Atmospheric moisture can contaminate calibrants for quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy and cause systematic errors in qNMR measurements. Therefore, coulometric Karl Fischer (CKF) titration was used to evaluate the hygroscopic tendencies of several organic compounds that are commonly used as calibrants for qNMR spectroscopy: benzoic acid, dimethyl sulfone, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, acetanilide, dimethyl terephthalate, and 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene. Samples were placed in a sealed humidity chamber at 100% relative humidity (RH) and a temperature of 295.4 ± 0.9 K. Over the course of months, portions of each sample were analyzed by CKF titration. All the compounds except dimethyl sulfone were resistant to changes in water content and thus are good choices for qNMR experiments. In contrast, dimethyl sulfone absorbed about 25 mass % of water over 5 weeks at 100% RH; such behavior could compromise qNMR experiments under certain conditions.

Background/objectives: Acupuncture is an efficacious integrative therapy for treating pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance (the psychoneurological symptom cluster) in breast cancer survivors. However, the mechanisms underlying its effects remain unclear, and related metabolomics studies are limited. This study aimed to examine serum metabolite changes after acupuncture and their relationships to symptom improvement.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), also known as dimethyl sulfone, is a naturally occurring sulphur-containing compound that can be found in plants, animals and humans. MSM can also be a metabolite of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Due to their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, both MSM and DMSO are prohibited substances in horseracing.

The Brazilian National Metrology Institute produced a suite of certified reference materials (CRMs) intended as internal standards (ISs) for quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR). Being a ratio primary method, the use of qNMR in organic chemistry has already crossed the borders of research laboratories, despite the cost of instrumentation. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) proposed eight potential qNMR ISs.

Frailty in cirrhosis or advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is a relevant prognostic factor. In the present study, we aimed to analyze potential biomarkers associated with frailty and its improvement in patients with ACLD. We analyzed the serum of outpatients with ACLD who participated in a previous study (Román, Hepatol Commun 2024) in which frailty was assessed using the liver frailty index (LFI), and patients who were frail or prefrail were randomized to a multifactorial intervention (home exercise, branched-chain amino acids, and probiotics) or control for 12 months.
