To assess whether there is a role for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in screening for hypertension, we conducted Bayesian analysis of office blood pressure (OBP) as a diagnostic "test" in populations with different prior probabilities (PP) of hypertension. OBP was considered a positive test if systolic blood pressure was greater than 140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure was greater than...

In this study, different derivative spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the simultaneous determination of chlorpheniramine maleate (CP), phenylephrine HCl (PE) and phenylpropanolamine HCl (PP) in their ternary mixtures and in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Spectra of single component and ternary mixtures of various concentrations and combinations from zero- to fourth-derivation were obtai...

Although the number of studies documenting presence Microplastics (MP) in fish is increasing, research focused on its detoxification are very limited. In this study, rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) were randomly divided into two groups after being fed with MPs (15% polypropylene [PP] +15% polyethylene [PE]) for 2 months. MP excretion without any application (PP+PE) group I fish, and hydrogen...
