In the present work three different SPME fibers have been investigated for simultaneous determination of methyl-, butyl- and phenyltins by using gas chromatography-pulsed flame photometer detection (GC-PFPD). The optimal experimental conditions for each fiber were determined and the respective figures of merit were evaluated. All fiber evaluated presented similar limit of detection (sub ng L⁻¹) and requires two internal standards to reach an acceptable repeatability. However, the CAR-PDMS fiber offers the best compromise between selectivity and sensibility for determination of organotins selected. The developed method was validated for analysis of certified reference material and spiked samples, obtaining satisfactory results. Finally, some contaminated samples were analyzed demonstrating the applicability of developed method for determination of organotin compounds in the environment and for monitoring their biochemical cycle.

Introduction: Despite high coverage of routine childhood vaccines, uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the Pacific Island nation of Tonga has been slow. Culturally appropriate communication resources on the importance, safety, and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine are critical to support acceptance and uptake. To develop these resources, it is important to understand what people want to know.

Purpose: To determine the real-world incidence and predictive factors for venous and arterial thromboembolic events (VTE/AT) in ovarian cancer patients treated with poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (iPARP).
Methods/patients: A multicenter retrospective study involving 329 ovarian cancer patients who initiated iPARP treatment between January 2015 and December 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of VTE/AT.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) play a pivotal role in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (GC). However, the biomarkers used to predict ICI efficacy are limited due to their reliance on single or static tumor characteristics. This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML) model that incorporates dynamic changes in clinlabomics data to optimize the predictive accuracy of ICI efficacy.

In agriculture, biosecurity, and human health, the rapid and accurate detection of pathogens and pests is crucial. Our study investigates the sensitivity and practicality of six guide RNA (gRNA) production methods for use in Nanopore Cas9-targeted sequencing (nCATS), focusing on their implications for multiplexed pathogen and pest detection. Each production method generated a library of eight gRNAs capable of excising ~ 1.
