Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment of Penicillin G in a Veterinary Product Using an Original Software Method and Monitoring by SPE-Online-UHPLC-MS/MS.

Veterinary antibiotics have become a major concern due to potential environmental effects. This study presents an investigation of the exposure and environmental effects of the veterinary medicinal product in powder form, administered in the drinking water of piglets, chickens and turkeys, containing 250 mg/g penicillin G (benzylpenicillin potassium), performed according to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) guideline and the results obtained by an analytical method based on online solid-phase extraction, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (SPE-online-UHPLC-MS/MS). The study presents the determination of the environmental risk and through an original, interactive, fast software method, created on the basis of a proprietary calculation algorithm that goes through all the prescriptions and recommendations of the EMEA guide.

Analysis of Transfer of Tiamulin to Animal Tissue after Oral Administration: An Important Factor for Ensuring Food Safety and Environmental Protection.

The administration of veterinary medicinal products containing tiamulin hydrogen fumarate (THF) leads to the appearance of the following residues in animal tissues: THF and metabolites that can be hydrolyzed to 8-α-hydroxymutilin. The marker residue for tiamulin, according to Regulation EEC 2377/90, is the sum of the metabolites that can be hydrolyzed to 8-α-hydroxymutilin. The main aim of this study was to analyze the depletion of tiamulin residues and metabolites that can be hydrolyzed to 8-α-hydroxymulinin by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in pig, rabbit and bird tissues after tiamulin administration and to determine minimum withdrawal times for products of animal origin intended for human consumption.

Gestational Alloimune Liver Disease-Case Report.

We describe the case of a newborn with the antenatal onset of hepatic failure, which has been investigated for all etiologies that can cause liver damage: infectious, metabolic, genetic, and immune. The lack of a clear answer regarding the etiology and the response to immunoglobulin therapy led us to the diagnosis of gestational alloimmune liver disease. Gestational alloimunne liver disease is an uncommon and very severe cause of neonatal acute liver failure (NALF).

An in-depth analysis of pharmaceutical regulation in the Republic of Moldova.

Objective: Regulation of the pharmaceutical system is a crucial, yet often neglected, component in ensuring access to safe and effective medicines. The aim of this study was to provide an in-depth analysis of the existing pharmaceutical regulation, including recent changes, in the Republic of Moldova.

Methods: Data from field work conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) together with a review of policy documents and quantitative secondary data analysis was used to achieve this aim.

An assessment of community pharmacists' attitudes towards professional practice in the Republic of Moldova.

Unlabelled: Pharmacy in Moldova is undergoing a period of transition. The professional practice is adjusting to a market-oriented economy from the previous Soviet system. The pharmaceutical sector has been liberalised giving rise to a significant increase in the number of community pharmacies.
