Development of an analytical method for multi-residue quantification of 18 anthelmintics in various animal-based food products using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

In this study, we developed a simple screening procedure for the determination of 18 anthelmintics (including benzimidazoles, macrocyclic lactones, salicylanilides, substituted phenols, tetrahydropyrimidines, and imidazothiazoles) in five animal-derived food matrices (chicken muscle, pork, beef, milk, and egg) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Analytes were extracted using acetonitrile/1% acetic acid (milk and egg) and acetonitrile/1% acetic acid with 0.5 mL of distilled water (chicken muscle, pork, and beef), and purified using saturated -hexane/acetonitrile.

Simultaneous quantification of 12 veterinary drug residues in fishery products using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Herein, an analytical method was developed for simultaneous determination of 12 anthelmintics (closantel, niclosamide, nitroxynil, rafoxanide, cymiazole, fluazuron, levamisole, morantel, praziquantel, pyrantel, thiophanate, and trichlorfon) in fishery products (eel, flatfish, and shrimp) using liquid-liquid extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A reversed-phase analytical column was then used to separate the analytes from various matrices. Linear matrix-matched calibration curves were generated with coefficients of determination ≥ 0.

Residue analysis of tebufenozide and indoxacarb in chicken muscle, milk, egg and aquatic animal products using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

We developed an analytical method using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect and quantify tebufenozide (TEB) and indoxacarb (IND) residues in animal and aquatic products (chicken muscle, milk, egg, eel, flatfish, and shrimp). The target compounds were extracted using 1% acetic acid (0.1% acetic acid for egg only) in acetonitrile and purified using n-hexane.

Development and validation of a solid-phase extraction method coupled with LC-MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of 16 antibiotic residues in duck meat.

The present study was carried out to determine 16 antibiotics belonging to seven different groups (tetracyclines, sulfonamides, penicillins, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, lincosamides and trimethoprims) in duck meat. A solid-phase extraction method based on Oasis HLB cartridges coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was developed. Solutions of 0.

Simultaneous determination of spinosad, temephos, and piperonyl butoxide in animal-derived foods using LC-MS/MS.

Pesticides, which are used as plant protection products, can enter the food chain, and exposure to these xenobiotics can cause a wide array of health problems in humans. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to develop an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of residual spinosad (sum of spinosyn A and D), temephos and piperonyl butoxide in porcine muscle, egg, milk, eel, flatfish and shrimp (sampling period: February to June 2018) using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The target analytes were extracted with a combination of acidified acetonitrile and ethyl acetate and subsequently purified with original QuEChERS kits (composed of magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride) as well as n-hexane.

Quantitative determination of carbasalate calcium derived metabolites, acetylsalicylic acid and salicylic acid, in six animal foods using liquid-liquid extraction method coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

This work describes a simple screening protocol for quantification of carbasalate calcium derived metabolites, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and salicylic acid (SA), in animal and aquatic food matrices using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The analytes were extracted from porcine muscle, milk, egg, shrimp, eel, and flatfish using acetonitrile, with the addition of formic acid as well as trifluoroacetic acid, followed by liquid-liquid purification with saturated n-hexane. A reverse-phase analytical column was employed with a mobile phase comprising (A) 1 mM ammonium acetate in distilled water and (B) methanol to achieve the best chromatographic separation.

A modified QuEChERS method coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the simultaneous detection and quantification of scopolamine, L-hyoscyamine, and sparteine residues in animal-derived food products.

We developed a modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (CEN QuEChERS) extraction method coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS-MS) to identify and quantify residues of three botanical alkaloids, namely, scopolamine, L-hyoscyamine, and sparteine, in animal-derived foods, including porcine muscle, egg, and milk. A combination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium buffer and acetonitrile acidified with 0.5% trifluoroacetic acid was used as an extraction solvent, whereas QuEChERS (CEN, 15662) kits and sorbents were applied for cleanup procedures.

Residual detection of naproxen, methyltestosterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate in aquatic products by simple liquid-liquid extraction method coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

In the present study, we aimed to develop a reliable screening method based on liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the detection and quantification of naproxen, methyltestosterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate residues. The target analytes were extracted from samples of eel, flatfish and shrimp using acetonitrile with 1% acetic acid, followed by liquid-liquid purification with n-hexane. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase analytical column using 0.

"Physical activity as a luxury": African American women's attitudes toward physical activity.

The purpose of this study was to explore African American midlife women's attitudes toward physical activity. Using a feminist perspective, a 6-month online forum was conducted with 21 African American midlife women recruited on the Internet. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

"A waste of time": Hispanic women's attitudes toward physical activity.

Despite a lack of studies on Hispanic midlife women's physical activity, the existing studies have indicated that Hispanics' ethnic-specific attitudes toward physical activity contributed to their lack of physical activity. However, little is still clearly known about Hispanic midlife women's attitudes toward physical activity. The purpose of this study was to explore Hispanic midlife women's attitudes toward physical activity using a feminist perspective.
