Determination of Mirabegron in rat plasma by UPLC–MS/MS after oral and intravenous administration
SUMMARY Mirabegron is a kind of β 3 adrenergic receptor agonist which is an effective drug for the treatment of overactive bladder. In this research, a UPLC – MS/MS method is developed and validated for the study of mirabegron pharmacokinetic in rats. A protein precipitation method is applied for sample preparation with acetonitrile. m/z 397.3 → 379.6, m/z 326.4 → 121.0 for mirabegron, tolterodine (IS), respectively in the positive ion mode was performed for quantitation. The method is reliable and reproducible in our study (intra-day precision ≤ 11.06%, inter-day precision ≤ 11.43%) with concentration curves li...

Primary infratentorial diffuse large b-cell lymphoma: a challenging diagnosis in an immunocompetent patient
We describe the case of a female patient, 52 years old, with dizziness and left motor incoordination for 2 weeks. Brain MRI magnetic resonance imaging) revealed a hyperintense lesion on T2-weighted images, without restricted diffusion, in the left middle cerebellar peduncle. Spectroscopy demonstrated peak of lipids and perfusion did not show any elevation in relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV). The patient underwent an open biopsy and resection, and the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was established. The patient received intravenous dexamethasone with symptoms remission, followed by four cycles of met...
