Valium - Clinical Pharmacology. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that exerts anxiolytic, sedative, muscle- relaxant, anticonvulsant and amnestic effects. Most of these effects are thought to result from a facilitation of the action of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Pharmacokinetics. Absorption. After oral administration > 9. Absorption is delayed and decreased when administered with a moderate fat meal. In the presence of food mean lag times are approximately 4.
There is also an increase in the average time to achieve peak concentrations to about 2. This results in an average decrease in Cmax of 2. AUC (range 1. 5% to 5. Distribution. Diazepam and its metabolites are highly bound to plasma proteins (diazepam 9. Diazepam and its metabolites cross the blood- brain and placental barriers and are also found in breast milk in concentrations approximately one tenth of those in maternal plasma (days 3 to 9 post- partum). In young healthy males, the volume of distribution at steady- state is 0. L/kg. The decline in the plasma concentration- time profile after oral administration is biphasic. The initial distribution phase has a half- life of approximately 1 hour, although it may range up to > 3 hours. Metabolism. Diazepam is N- demethylated by CYP3. A4 and 2. C1. 9 to the active metabolite N- desmethyldiazepam, and is hydroxylated by CYP3. A4 to the active metabolite temazepam. N- desmethyldiazepam and temazepam are both further metabolized to oxazepam. Temazepam and oxazepam are largely eliminated by glucuronidation. Elimination. The initial distribution phase is followed by a prolonged terminal elimination phase (half- life up to 4. The terminal elimination half- life of the active metabolite N- desmethyldiazepam is up to 1. Diazepam and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine, predominantly as their glucuronide conjugates. The clearance of diazepam is 2. L/min in young adults. Diazepam accumulates upon multiple dosing and there is some evidence that the terminal elimination half- life is slightly prolonged. Pharmacokinetics in Special Populations. Children. In children 3 - 8 years old the mean half- life of diazepam has been reported to be 1. Newborns. In full term infants, elimination half- lives around 3. In both premature and full term infants the active metabolite desmethyldiazepam shows evidence of continued accumulation compared to children. Longer half- lives in infants may be due to incomplete maturation of metabolic pathways. Geriatric. Elimination half- life increases by approximately 1 hour for each year of age beginning with a half- life of 2. This appears to be due to an increase in volume of distribution with age and a decrease in clearance. Consequently, the elderly may have lower peak concentrations, and on multiple dosing higher trough concentrations. It will also take longer to reach steady- state. Conflicting information has been published on changes of plasma protein binding in the elderly. Reported changes in free drug may be due to significant decreases in plasma proteins due to causes other than simply aging. Hepatic Insufficiency. In mild and moderate cirrhosis, average half- life is increased. The average increase has been variously reported from 2- fold to 5- fold, with individual half- lives over 5. There is also an increase in volume of distribution, and average clearance decreases by almost half. Mean half- life is also prolonged with hepatic fibrosis to 9. In chronic active hepatitis, clearance is decreased by almost half. INDICATIONSValium is indicated for the management of anxiety disorders or for the short- term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic. In acute alcohol withdrawal, Valium may be useful in the symptomatic relief of acute agitation, tremor, impending or acute delirium tremens and hallucinosis. Valium is a useful adjunct for the relief of skeletal muscle spasm due to reflex spasm to local pathology (such as inflammation of the muscles or joints, or secondary to trauma), spasticity caused by upper motor neuron disorders (such as cerebral palsy and paraplegia), athetosis, and stiff- man syndrome. Oral Valium may be used adjunctively in convulsive disorders, although it has not proved useful as the sole therapy. The effectiveness of Valium in long- term use, that is, more than 4 months, has not been assessed by systematic clinical studies. The physician should periodically reassess the usefulness of the drug for the individual patient. Contraindications. Valium is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to diazepam and, because of lack of sufficient clinical experience, in pediatric patients under 6 months of age. Valium is also contraindicated in patients with myasthenia gravis, severe respiratory insufficiency, severe hepatic insufficiency, and sleep apnea syndrome. It may be used in patients with open- angle glaucoma who are receiving appropriate therapy, but is contraindicated in acute narrow- angle glaucoma. Warnings. Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, including Valium, and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Because of these risks, reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. Observational studies have demonstrated that concomitant use of opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines increases the risk of drug- related mortality compared to use of opioids alone. If a decision is made to prescribe Valium concomitantly with opioids, prescribe the lowest effective dosages and minimum durations of concomitant use, and follow patients closely for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation. In patients already receiving an opioid analgesic, prescribe a lower initial dose of Valium than indicated in the absence of an opioid and titrate based on clinical response. If an opioid is initiated in a patient already taking Valium, prescribe a lower initial dose of the opioid and titrate based upon clinical response. Advise both patients and caregivers about the risks of respiratory depression and sedation when Valium is used with opioids. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the effects of concomitant use with the opioid have been determined (see Drug Interactions). Valium is not recommended in the treatment of psychotic patients and should not be employed instead of appropriate treatment. Since Valium has a central nervous system depressant effect, patients should be advised against the simultaneous ingestion of alcohol and other CNS- depressant drugs during Valium therapy. As with other agents that have anticonvulsant activity, when Valium is used as an adjunct in treating convulsive disorders, the possibility of an increase in the frequency and/or severity of grand mal seizures may require an increase in the dosage of standard anticonvulsant medication. Abrupt withdrawal of Valium in such cases may also be associated with a temporary increase in the frequency and/or severity of seizures. Pregnancy. An increased risk of congenital malformations and other developmental abnormalities associated with the use of benzodiazepine drugs during pregnancy has been suggested. There may also be non- teratogenic risks associated with the use of benzodiazepines during pregnancy. There have been reports of neonatal flaccidity, respiratory and feeding difficulties, and hypothermia in children born to mothers who have been receiving benzodiazepines late in pregnancy. In addition, children born to mothers receiving benzodiazepines on a regular basis late in pregnancy may be at some risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms during the postnatal period. Diazepam has been shown to be teratogenic in mice and hamsters when given orally at daily doses of 1. Cleft palate and encephalopathy are the most common and consistently reported malformations produced in these species by administration of high, maternally toxic doses of diazepam during organogenesis. Rodent studies have indicated that prenatal exposure to diazepam doses similar to those used clinically can produce long- term changes in cellular immune responses, brain neurochemistry, and behavior. In general, the use of diazepam in women of childbearing potential, and more specifically during known pregnancy, should be considered only when the clinical situation warrants the risk to the fetus. The possibility that a woman of childbearing potential may be pregnant at the time of institution of therapy should be considered. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Patients should also be advised that if they become pregnant during therapy or intend to become pregnant they should communicate with their physician about the desirability of discontinuing the drug.

Pub. Med search. It oxidizes small foreign organic molecules (xenobiotics), such as toxins or drugs, so that they can be removed from the body. While many drugs are deactivated by CYP3. A4, there are also some drugs which are activated by the enzyme. Some substances, such as grapefruit juice and some drugs, interfere with the action of CYP3. A4. These substances will therefore either amplify or weaken the action of those drugs that are modified by CYP3. A4. CYP3. A4 is a member of the cytochrome P4. Several other members of this family are also involved in drug metabolism, but CYP3. A4 is the most common and the most versatile one. Like all members of this family, it is a hemoprotein, i. In humans, the CYP3. A4 protein is encoded by the CYP3. A4gene. The cytochrome P4. The CYP3. A4 protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, and its expression is induced by glucocorticoids and some pharmacological agents. This enzyme is involved in the metabolism of approximately half the drugs that are used today, including acetaminophen, codeine, ciclosporin (cyclosporin), diazepam, and erythromycin. The enzyme also metabolizes some steroids and carcinogens. Also, many substances are bioactivated by CYP3. A4 to form their active compounds, and many protoxins being toxicated into their toxic forms (for examples - see table below). CYP3. A4 also possesses epoxygenase activity in that it metabolizes arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), i. CYP3. A4 promotes the growth of various types of human cancer cell lines in culture by producing (. CYP3. A4 is absent in fetal liver but increases to approximately 4. CYP3. A4 in the intestine plays an important role in the metabolism of certain drugs. Often this allows prodrugs to be activated and absorbed - as in the case of the histamine H1- receptor antagonistterfenadine. Recently CYP3. A4 has also been identified in the brain, however its role in the central nervous system is still unknown. These include hydroxylation, epoxidation of olefins, aromatic oxidation, heteroatom oxidations, N- and O- dealkylation reactions, aldehyde oxidations, dehydrogenation reactions, and aromatase activity. The first published report on grapefruit drug interactions was in 1. Lancet entitled . The effects of grapefruit last from 3–7 days, with the greatest effects when juice is taken an hour previous to administration of the drug. It can be supposed that this may be due to the induction of CYP3. A4 on exposure to substrates. CYP3. A4 alleles which have been reported to have minimal function compared to wild- type include CYP3. A4*6 (an A1. 