This paper describes a method for the quantitative analysis of nitroglycerin and its dinitrate metabolites (1,2- and 1,3-glycerol dinitrate) in urine. After liquid-liquid extraction the analytes were separated and quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with negative ion chemical ionisation. The method can detect above 0.3 nmol/l for all analytes and is linear over the range of at least 0-44 nmol/l. The method was then used to determine metabolite levels in a subject using nitroglycerin therapeutically for the treatment of angina. Metabolites were stable in urine for at least 6 days at room temperature, approximately 4 degrees C and -20 degrees C.

Effect of membrane properties on the odor emanating from training aids for explosive-detecting canines.

Canines are widely used for real-time detection of explosives and have proven to be on par with instrumental methods. Canines are thought to rely largely upon detection of volatile chemical constituents of the explosives, though not necessarily the explosive itself. Hence, it is crucial to understand the odor available to them as generated by training aids.

Patients at each shock stage may behave and present differently with a spectrum of shock severity and adverse outcomes. Shock severity, shock aetiology, and several factors should be integrated in management decision-making. Although the contemporary shock stages classification provided a standardized shock severity assessment, individual agents or management strategy has not yet been studied in the context of each shock stage.

Background: Preterm labor is one of the most important causes of hospitalization during pregnancy and can lead to serious complications in neonates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the effect of transdermal nitroglycerin (TNG) patches and sublingual tablets of Isosorbide dinitrate (ISD) for the prevention of preterm delivery.
Methods: A total of 110 healthy pregnant women aged 18-35 years with a healthy and alive fetus and gestational age between 24-34 weeks who had at least 8 regular uterine contractions per hour were included in this single-blinded clinical trial.
New medicines for spontaneous preterm birth prevention and preterm labour management: landscape analysis of the medicine development pipeline.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program, Burnet Institute, 85 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC, 3004, Australia.
Background: There are few medicines in clinical use for managing preterm labor or preventing spontaneous preterm birth from occurring. We previously developed two target product profiles (TPPs) for medicines to prevent spontaneous preterm birth and manage preterm labor. The objectives of this study were to 1) analyse the research and development pipeline of medicines for preterm birth and 2) compare these medicines to target product profiles for spontaneous preterm birth to identify the most promising candidates.

Background: Topical treatments and botulinum toxin injections are valid options for the management of patients with chronic anal fissures (CAF), but little is known about the efficacy of these techniques in long-term follow-up. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness, given to clinical outcomes, of medical treatments with calcium antagonists, nitroglycerin, and botulinum toxin on CAF treatment in adults.
Method: A systemic review and meta-analysis developed according to PRISMA [PLoS Med.
