Renal tolerance and pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in rats
TL;DR: The nephrotoxicity, as measured by urinary cell and enzyme excretion, of vancomycin was studied in rats and was increased when combined with tobramycin and was reduced when Combined with D-glucaro-1.5-lactam, a beta- glucuronidase inhibitor.

The impaired immune response to diphtheria vaccination in elderly chronic hemodialysis patients is related to zinc deficiency.
TL;DR: The failure to respond to active diphtheria vaccination is related to asignificantly decreased serum zinc concentration in hemodialysis patients, and the immune response to diphTheria vaccination inhemodialysis Patients is poor.