77. 76 insertion) and CYP3. A4*1. 7 (F1. 89. S). Both of these SNPs led to decreased catalytic activity with certain ligands, including testosterone and nifedipine in comparison to wild- type metabolism. The ERMBT estimates in vivo CYP3. A4 activity by measuring the radiolabelled carbon dioxide exhaled after an intravenous dose of (1. C- N- methyl)- erythromycin. These ligands bind to the pregnane X receptor (PXR). The activated PXR complex forms a heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor (RXR), which binds to the XREM region of the CYP3. A4 gene. XREM is a regulatory region of the CYP3. A4 gene, and binding causes a cooperative interaction with proximal promoter regions of the gene, resulting in increased transcription and expression of CYP3. A4. Activation of the PXR/RXR heterodimer initiates transcription of the CYP3. A4 promoter region and gene. Ligand binding increases when in the presence of CYP3. A4 ligands, such as in the presence of aflatoxin B1, M1, and G1. Indeed, due to the enzyme’s large and malleable active site, it is possible for the enzyme to bind multiple ligands at once, leading to potentially detrimental side effects. Evidence shows an increased drug clearance by CYP3. A4 in women, even when accounting for differences in body weight. A study by Wobold et al. CYP3. A4 m. RNA transcripts were found in similar proportions, suggesting a pre- translational mechanism for the up- regulation of CYP3. A4 in women. The exact cause of this elevated level of enzyme in women is still under speculation, however studies have elucidated other mechanisms (such as CYP3. A5 or CYP3. A7 compensation for lowered levels of CYP3. A4) that affect drug clearance in both men and women. Certain ligands activate human PXR, which promotes CYP3. A4 transcription, while showing no activation in other species. For instance, mouse PXR is not activated by rifampicin and human PXR is not activated by pregnenalone 1. Although humanized h. CYP3. A4 mice successfully expressed the enzyme in their intestinal tract, low levels of h. CYP3. A4 were found in the liver. Indeed, in fatheaded minnows, unfed female fish were shown to have increased PXR and CYP3. A4 expression, and displayed a more pronounced response to xenobiotic factors after exposure after several days of starvation. For hepatic CYP3. A4, in vivo methods yield estimates of enzyme half- life mainly in the range of 7. Co- crystallization is difficult since the substrates tend to have a low Kd (between 5- 1. In addition to LSPR, CYP3. A4- Nanodisc complexes have been found helpful in other applications including solid- state NMR, redox potentiometry, and steady- state enzyme kinetics. Where classes of agents are listed, there may be exceptions within the class. Inhibitors of CYP3. A4 can be classified by their potency, such as: Strong inhibitor being one that causes at least a 5- fold increase in the plasma AUC values, or more than 8. European Journal of Biochemistry / FEBS.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty – A New Weight Loss Option – Weight Loss Surgery News. A new treatment method known as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is showing promise as a minimally invasive, safe and cost- effective weight loss intervention for patients with obesity. The procedure involves minimally invasive techniques of endoscopy, a non- surgical method gastroenterologists use to examine a person’s digestive tract. An endoscopic suturing device is used to put in a set of sutures that get pulled and tightened to bring the section of stomach tissue together. The patient is put under general anesthesia for the procedure, which takes about 2 hours, then moved into the recovery room. After a few hours, patients go home and can return to their normal lifestyle within one to three days. The procedure mimics the anatomical changes of a surgical sleeve gastrectomy, but avoids the surgical risks and nutrient deficiencies associated with other types of bariatric surgery. The stomach restriction helps the patient eat less, and combined with diet and exercise, gives them the ability to lose weight. It is done for people who want to lose an extra 4. More than 4. 00 procedures have been done in the United States and Europe. It is currently done in only a few centers in the United States; the major provider is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where researchers are investigating the procedure. Clinical Trials. In 2. Mayo Clinic researchers completed a small pilot study that demonstrated the safety and feasibility of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty as a treatment for obesity. The results of this study were published in the September 2. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. A second study was designed to further study the metabolic effects of the procedure. The results of this study were recently published online in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. This study involved 2.

