A simple, sensitive and specific reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for the simultaneous quantitative determination of omeprazole and its three metabolites in human plasma was developed and validated. This method provides excellent chromatographic resolution and peak shape for the four components and the internal standard within a 17 min run time. The simple extraction method results in a clean base line and relatively high extraction efficiency. The method was validated over the range of 2-2000 ng/mL, with 2.0 ng/mL as the lower limit of quantification. Within- and between-day accuracies for five different concentrations ranged from 95 to 102%, and 95 to 114%, respectively. Within- and between-day precision ranged from 1.1 to 6.3% and 0.5 to 6.2%, respectively. Simplicity and high throughput make this method suitable for clinical pharmacokinetic studies.

Determining an optimal case definition using mid-upper arm circumference with or without weight for age to identify childhood wasting in the Philippines.
PLoS One

Research Department, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
In resource-limited areas, where accurate weight-for-height Z-scores are hard to obtain, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is a simple tool to identify wasted children. MUAC alone, however, may miss identification of many wasted children, leading to untimely intervention and potentially death. Our study aimed to identify the best-performing case definition to detect wasting by Weight-for-Height z-scores (WHZ) in Filipino children aged 6-59 months.

In recent years, the morphology control of semiconductor nanomaterials has been attracting increasing attention toward maximizing their functional properties and reaching their end use in real-world devices. However, the development of easy and cost-effective methods for preparing large-scale patterned semiconductor structures on flexible temperature-sensitive substrates remains ever in demand. In this study, vapor post-treatment (VPT) is investigated as a potential, simple and low-cost post-preparative method to morphologically modify gravure-printed zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticulate thin films at low temperatures.

In this work, we present an experimental approach for monitoring the temperature of submicrometric, real-time operating electrical circuits using luminescence thermometry. For this purpose, we utilized lanthanide-doped up-converting nanocrystals as nanoscale temperature probes, which, combined with a highly sensitive confocal photoluminescence microscope, enabled temperature monitoring with spatial resolution limited only by the diffraction of light. To validate our concept, we constructed a simple model of an electrical microcircuit based on a single silver nanowire with a diameter of approximately 100 nm and a length of about 50 µm, whose temperature increase was induced by electric current flow.
