Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of cardiovascular events and death with pravastatin in patients with coronary heart disease and a broad range of initial cholesterol levels

TL;DR: Pravastatin therapy reduced mortality from coronary heart disease and overall mortality, as compared with the rates in the placebo group, as well as the incidence of all prespecified cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina who had a broad range of initial cholesterol levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging Biology and Geriatric Clinical Pharmacology

TL;DR: A deficient therapeutic evidence base suggests that extrapolation of risk-benefit ratios from younger adults to geriatric populations is not necessarily valid, and therapeutic advances generally may convert healthy longevity from an asset of fortunate individuals into a general social benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

The aging liver. Drug clearance and an oxygen diffusion barrier hypothesis.

TL;DR: A review of age-related change in drug clearances established that patterns of change are not simply explained in terms of hepatic blood flow, hepatic mass and protein binding changes, and the reduction in clearances of high extraction drugs does correlate with observed reduction in hepatic perfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations in patients with liver disease. An update.

TL;DR: Clinical data are substantially consistent with the latter 2 theories, which regard the decreased permeability of the capillarised sinusoid as the critical feature in cirrhosis, and further work is required to determine the applicability of each of these theories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pesticides and Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The simplest mechanistic hypothesis for the association of pesticides with Parkinson's disease is that pesticides or their metabolites are directly toxic to mitochondria, although modulation of xenobiotic metabolism by pesticides provides an adjunct or alternative hypothesis.