It was also shown that the procedure delayed solid food emptying from the stomach, created an earlier feeling of fullness during a meal, and significantly reduced body weight. Lead study author Barham K. Abu Dayyeh, MD, MPH, from the department of gastroenterology and hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN., said: “Given the low use of bariatric surgery and limited effectiveness of lifestyle changes and drug treatments, a significant gap exists in our current approach to obesity. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty offers an effective weight loss intervention at lower cost and higher patient satisfaction, potentially filling this gap in the management of obesity.”Researchers at the Mayo Clinic believe endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty could be an alternative to bariatric surgery for selected patients with obesity. The next step is to confirm the findings of this study in a larger patient population in randomized controlled studies with longer follow- up.

Physicists who aren’t afraid to study quantum mechanics and multidimensional physics have found strong evidence that the Universe we live in is electrical and holographic in nature. In other words, physical reality is like a giant hologram that seems to stretch for eternity. Once you understand the relationship between matter and energy and that material things are nothing more than projections of energy or holographic projections, then you should start to see how quantum healing technology and digital medicine can heal your body. Understanding How Energy Healing Works. When you break matter down to the atomic level and beyond, it is made of only energy. Everything you see in the material realm is actually energy that has transformed or projected itself into a material object. Each object has its own unique frequency signatures that work similar to a fingerprint. This allows your subconscious to differentiate an object from another object. In the case of herbs, by studying and utilizing their healing frequency signatures, scientists can use advanced healing devices to transmit these healing frequencies into the body. The body will then act like it is actually receiving the healing chemicals of herbs. The core structures that matter is built upon has an original blueprint that tells matter how to act at its fundamental levels. However, this original blueprint can become imbalanced due to certain things that can cause its structures to become distorted. In the case of the human body, negative thoughts and actions, and living an unhealthy lifestyle can cause the original blueprint of the human body to be distorted, causing health, emotional and mental problems. To truly heal your body, you need to heal yourself not just at the physical level, but also at the energy level. The energy structures that make up your body contain energy codes that operate similar to the codes embedded in DNA. When these codes aren’t working properly, you become susceptible to diseases and health conditions. Unfortunately, conventional medicine doesn’t have the ability to fix the distortions in the energy codes of your energy or light bodies. However, new discoveries in digital medicine and quantum healing technology may be able to fix some of these distortions. The Healing Potential of Digital Medicine and Quantum Healing Technology. If created correctly, the codes of digital medicine combined with quantum programming can be downloaded into a special card or a regular cellphone and be used to send healing energy codes into the body to stimulant its healing mechanism. This is just one of the many applications that digital medicine can be used to heal diseases. Quantum technology may seem like science fiction to most of us, but the NSA and CIA have been tinkering with it for decades. If you want evidence of this, read this informative article. Curing Disease Beyond Conventional Medicine. Some of the things that govern the process of manifesting energy into matter are the energy codes embedded in energy or consciousness. If physicists can find a way to directly affect these energy codes, they can alter the perception of reality to a certain point and cure diseases at their core. This is what some scientists in the field of digital medicine are trying to achieve. If scientists could perfect the art of quantum digital medicine and use it in harmony with nature, healing cancer, AIDs and other “incurable diseases” would become a reality. This advanced energy- based technology can also be used to reduce air pollution, clean toxic waste, increase longevity, stimulate the growth of lost limbs and so much more. The problem with digital medicine is that it does not harmonize well with the organic codes of the human body due to the fact that it uses digital codes instead of natural codes. Because of this, digital medicine should not be used to holistically heal the body. Donate to Help Make a Difference. Energy. Fanatics.

Today, I’d like to get a few things off my chest that have been bothering me for a while, namely the greed and abuse of consumers credibility of many companies that are selling outrageously expensive products for their so- called “anti- oxidant” power. I’m going to first crush a few obvious . For almost a year, I was involved in one such company, selling “premium dog food”, believe it or not! So I got a lot of insights into the world of “network marketing.” While it’s certain that there are many good companies that operate under this model, there’s definitely also a whole lot of bad ones. When I first joined this MLM (Multi- Level Network) company, the big guru told us that MLM was the future of the world. That in ten years 8. Generally, the products they sell are very high- priced. Unless you actually join as a distributor, you literally pay several times the actual market value of the product. I’ve also found that while there are a few good MLM companies with good products, most companies are selling suspect items to gullible consumers. Many of these products have actually very little value, and are 9. Of course, they always have a cute little story to back it up. How the founder of the company had a “vision” and a “dream” to improve the nutrition of the entire world, and how he founded his company to fulfill his higher mission. I particularly like how they talk about this one . This fruit is not related to the “mango”. When I was in Bali, I ate mangosteens by the kilo, and they were very inexpensive. In Asia, the mangosteen is regarded the “queen of the fruit” for its delicate taste. Xango sells their mangosteen juice as a “miracle cure”. Actually, what they sell is some mangosteen product mixed with the juices of about eight other fruits.

