Evaluation of two collocated federal equivalent method PM instruments over a wide range of concentrations in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Two widely used PM monitors in the United States (U.S.) designated as federal equivalent methods (FEMs) by the U.

Hiring people with disabilities: A scoping review.

Background: Many people with disabilities continue to encounter challenges trying to secure employment.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to synthesize existent knowledge about the hiring process for people with disabilities and explore research priorities from the perspective of key stakeholders.

Methods: A scoping review of the literature related to hiring processes and practices as they relate to people with disabilities was undertaken.

The development of an analytical method for urinary metabolites of the riot control agent 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS).

The analysis of biomedical samples such as urine and blood can provide evidence of exposure to chemicals for a range of applications including occupational exposure monitoring, detection of drugs of abuse, performance enhancement in sport and investigations of poisoning and incapacitation. This paper reports the development of an analytical method for two suspected urinary metabolites of the riot control agent 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS): 2-chlorohippuric acid and 2-chlorobenzyl-N-acetylcysteine. 2-Chlorohippuric acid was identified in all 2h post-exposure samples from a set of urine samples taken from army recruits exposed to low levels of thermally dispersed CS during training.

A placebo-controlled trial of mirtazapine for the management of methamphetamine withdrawal.

Introduction And Aims: As an antidepressant with sedative and anxiolytic properties, mirtazapine may be an appropriate pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine withdrawal. This study sought to examine whether mirtazapine improves retention and alleviates methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms in an out-patient setting.

Design And Methods: An out-patient double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial of mirtazapine for the treatment of methamphetamine withdrawal was conducted (15 mg nocte for 2 days, 30 mg nocte for 12 days).

Pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of RGD-targeted doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles in tumor-bearing mice.

We report the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a cyclic RGD-doxorubicin-nanoparticle (NP) formulation in tumor-bearing mice. The NP core was composed of inulin multi-methacrylate with a targeting peptide, cyclic RGD, covalently attached to the NPs via PEG-400. Seventy-two percent of the doxorubicin was attached to the NP matrix via an amide bond; 28% of doxorubicin was entrapped as unconjugated drug.
