LCs in the ex vivo model of PCO treated with acrylic IOLs incubated in CXB had significantly suppressed LEC ingrowth compared with untreated and IOL-only LCs. CONCLUSIONS A 4-day treatment of LCs with a concentration of 20 μM CXB may effectively prevent PCO. IOLs incubated in CXB for 24 h resulted in a sustained release of CXB in vitro at levels sufficient to inhibit LEC growth in the ex vivo model of PCO.

METHODS In the first phase; buprenorphine was administered as a single IV or SL dose (0.006 mg kg(-1)) and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for each route of administration using a noncompartmental model. In the second phase; the jugular and lateral thoracic veins were catheterized for simultaneous venous blood sampling, following a dose of 0.006 mg kg(-1) SL buprenorphine. For both phases, plasma buprenorphine concentrations were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. At each sampling period, horses were assessed for behavioral excitement and gastrointestinal motility. RESULTS Following IV administration, buprenorphine mean ± SD half-life was 5.79 ± 1.09 hours. Systemic clearance (Cl) following IV administration was 6.13 ± 0.86 mL kg(-1) minute(-1) and volume of distribution at steady-state was 3.16 ± 0.65 L kg(-1). Following IV administration, horses showed signs of excitement. Gastrointestinal sounds were decreased following both routes of administration; however, none of the horses exhibited signs of colic. There was a significant discrepancy between plasma buprenorphine concentrations measured in the jugular vein versus the lateral thoracic vein following phase 2, thus pharmacokinetic parameters following SL buprenorphine are not reported. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Buprenorphine has a long plasma half-life and results in plasma concentrations that are consistent with analgesia in other species for up to 4 hours following IV administration of this dose in horses. While buprenorphine is absorbed into the circulation following SL administration, jugular venous sampling gave a false measurement of the quantity absorbed and should not be used to study the uptake from SL administration.}, number={4}, journal={VETERINARY ANAESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA}, author={Messenger, Kristen M. and Davis, Jennifer L. and LaFevers, Douglas H. and Barlow, Beth M. and Posner, Lysa P.}, year={2011}, month={Jul}, pages={374–384} } @article{wong_davis_white_2011, title={Motility of the equine gastrointestinal tract: Physiology and pharmacotherapy}, volume={23}, ISSN={["2042-3292"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.2042-3292.2010.00173.x}, abstractNote={Summary}, number={2}, journal={EQUINE VETERINARY EDUCATION}, author={Wong, D.

A single dose of IV RDZ (mean 9.2 mg/kg) and a 95 mg immediate-release RDZ capsule (mean 28.2 mg/kg) were administered to six healthy cats in a randomized crossover design. Plasma samples were collected for 48 h and assayed for RDZ using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Systemic absorption of oral RDZ was rapid and complete, with detection in the plasma of all cats by 10 min after dosing and a bioavailability of 99.64 (±16.54)%. The clearance of RDZ following IV administration was 0.82 (±0.07) ml/kg/min. The terminal half-life was 9.80 (±0.35) and 10.50 (±0.82) h after IV and oral administration, respectively, with drug detectable in all cats 48 h after both administrations.

