Background: Ciprofol, a novel intravenous anesthetic, which has primarily been used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adults, is characterized by rapid onset, short duration of action, and quick and smooth recovery. However, the pharmacokinetic characteristics of continuous infusions and the correlation between the plasma concentration and the bispectral index (BIS) in elderly patients are still unknown.
Method: In this randomized, controlled study, thirty elderly patients (62-78 years old) undergoing elective gastrointestinal tumor resection were treated with propofol (N = 15) or ciprofol (N = 15) as sedatives during anesthesia.

The recent unauthorization of antiviral drugs in food-producing animals according to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 have increased the need for food control laboratories to develop analytical methods and perform official controls. In this work, a simple and fast analytical methodology was developed for the simultaneous determination of 21 antiviral drugs in chicken muscle and liver by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was achieved by an HILIC BEH amide column; followed by detection with a electrospray ionization source in positive and negative modes.

The assessment of measurement uncertainty of an analytic method is a requirement for forensic toxicologists and drug chemists. There are two main methods for estimating measurement uncertainty: the bottom-up and the top-down approaches. The bottom-up approach has been suggested in current practice guides including 'Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM)' published by ISO, and a guide to 'Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical Measurement' published by EURACHEM.

Buspirone, a commonly prescribed medication for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), is gaining attention for its narrow window of side effects such as lack of physical dependence, non-sedative properties as compared to other anxiolytic drugs. Its dose-specific therapeutic effects beyond anxiety highlights its clinical significance. Pharmacologically, buspirone activates serotonin-1A pre-synaptic autoreceptors and post-synaptic heteroreceptors which modulate serotonergic neurotransmission induced behavioral changes such as anxiolytic and nootropic effects.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the medicinal properties of SZS before and after processing and provide novel insights into its potential for treating insomnia.
Methods: This study employed the network pharmacology platform to gather information on the chemical composition of SZS, human targets, genes, molecular networks, and pathways associated with insomnia treatment using SZS. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/ MS) was utilized to analyze the chemical profiles of crude SZS, parched SZS, and their combined decoction.
