Pandemic uncertainties cloud nebulizer use. But the COPD Foundation’s CNC offers science-backed guidance to minimize aerosol risks in hospitals and homes, ensuring vital treatments reach patients without compromising safety. Unfounded avoidance harms, so we’re finding ways to make nebulizers shine even in outbreaks. More research needed, but the future’s hopeful for these crucial tools.

Novel bioanalytical approaches to drug development – 5-AZA a case study to be presented at the 67th ASMS Conference in Atlanta
Lovelace Biomedical
by Biotech_Research
6M ago
Within drug development, the quantitation of drug levels within the systemic circulation and target tissues can provide insight into tolerance and / or efficacy. For small molecules the mainstay for quantitative analysis is LC-MS/MS. 5-azacytidine has been used in the treatment of lung cancer, and for years the nucleosidic nature of 5-azacytidine resulted in significant interference with parent compound’s MRM mass transitions. In order to solve this the Lovelace bioanalytical team utilized a novel approach which enabled quantification from plasma and multiple tissues (lung, brain, and liver) w ..read more
