Ambrisentan is a highly selective endothelin-A receptor antagonist for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The analysis of the process-related impurities will help not only to optimize the process parameters but also to develop reasonable analytical methods and set the quality standard for a quality control strategy in pharmaceutical manufacturing. During the manufacture of ambrisentan, five unknown impurities were detected in pilot batches ranging from 0.05% to 0.15% by HPLC. All of these impurities were isolated and synthesized successfully and were identified and characterized by LC-MS, HRMS, ESI-MS/MS(Q-Tof), 1D-NMR (H, C, DEPT) and 2D-NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC) techniques. The formation mechanisms that yield these impurities are discussed for the first time. Quality control strategies to deal with these impurities are developed to obtain bulk drug of ICH-grade quality.

Can We Maintain Muscle Mass on a Plant-Based Diet?
Curr Nutr Rep
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to determine whether muscle mass and function can be effectively maintained without relying on animal-based protein sources. We evaluate the quality, digestibility, and essential amino acid profiles of plant-based proteins to understand their potential in preventing and managing sarcopenia.
Recent Finding: Recent studies indicate that while animal-based proteins have traditionally been considered the gold standard for supporting muscle protein synthesis, certain plant-based protein blends, fortified with leucine or other essential amino acids, can produce comparable anabolic responses.
Effects of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy and real-time fluorescent imaging on deep sternal wound infection: a retrospective study.

Division of Plastic Surgery, Integrated Burn & Wound Care Center, Department of Surgery, Shuang-Ho Hospital, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Objective: Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a rare but devastating complication that is estimated to occur in 1-2% of patients after median sternotomy. Current standard of care (SoC) comprises antibiotics, debridement and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) appears to be an effective adjuvant therapy for osteomyelitis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the key barriers that prevent medication administration errors (MAEs) from being reported by nurses in Lebanese hospitals.
Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at Hotel-Dieu de France Hospital using a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 275 responses were recorded and analysed using the IBM SPSS software V.
Six months of hybrid closed-loop therapy improves diabetes-specific positive well-being, and reduces diabetes distress and fear of hypoglycemia: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.
BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care

The Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes, Diabetes Victoria, Carlton, Victoria, Australia.
Introduction: This analysis aimed to investigate diabetes-specific psychological outcomes among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using hybrid closed-loop (HCL) versus standard therapy.
Research Design And Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel-group clinical trial, adults with T1D were allocated to 26 weeks of HCL (MiniMed™ 670G) or standard therapy (insulin pump or multiple daily injections without real-time continuous glucose monitoring). Psychological outcomes (awareness and fear of hypoglycemia; and diabetes-specific positive well-being, diabetes distress, diabetes treatment satisfaction, and diabetes-specific quality of life (QoL)) were measured at enrollment, mid-trial and end-trial.
