This study developed a simple and sensitive method using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for ganciclovir (GCV) plasma concentrations in cytomegalovirus infectious infants with hearing loss. The method involves a simple protein precipitation procedure that uses no solid-phase or liquid-liquid extraction. The HPLC separation was carried out on a Cadenza CD-C(18) column (3 microm, 4.6 mm x 150 mm) with phosphate buffer (pH 2.5, 25 mM) containing 1% methanol-acetonitrile mixture (4:3, v/v) as a mobile phase at a 0.7 mL/min flow rate. GCV was detected using a fluorescence detection (lambdaex/em: 265/380 nm). The quantification limit was 0.025 microg/mL for 100 microL of plasma sample at which good intra- and inter-assay coefficient of variation values (< 4.96%) and recoveries (94.9-96.5%) were established.

Agent-based models (ABMs) have become essential tools for simulating complex biological, ecological, and social systems where emergent behaviors arise from the interactions among individual agents. Quantifying uncertainty through global sensitivity analysis is crucial for assessing the robustness and reliability of ABM predictions. However, most global sensitivity methods demand substantial computational resources, making them impractical for highly complex models.

Background: Children in low- and middle-income countries face obstacles to optimal language and cognitive development due to a variety of factors related to adverse socioeconomic conditions. One of these factors is compromised caregiver-child interactions and associated pressures on parenting. Early development interventions, such as dialogic book-sharing (DBS), address this variable, with evidence from both high-income countries and urban areas of low- and middle-income countries showing that such interventions enhance caregiver-child interaction and the associated benefits for child cognitive and socioemotional development.

Objective: Originally designed to evaluate stroke risk in individuals with atrial fibrillation unrelated to valvular disease, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, and Sex category - female) is now additionally utilized for the prognostic evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive role of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for lesion severity and long-term survival outcomes in individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Method: This retrospective analysis included 784 patients diagnosed with PAD via computed tomography (CT) angiography, consecutively enrolled from two medical centers.

has been a pioneering model system for investigations into the genetic bases of behaviour. Studies of circadian activity were some of the first behaviours investigated in flies. The Activity Monitoring (DAM) system by TriKinetics played a key role in establishing the fundamental feedback loop of the circadian clock.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a major demyelinating disorder that affects the central nervous system. A growing body of evidence has revealed the involvement of coagulation pathway in the pathogenesis of MS. However, the causal association between coagulation factors and MS is still unclear.
