Update of Antibiotic Therapy of Brucellosis

Currently, the only option for treating brucellosis is antibiotics especially to prevent complications. In this chapter, we want to talk about the drug therapy in brucellosis and the update of these therapies in the last years. Also, we will expose the principal antibiotics in brucellosis such as doxycycline, rifampin, streptomycin, cotrimoxazole (TMP/SMX), and gentamicin by talking about each one of their mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, administration, risk assessment, adverse effects, and principal drug interactions. Furthermore, we will add the evidence of efficacy therapy in monotherapy or combinate therapy based on the evidence

New therapies in osteoporosis

11 páginasOsteoporosis is a skeletal system pathology characterised by low bone mineral density and tissue structural deterioration. This condition is associated with high fracture risk that severely compromises quality of life. Osteoporosis incidence is becoming more significant with increasing lifespan worldwide. Novel treatment strategies have been developed that aim to inhibit excessive bone resorption and/or increase bone formation. The most promising novel treatments include: denosumab, a monoclonal antibody for receptor activator of NF-κB ligand, a key osteoclast cytokine; odanacatib, a specific inhibitor of the osteoclast protease cathepsin K; and antibodies against the proteins sclerostin, GKS-3b and dickkopf-1, two endogenous inhibitors of bone formation. This review discusses these new therapies.La osteoporosis es una patología que afecta el sistema esquelético y se caracteriza por una baja densidad mineral ósea y un deterioro estructural del tejido óseo. Esta enfermedad está asociada con un alto riesgo de fracturas que comprometen seriamente la calidad de vida. La incidencia de osteoporosis es actualmente mayor debido al aumento de la esperanza de vida en el mundo. Numerosas investigaciones con respecto a nuevas estrategias de tratamiento han sido desarrolladas y tienen como objetivo inhibir la resorción ósea excesiva o aumentar la formación de hueso. Entre los tratamientos más prometedores están denosumab, un anticuerpo monoclonal que ejerce su acción contra el activador del receptor del ligando NF-kappa B, una citoquina clave de los osteoclastos; odanacatib, un inhibidor específico de la proteasa catepsina K de los osteoclastos; y anticuerpos monoclonales contra las proteínas antiesclerostina, la glucógeno sintasa quinasa-3b y dickkopf-1, dos inhibidores endógenos de la formación de hueso. En esta revisión se analizan y se revisan los conceptos actuales de las nuevas terapias
