Food, gastrointestinal pH, and models of oral drug absorption

AY Abuhelwa, DB Williams, RN Upton… - European journal of …, 2017 - Elsevier
This article reviews the major physiological and physicochemical principles of the effect of
food and gastrointestinal (GI) pH on the absorption and bioavailability of oral drugs, and the …

Reduced intrathoracic blood volume and left and right ventricular dimensions in patients with severe emphysema: an MRI study

K Jörgensen, MF Müller, J Nel, RN Upton, E Houltz… - Chest, 2007 - Elsevier
Background Left ventricular (LV) filling is impaired in patients with severe emphysema
manifesting in small end-diastolic dimensions. We hypothesized that the hyperinflated lungs of …

The performance of compartmental and physiologically based recirculatory pharmacokinetic models for propofol: a comparison using bolus, continuous, and target …

K Masui, RN Upton, AG Doufas, JF Coetzee… - Anesthesia & …, 2010 - journals.lww.com

Cardiac output is a determinant of the initial concentrations of propofol after short-infusion administration

RN Upton, GL Ludbrook, C Grant… - Anesthesia & …, 1999 - journals.lww.com
Indicator dilution theory predicts that the first-pass pulmonary and systemic arterial
concentrations of a drug will be inversely related to the cardiac output. For high-clearance drugs, …

A quantitative review and meta-models of the variability and factors affecting oral drug absorption—part I: gastrointestinal pH

AY Abuhelwa, DJR Foster, RN Upton - The AAPS journal, 2016 - Springer
This study aimed to conduct a quantitative meta-analysis for the values of, and variability in,
gastrointestinal (GI) pH in the different GI segments; characterize the effect of food on the …

Pharmacokinetic optimisation of opioid treatment in acute pain therapy

RN Upton, TJ Semple, PE Macintyre - Clinical pharmacokinetics, 1997 - Springer
Traditionally, opioids have been administered as fixed doses at fixed dose intervals. This
approach has been largely ineffective. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and upgraded …

Organ weights and blood flows of sheep and pig for physiological pharmacokinetic modelling

RN Upton - Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods, 2008 - Elsevier
INTRODUCTION: Physiological approaches to pharmacokinetic analysis require data on
organ sizes and organ blood flows for a given species. An internally consistent compilation of …
