Article Abstract
We report two separate sample-preparation procedures and a "high-pressure" liquid-chromatographic method for quantitating nine tricyclic antidepressant drugs: trimipramine, doxepin, amitriptyline, imipramine, desmethyldoxepin, nortriptyline, desipramine, maprotiline, and protriptyline. The drugs are extracted from 1 mL of serum by a single manual hexane extraction or by using DuPont's PREP I Automated Sample Processor. The drugs from either process are chromatographed on a mu-Bondapak-CN column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile/methanol/Na2HPO4, 5 mmol/L (60/15/25 by vol), pH 7.0, at a flow rate of 2.0 mL/min. Absorbance at 254 nm is linear with drug concentration from 25 to 1000 mg/L for each drug. With the manual extraction procedure the detection limit was 10 mg/L, absolute recovery 20-44%, within-run precision (CV) 10.1%, and run-to-run precision 11.1%. The performance of automated sample extraction was better, with a detection limit of 5 mg/l, absolute recovery 72-97%, within-run precision 6.1%, and run-to-run precision 6.6%.

Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Denver, Denver, Colorado, United States of America.
Amino acid identification is crucial across various scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, pharmaceutical research, and medical diagnostics. However, traditional methods such as mass spectrometry require extensive sample preparation and are time-consuming, complex and costly. Therefore, this study presents a pioneering Machine Learning (ML) approach for automatic amino acid identification by utilizing the unique absorption profiles from an Elliptical Dichroism (ED) spectrometer.

Background: Examples of group B red cells that react weakly or not at all with anti-B have been described. Subgroups of B such as B, B, B, and B are rare and are less frequently reported. We studied the frequency of subgroups of B in our healthy blood donor population and serologically characterized and differentiated these subgroups.

Background And Objectives: Objective of the study is to explore the possibility of utilization of seven part fully automated hematology analyzer for enumeration of residual leukocytes (residual white blood cells [rWBCs]) in leukoreduced packed red cells (LR-PRCs) prepared from whole blood at a blood center as an alternate to the gold standard method, flow cytometry. In this study, we evaluate the performance characteristic of hematology analyzer against flow cytometry for the estimation of rWBCs in 39 LR-PRC units.
Materials And Methods: PRCs prepared from whole blood donations by 39 donors were leukoreduced and their volumes were noted.

General Practice, Wad Medani Hospital, Wad Medani, SDN.
To enhance patient outcomes in pediatric cancer, a better understanding of the medical and biological risk variables is required. With the growing amount of data accessible to research in pediatric cancer, machine learning (ML) is a form of algorithmic inference from sophisticated statistical techniques. In addition to highlighting developments and prospects in the field, the objective of this systematic study was to methodically describe the state of ML in pediatric oncology.

Objectives: Mutations in the gene encoded glycoprotein progranulin (PGRN), cause 5-10 % of all cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The aim of our study was to verify the analytical and clinical performance of an automated chemiluminescent immunoassay method for PGRN measurement recently developed (Chorus Evo, Diesse Diagnostica, Italy).
Methods: Five plasma pools and residual plasma samples (KEDTA) from 25 control subjects (11 males, 62-79 years; 14 females, 54-76 years) and 151 patients (70 males, 53-81 years; 81 females, 44-82 years) with different neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), were assayed.