A nutritious balanced diet is a key to good health. A healthy diet could treat weight loss or weight gain issues and restore one to be healthy. This post reflects my professional opinion on The Body By Vi Challenge. I encourage you to research it for yourself and form your own opinion from other sites as well.And at $3. 2. 5. 0 per bottle, this fruit juice better be good! Actually, if you start to believe their marketing literature, this juice is nothing short of a miracle cure. According to Xango, there are more than 2. Supposedly, we should drink their juices because of “xanthones”, a “powerful antixidant” that “may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system.”However since they don’t have any serious research to back this claim up, Xango adds this disclaimer as a footnote: “These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease”. Xango is in the business for the bux. Anyone who knows network marketing knows how the system works. Independent distributors are selling the products but mainly recruiting other distributors in order to get a percentage off their sales. Generally the motivated network marketer will aggressively sell the products to his own friends, relatives and neighbors.(I remember when I was in this “dog food” company and I phoned the entire list of names from my high school year, in order to pitch them the dog food product!)With this system, the more distributors a person can recruit, the more money they can make. And the company itself provides all of the marketing material they need to generate as much buzz as possible. Like all similar products sold through the same kind of system, Xango has some kind of resemblance of scientific truth that they exaggerate to the extreme to sell their product. Many of their claims are completely exaggerated and unsubstantiated. For a neutral perspective on Xango, read the Wikipedia page on the subject: http: //en. Xan. Go. Countless Other Products. The marketing, the claims, and the suspicious research behind Xango’s success resembles mysteriously to a lot of other similar products we’ve seen marketed over the last few years. I’m referring to: – Noni fruit juice– Goji Berry juice– Aloe Vera juice. The same story here, the same scam, with a different product. Kidney Stones in Children What Are Staghorn Calculi?

Love Spells and Spell Kits to help you find--and keep--your true love. Absolutely guaranteed! In fact, I’ve found that both the Chief Financial Officer AND the president of Xango worked previously for Tahitian Noni International, another company selling their own miracle cure. When I look at a $3. I can’t help to laugh and think to myself, “what kind of idiot would spend that kind of money (plus shipping) for a bottle of fruit juice”Let’s not forget what these companies are after. A few years ago, more than one person wanted to take advantage of my “big mailing list” to sign me up as a Xango distributor. They tried to convince me that I would make “so much money” if I used the power of my mailing list to sell this product, and recruit other distributors. I didn’t consider for a single second to do that and never gave replied to those requests (one came from a friend of mine). What’s interesting is that everyone who came to me to tell me about mangosteen juice spent more time to explain how much money I could make with it, rather than try to convince me it was a really good product. It’s almost as if the product is irrelevant, as long as the rest is in place. Some Anti- Oxidant Rich Foods: Cheap Alternatives. Okay, now that I feel a little better to have expressed my truth about this mangosteen juice, let me give you some quick tips that these companies certainly don’t want you to know. Berries — Berries are by far the one of the richest sources of antioxidants, particularly wild blueberry. I suggest having as many berries as you can. Plus they are particularly enjoyable to eat. When wild blueberries are in season, freeze them in ridiculous quantities and use them throughout the year. Pomegranate Juice — Pomegranate Juice is a very high source of cancer- fighting anti- oxidants. You can either purchase fresh pomegranates and make the juice yourself, or purchase pomegranate concentrate (which is still a high source of anti- oxidants). The good thing is that even a big jug of pomegranate juice will only cost you about $7, so 5 times less than the mangosteen juice (which is made mostly with other juices). And best of all, you can find it in most health food stores. OnJuice offers cold pressed, juices, cleanses and smoothies for weightloss, detox, and overall health all made with fresh daily with healthy ingredients. Prunes — According to recent studies, prunes rank really high on the . Greens contain more nutrition than any other foods! For the full story, sign up for the Green for Life Program (http: //www. Mangosteen . They are very delicious. You can find them in many Asian markets. Even at $5 a pound, you’re still going to get a better deal than you would get on the Xango juice. And if you ever travel to Costa Rica in September, or Asia in the winter, you’ll get all of the mangosteens you can eat, at dirt cheap prices. In a future issue, I’ll go deeper into this fascinating topic of anti- oxidants. Know that next week, for less than the price of two bottle of mangosteen juice (I think I’ll start talking like that for a while. Sign up at: http: //www. |
