In this paper, we employed a direct analysis in real time (DART) ion source coupled to QTRAP mass spectrometry for the analysis of chloramphenicol (CAP) in honey. The accuracy of the DART-MS/MS method for the analysis of CAP in honey was evaluated by comparison with data generated by a validated HPLC-MS/MS method. The sample preparation procedure was optimized to obtain sensitive and accurate determination of trace CAP residue in honey at concentrations less than 1.0 µg/kg. The DART-MS/MS method offers faster analysis time, lower cost per analysis, and reduced matrix effects and simplicity compared to HPLC-MS/MS method. Fifty-two honey samples collected from a Chinese market were analyzed using two methods. The results of the two methods are in good agreement, suggesting DART-MS/MS as a potential technique for the direct detection of trace amounts of veterinary drugs in complex matrixes.

Background: Since 2019, maternity care in Australia has been guided by the national maternity policy, Woman-centred care: Strategic directions for Australian maternity services (the Strategy). The Strategy has four core values (safety, respect, choice and access), which underpin 12 principles of woman-centred care.
Aim: To describe women's experiences of receiving maternity care in Australia and explore how their care aligned with the values and principles of the Strategy.

Background: Colorectal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in China. Timely screening is essential for reducing mortality, but implementing comprehensive programs in Chinese healthcare settings is challenging.
Objective: This study identifies barriers and facilitators to colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in China and recommends effective implementation strategies.

Background: In South Africa, there is no centralized HIV surveillance system where key populations (KPs) data, including gay men and other men who have sex with men, female sex workers, transgender persons, people who use drugs, and incarcerated persons, are stored in South Africa despite being on higher risk of HIV acquisition and transmission than the general population. Data on KPs are being collected on a smaller scale by numerous stakeholders and managed in silos. There exists an opportunity to harness a variety of data, such as empirical, contextual, observational, and programmatic data, for evaluating the potential impact of HIV responses among KPs in South Africa.

Background: eHealth interventions constitute a promising approach to disease prevention, particularly because of their ability to facilitate lifestyle changes. Although a rather recent development, eHealth interventions might be able to promote brain health and reduce dementia risk in older adults.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspective of general practitioners (GPs) on the potentials and barriers of eHealth interventions for brain health.

ConspectusA key challenge in modern chemistry research is to mimic life-like functions using simple molecular networks and the integration of such networks into the first functional artificial cell. Central to this endeavor is the development of signaling elements that can regulate the cell function in time and space by producing entities of code with specific information to induce downstream activity. Such artificial signaling motifs can emerge in nonequilibrium systems, exhibiting complex dynamic behavior like bistability, multistability, oscillations, and chaos.
