Prediction of drug exposure in hepatic impairment: a comparison between minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) and whole body PBPK models by Iftekhar Mahmood

“…For 52 drugs, there were 120 data points for AUC (37, 47, and 36 for mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment, respectively), and from mPBPK model, 92%, 94%, and 89% data points were within 0.5–2-fold prediction error, respectively. Conclusions: Overall, the results of the study indicated that the proposed mPBPK model, in its predictive performance, is as robust and accurate as whole body PBPK model.…”

Evaluating Inertial Parameter Uncertainty in High-Acceleration Movements and Improving Predictions Through Identification Using Free Vibration Measurements by Takahiro Homma, Hiroshi Yamaura

“…Subsequently, MSIP identified by our methods with free vibration measurement were applied to the same tasks, improving the accuracy of the predicted ground reaction forces compared with the standard regression-based estimates. The root mean square error decreased by up to 148 N. <b>Conclusions:</b> These results highlight that uncertainties in inertial properties and MSIP affected the calculated joint torques and GRFs&Ms, and combining experimentally identified MSIP with dynamics simulations enhances precision. …”
