A method is described for the determination of morphine in serum. Separation and quantitation are performed by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. A sample size of 100 microL or less is required for detection of concentrations as low as 1 to 2 ng/mL. In trials with standard solutions, recovery was 75%. The between-run and within-run coefficients of variation were 7.3% (over the range of 5 to 200 ng/mL) and 9.1% (at 5 ng/mL), respectively.

Background: Smoking negatively impacts postoperative outcomes but acute abstinence from smoking during hospitalization can increase postoperative pain, lower pain thresholds, disrupt pain management, and trigger hyperalgesia due to abrupt nicotine withdrawal in tobacco users. Nicotine replacement therapy has been recommended to minimize these complications. We hypothesized that a high dose (21 mg/24 h) transdermal nicotine (TDN) patch would reduce postoperative pain and opioid requirements.

The opioid crisis has emphasized identification of opioid-sparing analgesics. This study was designed as a prospective trial with retrospective control group to determine feasibility for implementing a high-dose prolonged magnesium sulfate infusion for adjuvant analgesia in the pediatric intensive care unit. Approval was granted for study of children receiving total pancreatectomy with islet cell autotransplantation and liver transplantation ages 3-18 years.

Background: Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs) are commonly utilized in both human and veterinary medicine to treat and manage a range of infections. These antibiotics are recognized for their narrow therapeutic window, with an overdose potentially resulting in severe side effects like kidney and ear damage. Hence, the implementation of a quick, precise, and on-the-spot testing method is crucial in clinical settings.
