Antibacterial agents should be used only if bacterial complications such as otitis media or sinusitis develop. Experi- mental vaccines to certain rhinovirus serotypes have been generated, but their usefulness is questionable because of the myriad serotypes and the uncertainty about mechanisms of immunity. Thorough hand washing, environmental decontamination, and protection against autoinoculation may help to reduce rates of transmission of infection.

Met mijn beperkte ervaring in het laboratorium heb ik ontzettend veel van jullie allen geleerd. Beste Eric Gremmer, ik wil jou in het bijzonder bedanken voor de grote rol die je hebt gespeeld in het bepalen van de (auto) immuun markers uit het serum van de deelnemers uit de Doetinchem cohort. Elke week bleef je één nacht over in Maastricht om zo vol gas zoveel mogelijk monsters door te meten. Maar na gedane arbeid is het goed rusten, en daarom wil ik jou ook bedanken voor de gezellige avonden in Maastricht. Damoiseaux, beste Jan, al ben ik een ‘groentje’ in de immunologie, graag wil ik jou bedanken voor jouw immunologische input, de brainstorm sessies en jouw feedback op het manuscript (hoofdstuk 4). Bedankt voor jullie ondersteuning in het verstrekken van de data, programmeren en de statistische suggesties, wat heeft bijgedragen aan de resultaten die zijn beschreven in hoofdstuk 4 van dit proefschrift. Beste Harald, met jouw precisie en creatieve inbreng is het een mooi proefschrift geworden. Furthermore, I would like to thank Annette Spedding, Annette Herzog and Elaine Kingwell for editing my thesis. Als je al enige tijd in het buitenland vertoeft, merk je toch dat het Nederlands iets minder goed uit de verf komt. Al mijn collega’s van de afdeling farmaco-epidemiologie, bedankt voor jullie onder- steuning, gezelligheid, de vrijdagnamiddag borrels, en de gezamenlijke lunches en dineetjes. Simone, Mira, Hans, Jacqueline, Renate, Miriam en Suzanne, ik vond het erg prettig jullie allen als kamergenoten te hebben gehad.

Bedankt dat ik met jou kon sparren over een aantal epidemiologische vraagstukken, je hulp in het programmeren en alle gezellige uitjes. Ik had je graag aan mijn zijde op de promotie gehad, maar op het moment dat de magische woorden ‘hora est’ worden uitgesproken, ben jij op rondreis in Australië. Thank you, Christina, Daneida, Maria, Marieke and Marlon for enjoying my company after work. Niet alleen was je er voor me om allerlei (administratieve) klusjes voor me af te handelen, maar je stond ook altijd voor me klaar.

Total production met rich in thebaine is expected to be about 140 tons of about 80 per cent of total demand in 2006 but only thebaine equivalent in 2008 and 160 tons in 2009 order actonel 35 mg on line 2d6 medications. Figure I presents a breakdown of the demand for morphine-based opiates purchase actonel 35 mg on line medications zoloft side effects, expressed in morphine equivalent, for the main narcotic drugs. Supply of and demand for opiate raw materials based opiates has continued to increase, with some rich in morphine, in tons of morphine equivalent, fluctuations. In 2007, total demand for opiates for medical 2004-2009 and scientific purposes amounted to 330 tons. Such demand is expected to increase further, including in countries where Tons consumption of opiates was low in the past. As a result, 1 200 total demand for opiates based on morphine might reach 340 tons in 2008 and 350 tons in 2009.

As a result, in 2008 part of the demand will rich in thebaine, in tons of thebaine equivalent, again have to be met by stocks, leading to a further 2004-2009 depletion of stocks. At the beginning of 2009, stocks will be sufficient to cover global utilization of opiate Tons raw materials rich in morphine for about 10 months. For raw materials rich in thebaine, production 150 has fallen short of demand since 2004 but was almost equal to demand in 2007. Stocks of raw materials rich in thebaine at Stocksc Production the beginning of 2009 will be sufficient to cover total Demand for opiate raw materials Demand for opiatesd demand for less than 11 months and stocks at the end aData for production and demand for 2008 are based on advance data (dotted of 2009 should cover demand for about 17 months.

At its fifty-first session, the Commission on 10 000 Narcotic Drugs adopted resolution 51/9, on the need for a balance between demand for and supply 8 000 of opiates used to meet medical and scientific needs. In that resolution, the Commission urged all Governments to continue to contribute to maintaining 6 000 a balance between the licit supply of and demand for opiate raw materials used for medical and scientific 4 000 purposes, supporting traditional and established supplier countries, and to cooperate in preventing 2 000 the proliferation of sources of production of opiate raw materials.

For opiates, consumption, expressed in defined daily practices in the cultivation of opium poppy and the doses for statistical purposes, has increased steadily, almost production of opiate raw materials. Throughout that period, the supply of opiate raw materials from which opiates were obtained has been sufficient to cover the increasing demand. For synthetic opioids, which are used Trends in consumption levels of opioids for the same indications as opiates, consumption has almost 26. As a result, the share of consumption consumption levels of opiates and synthetic opioids of opiates in the total consumption of opioids has declined for the 20-year period 1988-2007.

La demande d’alcaloïdes naturels obtenus à partir du pavot à opium (morphine, codéine, thébaïne et oripavine) est restée élevée en 2007, conformément à la ten- dance des vingt dernières années. Environ 80 % de la morphine et 94 % de la thébaïne fabriquées dans le monde sont provenus de la paille de pavot, le reste a été extrait de l’opium. L’Australie, l’Espagne, la France et la Turquie ont continué d’être les principaux pays producteurs, représentant ensemble près des trois quarts de la production mondiale de paille de pavot riche en morphine. L’Australie, l’Espagne et la France ont été les seuls producteurs de paille de pavot riche en thébaine. La fabrication de morphine, qui a suivi une tendance à la hausse, a atteint le niveau record de 440 tonnes en 2007. La fabrication de thébaïne est tombée du niveau sans précédent de 119 tonnes en 2005 à 112 tonnes en 2007, deuxième chiffre le plus élevé jamais atteint. La fabrication de codéine a continué de suivre une tendance à la hausse et s’est élevée au niveau record de 349 tonnes. La morphine et la codéine sont utilisées à des fins thérapeutiques ou transformées en d’autres opioïdes.
