A method for the determination of the free fraction of antiepileptic drugs in plasma and saliva was developed. The separation of free and protein-bound fractions was obtained by cloud-point extraction under optimum conditions of pH, surfactant type, and concentration. It is shown that the free fraction of carbamazepine and of phenobarbital in plasma coincides with the drug concentration in saliva. The dependence of the free fraction in plasma on the administered dose was studied. The influence of the simultaneous administration of the two drugs on their free concentrations was revealed: In the presence of carbamazepine the free fraction of phenobarbital is decreased markedly whereas phenobarbital does not influence the behavior of carbamazepine.

Global concern regarding transformation products (TPs) derived from contaminants, including pesticides, in the environment and during water treatment has been growing markedly. In the present study, we investigated the anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of an aqueous solution of the organophosphorus insecticide disulfoton, a toxicological endpoint for determining the acceptable daily intake of disulfoton, both in the presence and the absence of metabolism during chlorination. Disulfoton rapidly reacted with free chlorine and completely disappeared within 0.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of female cancer mortality worldwide, accounting for 1 in 6 cancer deaths. Surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy are the three pillars of breast cancer treatment, with several strategies developed to combine them. The association of preoperative radiotherapy with immunotherapy may improve breast cancer tumor control by exploiting the tumor radio-induced immune priming.

Underwater superoleophobic and transparent (UST) films are promising in applications, such as advanced optical devices in marine environments. However, the mechanical robustness and durability in harsh environments of the existing UST films are still unsatisfactory. In this work, we present a free-standing nacre-inspired mineralized UST (NIM-UST) film with high aragonite content and excellent mechanical properties toward robust underwater superoleophobicity on two surfaces and transparency (94%) in harsh seawater environments.

The valid method was developed for analyzing empagliflozin in serum/plasma/urine using a molecularly imprinted ghost polymer-solid-phase extraction approach (MISPE) with liquid chromatographic methodology. Methacrylic acid (MAA) was used as the monomer, 2,2 azobis isobutyronitrile as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker in the free radical polymerization procedure. Empagliflozin was loaded onto the polymer and eluted with 1 mL of a 9:1 MeOH:acetic acid solution.

Field-induced microstructure evolution can play an important role in defining the coupled magneto-mechanical response of Magneto-Active Elastomers (MAEs). The behavior of these materials is classically modeled using mechanical, magnetic and coupled magneto-mechanical contributions to their free energy function. If the MAE sample is fully clamped so it cannot deform, the mechanical coupling is reduced to the internal microscopic deformations caused by the particles moving and deforming the elastic medium that surrounds them.
