Clinical Response to Aminoglycoside Therapy: Importance of the Ratio of Peak Concentration to Minimal Inhibitory Concentration
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a high peak concentration relative to the MIC for the infecting organism is a major determinant of the clinical response to aminoglycoside therapy.

TL;DR: In a prospective, randomised, double-blind trial to determine if cephalothin plus an aminoglycoside is more nephrotoxic than methicillin plus an isinogly coside, patients were assigned to one of four treatment groups: cep Halothin and gentamicin (C.G. and M.T.) or methicilllin and tobramycin (M.T.); there was no statistically significant difference between these groups.

Concentrations of Gentamicin and Amikacin in Human Kidneys
TL;DR: Gentamicin and amikacin are concentrated in renal cortical and medullary tissue, and tissue levels were high in patients with both normal and abnormal renal function.

Effect of low-dose alcohol use versus abstention on apolipoproteins A-I and B.
TL;DR: An eight-week prospective randomized clinical trial of abstention versus low-dose alcohol consumption was conducted in white men, aged 21 to 60 years, most of whom were patients of a preventive cardiology program, and an effect on apolipoprotein A-I suggests a possible mechanism by which low- dose alcohol may lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity and auditory toxicity
TL;DR: It is concluded that aminoglycoside-induced auditory toxicity and nephrotoxicity are independent events when the drug is administered for approximately 7 days and when aminglycoside levels are maintained within a predefined range.
