Potentiometric detection with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) based liquid membrane electrode coatings is presented for a series of 18 exogenic beta-adrenergic substances in cation-exchange-HPLC and RP-HPLC systems. In both types of HPLC modes employing hybrid polymer-silica packings we observed that use of tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (TCPB) containing electrodes yielded limits of detection (DL) down to 10(-7)-10(-8) M (injected concentrations). The use of eluents with high concentrations of acetonitrile (up to 55%) yielded detection limits down to 10(-9) M (injected concentrations). A quantitative structure-potentiometric response activity relationship (QSAR) was developed for the set of beta-adrenergic substances and for a set of PVC-based electrodes using TCPB alone or in admixture with trioctylated alpha-cyclodextrin, dibenzo-18-crown-6, or calix[6]arene hexaethylester. A multiple linear regression model based on a computationally derived set of 14 molecular descriptors allowed prediction of the detection limits of beta-adrenergic substances and other amine substances from their molecular structure.

Beta - stimulant, that is, β - adrenergic stimulant, also known as β - agonists, is bioactive catecholamine compounds naturally produced in animals' adrenal medulla glands that induce relaxation in asthmatic airway smooth muscles upon inhalation while also temporarily boosting athletic alertness and alleviating fatigue. However, their potential for dependency poses health risks including unnoticed exacerbation leading to severe illness or fatality prompting their inclusion on WADA's prohibited substances list. Surface - enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) offers a rapid, sensitive, and label - free means for identifying characteristic peaks associated with β - agonist compounds.

Article Synopsis
- - Betablockers, commonly used in cardiology, can cause severe health issues like drops in blood pressure and heart rhythm problems, making their detection in cases of poisoning challenging.
- - A new liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method using ethyl acetate at pH 9 effectively identified 18 β-blockers in human blood, with a low limit of quantification and excellent precision, accuracy, and recovery rates.
- - The method has been validated with real postmortem samples and provided high-resolution fragmentation spectra for certain compounds not previously available in databases.

Background: The unique ability of the respiratory tract to protect the integrity of the airways by removing potentially harmful substances is defined as mucociliary clearance. This complex physiological mechanism protects the lower airways by ridding them of pollutants and pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate the potential influence of clinically relevant vasopressors on mucociliary clearance.

Cardiac dysfunction in patients with liver disease has been recognized since the 1950s. Initially attributed to shared risk factors, it is now evident that cardiac dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis can occur in the absence of known cardiac, that is, coronary artery and valvular heart disease, and across all etiologies for cirrhosis. In 1996, this myocardial dysfunction was termed cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM).

Article Synopsis
- The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus is the central control hub for circadian rhythms in mammals, producing various neurotransmitters.
- Researchers confirmed the presence of β-adrenergic receptors in the SCN and examined their effects on energy signaling through cAMP-regulated elements.
- The study's findings suggest that stress-related increases in adrenaline can impact circadian functions and may help explain side effects of β-blockers used for hypertension.
