Objectives: In the clinical setting, the analysis and quantification of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) poses several challenges including analyte instability and poor retention by reverse phase HPLC systems. In this article we describe a rapid hydrophilic interaction chromatography ultraviolet method for the measurement of total vitamin C in plasma which overcomes these issues.
Methods: Ascorbic acid and the internal standard were separated under isocratic conditions using a Waters BEH-Amide column and a mobile phase containing 0.005 M potassium phosphate in 80% acetonitrile.
Results: The proposed method was validated and showed good precision (coefficient of variation <5%), accuracy (>99%), and analyte stability after extraction (>24 h).
Conclusions: The simple sample preparation allows full automation and rapid analytical run times of the assay and is therefore suitable for a high-throughput clinical chromatography laboratory.

Warfarin is a widely used vitamin K antagonist (VKA) with known pleiotropic effects beyond anticoagulation. Preclinical and case-control evidence suggests that warfarin may affect hematopoiesis, but longitudinal human evidence is lacking. To explore this potential effect, we conducted a post-hoc analysis of participants in the Hokusai-VTE and ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trials, which randomized patients to warfarin or the direct oral anticoagulant edoxaban with routine laboratory testing at predefined follow-up visits.

Background: Several studies have investigated the risk of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and its prevention with vitamin C. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of vitamin C for prevention of CRPS development or recurrence after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is lacking.
Methods: This retrospective single-center observational cohort study, which utilized propensity-score matching (PSM), was conducted from January 2017 to December 2021.

Objectives: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used among these patients to prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in anticoagulated patients. However, their clinical benefits among patients receiving OACs with a history of UGIB remain inconclusive. This study aimed to summarize the clinical benefits of PPIs for the secondary prevention of recurrent UGIB among patients using OACs.

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is biochemically characterized by elevated thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH]) levels, while free thyroxine (FT4) levels remain normal. Given the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Iran, investigating the association between vitamin D levels and SCH may improve treatment. A case-control study was conducted at the endocrinology clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital, affiliated with Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences.
