[Lung diseases and miscellaneous pathologies in the novels of François Mauriac and Pierre Benoit]
Abstract:
Two modern novelists of the 20th century native from the Landes, François Mauriac (1885-1970) and Pierre Benoit (1886-1962), were eager to locate a part of their novels in the French South-West. Beyond the silence and the torrid warmth of this "sand desert populated by pine trees", each of them make live, suffer and die their sick heroes from diseases treated with therapies of that time with the risk of voluntary or not drug misuse : tuberculosis, cardiac insufficiency, angina pectoris, puerperal and typhoid fevers and other diseases.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.

Drug Excretion: Miscellaneous Routes
Factors Affecting Drug Distribution: Miscellaneous Factors
Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...
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...
Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
