Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I discuss Miralax (polyethylene glycol) pharmacology, adverse effects, and much more. MiraLAX is an osmotic laxative commonly used to treat occasional constipation by retaining water in the stool to increase stool frequency and soften consistency. The standard adult dose of MiraLAX is 17 grams (approximately one heaping tablespoon) dissolved in 4 to 8 ounces of liquid once daily. Electrolyte imbalances are rare but possible with prolonged or excessive use of Miralax, particularly in elderly or renal-impaired patients. Advise patients to maintain adequate hydration while using MiraLAX to support its mechanism and reduce side effects.

1. “Bioaccumulation of Microplastics in Decedent Human Brains” (Nature Medicine, 2024) This study confirms the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in human brain tissue, particularly the frontal cortex. Researchers used pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and electron microscopy to analyze postmortem samples, finding polyethylene (PE) as the dominant plastic type. Brain tissue exhibited significantly higher plastic concentrations than the liver or kidney, with even greater MNP accumulation in individuals diagnosed with dementia. The findings raise concerns about potential neuroinflammation and long-term neurological effects, though causality remains unproven. 2. “Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheromas and Cardiovascular Events” (New England Journal of Medicine, 2024) This study investigates the presence of microplastics in atherosclerotic plaques and their potential role in cardiovascular disease. Analyzing carotid artery plaques from patients undergoing endarterectomy, researchers found polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in 58.4% of plaques. Patients with MNP-containing plaques had a 4.53 times higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death over a three-year follow-up. The study also linked MNP presence to elevated inflammatory markers (IL-18, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6), suggesting that microplastics might exacerbate cardiovascular disease progression.

Plastics are a modern miracle of science that have helped deliver both convenience and life-saving solutions. However, we must now grapple with the challenge of immense amounts of plastics in our waste streams and environment. How do we best deconstruct plastics to reusable or more bio-friendly molecules? This is the exact challenge being addressed by the work of Dr. Elizabeth (Izzy) Bell and her team at the National Renewable Energy Lab. Our conversation with Izzy showcases her ability to summarize complex topics very concisely and understandably, which she says is a skill that is critically important in her field because it's so interdisciplinary. Izzy summarizes the challenges they're working to address and then walks us through the stepwise processes she and her team use to conduct directed evolution studies. These studies aim to create and characterize enzymes capable of deconstructing common plastics, first at a laboratory scale, but eventually at an industrial scale. If you've ever wondered about how directed evolution studies are done, and the role that molecular biology plays with them, this conversation will be sure to clarify. In addition to the great science of this episode, Izzy also helps outline what it takes to get into and be successful in her field – a great resource for anyone aspiring to get into this area of research. We hear about how interdisciplinary the field is, but how that means it's also ripe with opportunity for those passionate about learning and making a difference.

Maybe you've heard the news. Microplastics are on top of Mount Everest, the bottom of the ocean, in our blood, breastmilk, vital organs, and testicles. They are pervasive and the scope of their effect on our health is only just beginning to be understood. Today's episode lays out what microplastics (and nanoplastics, goodie!) are, where they come from, and what the early science says (it's not good). Also discussed: small, easy, meaningful actions we can take to minimize our exposure to microplastics in our daily life.

With a father that taught university-level chemistry, and a brother in the field, it may not be surprising that Alan Dyke became a chemist, but it is surprising is that he's considered to be the outcast of the family for choosing a commercial career instead of taking an academic route. But, as he'll passionately reveal, there are upsides to choosing a non-academic career. Join us for a wonderful conversation where Paolo and Alan recount their shared history and the evolution of the catalysis field over recent decades. They discuss the evolution of homogeneous cross-coupling, biocatalysis, metathesis, and metallocene chemistry. Application of catalysis to fields as varied as pharmaceuticals and polymers is discussed, along with sustainability and other trends and dynamics in the field.

In the GI 101 series, Dr. Parikh interviews one of the training physicians to get their perspective on a variety of gastrointestinal topics. In this episode, Dr. Kevin Groudan, a gastroenterology fellow at Baystate Health, discusses one of the most commonly used first line agents for constipation: polyethylene glycol.
Eric and Glenn discuss their holiday parties and preparations, play another round of "Where in the Whorld?", and then interview a guest all the way from Sydney, Australia. Teneil Hannah, a PhD candidate at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), joins the podcast to talk about some of her recently presented research on fingermark grading/quality scales. These are scales used by practitioners or researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of potentially new processing and visualization techniques to develop latent fingerprints. Whenever a laboratory is deciding to adopt a new treatment or change an existing one, the lab is expected to perform testing to evaluate the technique. There are a number of scales available to assess latent prints. Teneil walks us through what the most common scales are, who is using what, why are these scales important, and what modifications can be made to existing scales to improve their wide spread adoption and usage.

