Lidocaine intoxication in axillary block: similar pharmaceutical form, different concentration.

ABSTRACT: Local anesthetic intoxication is a medical emergency with high mortality. These drugs have not spesific antidotes, quick differential diagnosis and supportive treatment required in the case of exposure to toxic doses. We report the complications and anesthetic management of a patient who was scheduled for right carpal tunnel syndrome surgery under regional anesthesia, but mistakenly received injection of 140 mg procaine added to 10% 10 mL lidocaine (10 mL=1000mg) instead of 2% lidocaine (10mL=200 mg) as part of an axillary plexus blockade.

Different pharmaceutical products need similar terminology.

Project description:In the last decade, discussions on the development of the regulatory framework of generic versions of complex drugs such as biologicals and non-biological complex drugs have attracted broad attention. The terminology used is far from harmonized and can lead to multiple interpretations of legal texts, reflection papers, and guidance documents regarding market introduction as well as reimbursement. This article describes the meaning of relevant terms in different global regions (Europe, USA, WHO) and offers a proposal for a globally accepted terminology regarding (non-) biological complex drugs.

Effects of Clonidine as an Adjuvant to Lidocaine with Epinephrine in Ultrasound Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

Project description:This study evaluated the effects of adding adjuvant clonidine to lidocaine with epinephrine on the characteristics of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB) for upper extremity surgery. Twenty-four patients were randomised to receive an ultrasound guided ABPB with 20 mL of lidocaine 2% with 1:200,000 epinephrine plus 2 mL of either normal saline 0.9% (Group 1) or a mixture of clonidine 1 µg/kg and normal saline 0.9% (Group 2). The outcome measures that were recorded were the overall onset time and the duration of sensory and motor block. The median (IQR) overall onset time of sensory and motor block was significantly shorter in Group 2 vs. Group 1 (5 (5-7.5) min vs. 10 (8.8-12.5) min; p < 0.001) and (5 (2.5-7.5) min vs. 7.5 (6.3-7.5) min; p = 0.001), respectively. The median (IQR) overall duration of sensory and motor block was significantly longer in Group 2 vs. Group 1 (225 (200-231) min vs. 168 (148-190) min; p < 0.001) and (225 (208-231) min vs. 168(148-186) min; p < 0.001), respectively. In ultrasound-guided ABPB, the addition of clonidine to lidocaine with epinephrine resulted in shorter onset time and prolonged duration of sensory and motor block.

Lido-OH, a Hydroxyl Derivative of Lidocaine, Produced a Similar Local Anesthesia Profile as Lidocaine With Reduced Systemic Toxicities.

Project description:Background: lidocaine is one of the most commonly used local anesthetics for the treatment of pain and arrhythmia. However, it could cause systemic toxicities when plasma concentration is raised. To reduce lidocaine's toxicity, we designed a hydroxyl derivative of lidocaine (lido-OH), and its local anesthesia effects and systemic toxicity in vivo were quantitively investigated. Method: the effectiveness for lido-OH was studied using mouse tail nerve block, rat dorsal subcutaneous infiltration, and rat sciatic nerve block models. The systemic toxicities for lido-OH were evaluated with altered state of consciousness (ASC), arrhythmia, and death in mice. Lidocaine and saline were used as positive and negative control, respectively. The dose-effect relationships were analyzed. Results: the half effective-concentration for lido-OH were 2.1 mg/ml with 95% confident interval (CI95) 1.6-3.1 (lidocaine: 3.1 mg/ml with CI95 2.6-4.3) in tail nerve block, 8.2 mg/ml with CI95 8.0-9.4 (lidocaine: 6.9 mg/ml, CI95 6.8-7.1) in sciatic nerve block, and 5.9 mg/ml with CI95 5.8-6.0 (lidocaine: 3.1 mg/ml, CI95 2.4-4.0) in dorsal subcutaneous anesthesia, respectively. The magnitude and duration of lido-OH were similar with lidocaine. The half effective doses (ED50) of lido-OH for ACS was 45.4 mg/kg with CI95 41.6-48.3 (lidocaine: 3.1 mg/kg, CI95 1.9-2.9), for arrhythmia was 16.0 mg/kg with CI95 15.4-16.8 (lidocaine: 3.0 mg/kg, CI95 2.7-3.3), and for death was 99.4 mg/kg with CI95 75.7-124.1 (lidocaine: 23.1 mg/kg, CI95 22.8-23.4). The therapeutic index for lido-OH and lidocaine were 35.5 and 5.6, respectively. Conclusion: compared with lidocaine, lido-OH produced local anesthesia at similar potency and efficacy, but with significantly reduced systemic toxicities.

