A method is described for the quantitative extraction of retinal in its original isomeric configuration from retinal-containing pigments. Using excess of hydroxylamine under denaturing conditions, the chromophore of retinal bearing natural products is converted into the corresponding retinaloxime with complete retention of geometric configuration. The retinaloximes can be quantitatively extracted with dichloromethane and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Introduction: Team-based learning (TBL) is a type of active learning. While TBL was first used in medical instruction at the start of the 2000s, its efficacy within the physician assistant (PA) education has yet to be demonstrated. The objective of this study was to determine existing information about TBL in PA education and to demonstrate the need for further study.

The retention behavior in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) remains a complex and poorly understood phenomenon despite the development of various models to explain retention mechanisms. This study aims to deepen the understanding of retention by investigating three distinct stationary phases: high-strength silica octadecyl (HSS C18 SB), charged surface hybrid pentafluorophenyl (CSH PFP), and porous graphitic carbon (PGC) as a nonsilica-based phase. Three mobile phase compositions, i.

Background: Age-related hearing loss and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) independently increase dementia risk. The Ageing and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders randomised controlled trial (RCT) found hearing aids reduce cognitive decline in high-risk older adults with poor hearing.
Methods: This pilot RCT in London memory clinics randomised people with MCI (aged ≥55, untreated hearing loss defined as Pure Tone Average 0.

Anatomical knowledge is fundamental for all species. In particular, myology allows a deeper understanding of ecomorphology-especially for those species hard to observe in the wild-and may be an important source for phylogenetic information. In this study, we analyzed the myological variation of the musculature of the shoulder and arm of the forelimb in species of the suborder Feliformia and its relationship with the phylogenetic history and the locomotor behavior, habitat, and predatory habits of the species within this group, using Leopardus geoffroyi as a case study.

Background: Dementia is a growing public health issue. Non-drug interventions targeting individuals before the onset of overt cognitive decline may be effective. Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is present in > 50% of older adults and associated with progression to dementia.
