Isoniazid and acetylisoniazid urine concentrations as a maker of adherence to isoniazid preventative therapy in children
… preventive therapy is needful for efficacy. A urine assay known as the Arkansas test is widely used to monitor the ingestion of isoniazid. However, this test is limited by a drop in sensitivity with increasing time post isoniazid dose. Furthermore, results from the test can be affected by …

The elderly, arginine vasopressin & selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
… related as A VP function determined by serum and urine concentrations was found to be normal in six elderly patients using sertraline. In the elderly there are physiological changes, a high prevalence of medical illnesses and concomitant drug use which may precipitate hyponatraemia. Together with …

The Association of Kangaroo Mother Care, Energy Conservation, and Bonding in Preterm Neonates
… using stratified randomization based on weight. Urine concentrations of Hx, Xa, and UA were measured using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and allantoin was quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods. Bonding was measured using the Mother-to-infant Bonding …