Florfenicol (FF), thiamphenicol (TAP), and chloramphenicol (CAP) were heated at 100 °C in water, salt water, soybean sauce and chicken meat for up to 2 h. Degradation and antimicrobial activity of the compounds was evaluated using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV-DAD spectrometry, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay, and gas chromatography with electron impact ionization mass spectrometry (GC–EI-MS). Heat stability of amphenicols in matrices was ranked as water ≥ salt water > soybean sauce > meat, suggesting that heat degradation of amphenicols was accelerated in soybean sauce and was not protected in meat. Heat stability by drug and matrices was ranked as FF > TAP = CAP in water, FF = TAP > CAP in salt water, TAP ≥ FF = CAP in soybean sauce, and TAP ≥ FF = CAP in meat, indicating differential heat stability of amphenicols among the 3 drugs and in different matrices. In accordance with the less than 20% degradation, the MIC against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus did not change after 2 h heating in water. A 5-min heating of amphenicols in water by microwave oven generated comparable percentage degradation to boiling in water bath for 30 min to 1 h. Both CE and GC–MS analysis showed that heating of FF produced TAP but not FF amine as one of its breakdown products. In conclusion, despite close similarity in structure; amphenicols exhibited differential behavior toward heating degradation in solutions and protein matrices. Although higher degradations of amphenicols were observed in soybean sauce and meat, heating treatment may generate product with antimicrobial activity (FF to TAP), therefore, heating of amphenicol residues in food cannot always be assumed safe.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOMEDICAL ANALYSIS}, author={Franje, Catherine A. and Chang, Shao-Kuang and Shyu, Ching-Lin and Davis, Jennifer L. and Lee, Yan-Wen and Lee, Ren-Jye and Chang, Chao-Chin and Chou, Chi-Chung}, year={2010}, month={Dec}, pages={869–877} } @article{smith_davis_smith_gerard_campbell_foster_2010, title={Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Pantoprazole in Alpacas}, volume={24}, ISSN={["1939-1676"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2010.0508.x}, DOI={10.1111/j.1939-1676.2010.0508.x}, abstractNote={BACKGROUND Despite frequent clinical use, information about the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pantoprazole in camelids is not available. OBJECTIVES To examine the pharmacokinetics of both IV and SC pantoprazole and to determine whether pantoprazole administration would increase 3rd compartment pH in alpacas. ANIMALS Six healthy adult alpacas. METHODS Alpacas were fitted with a 3rd compartment cannula for measuring gastric pH. After recovery, alpacas received 1 mg/kg pantoprazole IV, q24h for 3 days or 2 mg/kg SC q24h for 3 days. Alpacas received both IV and SC pantoprazole, with a minimum of 3 weeks between treatments. Third compartment pH was recorded and plasma samples were taken for pharmacokinetic analysis. RESULTS Pantoprazole induced a slow but sustained increase in 3rd compartment pH when given by both the IV and SC routes. Third compartment pH was significantly increased as compared with baseline values (1.81+/-0.7; mean+/-SD) at 24 (2.47+/-0.8), 48 (3.53+/-1.0) and 72 hours (4.03+/-1.3) after daily IV administration of pantoprazole. Third compartment pH increased from 1.73+/-0.6 at baseline to 3.05+/-1.1, 4.02+/-1.4, and 3.61+/-1.6 at 24, 48, and 72 hours after SC administration, respectively. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that pantoprazole had a short elimination half-life (0.47+0.06 h) and a high clearance rate (12.2+/-2.9 mL/kg/min) after both IV and SC administration. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Based on the results of this study, pantoprazole represents a safe and effective drug for increasing 3rd compartment pH in camelids.

