A method for the determination of amoxicillin in honey by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was established. The samples were dissolved by phosphate buffer and cleaned-up by solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The analytes were determined by HPLC-MS/MS on a C18 column with methanol and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid solution as mobile phases with gradient elution. The analysis of amoxicillin was performed under selected reaction monitoring mode by selecting one parent ion and two daughter ions as qualitative ions and the most abundant daughter ion as quantitative ion. The external standard was used for quantitative analysis in this method. The calibration curve showed good linearity in the range of 2.0-100.0 microg/L with good precision and accuracy (r2 > 0.99). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 2.0 microg/kg and 5.0 microg/kg, respectively. The average recoveries of amoxicillin in spiked honey ranged from 74.2% to 81.7% with the intra-day precisions (relative standard deviations, RSDs) from 2.8% to 7.8% and the inter-day precisions (RSDs) from 9.1% to 11.3%. This method is convenient and suitable for the determination of amoxicillin in honey.

The diagnostic process and discrimination of mucosal lesions present a formidable challenge for numerous clinicians, primarily attributable to the common overlap of clinical manifestations observed across various categories, including infectious, autoimmune, connective tissue, and systemic vascular inflammatory diseases. In cases of mucosal lesions, syphilis presents distinctive characteristics that can help clinicians differentiate it from other conditions. The most common manifestation of primary syphilis is mostly a painless, firm, indurated ulcer known as a chancre, which typically appears at the site of inoculation, with enlargement of regional lymph nodes.

Laser scribing is a promising technology for the rapid and large-scale production of low-cost electrochemical sensors from diverse substrates. Polyimide has been the most popular so far because of its low cost, flexibility and capability of generating high-quality porous graphene films, known as laser-induced graphene (LIG). Herein we report the electrochemistry of chloramphenicol (CAP) on LIG electrodes and its determination in honey samples.

This article summarizes the top 20 research studies of 2023 identified as POEMs (patient-oriented evidence that matters) and the most highly rated guidelines. A large randomized controlled trial found that the time antihypertensive medications are taken has no effect on important outcomes. A fixed-dose approach to statin prescribing is not inferior to a treat-to-target strategy for management of lipid levels.

Veterinary drugs used in animal husbandry raise public health concerns due to their residues in the bodies of animals. This study employs a simple and quick sample preparation technique, in-tube solid phase extraction, to extract drug residues from foodstuffs, including eggs, honey, and water. This technique utilizes the synergy of graphitic-based materials and polyurethane sponges (PU) combined through dip coating method to make reusable sorbents for extracting drugs, including amoxicillin, paracetamol, ciprofloxacin, and cefixime.
