    There are also strains of enterococci that have developed resistance to vancomycin referred to as vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE). Agents classified as fourth-line (or greater) treatments or experimental therapies could be considered by default to be drugs of last resort due to their low placement in the treatment hierarchy.

  3. Phencyclidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine

    Acute effects on the cerebellum manifest as changes in blood pressure, breathing rate, pulse rate, and loss of muscular coordination during intoxication. [8] PCP, like ketamine, also acts as a potent dopamine D 2 High receptor partial agonist in rat brain homogenate [43] and has affinity for the human cloned D 2 High receptor. [57]

    In mice the elimination of FB 1 is very rapid, but in humans it could be much slower considering their body weight. [6] There are several possible pathways that cause toxic effects of Fumonisin B 1. Most toxic effects are due to altered sphingolipid metabolism by inhibition of ceramide synthase. Production of reactive oxygen species could occur.

    Other strains of S. aureus have emerged that are resistant to oxacillin, clindamycin, teicoplanin, and erythromycin. These resistant strains may or may not possess the mecA gene. S. aureus has also developed resistance to vancomycin (VRSA). One strain is only partially susceptible to vancomycin and is called vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA

    Cannabis (/ˈkænəbɪs/) is commonly known as marijuana or hemp and has two known strains: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, both of which produce chemicals to deter herbivory. The chemical composition includes specialized terpenes and cannabinoids, mainly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabidiol (CBD). These substances play a role in ...

    The first safety trial in healthy human volunteers for a phage was conducted by Bruttin and Brüssow in 2005. [118] They investigated the oral administration of Escherichia coli phage T4 and found no adverse effects of the treatment. [medical citation needed] Historical record shows that phages are safe, with mild side effects, if any. [119]

  8. Gliotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliotoxin

    Treatment of 20 nM gliotoxin reversed HIV-1 latency without interfering in the activation of CD4 + or CD8+ T-cells that are involved in the elimination of HIV-infected cells. [18] While research on this possible gliotoxin use is in early stages, this provides a possible future direction for HIV diagnosis and treatment.

  9. Ketamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine

    The antidepressant effect of ketamine is diminished at 7 days, and most people relapse within 10 days. However, for a significant minority, the improvement may last 30 days or more. [25] [26] [59] [61] One of the main challenges with ketamine treatment can be the length of time that the antidepressant effects last after finishing a course of ...
