Introduction: The aim of this study was to report the experience of an epidemiological field survey for which data were collected and analyzed using tablets.
Methods: The devices used Epi Info 7 (Android version), which has been modeled a database with variables of the traditional form.
Results: Twenty-one households were randomly selected in the study area; 75 residents were registered and completed household interviews with socioeconomic and environmental risk variables.
Conclusions: This new technology is a valuable tool for collecting and analyzing data from the field, with advantageous benefits to epidemiological surveys.

J Sep Sci
January 2025
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy.
The objective of this study is to develop an HPLC-UV method for the cost-effective and quantitative determination of vitamin D3 in food, even in the presence of vitamin D2, with a specific focus on egg yolk. During method development, the performance of three stationary phases in resolving the peak of vitamin D2 from that of vitamin D3 was investigated. The physicochemical properties of these phases differed particularly in the extent of hydrophobicity and silanophilic activity, including a GraceSmart RP C18 column without silanol endcapping, a Robusta RP C18 column with silanol endcapping, and a Waters Xbridge RP C18 column with ethylene-bridged hybrid (BEH) particle technology.
