A single-line flow injection system including a tubular periodate-selective electrode without inner reference solution is proposed for glycerol determination in distilled spirits, based on oxidation of this polyol by periodate. Interferences due to 5.0 mg L(-1) Cu, 5000 mg L(-1) sucrose, and 3000 mg L(-1) fructose plus glucose were investigated. The procedure is characterized by a linear response for 20-500 mg L(-1) glycerol (r > 0.9999, n = 7), a relative standard deviation of results of <0.03, and an analytical throughput of 30 determinations per hour. Accuracy was assessed by applying the procedure to distilled spirits of sugarcane and grape already analyzed by HPLC; in addition, recoveries within 96 and 120% were obtained.

Background: Data-driven disease progression models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have identified subtypes in regional patterns of Aβ deposition using amyloid PET. In addition to Aβ accumulation, early frame measures of tracer delivery from amyloid PET are strongly correlated with blood flow. This work explores whether combining tracer delivery with amyloid binding measures can improve the subtype and stage characterisation over amyloid binding alone.

Cerebral perfusion and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) both decrease with dementia compared to healthy aging; as these changes occur prior to symptomatic onset and in distinct brain regions, perfusion and CVR may act as complementary biomarkers of early cerebrovascular changes. These biomarkers can be measured using MRI methods, yielding macrovascular measures of perfusion and CVR.

Exercise increases blood and lymph flow in working muscles, potentially affecting the bioavailability and effect of subcutaneously administered drugs. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of a single exercise session on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of subcutaneously administered unfractionated heparin. In a crossover design, 15 healthy males underwent four experimental days where 15,000 IU of unfractionated heparin was injected subcutaneously into the thigh of the non-dominant leg.

Lumbar injections into this space represent a clinically used approach for delivering therapeutics directly to the brain, bypassing critical barriers such as the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers. A nuanced understanding of CSF dynamics is vital for comprehending physiological states of the CNS for drug delivery.

Background: Data-driven disease progression models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have identified subtypes in regional patterns of Aß deposition using amyloid PET. In addition to Aß accumulation, early frame measures of tracer delivery from amyloid PET are strongly correlated with blood flow. This work explores whether combining tracer delivery with amyloid binding measures can improve the subtype and stage characterisation over amyloid binding alone.
