Hello, Learners! Welcome to our pharmacokinetics series. I am Prof. Shawn Chen, the main educator of this course. The international group of instructors for this course are: Daniel Brown, Pharm …
Prof. Brown puts great emphasis on how to design a multiple dosing regimen based on Cav,ss in this part. We can learn how to convert a dosing rate to a …
Continuing from the previous video, Prof. Brown specifies how a loading dose relates to the volume of distribution (V). He shows the relationship between elimination and accumulation during a drug …
In this video, we start with “How can we determine the safest and most effective dose of the drug for a specific patient?” Prof. Brown illustrates the outline and the …
This week, Professor Daniel Brown is going to explain the dosing basics, and how to determine the right amount of drug for a patient. Summary of Week 2: Compare and …
Please read the abstract of the paper published by Prof. Brown. This report describes student perceptions of the Fish Tank Model of first-order elimination as a learning aid in a …
Prof. Brown explains the reason why protein binding (fu) changes only matters for highly protein bound drugs and how it influences clearance (CL). Another factor that affects clearance (CL) is …
Prof. Brown illustrates the definition of Mean Residence Time (MRT) in this video. MRT is a measure of drug exposure over time. He also explains that under some conditions, protein …
This video is about the relationship between half-life (t 1/2), serum concentration (C), and Eliminate Rate Constant (k). After learning how Volume (V) and Clearance (CL) influence k, this time …
Prof. Daniel Brown clarifies the definition of various parameters. He also illustrates the meaning of Volume of Distribution (V), so we can understand how it relates to a body. Besides …
In this video, Prof. Daniel Brown first introduces the assumptions and ground rules for this course. He illustrates the importance of focusing on practical patient care rather than a laboratory …
What can you expect to learn from this week? Professor Daniel Brown will explain the topic: The Fish Tank – A Simplified Model of First-Order Elimination. Summary of Week 1: …
