The most prominent adverse reaction of the lincosamides is diarrhea, which varies from mildly loose bowel movements to life-threatening pseudomembranous colitis (see monograph on Beta-lactam antibiotics). Almost all antimicrobial drugs have been associated with severe diarrhea and colitis however, lincomycin and clindamycin have been particularly incriminated. The incidence of clindamycin-induced diarrhea in hospital is 23%. Diarrhea resolves promptly after withdrawal in most cases. It seems to be dose-related and may result from a direct action on the intestinal mucosa. Severe colitis due to C. difficile is not dose-related and occurs in 0.01-10% of recipients. Clustering of cases in time and place suggests the possibility of cross-infection. Even low doses of clindamycin, in some cases after topical administration, can cause marked alterations in several intestinal functions related to bowel flora (23). There was reduced susceptibility of C. difficile to clindamycin in 80% of French isolates in 1997 (24). Lincomycin was among the antibiotics that were most often associated with the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in a Turkish study of 154 patients other associated antibiotics were azithromycin and ampicillin (25).

FDA in its OTC drug review that began in 1972 has a suggested protocol for patient preparation for surgery in its latest publication of the Tentative Final Monograph (TFM). This is a trial using subject volunteers but is not considered a clinical trial since the target evaluation is reduction in microbial flora in a confined test situation [52,53]. [Parts of the protocol will be discussed, but see...

It is true to say that the entire world s flora is capable of providing a porous carbon on carbonization in an inert atmosphere. However, the casual production of activated carbon, capable of performing with efficiency the required industrial applications, does not happen. The commercial activated carbons on the market today are the result of continuous and intensive research and development toward optimization of application. The economics and availability of parent materials are as important (may be more so) as extents of available internal pore volumes (surface areas) associated with the right kind of porosity and surface chemistry. This means, of course, that a potential user of an active carbon should be as well acquainted with the capabilities of his purchase as is the producer of the activated carbon. And this means education and that means having available a text or a monograph devoted to the subject, and that means this book.

For over three decades, Timber Press has published books on plants, including encyclopaedias, horticultural monographs, field guides and the occasional Flora. Timber Press s market and authors are international, and many of its books are translated into and from other languages. It is not an academic or institutional publisher, neither is it geared to publishing for the mass market. Timber Press is a mid-range, commercial publisher of information-rich books on plants, and it is from that perspective that the present chapter is written.
