A double-blind trial of temazepam premedication for day cases was undertaken. Effective anxiolysis was recorded in the groups that received temazepam 10 or 20 mg and there was no prolongation of delayed recovery times as measured by memory test cards. All patients were discharged from the day unit 3 hours after the administration of general anaesthesia.

Purpose: Toxicological analyses of biological samples play important roles in forensic and clinical investigations. Ingested drugs are excreted in urine as conjugates with endogenous substances such as glucuronic acid; hydrolyzing these conjugates improves the determination of target drugs by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In this study, we sought to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates of five psychoactive drugs (11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol, oxazepam, lorazepam, temazepam, and amitriptyline).

In this research, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by precipitation polymerization using oxazepam (OZ) as a template molecule and was subsequently applied as a selective sorbent for the extraction of diazepam (DZP) and its metabolites in urine samples using an SPE cartridge. OZ, temazepam (TZ), nordiazepam (NZ) and DZP were analyzed in the final extracts by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The SPE extraction steps were optimized, and the evaluation of an imprinting factor was carried out.

Article Synopsis
- Psychotropic medications are widely prescribed but can harm the environment, leading to a need for effective detection methods.
- The study created a reliable method using ultra-performance liquid chromatography to analyze 47 psychotropic drugs across various water and sludge samples.
- The findings showed that many of these medications persist in wastewater treatment plants, highlighting issues with their removal and potential environmental impact.
Single-Cell Meta-Analysis of Neutrophil Activation in Kawasaki Disease and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Reveals Potential Shared Immunological Drivers.

Article Synopsis
- Kawasaki disease (KD) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) exhibit similar symptoms, particularly cardiovascular issues, suggesting possible shared immune response mechanisms, especially through neutrophil activation.
- A comprehensive analysis of neutrophil activity was conducted using data from 103 pediatric patients across various conditions, revealing distinct blood signatures and activated neutrophil types unique to KD and MIS-C.
- Findings indicate that CD177 neutrophils in both KD and MIS-C display hyperactivated functions and similar gene expression patterns, which are linked to systemic damage and can potentially guide treatment options with existing FDA-approved drugs.
