We appreciate the use of RPLC and HILIC for the same sample extract. If the columns would consequently be coupled (e.g. in a serial RPLC-HILIC) the authors would have a polarity-extended chromatographic separation in one run.

Alright, let's chat about something that's been buzzing around recently. Ozempic and its potential link to a rare eye condition. 🧐 Harvard Medical School released a study suggesting that semaglutide, found in weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, might be tied to a higher risk of a rare eye disease, NAION, which can lead to vision loss in one eye. 😳 Now, before you hit the panic button, let's break it down. Analysts are saying the study's findings aren't a game-changer. The evidence quality is low, and the sample size was small. Basically, the data isn't strong enough to cause major concern right now. Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, emphasizes that patient safety is a top priority and points out some limitations in the study. Plus, the company has seen massive growth, and Ozempic has benefits beyond weight loss, like reducing heart disease risk. So, while it's essential to stay informed, let's not jump to conclusions just yet. But I ain’t saying you should go run and grab some Ozempic to lose the fat, alright? I’m still on the natural side of healing and weight loss, ladies. Always talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns and remember, it's about finding the right balance for your health journey. What do you think about Ozempic? Let’s talk in the comments. #ozempic #weightlossdrug

We see significant reductions (substitution effects in health economics) in the use of other medicines for Gynecological presentations when cannabinoids are deployed for pain management. Insurance implications? patients need to be encouraged to transition from illicit to legal products, disclose and discuss use with doctors to enable safe deprescribing of other drugs, private health insurers need to reimburse cannabinoids to optimise dose utility (costs) and life insurers need to adjust / improve underwriting guidelines to distinguish methods of administration / HRQoL outcomes in pricing risk.

Could Drug Side Effects Actually Be Beneficial? Discover the intriguing side of medication side effects in this eye-opening article by Dr. Robert H. Shmerling for Harvard Health Publishing.

He also delves into how drug developers are now using these unintended effects to repurpose medications for new treatments. This thoughtful piece sheds light on the silver linings of drug side effects and encourages a balanced perspective on medication use.
