The combined technique between MS and HPLC is commonly known as LC-MS. Combining the two analytical methods reduces experimental error and improves accuracy. The application of LC-MS is very useful in situations that involve a huge number of compounds, such as environmental effluents.
Imagine a race where the runners are molecules from a mysterious mixture. HPLC sets the stage for this separation marathon. The sample, dissolved in a solvent, acts as the starting line. A pressurized stream of solvent pushes the molecules through a packed column, like an obstacle course. Each molecule interacts uniquely with the obstacles and the solvent, causing them to separate along the way. Finally, a detector acts as the finish line, identifying and measuring each molecule as it emerges. This powerful technique allows scientists to unmask unknown competitors (compounds), determine the number of each type of runner (quantify components), and even check if anyone cheated (assess purity).

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Introduction
• Chromatographic technique used to separate a
mixture of compounds in analytical chemistry and
biochemistry with the purpose of identifying,
quantifying or purifying the individual components of
the mixture
• HPLC is a separation technique that involves:
The injection of a small volume of liquid sample into a tube
packed with tiny particles (3 to 5 micron (µm) in diameter
called the stationary phase)
May 29, 2017 3
4. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
Individual components of the sample are moved down the
packed tube (column) with a liquid (mobile phase) forced
through the column by high pressure delivered by a pump
In principle, LC and HPLC work the same way except the
speed, efficiency, sensitivity and ease of operation of HPLC
is vastly superior
• Components are separated from one another by the
column packing that involves various chemical
and/or physical interactions between their molecules
and the packing particles
May 29, 2017 4
5. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
• Separated components are detected at the exit of
this tube (column) by a flow-through device
(detector) that measures their amount
May 29, 2017 5
6. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
General History
• The acronym HPLC, coined by the late Prof. Csaba
Horváth for his 1970 Pittcon paper, originally
indicated the fact that high pressure was used to
generate the flow required for liquid
chromatography in packed columns
• In the beginning, pumps only had a pressure
capability of 500 psi. This was called high pressure
liquid chromatography, or HPLC
May 29, 2017 6
7. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
• These new HPLC instruments could develop up to
6,000 psi [400 bars] of pressure, and incorporated
improved injectors, detectors, and columns. HPLC
really began to take hold in the mid-to late-1970s

Classification
• Depending upon the phase system (stationary and
mobile phase) HPLC is classified into following types:
1) Normal Phase HPLC:
It has polar stationary phase and non-polar mobile phase
The stationary phase is usually silica and typical mobile
phases are hexane, methylene chloride, chloroform,
diethyl ether, and mixtures of these
Polar samples are thus retained on the polar surface of the
column packing longer than less polar materials
May 29, 2017 9
10. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
2) Reverse Phase HPLC:
The stationary phase is nonpolar (hydrophobic) in nature,
while the mobile phase is a polar liquid, such as mixtures
of water and methanol or acetonitrile
It works on the principle of hydrophobic interactions hence
the more nonpolar the material is, the longer it will be
retained
May 29, 2017 10
11. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
3) Size-exclusion HPLC:
The column is filled with material having precisely
controlled pore sizes, and the particles are separated
according to its their molecular size
Larger molecules are rapidly washed through the column;
smaller molecules penetrate inside the porous of the
packing particles and elute later
May 29, 2017 11
12. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
4) Ion-Exchange HPLC:
The stationary phase has an ionically charged surface of
opposite charge to the sample ions
This technique is used almost exclusively with ionic or
ionizable samples
The stronger the charge on the sample, the stronger it will
be attracted to the ionic surface and thus, the longer it will
take to elute
The mobile phase is an aqueous buffer, where both pH and
ionic strength are used to control elution time
May 29, 2017 12
13. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
5) Based on the mobile phase gradient:
a) Isocratic:
Mobile phase solvent composition remains constant
with time
Often used in quality control applications that support
and are in close proximity to a manufacturing process
b) Gradient :
Mobile phase solvent (“B”) composition increases
with time
Linear gradients are most popular

