  2. Article: Treatment of heart failure according to William Stokes: the enchanted mercury.

    Abstract Background: It was not until 1919 that the diuretic properties of mercury were observed in patients with syphilis; in the same year the beneficial effects of mercurial diuretics were shown in a patient with severe rheumatic heart disease and anasarca. However, mercury had been used much earlier for the treatment of dropsy without clear guidelines. In this article we describe William Stokes' insights into the treatment of heart failure, focusing on the beneficial diuretic properties of mercury.
    Methods: We reviewed the chapter "Treatment of the Weak and Probably Dilated Heart in Connexion With Enlargement of the Liver and Pulmonary Disease" in William Stokes' famous treatise The Diseases of the Heart and the Aorta.
    Conclusions: Stokes makes several important clinical observations. First, he provides precise guidelines on when and how to use mercury in these patients. Second, he realizes the importance of mercury for the treatment of decompensated heart failure. Stokes recognizes the cyclical nature of frequent decompensation in congestive heart failure, the relationship of clinical deterioration and reduced urine output, and the importance of reestablishing urinary flow to ameliorate dyspnea. Third, he attempts to define the mechanism of action "... if any of the characteristic action of mercury can be perceived unless we include diuresis." Finally, he gives interesting guidelines on the dosage and side effects of mercury. These observations on the treatment of "congestive" heart failure are an important contribution to the understanding of heart failure pathophysiology and the design of prescription regimens for this disease.

    Abstract Slow transit constipation (STC) has an estimated prevalence of 2-4% of the general population, and although it is the least prevalent of the chronic constipation phenotypes, it more commonly causes refractory symptoms and is associated with significant psychosocial stress, poor quality of life, and high healthcare costs. This review provides an overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management options in STC. STC occurs due to colonic dysmotility and is thought to be a neuromuscular disorder of the colon. Several pathophysiologic features have been observed in STC, including reduced contractions on manometry, delayed emptying on transit studies, reduced numbers of interstitial cells of Cajal on histology, and reduced amounts of excitatory neurotransmitters within myenteric plexuses. The underlying aetiology is uncertain, but autoimmune and hormonal mechanisms have been hypothesised. Diagnosing STC may be challenging, and there is substantial overlap with the other clinical constipation phenotypes. Prior to making a diagnosis of STC, other primary constipation phenotypes and secondary causes of constipation need to be ruled out. An assessment of colonic transit time is required for the diagnosis and can be performed by a number of different methods. There are several different management options for constipation, including lifestyle, dietary, pharmacologic, interventional, and surgical. The effectiveness of the available therapies in STC differs from that of the other constipation phenotypes, and prokinetics often make up the mainstay for those who fail standard laxatives. There are few available management options for patients with medically refractory STC, but patients may respond well to surgical intervention. STC is a common condition associated with a significant burden of disease. It can present a clinical challenge, but a structured approach to the diagnosis and management can be of great value to the clinician. There are many therapeutic options available, with some having more benefits than others.

    Abstract Distributed and point-of-care (POC) manufacturing facilities enable an agile pharmaceutical production paradigm that can respond to localized needs, providing personalized and precision medicine. These capabilities are critical for narrow therapeutic index drugs and pediatric or geriatric dosing, among other specialized needs. Advanced additive manufacturing, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and drop-on-demand (DoD) dispensing technologies have begun to expand into pharmaceutical production. We employed a quality by design (QbD) approach to identify critical quality attributes (CQAs), critical material attributes (CMAs), and critical process parameters (CPPs) of a POC pharmaceutical manufacturing paradigm. This theoretical framework encompasses the production of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) "inks" at a centralized facility, which are distributed to POC sites for DoD dispensing into/onto delivery vehicles (
