Parameters in analytical models for X-ray form factors of ions f(s), based on the inverse Mott-Bethe formula involving a variable number of Gaussians, are determined for a wide range of published data sets {s, f(s)}. The models reproduce the calculated form-factor values close to what is expected from a uniform statistical distribution with limits determined by their precision. For different ions associated with the same atom, the number of Gaussians in the models decreases with increasing net positive charge.

Projections of Public Spending on Pharmaceuticals: A Review of Methods.
Pharmacoeconomics
January 2025
Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre, Brussels, Belgium.
Background: Forecasting future public pharmaceutical expenditure is a challenge for healthcare payers, particularly owing to the unpredictability of new market introductions and their economic impact. No best-practice forecasting methods have been established so far. The literature distinguishes between the top-down approach, based on historical trends, and the bottom-up approach, using a combination of historical and horizon scanning data.

Praziquantel (PZQ) is the most effective treatment for schistosomiasis, commonly administered as a racemic mixture of the two enantiomers. Despite many reports on the pharmacokinetics of PZQ, the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of PZQ and its major metabolite 4-hydroxypraziquantel (4-OH-PZQ) remain poorly understood in goats. In this study, the chiral LC-MS/MS method was further optimized for separating and quantifying PZQ, trans-4-OH-PZQ, and cis-4-OH-PZQ and their enantiomers and then applied for the molecular pharmacokinetics of three analytes in black goat plasma.

A Multianalyte Machine Learning Model to Detect Wrong Blood in Complete Blood Count Tube Errors in a Pediatric Setting.
Clin Chem
January 2025
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, United States.
Background: Multianalyte machine learning (ML) models can potentially identify previously undetectable wrong blood in tube (WBIT) errors, improving upon current single-analyte delta check methodology. However, WBIT detection model performance has not been assessed in a real-world, low-prevalence context. To estimate real-world positive predictive values, we propose a methodology to assess WBIT detection models by evaluating the impact of missing data and by using a "low prevalence" validation data set.
