✦ Synopsis

Metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and other diseases. As is the case with many drugs, physicians often hesitate to use it during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. A review of the nearly four decades' worth of published literature on metronidazole use in pregnant women indicates that it is not teratogenic, regardless of the trimester in which it is used. On the other hand, a number of published studies indicate that bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis are associated with preterm birth and low birth weight. Treatment of these conditions with metronidazole during pregnancy may decrease the incidence of preterm birth and low birth weight, thus potentially decreasing the complications that can result from prematurity.

Different models have been proposed to explain lineage commitment in hemopoiesis. Some suggest that lineage commitment occurs in a stochastic manner without the direct influence of extracellular factors; others postulate that cytokines determine whether multipotent cells will become erythroid or gra

Pharmacy, Education, and Sections in Pharmacy**At the request of Dr. Charles Rice, in the latter part of the last century (1894), I wrote the first volume of a treatise entitled “A Study in Pharmacy” This work, comprising two hundred and twelve pages, was put into type and presented in fascicles, privately, to a limited circle of friends likely to be interested in the problems embraced therein. Otherwise, publication was not ventured. May I not hope that after its twenty-five years of slumber, this fragment, seemingly yet pertinent, may not prove a cumberer to pharmaceutical literature?
