Computational pharmacokinetics of solute penetration into human intervertebral discs - effects of endplate permeability, solute molecular weight and disc size.
- Abstract:
-
A finite element model is developed to predict the penetration time-history of three different solutes into the human lumbar disc following intravenous injection. Antibiotics are routinely administered intravenously in spinal surgery to prevent disc infection. Successful prophylaxis requires antibiotics to reach adequate inhibitory levels. Here, the transient diffusion of cephazolin is investigated over 10h post-injection in a human disc model subject to reported concentrations in the blood s...
