A novel rapid multiresidue/multiclass procedure with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) detection has been developed to screen for the presence of veterinary drug residues in animal tissues. The method uses a new sample preparation procedure loosely based on QuEChERS (QUick, Easy, CHeap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) methodology. Validation to date has been restricted to chicken muscle and has been performed according to European Commission guidelines [COMMISSION DECISION of 12 August 2002 implementing Council Directive 96/23/EC concerning the performance of analytical methods and the interpretation of results] for nitroimidazoles, sulphonamides, fluoroquinolones, quinolones, ionophores and dinitrocarbanilide. Recent work has shown that the method is also applicable to macrolide and lincosamide antibiotics, benzimidazoles, levamisole, avermectins and tranquillisers.

Technology-critical elements (TCEs) refer to the elements that play an important role in many emerging technologies and the production of advanced materials, and these include lanthanides, tungsten and vanadium. Actinides, Tl, and Pb, which also belong to TCEs, are abundantly used in power generation, industrial applications, and modern agricultural practices. The information on the influence of these elements on the aquatic environment and biota is still rather scarce.

Background: BCL-2 was the first gene identified to have antiapoptotic effects, and venetoclax is an oral selective BCL-2 inhibitor, which has great potential in the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for intensive therapy. Notably, posaconazole, an oral antifungal drug, is also a strong factor that can affect blood venetoclax concentrations. To the best of our knowledge, the relationship between BCL-2 expression, posaconazole, and venetoclax, as well as their influence on treatment efficacy and the prognosis of patients with AML, has not been reported.

Background: Fluorine-18 (F) flumazenil (FMZ) has been synthesized using various precursors, and its role has been explored in imaging Gamma-aminobutyric acid-A receptors.
Aim And Objective: The main objective was to synthesize (F) FMZ using isotopic substitution.
Materials And Methods: Around 18 ± 2 GBq was added to the module, dried, and radiolabeling was standardized with 3.

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has shown to be a promising agent for prostate cancer imaging under PET-CT. With the automation in radiolabeling with 68Ga, using iTG 68Ge/68Ga generator, it has helped introduce various new diagnostic agents and achieve good manufacturing practices (GMP) simultaneously. However, before any radiopharmaceutical is put into clinical usage, it should always be checked for its radiochemical purity and other quality parameters before injecting in the patient.
