Dose Uniformity of Topical Corticosteroids: A Simulated Trial of Fluorometholone Acetate 0.1% and Loteprednol Etabonate Gel 0.5.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the concentrations of Flarex and Lotemax when shaken and not shaken. Many patients fail to shake or inappropriately shake suspensions of corticosteroids before instillation as directed. This study was designed to help determine what concentration of corticosteroid these patients are receiving.

Characterization of the Fluorescent Spectra and Intensity of Dabigatran and Dabigatran Etexilate: Application to HPLC Analysis with Fluorescent Detection†.

There is considerable interest in dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa) and its major metabolite, dabigatran, which has been shown to be an important inhibitor of thrombin and clotting. In this study, the fluorescent excitation and emission spectra of dabigatran and dabigatran etexilate were characterized. In addition, a ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method using fluorescent detection was developed for the analysis of dabigatran.

High-Performance Liquid-Chromatographic Analysis of Plasma Iohexol Concentrations.

In this study, a high-performance liquid-chromatographic (HPLC) method using photodiode array detection and isocratic conditions was developed for the analysis of plasma iohexol concentrations. Plasma proteins were precipitated with 1:1 volume of plasma and acetonitrile-ethanol-water (60:38.4:1.

Characterization of the Fluorescent Spectra and Intensities of Various Lignans: Application to HPLC Analysis with Fluorescent Detection†.

There is considerable interest in dietary lignans since they have been shown to have antioxidant, estrogenic and lipid-lowering activity in humans. In this study, the fluorescent excitation and emission spectra of seven lignans were characterized and their relative fluorescent intensities compared. The lignans were found to have similar excitation (286.

Liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) determination of plasma hydroxocobalamin and cyanocobalamin concentrations after hydroxocobalamin antidote treatment for cyanide poisoning.

Cyanide poisoning occurs in individuals after fire smoke inhalation and after oral ingestion of cyanide. Hydroxocobalamin (HOCbl), a hydroxylated form of vitamin B(12), is often used as an antidote to treat cyanide toxicity. It has a high affinity for cyanide and rapidly removes cyanide from tissue by forming cyanocobalamin (CNCbl).
