Development and validation of an HPLC method to be used for simultaneous detection and quantification of different statins after skin diffusion studies.

A novel high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated to simultaneously analyse all statins currently available globally (atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, mevastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin). A Venusil XBP C(2) reverse phase column (150 x 4.6 mm) with a 5 μm particle size was used.

Evaluation of Cattle for Naturally Colonized Shiga Toxin-Producing Requires Combinatorial Strategies.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) serogroups O157, O26, O103, O111, O121, O145, and O45 are designated as food adulterants by the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Crude glycerin alters beef cow ruminal fluid degradability of nutrients in vitro.

Crude glycerin () is used as an energy supplement for cattle and has been shown to increase propionate and decrease acetate concentrations in the rumen. Glycerin also decreases ruminal NH, and therefore, we hypothesized that GLY in rumen fluid would decrease protein degradability of feedstuffs. The objective was to evaluate the effect of GLY in bovine rumen fluid on extent of protein degradability of alfalfa hay (), dried distiller's grains (), and soybean meal ().

Treatment of onyalai with prednisolone, intravenous gammaglobulin and ascorbic acid. A prospective clinical trial.

Forty-two patients in the acute phase of onyalai were admitted to hospital and randomly divided into three groups of 14 to receive prednisolone 3 mg/kg/d for 1 week, intravenous gammaglobulin 100 mg/kg on 2 successive days, or ascorbic acid 1000 mg 3 times a day for 1 week. The groups were comparable with regard to sex and age distribution, initial platelet counts and initial haemoglobin values. No statistical difference was observed between the three treatment groups with regard to changes in the platelet counts during the period of observation.