The mare was a maiden, 336 days in gestation, and had been treated with 2 doses of flunixin meglumine (1 mg/kg, PO) the day before examination. Historically, the mare had experienced intermittent seizures while in race training. A complete diagnostic investigation to determine the cause of the seizures had been performed, but the origin of seizures remained undetermined. A weak positive Western blot analysis on cerebrospinal fluid for Sarcocystis neurona was reported at that time, and the mare was treated with ponazurila (5 mg/kg PO q24h) for 30 days.1 At examination, pertinent physical examination findings included mild tachycardia (56 beats/min), sensitivity to hoof testers involving all 4 feet, and the presence of thick, purulent exudate from the left mammary gland. Rectal palpation revealed anterior presentation of a live fetus, and transrectal and transabdominal ultrasonography demonstrated areas of uteroplacental thickening (14 mm; reference interval 7.14–11.98).2 While restrained in stocks, the mare demonstrated a mild partial seizure characterized by anxiousness, muscle fasciculations of the head and neck, and ataxia. Hematologic and serum biochemical abnormalities were limited to an increased plasma fibrinogen concentration (600 mg/dL; reference interval 100–400). Lateral radiography of the feet revealed mild soft tissue swelling at the coronary band in the right front foot, suggestive of laminitis with sinking of the 3rd phalanx within the hoof. Because of laminitis and suspicion of placentitis and mastitis, the mare was administered sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprimb (30 mg/kg PO q12h for 10 days) and phenylbutazonec (3 mg/kg PO q12h for 3 days, then 1.5 mg/kg PO q12h for 3 days), the left mammary gland was milked out q8h, and supportive pads were applied to all 4 feet. Two generalized seizures were observed 14 and 16 hours after initial examination, characterized by anxiousness, generalized muscle fasciculations most prominent around the head and neck, hyperesthesia, collapse, and recumbency. At this point, treatment with phenobarbitald (5.5 mg/kg PO q12h) was initiated. Seizure activity was not subsequently noted. Uncomplicated parturition of a 42.7 kg filly occurred 3 days after admission. The filly was lethargic and hypothermic (96.4°F; reference interval 99.5–101.3), had weak peripheral pulses, and maintained a low heart rate (52–56 bpm) for 45 minutes after birth. Heart rate and temperature progressively improved over the following 90 minutes. Blood and milk samples were collected from the mare and blood was collected from the foal immediately after parturition to measure phenobarbital concentrations. Phenobarbital concentration in the mare's serum was considered therapeutic (16.3 μg/mL; reference interval 15–40).3 The concentrations of phenobarbital in the mare's milk and foal's serum were 7.5 and 12.2 μg/mL, respectively. Initial treatment for the foal included intranasal oxygen (8 L/min for 1 hour) and intravenous administration of 2 L of hyperimmunized equine plasmae and ceftiofurf (10 mg/kg q6h × 7 days). A CBC, biochemistry profile, arterial blood gas analysis, and blood cultures were submitted immediately after parturition. No substantial clinicopathologic abnormalities were noted, and amikacing (25 mg/kg IV q24h × 7 days) was subsequently administered. Bacterial growth was not observed on blood culture. An 8 × 6 inch area of thickened irregular placenta was identified in the nonpregnant horn of the placenta. This section of placenta was characterized histologically by a fibrinonecrotic exudate covering the chorion and numerous filamentous Gram-positive rods. Blood and milk samples were collected from the mare and blood was collected from the foal at various times over the next 4 days of hospitalization to measure phenobarbital concentrations. The foal remained lethargic and demonstrated decreased activity until 48 hours of age when compared with a healthy foal of similar age. The foal was encouraged or assisted to stand for the 1st 48 hours to ensure adequate milk intake and progressively nursed more aggressively and regularly over time. The mare had no further signs of seizure activity, and the mare and foal were discharged 7 days after presentation. In total, the mare was administered phenobarbital twice daily for 6 days and then once daily for 3 days until treatement was discontinued. Blood and milk samples were collected from the mare and blood from the foal 3 and 7 days after discharge. The mare and foal were reported to be doing well 1 year after discharge with no evidence of seizures. The use of any drug in lactating mares can be controversial because the amount of drug the foal is exposed to is often unknown as