    Abstract The history of blood transfusion has been dominated by the search for compatibility for species specificity, the search for how to transfer blood from one individual into another or infuse. Safety has become a major issue since it became clear that blood was not only able to allow mystical miracles to take place but could transmit infectious diseases. The science behind these ideas reflects observation, a thinking and exchange of knowledge and skills, originally documented in reports or case studies of what has happened and was observed, and peer presented - knowledge economy.

    Abstract The Amsterdam Society 'Natura Artis Magistra' and their acquisition of the menagerie owned by Cornelis van Aken The Amsterdam Society 'Natura Artis Magistra' was established in 1838 by Amsterdam citizens among whom the bookseller Frederik Westerman (1807-1890) was the driving force. The two main aims of the society were to set up a zoo and to study all objects from nature. The acquisition of the animals for the zoo is the subject of this article. During the eighteenth and nineteenth century exotic animals were exhibited at country fairs. One of Europe's largest collection of such exotic animals was owned by the Dutchman Cornelis van Aken. He travelled all over Europe to show them, but as he heard from the Society's plan for a zoo, he immediately offered his animals for sale. Negotiations between the Society and Van Aken took almost a year, but finally at the end of November 1839 the animals arrived in Amsterdam. Among them were an elephant, lions, tigers, monkeys, all kinds of birds, snakes etcetera, in total over a hundred animals. Van Aken was appointed as 'custos'. This appeared to be a failure, as he started drinking and did not look after the animals properly. In spite of all efforts of his wife together with the Society he had to be sacked only one and a half year later. Cornelis van Aken died in 1844, his animals were the foundation for the still existing Amsterdam Zoo 'Artis'.

    Abstract Background and objective: Contradictory pharmacokinetic (PK) results have been observed between obese adults and obese adolescents, with absolute clearance (CL) reported to be either unaltered, lower, or higher in obese adolescents compared to obese adults. This study investigates the PK of vancomycin in adolescents and adults who are overweight or obese.
    Methods: Data from 125 overweight and obese adolescents (aged 10-18 years, weight 28.3-188 kg) and 81 overweight and obese adults (aged 29-88 years, weight 66.7-143 kg) were analysed using population PK modelling. In addition to age, sex, renal function estimates, and regular weight descriptors, we evaluated standard weight (WT
    Results: Analyzing adolescents and adults together, vancomycin CL was found to increase with TBW and decrease with increasing age (p < 0.001). A covariate analysis investigating adolescents and adults separately found that vancomycin CL increased with WT
    Conclusion: There are apparent differences in vancomycin CL in overweight and obese adults versus overweight and obese adolescents, implying that dosing of vancomycin cannot be directly extrapolated between these populations.

    Abstract Introduction: Obesity is associated with many physiological changes. We review available evidence regarding five commonly accepted assumptions to
    Areas covered: The investigated assumptions are: 1) lean body weight is the preferred descriptor of clearance and dose adjustments; 2) volume of distribution increases for lipophilic, but not for hydrophilic drugs; 3) CYP-3A4 activity is suppressed and UGT activity is increased, implying decreased and increased dose requirements for substrates of these enzyme systems, respectively; 4) glomerular filtration rate is enhanced, necessitating higher doses for drugs cleared through glomerular filtration; 5) drug dosing information from obese adults can be extrapolated to obese adolescents.
    Expert opinion: Available literature contradicts, or at least limits the generalizability, of all five assumptions. Clinical studies should focus on quantifying the impact of duration and severity of obesity on drug PK in adults and adolescents, and also include oral bioavailability and pharmacodynamics in these studies. Physiologically based PK approaches can be used to predict PK changes for individual drugs but can also be used to define in general terms based on patient characteristics and drug properties, when certain assumptions can or cannot be expected to be systematically accurate.

    Abstract Abstract Moxidectin is a frontrunner drug candidate in the treatment of strongyloidiasis. A dose of 8 mg is recommended to treat this indication, which shows a reasonably good efficacy and tolerability profile. Yet, owing to the unique life cycle of Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) that entails internal autoinfection, a curative treatment would be desirable. Population‐based pharmacometric modeling that would help to identify an ideal dosing strategy are yet lacking. The aims of this study were to (i) explore the exposure‐efficacy response relationship of moxidectin in treating S. stercoralis and (ii) evaluate whether moxidectin treatment outcomes in terms of cure rates at baseline as compared to post‐treatment could be optimized. Our pharmacodynamic model suggests high predictive power (area under the concentration time curve‐receiver operating characteristic [AUC‐ROC] 0.817) in the probability of being cured by linking an exposure metric (i.e., AUC0‐24 or maximum concentration [Cmax]) to baseline infection intensity. Pharmacometric simulations indicate that with a minimum dose of 4 mg a maximum cure rate of ~ 95% is established in the low infection intensity group (larvae per gram [LPG] ≥0.4–1), whereas in the moderate‐to‐high intensity group (LPG >1) the cure rate plateaus at ~ 87%, following an 8 mg dose. To enhance efficacy further, studies using repeated dosing based on the duration of the autoinfection cycle, for example a two‐dose regimen 3 weeks apart should be considered. Simulations revealed similar Cmax in both treatment courses of a two‐dose regimen; hence safety should not be a concern. Collectively, our results provide evidence‐based guidance for enhanced dosing strategies and should be considered when designing future treatment strategies.

    Abstract Background and objective: The latest vancomycin guideline recommends area under the curve (AUC)-targeted dosing and monitoring for efficacy and safety. However, guidelines for AUC-targeted starting dosing in patients with obesity and/or renal insufficiency are currently lacking. This study quantifies the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vancomycin in this population and provides AUC-targeted dosing recommendations.
    Methods: Vancomycin concentrations (n = 1188) from therapeutic drug monitoring of 210 overweight and obese patients with varying degrees of renal (dys)function from the ward (74.8%) and intensive care unit (ICU, 25.2%) were pooled with published rich concentration-time data (n = 207) from 20 (morbidly) obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery. A population model was developed using NONMEM 7.4. Stochastic simulations were performed to design dosing guidelines targeting an AUC
    Results: Vancomycin clearance (CL) was found to increase linearly with total bodyweight and with renal function (CKD-EPI) in a power relation. Additionally, CL proved 15.5% lower in ICU patients. Our model shows that, to reach the target AUC between 400 and 600 mg·h/L in the first 48 h, two loading doses are required for both continuous infusion and intermittent dosing regimens. Maintenance doses were found to require adjustment for total bodyweight, renal function, and ICU admission status. With this guideline, the median AUC
    Conclusions: To achieve safe and effective vancomycin exposure for maintenance doses in overweight and obese patients, renal function, total bodyweight, and ICU admission status should be taken into account.
    Trial registration: The AMIGO trial was registered in the Dutch Trial Registry [NTR6058].
