Article Abstract
Collection and quantitative analysis in dry blood using volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS™) potentially offers significant advantages over conventional wet whole blood analysis. This manuscript explores their use for pediatric sampling and explores additional considerations for the validation of the bioanalytical method. HPLC-MS/MS methods for the determination of midazolam and its major metabolite 1-OH midazolam in both whole wet blood, and dry blood collected on VAMS were developed, validated, and used to support an observational clinical study to compare pharmacokinetic parameters in pediatric patients. Validation data met internationally accepted guideline criteria. A strong correlation was observed in calculated concentrations between wet and dry test samples, indicating that VAMS is a suitable technique for use in pediatric clinical studies.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes a high level of blood glutamate, which triggers host defense by activating oxidative stress and inflammation response. However, the concrete mechanism underlying its exacerbating effects on acute lung injury (ALI) severity remains unknown. In the present study, we aim to demonstrate the special role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) in regulating glutamate-related inflammation signaling to facilitate the sustaining injury.

Background: Dry-fermented soybean meal (DFSBM) and wet-fermented soybean meal (WFSBM) were evaluated as alternatives to conventional soybean meal in piglet diets, focusing on growth performance, antioxidant function and fecal microbiome modulation. A total of 225 male piglets (Duroc × (Landrace × Yorkshire)) aged 40 days with a body weight of 13.01 ± 0.

In Thailand, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) persist as a significant public health issue, notwithstanding the affordability of treatments. The primary challenge lies in diagnostic methodologies. According to the Thai National Treatment Guidelines for abnormal vaginal discharge, wet preparation using proportion of white blood cell (WBC) counts and epithelial cell (EC) guides presumptive STI treatment.

Introduction: Sulforaphane (SFN) is recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we explored the effect of SFN on subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the potential mechanisms.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into three groups (n = 12): Sham + vehicle group (Sham + V), SAH + vehicle group (SAH + V), and SAH + SFN group (SAH + S).
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is essential for brain and cognitive development in toddlers; however, global intakes often fall below recommended levels. This study evaluated the bioavailability of DHA from commercial toddler formulas fortified with either microencapsulated high-DHA fish oil powder or high-DHA fish oil. A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted in 120 healthy Indonesian toddlers aged 2-3 years.
