Abstract:
A bibliometric study of the output of Spanish scientific research into antimicrobial and antiparasitic chemotherapy was carried out, based on articles published in the Spanish Journal of Chemotherapy from 1996 to 2000. The 20 issues of the journal corresponding to the 5-year period studied were analyzed using the main indicators for bibliometry: article typology; output; Bradford's Law and Lotka's estimation; collaboration index; institutional origin; geographic location; subject; and advertising. The majority of the articles were original, and a small group of high-output authors and an appropriate level of contribution were identified. The greatest percentage of scientific output was from the autonomous regions of Madrid and Valencia. The majority of studies included in the analysis were hospital-based and the most researched topic was antimicrobial drugs. A reduction in the amount of advertising was noted.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Noncompartmental Analysis: Miscellaneous Pharmacokinetic Parameters
One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's overall...
