The concentration of n-hexane in urine was determined in 30 subjects occupationally exposed to n-hexane (median value 59.6 mg/m3) in a shoe factory. The measurement of the substance was performed by means of a Hewlett-Packard 5880 gas chromatograph supplied with a Hewlett-Packard 5970 Mass Selective Detector. The analyses were performed by the head space method (constant volume method, after determination of the urine partition coefficient by the multiple phase equilibration method). The authors found a significant correlation between the n-hexane urine concentrations (microgram/l, Cu) and the n-hexane environmental concentrations (mg/m3, Ci) (r = 0.84; Cu = 0.0669 X Ci + 0.8396).

Article Synopsis
- * The study developed a new procedure using solid supported liquid-liquid extraction (SLE) to effectively separate and analyze ten BPs and five PBs in urine through high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).
- * The method involved optimizing extraction conditions and using a specific pH adjustment, enzyme digestion, and a particular elution solvent mix to accurately quantify the target chemicals in urine samples.

Article Synopsis
- The complexity of the drug market has led to the need for drug regulatory authorities to constantly update their screening methods due to new psychoactive substances (NPS) and nonmedical use of prescription drugs.
- A new advanced drug screening method was developed using high-performance liquid chromatography with Orbitrap mass spectrometry, applied to various sample types (blood, urine, and hair) from drug addicts in China.
- The method showed effective detection limits and precision, with a positive detection rate of 58.9%, revealing that 5.32% of samples tested positive for multiple drugs.

Health risks to humans after "fume and smell events", short-term incidents on aircrafts that are accompanied by unpleasant odour or visible smoke, remain a subject of controversy. We assessed exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOC) and organophosphorus compounds (OPC) by biomonitoring in 375 aircrew members after self-reported "fume and smell events" and in 88 persons of the general population. A total of 20 parameters were analysed in blood and urine by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Purpose: To evaluate the diuretic effects of aqueous (AQ) and hydromethanolic crude extract (HM) the as well as the solvent fractions of the HM extract from Erica arborea flowers in mice.
Methods: Mice were administered AQ and HM crude extracts, along with solvent fractions of HM extracts of flowers, including HXF (n-hexane fraction), EAF (ethyl acetate fraction), and AQF (aqueous fraction), at doses ranging from 100 to 400 mg/kg orally. The effects of these extracts and solvent fractions on urine and salt excretion over 5 hours were compared to the effects of the solvent used for reconstitution and a standard drug (furosemide 10 mg/kg), as well as to each other.

Introduction: Because of the activities and effects they induce, hormones are prohibited for use for anabolic purposes in farm animals intended for slaughter, which is regulated in the European Union by relevant legal provisions. Therefore, there is an obligation to monitor residues of hormones in animals and food of animal origin to ensure consumer safety. A hormone banned but used formerly for fattening cattle, stanozolol, and its metabolite 16β-OH-stanozolol are synthetic compounds that belong to a large group of steroid hormones.