there are very few scientific reports on this subject in the literature. Upon administration of medications to a lactating mare, a number of factors influence exposure of the neonate to the drug via milk. These include partitioning of drug from plasma into milk, drug concentration in milk, as well as the subsequent ingestion of the drug by the neonate.4–6 Because neonatal exposure to maternally administered drugs can have detrimental effects in the infant, mathematical calculations have been validated in humans to predict the neonate's exposure to a drug.7 The milk-to-plasma (M/P) ratio represents the ratio between the drug concentration in milk and that in maternal plasma/serum.5 This ratio provides an estimate of the amount of drug to which the suckling infant is exposed. Similarly, the formula used to predict the concentration of drug in milk provides an estimate of the amount of drug in milk, taking into consideration the amount of drug that is bound to protein. The calculation of exposure index (EI) was developed in people to link the M/P ratio, milk intake, and infant drug clearance to a time-averaged drug exposure level of the suckling infant.6 The EI attempts to account for differences in drug absorption and excretion in the suckling neonate when compared with the adult and is expressed as a relationship of the foal's exposure relative to the therapeutic dose of the mother.5 Blood samples were collected from the mare via the jugular vein and milk samples were collected from the right teat into sterile tubes immediately after parturition (time 0) and at 24, 48, 73, 74, 76, 78, 80, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90, 92, 95, 97, 167 (7 days), and 263 (11 days) hours after parturition. Phenobarbital had been administered to the mare for 2 days before parturition for a total of 4 doses. Treatment was continued 2 hours after parturition (ie, phenobarbital administered at time 2, 14, 26, 38, 50 hours after parturition). Blood from the foal was collected from a cephalic vein at parturition (time 0) and at 24, 48, 72, 74, 88, 167 (7 days), and 263 (11 days) hours after parturition. Serum was harvested and milk and serum samples were analyzed on the day of collection. Phenobarbital concentrations in serum and milk were measured by fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) on an automated chemistry analyzer.h The sensitivity of the assay, as reported by the manufacturer, was 1.1 μg/mL and the precision had a coefficient of variation less than 5%. Quality control (QC) samples were analyzed before the assay at low (15 μg/mL), medium (30 μg/mL), and high (50 μg/mL) concentrations to ensure that the assay performance was within QC ranges. The concentrations of phenobarbital in the mare's serum and milk as well as the foal's serum are presented in Figure 1. Pharmacokinetic calculations were performed with computer softwarei by noncompartmental analysis. The maximum concentration (Cmax) reported was derived directly from the drug concentration versus time curves in the mare's milk and serum, as well as the foal's serum. Pertinent pharmacokinetic parameters are summarized in Table 1. The predicted amount of drug that will transfer from the plasma to the milk, known as the M/P ratio, can be calculated from the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for acidic drugs as follows:4,8 In this equation, pHm is the pH of the mare's milk, pKa is the pKa for phenobarbital (7.3), and pHP is the pH of the mare's plasma (estimated to be 7.4).9 The pH of mare's milk has not been published. Therefore, for this report, it was estimated to be 6.49 based on an average pH of milk collected from 6 healthy mares that were < 7 days postparturition. This calculation resulted in a predicted M/P ratio of 0.51. The actual M/P ratio was then calculated from data collected in this case by the total area-under-the-curve (AUC) from an analysis of the curves presented in Figure 1. The AUC was used as it is a measure of concentration over time rather than at a single point in time, as would have been the case if Cmax were used. Therefore, AUCSerum and AUCMilk were used to calculate the value in this case. Serum drug concentrations were substituted for plasma concentrations in the calculation of the actual M/P ratio, because the FPIA method uses a serum based assay. The measured serum concentrations were corrected for protein binding because only unbound drug is transferred from mare's plasma to milk. Protein binding of phenobarbital in horses is 31%; thus, the unbound (free) fraction of drug in plasma is 0.69.10 The observed M/P AUC ratio by this analysis based on unbound concentration in plasma was 0.565, a value close to the theoretical predicted value of 0.51.

