The potential of using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry for the detection and the characterization of digoxin and a series of related cardenolide analogues was investigated. The spectra were dependent upon the type of support-matrix in which they were recorded; thioglycerol proved to be satisfactory for the characterization of digoxin and allowed for its detection in human urine extract spiked with ca 11 ng ml(-1).

Development of a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for Ritonavir characterizing exposure and drug interaction potential at both acute and steady-state conditions.

Ritonavir (RTV) is a potent CYP3A inhibitor that is widely used as a pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancer to increase exposure to select protease inhibitors. However, as a strong and complex perpetrator of CYP3A interactions, RTV can also enhance the exposure of other co-administered CYP3A substrates, potentially causing toxicity. Therefore, the prediction of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and estimation of dosing requirements for concomitantly administered drugs is imperative.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP) is a disease marked by the thickening of the pericardium, leading to heart function issues, with a focus on patient demographics and clinical profiles in Northeast India over a decade.
- The study analyzed 42 CCP patients between 2011 and 2020, highlighting a high prevalence in younger individuals and a significant history of tuberculosis among participants.
- Symptoms included dyspnea and physical exam findings such as edema and hepatomegaly; imaging revealed notable heart structural changes, emphasizing the need for better diagnosis and management in the region.

Heterogeneous assays, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, have become indispensable for in vitro diagnostics. However, the simple, sensitive, and accurate detection is limited by their multiple washing and incubation steps, and limited amplification methods. In this study, we design a novel approach utilizing analyte-induced hindrance within the rolling circle amplification (RCA)-assisted CRISPR/Cas12a system for simple and highly sensitive homogenous protein detection.

Severe lung injury requiring mechanical ventilation may lead to secondary fibrosis. Senescence, a cell response characterized by cell cycle arrest and a shift towards a proinflammatory/profibrotic phenotype, is one of the involved mechanisms. Here, we explore the contribution of mechanical stretch as trigger of senescence of the respiratory epithelium and its link with fibrosis.
