Two solid-contact electrochemical sensors were developed for detection of each of oxytetracycline HCl (OXY), and the co-formulated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug flunixin meglumine (FLU) in veterinary formulations and animal-derived food products. The designed sensors were based on a glassy carbon electrode as the substrate material and high molecular weight polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymeric ion-sensing membranes doped with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to improve the potential stability and minimize signal drift. For determination of OXY, the sensing membrane was modified with potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate (K-TCPB), which was employed as a cation exchanger, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-ßCD), which was used as an ionophore.

Cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension, stand as prominent contributors to global mortality. Hypertension, often referred to as a silent killer syndrome, necessitates the use of multiple medications for effective control and management. A new environmentally friendly HPLC-DAD method is introduced in this study for the concurrent analysis of telmisartan (TEL), chlorthalidone (CHT) and amlodipine besylate (AML), in both pure forms and combined pharmaceutical dosage form.

Article Synopsis
  • Chemometrics provides a way to analyze the spectral characteristics of drugs, making it a useful alternative to traditional chromatography for studying pharmaceutical formulations, particularly when assessing drug stability.
  • The study focuses on Sumatriptan (SUM), used in migraine treatment, showing that no stability-indicating chemometric approaches have been applied to it, highlighting the need for accurate measurement methods in the presence of its co-formulant, naproxen (NAP).
  • Three multivariate calibration methods—classical least-squares (CLS), partial least-squares regression (PLS), and principal components regression (PCR)—were utilized to analyze SUM, with PLS yielding the most accurate results, demonstrating high precision in the quantitative analysis when compared to traditional methods

Background: Over the last few years, mathematical manipulation has proved to be a very powerful means of successfully resolving severely overlapped spectra for various multicomponent mixtures.

Objective: Smart and environmentally friendly spectrophotometric determination approaches were used for two binary mixtures of fixed dose veterinary injections containing flunixin meglumine (FLU) combined with either florfenicol (FLR), or oxytetracycline HCl (OXY).

Methods: Regarding the first mixture, both FLU and FLR were determined by three successive resolution techniques, which were; constant multiplication coupled with spectrum subtraction (CM-SS), derivative ratio (DD1), and ratio difference (RD), and two progressive resolution techniques which were absorbance subtraction (AS) and amplitude modulation (AM).

Background: The impact of mathematical manipulation on the efficiency of smart spectrophotometric approaches was considered for analyzing a veterinary binary mixture of tylosin tartrate (TYT) and doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX).

Objective: Based on subtraction which can be response subtraction via numerical factor calculation between two wavelengths.

Method: Absorbance subtraction (AS) and amplitude summation (A-Sum), or subtraction of constant value or spectrum, was used to eliminate the contribution of the interfering component, as is done in spectrum subtraction (SS), extended ratio subtraction (EXRS), ratio subtraction (RS), and derivative subtraction (DS), or multiplication of a constant value by the divisor to get the spectrum of one component, or division by the normalized spectrum to modulate the original absorption spectrum to concentration as in concentration value and also detected in amplitude modulation (AM).

This study presents comprehensive comparative study of different eco-friendly spectrophotometric approaches without any sample treatment on processing quaternary mixture of sulphadimidine sodium (SDS), sulphaquinoxaline sodium (SQS), diaveridine (DVD) and vitamin K (VTK). The different univariate complementary resolutions according to the response used for the assay of the cited drugs after applying the processing steps were implemented using successive ratio subtraction coupled with constant multiplication (SRS-CM), absorbance subtraction (AS) and amplitude modulation (AM). On the other hand, multivariate spectrophotometric models were developed and validated for simultaneous determination of the cited mixture.

Paired wavelength relevance as spectrophotometric strategy was carried for simultaneous analysis of unresolved bands of doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX) and tylosin tartrate (TYT) as an example of veterinary binary mixture. These methods based on the relation between two points on the scanned or manipulated spectra (derivative, ratio). The methods using the absorbance difference between two wavelengths namely, dual wavelength (DW), induced dual wavelength (IDW), absorption correction (AC) and advanced absorbance subtraction (AAS) or amplitude difference namely, ratio difference (RD), amplitude subtraction namely, amplitude correction (PC) and advanced amplitude modulation (AAM) as well as amplitude addition namely, derivative ratio (DD).

  • Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), is a serious vascular condition primarily linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can lead to severe skin and tissue complications.
  • Diagnosis of CUA is challenging and relies on a high suspicion due to risks associated with biopsy, while imaging often shows extensive calcification in blood vessels, potentially resulting in gangrene.
  • The disease is systemic and can affect multiple organs, with this text noting the first documented case involving the penis, bladder, and eyes.

Two simple and accurate chemometric-assisted spectrophotometric models were developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of chlordiazepoxide (CDZ) and clidinium bromide (CDB) in the presence of an alkali-induced degradation product of CDB in their pure and pharmaceutical formulation. Resolution was accomplished by using two multivariate calibration models, including principal component regression (PCR) and partial least-squares (PLS), applied to the UV spectra of the mixtures. Great improvement in the predictive abilities of these multivariate calibrations was observed.

Background: Decision-making in child and youth mental health (CYMH) care requires recommendations that are developed through an efficient and effective method and are based on credible knowledge. Credible knowledge is informed by two sources: scientific evidence, and practice-based evidence, that reflects the "real world" experience of service providers. Current approaches to developing these recommendations in relation to CYMH will typically include evidence from one source or the other but do not have an objective method to combine the two.

Phencyclidine (PCP), an antagonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of ionotropic glutamatergic receptors, decreases gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic inhibition, suggesting that changes in GABAergic receptor function underlie behavioral and cognitive deficits resulting from repeated administration of PCP. To test this hypothesis, male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with PCP (4.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, twice a day for 7 consecutive days) or saline were tested in behavioral and cognitive tasks 7 days after injections.

Cognitive deficits are a core feature of schizophrenia that may be linked to abnormalities in GABA and nitric oxide (NO). Subchronic treatment with glutamate receptor antagonists produces similar deficits, providing a useful model to examine potential therapeutics. The present study investigated the effects of subchronic MK-801 (intraperitoneally; 0.
