Article Abstract
A method involving ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the analysis of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in equine plasma. The analytes were recovered from plasma by liquid-liquid extraction using methyl tert-butyl ether and separated on a sub-2 micron column. The mobile phase was composed of 2 mM ammonium formate and methanol. A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was used to detect the analytes in positive electrospray ionization mode with selected reaction monitoring. The limits of detection, quantification and confirmation for both analytes were 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 pg/mL, respectively. The linear dynamic range of quantification was 1.0-1,000 pg/mL. During storage, both analytes in equine plasma were unstable at room temperature but stable at -20 and -70°C. The retention time and product ion ratios were employed as the criteria for confirmation of the presence of the analytes in plasma. The total analysis time was 2 min. The method is fast, selectively sensitive, reproducible, reliable and fully validated.

Early and accurate identification of septicemia in neonatal foals improves survival. In human medicine, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio (NMR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) aid in early bacteremia detection. This study evaluated the diagnostic utility of these markers in conjunction with other clinical and hematological parameters in hospitalized foals < 5 days old to predict positive blood culture at admission and to distinguish between Gram-positive, Gram-negative, or polymicrobial bacteremia.

Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic commonly used in veterinary anesthesia. A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method was developed to quantify free and total ropivacaine in dog plasma, which included rapid equilibrium dialysis. The method was validated for selectivity, specificity, matrix effect, calibration curve and range, accuracy and precision, carry-over, stability, and reinjection reproducibility according to the International Conference on Harmonization M10 guidelines.

Calcium dobesilate has recently been used for treating lameness in horses because it enhances microvascular processes and reduces intraosseous pressure. Lameness caused by disorders in bone metabolism and increased intraosseous pressure, such as navicular disease, osseous cyst-like lesions and pedal bone oedema, are commonly treated with rest, anti-inflammatory agents and surgery. Calcium dobesilate has the potential to influence the pathophysiology of these diseases, thereby improving healing.
