Posology is the branch of pharmacology dealing with drug doses. The dose is the amount of a drug administered to a patient with the goal of producing the optimal therapeutic effect with the lowest possible dose. Several factors can influence the appropriate drug dose for a patient, including their age, body weight, health conditions, and other drugs being taken. The route of administration also impacts the dose, as intravenous delivery puts the full dose directly into the bloodstream.

The science of dosage or posology (from Greek posos, how much, and logos, study) is a branch of pharmacology and therapeutics concerned with ‘treatment dosage’ and ‘dosage regimen’. Establishing optimum dosage underpins every clinical development plan for novel therapeutic candidates. Failure to select the adequate drug dose is a leading culprit for regulatory delays or denial of initial applications for new drugs and, more generally, inadequate dose selection contributes to the high attrition rate of pivotal clinical trials.

Before prescribing any pharmaceutical medicine, the physician should consider certain factors that can modify the effect of the drug. The same dose of a drug can produce different degrees of response in different patients and even in the same patient under different situations. The Important factors modify the effect of a drug are subdivided into two groups: patient related factors and drug related factors.
• Patient related factors: age, gender, body weight, presence of food, drug allergy, genetic variation, environmental state, pathological state, psychological state, etc.
• Drug related factors: physical state of a drug, route of drug administration, time of drug administration, drug cumulation, drug combination, drug tolerance, drug dependence, etc.
Pharma cokinetics of drugs assignment helpNicole Valerio
This assignment is aiming to identify and discuss pharma cokinetics of drugs given to a patient suffering from asthma, GERD and hypothyroidism. Case study is already been given, drugs given to the patient are protonix, synthroid and metaclopromide.
General prescribing guidelines for pediatrics and geriatrics ensure safe and effective medication use in these specific populations. For pediatrics, considerations such as weight-based dosing, age-appropriate formulations, and monitoring of organ function are crucial. Geriatric prescribing involves accounting for physiological changes, comorbidities, and potential drug interactions due to polypharmacy. Individualized treatment, medication reconciliation, and deprescribing play important roles in optimizing medication regimens for older adults. Pharmacists and interdisciplinary collaboration are vital in providing comprehensive care and promoting medication safety and adherence.
Interaction between the food and drugs have a high effect on the success of treatment patients and on the side effects of drugs . the interaction not in all cases is bad but sometimes can improve the absorption and decrease the side effect. grapefruits interaction has received very high attention recently. Consequently, the presence of food in the digestive tract may reduce absorption of a drug. Often, such interactions can be avoided by taking the drug 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. Like drugs, foods are not tested as comprehensively so they may interact with prescription or over the-counter drugs. therefor it is advisable for patients to follow the doctor and specialists’ guidelines to acquire greatest advantages with least food tranquilize cooperation.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. posology
▪ Derived from the Greek word Posos-how much, and logos-science
is the branch of pharmacology dealing with doses.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
3. Dose
▪ It Is the quantitative amount administered or taken by a patient for
the intended medicinal effect.
▪ The idea being to produce the optimum therapeutic effect in a
particular patient with the lowest possible dose.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
4. Factors affecting the drug dose
▪ Age
▪ 2. Body Weight
▪ 3. Body Surface Area
▪ 4. Sex
▪ 5. Pathological State
▪ 6. Tolerance
▪ 7. Drug-Drug Interactions
▪ 8. Time Of administration
▪ 9. Route Of Administration
▪ 10. Pharmaceutical dosage form and drug physical state
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology. Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton.
5. Age
▪ The decline in renal and hepatic function in the elderly (geriatric)
may slow drug clearance and increases the possibility of drug
accumulation in the body and subsequent toxicity.
▪ Elderly individuals may also respond abnormally to the usual
amount of a drug because of changes in drug-receptor sensitivity
or because of age-related alterations in target tissues and organs.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
6. Body weight
▪ The official usual doses for drugs are considered suitable for 70 kg
(150 pounds) individuals.
▪ The ratio between the amount of drug administered and the size of
the body influences the drug concentration at the site of action.
Therefore, drug dosage may require adjustment from the usual
adult dose for abnormally lean or obese patients.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
7. sex
▪ Women are more susceptible to the effects of certain drugs than
are men.
▪ Pregnant women and nursing mothers should use medications
only with the advise and under the guidance of their physician.
▪ Examples of drugs that are transported from the maternal to the
fetal circulation e.g. alcohol, anesthetic gases, barbiturates,
anticoagulants, etc.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
8. Pathological state
▪ The effects of certain drugs may be modified by the pathological
condition of the patient and must be considered in determining
the dose.
▪ Warning and precautions are used in the drug labeling to alert the
physician to certain restrictions in the use of a particular drug.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
9. precaution
▪ used to advise the prescriber of some possible problems attendant
with the use of the drug. It is less restrictive than warning. Ex: The
use of tetracycline antibiotic may result in overgrowth of fungi.
▪ In such a case, the physician may prescribe an alternate drug.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
10. warnings
▪ It is used when the potential for patient harm is greater than in
instances in which the precaution is used. Ex: If tetracycline is used
in the presence of renal impairment, it may lead to accumulation
of the drug and possible liver toxicity.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
11. contraindication
▪ A term that used to indicate an absolute prohibition to the use of a
drug in the presence of certain stated conditions. It is the most
restrictive of the warnings which limits the use of drugs.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
12. Tolerance
▪ The ability to endure the influence of a drug, particularly when
acquired by a continued use of the substance.
▪ Tolerance occurs commonly in such drugs e.g. antihistaminic,
narcotic analgesics.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
13. Drug-Drug interactions
▪ The effects of a drug may be modified by the concurrent
administration of another drug.
▪ These drug-drug interactions are due to Chemical or physical
interaction between drugs or alteration of the absorption,
distribution, metabolism or excretion patterns of one of the drugs.
▪ The effects of drug-drug interactions may be beneficial,
Detrimental.
https://www.slideshare.net/VenkataSubbaReddy4/posology
Aulton’s pharmaceutics edited by Michael E. Aulton
14. Routes of administration
▪ Drugs administered intravenously enter the blood stream directly
and thus the full amount administered is present in the blood.
▪ Thus, a lesser parenteral dose of a drug is required than the oral
dose to achieve the same blood levels of drug.
