A reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method with detection at 220 nm was developed and validated for the determination of piperacillin, I, and tazobactam, II, in Tazocin injectable powder. Acetaminophen was used as internal standard. A Hypersil BDS RP-C(18) column (250 x 4.6 mm), 5 microm particle size, was equilibrated with a mobile phase composed of aqueous solution of sodium dihydrogenphosphate-dihydrate (20 mM)-acetonitrile-methanol (70:15:15, v/v/v) and pH 5.0. Its flow rate was 1.0 ml/min. Calibration curves were linear for I and II in the concentration ranges of 3.0 x 10(-7)-2.0 x 10(-4) M and 7.0 x 10(-7)-2.0 x 10(-4) M, respectively. Limits of detection and quantitation were 1 x 10(-7), 3 x 10(-7) M for I and 2 x 10(-7), 7 x 10(-7) M for II, respectively. Relative standard deviation, for I and II was less than 0.40 and 0.75%, respectively. Extensive recovery studies were also performed.

Background: Maternal morbidity and mortality persist due to delays in seeking care for obstetric complications. Deficits in comprehending danger signs contribute to preventing early identification. There is limited research on awareness levels among rural Indian women.

Food and agricultural commodities endure consistent contamination by mycotoxins, low molecular weight fungal metabolites, which pose severe health implications to humans together with staggering economic losses. Herein, a ratiometric aptasensor was constructed using silver-coated porous silicon (Ag-pSi) used as an efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. The bioassay included direct detection of fumonisin B (FB), an abundant and widespread contaminant, by a specific aptamer sequence immobilized on the porous transducer.

Background: Tuberculosis is among the most devastating infectious diseases worldwide. Spinal tuberculosis is not easy to detect at an early stage, which without effective treatment often leads to spinal deformity and spinal cord damage which in turn cause complications such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. In this study, we established a model using three concentrations of bacteria and carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the model by imaging, general observations, and histopathological and bacteriological studies.

The recent spread of SARS-CoV-2 has led to serious concerns about newly emerging infectious coronaviruses. Drug repurposing is a practical method for rapid development of antiviral agents. The viral spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds to its major receptor ACE2 to promote membrane fusion.

In this study, we assessed the effects of temperature and dilution on uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) growth in sugarcane juice and modeled the kinetics for shelf life simulation. Diluted and undiluted sugarcane juice samples inoculated with a four-strain UPEC cocktail were stored at 4, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 °C to evaluate their growth during storage. Changes in UPEC growth were fitted using three primary models (Baranyi, Huang, and reparameterized Gompertz models), and two secondary models (Huang square-root and Ratkowsky square-root models) were selected to evaluate the effect of temperature on specific growth rates.
