English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Since absorption rates, volumes of distribution and elimination rates differ greatly among the benzodiazepine derivatives... Two half-lives can be described : the alpha half-life, the rate of decline in plasma concentrations due to the process of drug redistribution from the central to the peripheral compartment, and the beta half-life, the rate of decline due to the process of drug elimination due to metabolism.

Key term(s)
  • alpha half life

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
  • Biochimie
CONT

Dexrazoxane chlorhydrate. [...] Demi-Vie. Après administration intraveineuse, la demi-vie d'élimination est biphasique : - la demi-vie alpha se situe entre 10 et 20 minutes, - la demi-vie bêta se situe entre 2 et 3 heures. Elle peut être allongée en cas d'insuffisance rénale.

Record 5 1998-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

The molecular basis of beta thalassemia in Lebanon has previously been studied in a sample of 25 homozygote individuals. The 25 individuals included in that study had all presented at the American University Hospital and, with the exception of one patient, were all of the Muslim religion. With the advent of PCR, new techniques for mutation screening have emerged, among them the Allele Refractory Mutation System(ARMS) based on allele-specific priming of the amplification reaction. We are currently applying this technique in our laboratory in order to screen a larger number of samples from heterozygote individuals, in an effort to complement the previous findings and study the distribution of mutations among different geographical regions and different religious groups...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

L'ARMS-PCR (amplification refractory mutation system) et la STR-PCR (single tandem repeat) occupent d'ores et déjà une place importante dans le diagnostic des maladies héréditaires et des cancers. Toutes les deux impliquent l'amplification par PCR de loci génomiques spécifiques grâce à l'utilisation d'amorces permettant de discriminer des mutations ponctuelles (ARMS-PCR) ou des répétitions en tandem localisées sur un locus particulier (STR-PCR).

OBS

Méthode d'analyse du génome à des fins diagnostiques.
