New equations for spectrophotometric calculation of the concentrations of nystatin and its semiproducts in the finished drugs are presented. The results obtained with the use of these equations correlated with those of the biological assay. It was found that the difference in the standard deviations with regard to the one-point procedure for the assay of nystatin, the method of 3 equidistant wavelengths and the method of the background algebraic correction was statistically insignificant. The one-point procedure for the assay of nystatin based on measuring the solution optical density at one wavelength, i. e. 304.5 nm should be considered most handy in practice.

Purpose: Financial toxicity (FT) has been linked to higher symptom burden and poorer clinical outcomes for patients with cancer. Despite the availability of validated tools to measure FT, a simple screen remains an unmet need. We evaluated item 12 ("My illness has been a financial hardship to my family and me") of the COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) measure as a single-item FT screening measure.

With the importance of time and cost in today's world, it is essential to solve problems in the best way possible. Optimization is a process used to achieve this goal and is applied in several areas, one of which is route planning. Route optimization minimizes the use of resources such as fuel, distance, and time.

Background: We evaluated if the course of recovery from sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) can be predicted using variables collected at admission.
Methods: A total of 63 patients admitted for sepsis-induced AKI in our Mangalore ICU were evaluated and baseline demographic and clinical/laboratory parameters, including serum creatinine (SCr), base excess (BE), Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI), Caval Index, R wave variability index (RVI), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal resistivity index (RI) using renal doppler and need for inotropes were assessed on admission. Patients were managed as per standard protocol.

Objectives: To assess the association between gender equality beliefs and self-reported intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among California men.
Methods: We analyzed men's data (N = 3609) from three waves (2021, 2022, and 2023) of cross-sectional data from a statewide sample of California adults. We assessed gender equality beliefs using a three-item measure adapted from the World Values Survey, with higher scores representing more gender unequal beliefs (e.