Table 1. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic parameters of phenobarbital in the serum and milk of the mare as well as the serum of the foal calculated after administration of 5.5 mg/kg PO q12h to the mare.

Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated after the administration of 7 doses of phenobarbital to the mare. Once the M/P ratio has been determined, the total phenobarbital concentration in milk can be predicted to determine the dose available to be ingested by the suckling foal. Calculation of the milk drug concentration is accomplished according to the following equation:4 This calculation results in a predicted phenobarbital concentration in milk at steady state of 8.7 μg/mL. The actual observed phenobarbital concentration measured in milk fluctuated from 9 to 11.2 μg/mL between 83 and 108 hours (Fig 1). Aside from knowing the concentration of drug in milk available to the foal, the total amount of the mare's dose that the foal is exposed to per day through ingestion of milk, also known as the exposure index, can be determined. This is influenced by the amount of milk ingested by the foal and the phenobarbital clearance in the foal. To calculate the EI, the following equation was utilized6: where M/P is the milk-to-plasma concentration ratio, A is milk intake (mL/kg/min), and clearance is the foal's drug clearance as measured from other studies.11 Neonatal drug clearance for phenobarbital in foals has been reported to be 0.0564 L/kg/h (0.94 mL/kg/min).11 Assuming milk consumption of the foal to be approximately 20% of the foal's body weight12 (0.137 mL/kg/min for this foal), the predicted EI was 7.4%. However, the actual comparison of the foal's serum concentration to mare's serum concentration demonstrated an observed EI of approximately 32%. Administration of phenobarbital in pregnant women is controversial because of its potential teratogenic effects.13 Furthermore, caution must be exercised in epileptic women receiving phenobarbital while breast feeding because this drug is transferred into breast milk and demonstrates a slow elimination by nursing infants.13,14 Phenobarbital is marginally excreted into human milk because milk pH is near the drug's pKa; therefore the drug is partially ionized and protein binding is moderate (51%).5 However, low clearance of the drug by the neonate can lead to accumulation of the drug and potentially result in blood concentrations that can produce adverse effects.5,14 Potential neonatal adverse effects include sedation and decreased suckling activity resulting from cumulative concentrations of phenobarbital in the neonate.5,14 Potential deleterious effects of phenobarbital in foals include respiratory depression, bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, and ataxia.11,15,16 The foal presented in this report demonstrated lethargy and decreased activity during the 1st 48 hours of life, which could have been attributed to several factors, including accumulation of phenobarbital within the fetus and continued exposure to phenobarbital through mare's milk. Phenobarbital administration to the mare was hastily discontinued because we felt that the risk of seizures was low postpartum. The etiology of the seizures in the mare remains uncertain. However, seizures in people can be precipitated by stress or pain, and factors such as strenuous training, impending parturition, and pain associated with laminitis and mastitis may have contributed to the mare's seizure activity.17 With correction or treatment of these factors, we believed the likelihood of seizures was outweighed by the detrimental effects of phenobarbital on the foal. The pharmacokinetic principles presented here demonstrate that it is possible to predict phenobarbital concentration in mare's milk from theoretical values. In the mare reported here, the concentration in milk (Fig 1) was slightly higher than, but similar to, the concentration predicted from equations using the mare M/P ratio. The milk concentration from predicted equations was 8.7 μg/mL at steady state whereas the actual milk concentration measured ranged from 9 to 11.2 μg/mL. Although our calculations predicted a close approximation of drug concentration in mare's milk after treatment with phenobarbital, the exposure to the foal was notably underestimated. The actual exposure of a nursing infant to a drug is influenced by the amount ingested and the ability of the neonate to clear the drug.4,6 The exposure index is expressed as the relationship of the foal's exposure relative to the exposure to a therapeutic dose to the mother. In this case it was predicted to be only 7.4%; however, the observed EI calculated from actual foal and mare plasma phenobarbital concentrations was 32%. This discrepancy may be a result of higher oral absorption or lower clearance of the drug in this foal than previously reported values.11 Realizing the limitations of extracting information from 1 horse, the case presented here reveals preliminary information with regard to phenobarbital disposition in a lactating mare and neonatal foal. It is apparent that phenobarbital was transferred to the fetus in utero and phenobarbital is excreted into the milk and absorbed by the suckling neonatal foal. In addition, methods shown here indicate that it may be possible to predict drug concentration in milk from the mare's serum concentration, but exposure to the foal requires a more accurate estimate of the foal's drug clearance and milk consumption. In clinical cases, it is encouraged to measure both maternal and neonatal serum concentrations of phenobarbital when a mare is being treated to monitor for possible over exposure to the foal and ensure therapeutic levels in the mare.

Plasma omeprazole concentrations were measured by high‐pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated included the area under the curve (AUC0‐‐∞), peak plasma concentration (Cmax), time of peak plasma concentration (Tmax), and terminal half‐life (t1/2). On day 6, plasma omeprazole concentrations reached aCmaxof 0.12 μg/mL at aTmaxof 45 min. Thet1/2of omeprazole was 2.3 h and theAUC0‐‐∞was 0.38 h·μg/mL. Plasma concentrations remained above the minimum concentration for inhibition of gastric acid secretion projected from other studies on day 6 in all the llamas for approximately 6 h. However, theAUC0‐‐∞was below the concentrations associated with clinical efficacy. It was not possible to measure oral systemic bioavailability because there was no i.v. data collected from these animals. However, using data published on the i.v. pharmacokinetics of omeprazole in llamas, oral absorption was estimated to be only 2.95%. Due to low absorption the oral dose was increased to 8 and 12 mg/kg and studies were repeated. There were no significant differences inCmax,Tmax, orAUC0‐‐∞for either of the increased doses.

