Radionuclide-fluorescence Reporter Gene Imaging to Track Tumor Progression in Rodent Tumor Models10:04

Radionuclide-fluorescence Reporter Gene Imaging to Track Tumor Progression in Rodent Tumor Models

12.5K
We describe a protocol for preclinical in vivo tracking of cancer metastasis. It is based on a radionuclide-fluorescence reporter combining the sodium iodide symporter, detected by non-invasive [18F]tetrafluoroborate-PET, and a fluorescent protein for streamlined ex vivo confirmation. The method is applicable for preclinical in vivo cell tracking beyond tumor...

Dose Size and Dosing Frequency: Determination Methods

279
Determining the optimal dose size and dosing frequency in pharmacotherapy is crucial for achieving therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing adverse effects. This article explores the methodologies employed in determining these parameters, focusing on their significance and interplay to tailor dosing regimens.Dose Size: Dose size refers to the amount of a drug administered in a single dose. It is determined based on the drug's pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics properties and...

Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Loading and Maintenance Doses

228
A loading dose is an essential pharmacological strategy to rapidly achieve the target plasma drug concentration necessary for an immediate therapeutic effect. This approach is especially critical for drugs characterized by slow absorption or extended half-lives, where delaying therapeutic plasma levels could compromise treatment outcomes. By administering a loading dose, clinicians ensure a prompt onset of drug action, even for agents with complex pharmacokinetic profiles.Achieving steady-state...

Rational Dosage Regimen: Maintenance Dose and Loading Dose

5.4K
A rational dosage regimen considers a drug's pharmacokinetics, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination from the body. By understanding these factors, the appropriate dosage can be determined, and the dosing schedule can be designed to achieve and maintain the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects.
In most cases, drugs are administered repetitively or infused continuously to maintain a steady-state concentration in the body. At a steady...

Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy: A Method for Targeted Delivery of Therapeutic Radionuclides to Tumors

1.6K
This video describes the technique of pretargeted radioimmunotherapy or PRIT, in which immunoconjugates followed by radioligands are administered for treating tumors. This radioimmunotherapy reduces radiation doses to healthy tissues and utilizes radionuclides with very low half-lives incompatible with antibody-based...
