The recovery of phenytoin from solutions of intact protein components of enteral nutrition products was studied. Diluted phenytoin oral suspension was added to 10 1-mL samples of solutions of sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, a mixture of sodium and calcium caseinates, and calcium chloride as well as to 10 1-mL samples of a distilled water control to produce theoretical concentrations of 10 micrograms/mL. The samples were filtered using an ultrafiltration technique and assayed for phenytoin concentration by high-performance liquid chromatography. The mean concentration of phenytoin in the filtrates of the test samples was significantly lower than the mean concentration in the control samples. The recovery of phenytoin from sodium caseinate solutions was significantly lower than that from solutions of calcium caseinate or calcium chloride. There was no significant difference between recovery of phenytoin from sodium caseinate solutions and that from solutions of sodium and calcium caseinates. Decreased phenytoin absorption from enteral nutrient solutions in vitro may be associated with the presence of caseinate salts and calcium chloride. However, this relationship cannot be extrapolated to in vivo absorption.

Background: Although rare, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) can result in significant neurological complications, particularly after childbirth. Early diagnosis poses a challenge due to symptom overlap with other conditions. Limited publications and underdiagnosis of CVT are prevalent in developing nations, notably in Ethiopia.

Phenytoin is a commonly prescribed antiepileptic medication for the prevention and treatment of tonic-clonic or partial seizures. Thrombocytopenia is a rare and serious adverse effect of phenytoin. This case report presents the case of a patient with severe thrombocytopenia induced by phenytoin for the treatment of tonic-clonic seizures.

This work presents a sensitive and accurate analytical method for the determination of phenytoin at trace levels in domestic wastewater and synthetic urine samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after the metal sieve-linked double syringe liquid-phase microextraction (MSLDS-LPME) method. A metal sieve was produced in our laboratory in order to disperse water-immiscible extraction solvents into aqueous media. Univariate optimization studies for the selection of proper extraction solvent, extraction solvent volume, mixing cycle, and initial sample volume were carried out.