Abstract

Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and β-adrenergic receptor blockers in patients with heart failure (HF) remains low despite the results of clinical trials and evidence-based guidelines that support their use. The quality of HF care in managed Medicare and Medicaid programs in North Carolina participating in a HF quality improvement program was assessed. Managed care plans identified adult patients with 1 inpatient or 3 outpatient claims for HF during 2000. A stratified random sample of 971 Medicare and 642 Medicaid patients' outpatient medical records from 5 plans were reviewed by trained nurse abstractors to obtain data regarding type of HF, demographics, comorbidities, and therapies. Left ventricular function assessment was performed in 88% of patients. Among 494 patients with systolic dysfunction, 86% were appropriately treated with respect to ACE inhibitors (73% prescribed, 13% had a documented contraindication). In contrast, β-blocker therapy was appropriate in 61% (49% prescribed, 12% contraindication). There were no significant differences in drug use by insurance, gender, race, or age. Ventricular function assessment and ACE inhibitor prescription rates are higher than β-blocker prescription rates among Medicare and Medicaid managed care patients in North Carolina. Opportunities for improvement remain, particularly for β-blocker use.}, number={6}, journal={The American Journal of Cardiology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Bertoni, Alain G and Duren-Winfield, Vanessa and Ambrosius, Walter T and McArdle, Jill and Sueta, Carla A and Massing, Mark W and Peacock, Sharon and Davis, Jennifer and Croft, Janet B and Goff, David C, Jr}, year={2004}, month={Mar}, pages={714–718} } @article{davis_blikslager_catto_jones_2003, title={A retrospective analysis of hepatic injury in horses with proximal enteritis (1984-2002)}, volume={17}, ISSN={["0891-6640"]}, DOI={10.1892/0891-6640(2003)017<0896:ARAOHI>2.3.CO;2}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE}, author={Davis, JL and Blikslager, AT and Catto, K and Jones, SL}, year={2003}, pages={896–901} } @article{davis_jones_2003, title={Equine primary immunodeficiencies}, volume={25}, number={7}, journal={Compendium on Continuing Education for the Practicing Veterinarian}, author={Davis, J.

The prognosis depends on the ability to diagnose and treat the underlying cause and prevent the development of complications. Mortality rates can be as high as 59.7%, with horses developing postoperative peritonitis having a 56% mortality rate. Long-term complications like adhesion formation or internal abscesses may further reduce the survival rate.

To investigate this possibility, the disposition of azithromycin in plasma, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), and alveolar cells was examined after a single administration in foals. Azithromycin suspension was administered orally (p.o.) at a dose of 10 mg/kg to five healthy 2–3‐month‐old foals. Two weeks later, azithromycin for injection was administered by intravenous (i.v.) infusion at a dose of 5 mg/kg to the same foals. Plasma samples were collected after p.o. and i.v. administration. Peripheral blood PMN and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and alveolar cells were collected after p.o. administration. Azithromycin concentrations were determined by reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with coulometric electrochemical detection. Azithromycin p.o. absorption was variable with a mean systemic availability of 39% (±20%). The plasma half‐life was 16 and 18.3 h after i.v. and p.o. administration, respectively. Azithromycin had a very large volume of distribution (Vd) of 11.6 L/kg [Vd(ss)] and 12.4 L/kg [Vd(area)]. The large Vd can be attributed to high tissue and intracellular concentrations, exhibited by the high concentration of azithromycin in PMN and alveolar cells. The PMN half‐life was 49.2 h. Dosage of 10 mg/kg of azithromycin p.o. once daily for foals with R. equi pneumonia is recommended for further study.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS}, author={Davis, JL and Gardner, SY and Jones, SL and Schwabenton, BA and Papich, MG}, year={2002}, month={Apr}, pages={99–104} } @article{davis_ramirez_campbell_jones_2001, title={Acute and chronic mineral oil pneumonitis in two horses}, volume={13}, DOI={10.1111/j.2042-3292.2001.tb00099.x}, abstractNote={Equine Veterinary EducationVolume 13, Issue 5 p. 230-234 Acute and chronic mineral oil pneumonitis in two horses J.
