WITWEN UND BIBEL IN TANSANIA. Eine leserinnenorientierte Lektüre von 1 Tim 5,3-16, 2020

In this fatal situation, God is often their only anchor, God, who already appears in the Bible as the protector and father of widows and orphans. In the Old Testament, two book are named after widows, the Book of Rut and Judit, and in the New Testament there are numerous widow stories, primarily in Luke, which are all characterized by a special relationship with God. However, the reality in the ancient world was as follows: there was a large number of widows, working in the churches, which displeased the officials of the communities. They didn't only takeover charitable activities, but they missionized and were even paid for it. 1Tim 5:3–16, which categorizes widows, was read and interpreted by widows in Tanzania. It is demonstrated how they deal with a text, which was written for them as widows. They didn't allow themselves to be influenced by restrictions, in fact they drew out positive results. It is also highlighted how the widows interpret 1Tim on their cultural background, how they position themselves and see themselves as brides of Christ.

Although the theoretical risk is low that the antiplatelet activity of ASA+ER-DP will be affected by concomitant use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), no formal drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted. This study aimed to determine whether the PPI omeprazole influences the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) behavior of ASA+ER-DP. This was a randomized, open-label, multiple-dose, crossover, drug-drug interaction study carried out in a clinical trial unit. Sixty healthy male and female volunteers aged 18-50 years were included in the study. Participants were randomized to one of two treatment sequences (ABCD or CDAB), each comprising four 7-day treatments with a washout of ≥14 days between the second and third treatments. Treatment A=ASA+ER-DP 25 mg/200 mg (Aggrenox®) twice daily (BID) alone; B=ASA+ER-DP 25 mg/200 mg BID+omeprazole (Prilosec®) 80 mg once daily (QD) following ASA+ER-DP alone for 7 days; C=omeprazole 80 mg QD alone; D=omeprazole 80 mg QD+ASA+ER-DP 25 mg/200 mg BID following omeprazole alone for 7 days. The main outcome measures were systemic PK exposure to ER-DP and ASA inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation. Systemic exposure to ER-DP was similar with and without omeprazole, based on steady-state area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 to 12 h (AUC0-12,ss, ng·h/mL) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax,ss, ng/mL). For the treatment comparison D versus A, the percent mean ratios were 96.38 (90% confidence interval [CI] 90.96-102.13) for AUC0-12,ss and 92.03 (86.95-97.40) for Cmax,ss. The ER-DP concentration versus time profiles were nearly superimposable. There was no effect on the PDs of the ASA component: the extent of ASA inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was almost identical with and without omeprazole, with a percent mean ratio for treatment D versus A = 99.02 (90 % CI 98.32-99.72) at 4 h after last dose. All treatments were well tolerated. The PK and PD behavior of ASA + ER-DP was not altered by concurrent administration of omeprazole.
