Abstract
The question of whether or not clinical pharmacists are capable of performing meaningful research is addressed by reviewing the qualifications necessary for anyone to pursue an independent research career and by examining the current education and training of most clinical pharmacists. The types of research which appear to be best suited for clinical pharmacists include preclinical or clinical evaluations of basic science principles potentially affecting the therapeutic use of drugs in man, or the evaluation of clinical characteristics which alter the response to drugs in routine clinical use. It is concluded that clinical pharmacists with the appropriate postgraduate training and/or experience are capable of conducting meaningful research, and this is documented by current literature citations.

Annals of Internal MedicineGentamicin Serum Concentrations: Pharmacokinetic Predictions
190 Citations1976Hull Jh, Felix A. Sarubbi
A digital computer program is developed and tested its ability to predict correctly gentamicin serum levels under clinical conditions and it was found that the calculation of volume of distribution on the basis of the patient's lean body weight rather than total body weight was an important factor that contributed to the accuracy of the predicted level.
Journal of Pharmacokinetics and BiopharmaceuticsGentamicin disposition and tissue accumulation on multiple dosing
141 Citations1977Jerome J. Schentag, William J. Jusko +5 more
Tissue distribution and accumulation constitute a major reason for variability in Gentamicin pharmacokinetics and explain both the rising peak and trough serum concentrations and the prolonged detection of gentamicin in serum and urine after the drug is stopped.
CHEST JournalPharmacokinetics of Theophylline in Hepatic Disease
136 Citations1978Antoinette Mangione, Thomas Imhoff +3 more
The disposition of theophylline was examined in eight male cirrhotic patients without heart failure and patients with cirrhosis proven by biopsy, with significantly lower values for body clearance and longer half-lives than subjects without biopsies.
PubMedThe influence of cigarette smoking and sex on theophylline disposition.
121 Citations1977J. Robert Powell, J. F. Thiercelin +3 more
The effects of cigarette smoking and sex on theophylline clearance, elimination rate constant, and apparent volume of distribution were examined in 28 healthy, young adults given single oral doses of theophyLLine or aminophyllines.
Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent MedicineGuide to Oral Theophylline Therapy for the Treatment of Chronic Asthma
88 Citations1978Leslie Hendeles Pharm D
Theophylline, when used appropriately, seems to be the most effective noncorticosteroid prophylactic medication for chronic asthma; dosage requirements generally then remain constant for six to 12 months depending upon the child's growth rate.
Journal of Surgical ResearchAminoglycoside nephrotoxicity in critically iii surgical patients
84 Citations1979Jerome J. Schentag, Martin E. Plaut +4 more
Since not all creatinine rises were AG nephrotoxicity, these drugs should be stopped only in patients with evidence of AG-related RT damage, and glomerular insufficiency requires only dosage adjustment unless drug- related RT damage also occurs.
Clinical Pharmacology & TherapeuticsEffects of smoking on drug action
52 Citations1977Russell R. Miller
The effects of smoking on drug metabolism in 3 categories of cigarette smokers were studied in patients in 22 hospitals in 7 countries in a collaborative program, compatible with the hypothesis that substances in cigarette smoke induce liver microsomal enzymes which increase the metabolism of these drugs.
Clinical Pharmacology & TherapeuticsDetermination of procainamide acetylator status
28 Citations1978John J. Lima, William J. Jusko
The calculation of apparent acetylation clearance from steady‐state serum concentrations of procainamide and urinary excretion rates of N‐acetyl‐procainamide provides the most definitive discrimination between fast and slow acetylators.
Journal of Pharmaceutical SciencesBioavailability of Chlorothiazide Tablets in Humans
20 Citations1979Arthur B. Straughn, Marvin C. Meyer +1 more
The total mean recovery from each product ranged from only 11 to 20%, indicating that in general chlorothiazide was not well absorbed following oral administration, and attempts at correlating the urinary excretion data with the dissolution rate determinations were not successful.