The best stuff is always in plastic water bottles — that's a thing I hear from a lot of Mezcal geeks. But lately I've been reading a lot of stories in the news about how most of us have plastic in our blood stream. And that's got me wondering … is the stuff brought back from Mexico in plastic water bottles really the best stuff, then? Or am I just drinking myself to death in an unexpected way?

Can we get rid of all the plastic in the oceans? Like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, 1.6 million square kilometers of plastic trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. Some see this never-decomposing trash as one of the biggest problems facing our species, others like Eleonore Eisath see that plastic as a “locked resource” that can be tapped into. Her company Beworm is developing a biocatalytic recycling process that decomposes plastic waste into natural raw materials—it's about as cool as it gets! ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleonore-eisath/ ➡️ https://www.beworm.org/ ➡️ Highlights: https://rosspalmer.com/eleonore-eisath
Since March is autoimmune disease awareness month, I thought it would be a good idea to give you more information about how autoimmune disease is developed and exacerbated. Today I talk about 3 environmental factors that you can be working on now to help protect yourself from autoimmune and even cancer. I tell you small changes you can make with your cosmetics & skincare products, your water, and plastic storage containers. Here is the list of the TOP MOST TOXIC ingredients to look for in your cosmetics: Benzalkonium Chloride A disinfectant used as a preservative and surfactant associated with severe skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergies. Found in: sunscreens, moisturizers. Butylatedhydroxy Anisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene Synthetic antioxidants used to extend shelf life. They are likely carcinogens and hormone disruptors and may cause liver damage. Found in: lipsticks, moisturizers, diaper creams, and other cosmetics. Coal tar hair dyes and other coal tar ingredients A byproduct of coal processing that is a known carcinogen. It is used as a colorant and an anti-dandruff agent. Found in: hair dye, shampoo. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) A chelating (binding) agent added to cosmetics to improve stability. May be toxic to organs. Found in: hair color, moisturizers. Ethanolamines (MEA/DEA/TEA) Surfactants and pH adjuster linked to allergies, skin toxicity, hormone disruption, and inhibited fetal brain development. Found in: hair dyes, mascara, foundation, fragrances, sunscreens, dry cleaning solvents, paint, pharmaceuticals. Formaldehyde Used as a preservative in cosmetics. A known carcinogen that is also linked to asthma, neurotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Present where quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol (Bronopol), and several other preservatives are listed. Found in: shampoo, body wash, bubble bath. Hydroquinone A skin-lightening chemical that inhibits the production of melanin and is linked to cancer, organ toxicity, and skin irritation. Found in: skin-lightening creams. Methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone Chemical preservatives that are among the most common irritants, sensitizers, and causes of contact skin allergies. Found in: shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Oxybenzone Sunscreen agent and ultraviolet light absorber linked to irritation, sensitization and allergies, and possible hormone disruption. Found in: sunscreen, moisturizer. Parabens (methyl-, isobutyl-, propyl- and others) A class of preservatives commonly used to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Parabens are endocrine (or hormone) disruptors, which may alter important hormone mechanisms in our bodies. Found in: shampoo, face cleanser, body wash, body lotion, foundation. Phthalates (DBP, DEHP, DEP and others) A class of plasticizing chemicals used to make products more pliable or to make fragrances stick to skin. Phthalates disrupt the endocrine system and may cause birth defects. Found in: synthetic fragrance, nail polish, hairspray, and plastic materials. Polyethylene glycol (PEG compounds) PEGs are widely used in cosmetics as thickeners, solvents, softeners, and moisture-carriers. Depending on manufacturing processes, PEGs may be contaminated with measurable amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, which are both carcinogens. Found in: creams, sunscreen, shampoo. Retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate) Retinyl palmitate is an ingredient composed of palmitic acid and retinol (Vitamin A). Data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may result in adverse health consequences like lesions and photosensitization. FDA, Norwegian and German health agencies have raised a concern that daily skin application of vitamin A creams may contribute to excessive vitamin A intake for pregnant women and other populations. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS and SLES) SLS and SLES are surfactants that can cause skin irritation or trigger allergies. SLES is often contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of a petrochemical process called ethoxylation, which is used to process other chemicals in order to make them less harsh. Found in: shampoo, body wash, bubble bath. Synthetic flavor or fragrance An engineered scent or flavoring agent that may contain any combination of 3,000-plus stock chemical ingredients, including hormone disruptors and allergens. Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law's classification of trade secrets and therefore can remain undisclosed. Found in: all types of cosmetics. Toluene A volatile petrochemical solvent that is toxic to the immune system and can cause birth defects. Found in: nail polish. Triclosan and Triclocarban Antimicrobial pesticides toxic to the aquatic environment; may also impact human reproductive systems. Found in: liquid soap, soap bars, toothpaste. **This information came from the Beautycounter website.