Hello, kitty: could cat allergy be a form of intoxication?

Project description:BackgroundThe relationship between slow loris (Nycticebus spp.) venom (BGE protein) and the major cat allergen (Fel d 1) from domestic cat (Felis catus) is known for about two decades. Along this time, evidence was accumulated regarding convergences between them, including their almost identical mode of action.MethodsLarge-scale database mining for Fel d 1 and BGE proteins in Felidae and Nycticebus spp., alignment, phylogeny proposition and molecular modelling, associated with directed literature review were assessed.ResultsFel d 1 sequences for 28 non-domestic felids were identified, along with two additional loris BGE protein sequences. Dimer interfaces are less conserved among sequences, and the chain 1 shows more sequence similarity than chain 2. Post-translational modification similarities are highly probable.ConclusionsFel d 1 functions beyond allergy are discussed, considering the great conservation of felid orthologs of this protein. Reasons for toxicity being found only in domestic cats are proposed in the context of domestication. The combination of the literature review, genome-derived sequence data, and comparisons with the venomous primate slow loris may point to domestic cats as potentially poisonous mammals.

Axillary Block-Induced Chemical Sympathectomy in the Setting of Digital Ischemia.

Project description:BackgroundDigital ischemia is associated with several rheumatologic disorders and is often difficult to treat. Symptoms and sequelae can include pain, disability, need for amputation, and poor quality of life.MethodsPatients diagnosed with digital ischemia were referred for an ultrasound-guided axillary nerve block using liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel, Pacira Pharmaceuticals). The primary outcome measure was radial and ulnar artery diameter preprocedure and postprocedure. Doppler waveform analyses were performed to measure arterial diameter and blood flow velocity. The QuickDASH questionnaire was administered to evaluate upper extremity function and perceived disability.ResultsMean radial and ulnar artery diameters increased from 0.19 cm and 0.16 cm to 0.23 cm and 0.20 cm, respectively, 1 hour postprocedure. Concomitant increases in blood flow velocities and hand temperature and lower pain scores were also noted. Although pain generally returned to baseline after 1 week, QuickDASH symptom/disability scores improved at 30 days, and 2 patients' ischemic symptoms resolved spontaneously during the study period in the absence of other interventions.ConclusionData regarding chemical sympathectomy using regional anesthesia are limited at this time. Our experience suggests a potential role in the treatment and evaluation of digital ischemia. Patients with digital ischemia from rheumatologic conditions appeared to have a greater benefit from a chemical sympathectomy than patients whose conditions had an atherosclerotic or anatomic etiology. Even when the vasodilatory effects are transient, such an intervention may be useful when a more permanent option such as surgical sympathectomy is being considered. Liposomal bupivacaine is only approved for surgical infiltration at this time.

Contrasting arbuscular mycorrhizal communities colonizing different host plants show a similar response to a soil phosphorus concentration gradient.

Project description:High soil phosphorus (P) concentration is frequently shown to reduce root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, but the influence of P on the diversity of colonizing AM fungi is uncertain. We used terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) of 18S rDNA and cloning to assess diversity of AM fungi colonizing maize (Zea mays), soybean (Glycene max) and field violet (Viola arvensis) at three time points in one season along a P gradient of 10-280 mg l(-1) in the field. Percentage AM colonization changed between sampling time points but was not reduced by high soil P except in maize. There was no significant difference in AM diversity between sampling time points. Diversity was reduced at concentrations of P > 25 mg l(-1), particularly in maize and soybean. Both cloning and T-RFLP indicated differences between AM communities in the different host species. Host species was more important than soil P in determining the AM community, except at the highest P concentration. Our results show that the impact of soil P on the diversity of AM fungi colonizing plants was broadly similar, despite the fact that different plants contained different communities. However, subtle differences in the response of the AM community in each host were evident.

