Multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of the new H1-receptor antagonist tazifylline in healthy volunteers.

The multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of the new H1-receptor antagonist, tazifylline, were investigated in healthy volunteers. From single-dose data, tazifylline appeared to be rapidly absorbed (median tmax of 0.6 h) and eliminated (t1/2 = 1.0 +/- 0.2 h). However, plasma levels measured on days 3 and 8 of the multiple-dose regimen (10 mg b.i.d. for 8 days) indicated moderate accumulation. A two-compartment model best described multiple-dose data with a terminal half-life of 15.6 +/- 7.6 h consistent with twice-daily dosing of tazifylline.

Ultrasound in the diagnosis of gallbladder ascariasis.

Ascariasis is the most common helminthic infection, but the invasion of worms into the gallbladder is quite rare. This report illustrates the ultrasonographic findings in gallbladder ascariasis of a typical echogenic structure which exhibits nondirectional movements and contains a central anechoic tube, along the long axis of the gallbladder. The role of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool and in the follow-up treatment is stressed.
