After oral doses of piracetam this drug is detectable in serum as well as in urine after formation of the red Fe(III)-hydroxamatecomplex by thin-layer densitometry. Detection in serum requires extraction with a mixture of dichloromethane/ methanol, while urine can be used directly after dilution. The limit of quantification in urine is 100 micrograms/ml and in serum 4.0 micrograms/ml. The new method was validated by HPLC. The coefficient of correlation was 0.9999% for determination in urine and 0.9986% for determination in serum.

Gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPRs) overexpressed in many cancers are known as promising biomarkers to target tumors such as prostate, breast, and lung cancers. As the early diagnosis of the cancers can serve for better treatment of the patients, [In]In-DOTA-Pip-D-Phe-Gln-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Sta-Leu-NH2 ([In]In-RM2) was prepared using an in-house developed Sn/In generator. 0.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) involves administering rapid on-site analysis to provide fast biochemical testing results. POCT reduces delays in clinical decision-making and eliminates the need to transport and prepare clinical samples for immediate diagnosis or clinical intervention by healthcare professionals. Herein, a novel methodology integrating thin-layer chromatography-based two-dimensional separation with miniature mass spectrometry was developed for rapid on-site clinical analysis.

Objective: This research primarily focuses on exploring the changes in intrapulmonary vascular volume (IPVV) in radiological patterns of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), thereby inferring the possible mechanisms of the co-occurrence of diabetes and UIP patterns.
Methods: Thin-layer data were post-processed on the basis of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and quantitatively assessed for IPVV. Changes in IPVV were compared between T2DM combined with UIP modality and T2DM non-UIP modality.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for extracting and separating compounds from complex mixtures was developed using a circular chip and centrifugal force, enhancing the efficiency of microsolid phase extraction and chromatography.
- The technique utilizes rice husk to create an effective sorbent for model drugs curcumin and phenazopyridine, and evaluates extraction factors using the one-variable-at-a-time method.
- Results showed strong correlations between analyte concentration and detection intensities, with low limits of detection and high recovery rates in urine samples, indicating the method's reliability and effectiveness.

Chemical and physical processes on the surfaces of amorphous solids have been the focus of many studies over the past decades. These studies have established that dynamics in a thin layer near a glass surface are often dramatically faster than those in the glass bulk. Nevertheless, recent advances also emphasize the need for new experimental techniques capable of characterizing the structure and dynamics of the near-surface regions in glassy materials at the molecular length scale.
