Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) commonly presents as either deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). Despite rapid advances in its diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, it still leads to significant morbidity and mortality.

Objectives: Our study predominantly aims at studying the clinical profile, risk factors, and the clinical outcomes in VTE patients presenting to a single tertiary care center to rapidly detect the disease and use appropriate thrombo-prophylaxis.

To reach the Paris Agreement, societies need to increase the global terrestrial carbon sink. There are many climate change mitigation solutions (CCMS) for forests, including increasing bioenergy, bioeconomy, and protection. Bioenergy and bioeconomy solutions use climate-smart, intensive management to generate high quantities of bioenergy and bioproducts.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disorder known primarily by its motor symptomatology. These motor manifestations are also hypothesised to affect the respiratory muscular function of PD patients contributing to restrictive pattern of ventilatory dysfunction. Previous reports attempting to detect these abnormalities through spirometric assessments have been inconclusive.

An alternative ion chromatographic method to the existing USP method for the determination of N-methylpyrrolidine (NMP) in cefepime hydrochloride is developed. The cefepime in solution behaves as a strong cation and gets retained in the analytical column, leading to reduction in column capacity and irreproducible retention time. The retained drug has to be removed with a special rinsing solution, followed by re-equilibration with the mobile phase.

A new ion chromatography method with non-suppressed conductivity detection has been developed for the quantification of residual phase transfer catalyst-tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in an active pharmaceutical drug, Levetiracetam. Separation conditions are optimized to get a clear separation of TBAB from drug impurities using a Metrosep Cation C2-150 column. Conditions are also optimized to separate tetramethylammonium bromide, tetraethylammonium bromide, and tetrapropylammonium bromide, which are also used as phase transfer catalysts in several syntheses.

Ultra-trace analysis of azide in complicated Irbesartan sample matrix is achieved by the in-line sample preparation technique. Sodium azide is the precursor of Irbesartan, which is used as an anti-hypertensive drug. Due to the toxic nature of sodium azide, reliable determination of azide in Irbesartan is necessary.