Pharmaceutical concentration using organic solvent forward osmosis for solvent recovery.

Project description:The organic solvent forward osmosis (OSFO) process can simultaneously concentrate the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and recover the organic solvents. Here we demonstrate and evaluate an OSFO process for solvent recovery. In this demonstration, OSFO was conducted in different solvents with different draw solutes. The OSFO process shows rejections >98% when recovering organic solvents from different feed solutions, even when the feed concentration is as high as 20?wt%. More importantly, all systems exhibit relatively low ratios of reverse solute flux to solvent flux, indicating that the adverse effects of using hazardous draw solutions could be minimized. Nevertheless, the use of non-hazardous draw solutes such as citric acid is highly recommended to remove any potential risk, and it has been demonstrated. Herein, the OSFO process is a promising technology for solvent recovery as it possesses a reasonable solvent flux, low reverse solute flux and requires no external pressure.

Toxin B Variants from Clostridium difficile Strains VPI 10463 and NAP1/027 Share Similar Substrate Profile and Cellular Intoxication Kinetics but Use Different Host Cell Entry Factors.

Project description:Clostridium difficile induces antibiotic-associated diarrhea due to the release of toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB), the latter being its main virulence factor. The epidemic strain NAP1/027 has an increased virulence attributed to different factors. We compared cellular intoxication by TcdBNAP1 with that by the reference strain VPI 10463 (TcdBVPI). In a mouse ligated intestinal loop model, TcdBNAP1 induced higher neutrophil recruitment, cytokine release, and epithelial damage than TcdBVPI. Both toxins modified the same panel of small GTPases and exhibited similar in vitro autoprocessing kinetics. On the basis of sequence variations in the frizzled-binding domain (FBD), we reasoned that TcdBVPI and TcdBNAP1 might have different receptor specificities. To test this possibility, we used a TcdB from a NAP1 variant strain (TcdBNAP1v) unable to glucosylate RhoA but with the same receptor-binding domains as TcdBNAP1. Cells were preincubated with TcdBNAP1v to block cellular receptors, prior to intoxication with either TcdBVPI or TcdBNAP1. Preincubation with TcdBNAP1v blocked RhoA glucosylation by TcdBNAP1 but not by TcdBVPI, indicating that the toxins use different host factors for cell entry. This crucial difference might explain the increased biological activity of TcdBNAP1 in the intestine, representing a contributing factor for the increased virulence of the NAP1/027 strain.

Recovery of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients from Unused Solid Dosage-Form Drugs.

Project description:The concept of drug recycle by recovering active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from unused tablets and capsules was demonstrated using acetaminophen, tetracycline HCl, and (R,S)-(±)-ibuprofen as case examples. The recovery process comprised three core unit operations: solid-liquid extraction, filtration, and crystallization. Recovery yields of 58.7 wt %, 73.1 wt %, and 67.6 wt % for acetaminophen, tetracycline HCl, and (R,S)-(±)-ibuprofen were achieved, respectively. More importantly, all of the APIs were of high purity based on high-performance liquid chromatography assay. The crystal forms of the recovered APIs were in conformity with the standards.

Electrochemical Aminoxyl-Mediated ?-Cyanation of Secondary Piperidines for Pharmaceutical Building Block Diversification.

Project description:Secondary piperidines are ideal pharmaceutical building blocks owing to the prevalence of piperidines in commercial drugs. Here, we report an electrochemical method for cyanation of the heterocycle adjacent to nitrogen without requiring protection or substitution of the N-H bond. The reaction utilizes ABNO (9-azabicyclononane N-oxyl) as a catalytic mediator. Electrochemical oxidation of ABNO generates the corresponding oxoammonium species, which promotes dehydrogenation of the 2° piperidine to the cyclic imine, followed by addition of cyanide. The low-potential, mediated electrolysis process is compatible with a wide range of heterocyclic and oxidatively sensitive substituents on the piperidine ring and enables synthesis of unnatural amino acids.