Figure : Overall view of the HPLC
18. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
• Solvent reservoir: - It holds the solvent called mobile
phase which moves through the various parts of the
system
• Pump: - The role of the pump is to force a liquid
(called the mobile phase) through the liquid
chromatography at a specific flow rate, expressed in
milliliters per min (ml/min)
Normal flow rates in HPLC are in the 1to 2mL/min range
Typical pumps can reach pressures in the range of 6000-
9000 psi (400to 600bar)
May 29, 2017 18
19. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
During the chromatographic experiment, a pump can
deliver a constant mobile phase composition (isocratic) or
an increasing mobile phase composition (gradient)
• Sample injector: - The injector serves to introduce
the liquid sample into the flow stream of the mobile
phase
Typical sample volumes are 5-to 20-microliters (μL)
The injector must also be able to withstand the high
pressures of the liquid system
May 29, 2017 19
20. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
• HPLC column: - Considered the “heart of the
chromatograph” the column’s stationary phase
separates the sample components of interest using
various physical and chemical parameters
The small particles inside the column cause the high back
pressure at normal flow rates
The pump must push hard to move the mobile phase
through the column and this resistance causes a high
pressure within the chromatography
May 29, 2017 20
21. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
• Detector: - The detector can see (detect) the
individual molecules that come out (elute) from the
column
A detector serves to measure the amount of those
molecules so that we can quantitatively analyze the
sample components
The detector provides an output to a recorder or computer
that result in the liquid chromatogram (i.e., the graph of
the detector response)
May 29, 2017 21
22. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
• Computer and Chromatogram: -
Also called the data system, the computer not only
controls all the modules of the HPLC instrument but it
takes the signal from the detector and uses it to determine
the time of elution (retention time) of the sample
components (qualitative analysis) and the amount of
sample (quantitative analysis)
Acquisition software is installed in computer. This
software collects data from Detector and will draw a graph
(Called Chromatogram)

1) Injection of sample: -
It may be manual sample injector or the auto
sampler for the injection of the sample in the HPLC
Manual injector manually load the sample into the
injector using the syringe and then turns the handle
to inject sample into the flowing mobile phase

28. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
2) Measurement of retention time:-
The time taken for a particular compound to travel through
the column to the detector is known as its retention time
This time is measured from the time at which the sample is
injected to the point at which the display shows a
maximum peak height for that compound
Different compounds have different retention times. For a
particular compound, the retention time will vary
depending on:
The pressure used (because that affects the flow rate
of the solvent)
May 29, 2017 28
29. Pokhara University
School of Health and Allied Sciences
The nature of the stationary phase (not only what
material it is made of, but also particle size)
The exact composition of the solvent
The temperature of the column
That means that conditions have to be carefully controlled if
we are using retention times as a way of identifying
compounds.

3) Detection: -
There are many detection principles used to detect the
compounds eluting from an HPLC column
The most common are:
Spectroscopic detection ( UV absorption and
Mass spectroscopy)
Refractive index detection
Fluorescence detection

4) Interpreting the output from the detector: -
The output will be recorded as a series of peaks - each one
representing a compound in the mixture passing through
the detector
The output is shown as a graph of various peak in a
chromatogram
It looks like:

It is a mandatory tool in most of the labs involved in
research which include medical, biological, chemical,
biochemical, phytochemical (plant chemical research)
Components with similar chemistry and properties can be
easily distinguished

Difference between TLC and HPLC
May 29, 2017 INS 591: Presentation 48
TLC HPLC
Type of Analysis Qualitative Both qualitative and
quantitative
Instrumentation minimal Much with many
adjustable parameter
Stationary Phase 2- dimensional column 3-dimensional column
Sample Application spotting injection
Mobile Phase Movement Capillary action High pressure
Visualization of Result UV lightbox On-line detection
Form of Results Spots, retention factor Peaks, retention times

Additional Things
Theoretical Plate
– In many separation process there is a hypothetical zone or
stage in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor
phases of a substance, establish an equilibrium with each
other
– The theory assume that in the column chromatography
column is divided into the a number of zone called
theoretical plates
– Such equilibrium stages may also be referred to as
an equilibrium stage, ideal stage, or a theoretical tray

• The number of the theoretical plates in the column is
used as measure of the efficiency of the column to
separate the compounds
• The number of the theoretical plates can be
calculated by using the formula:
• Where, N= no of theoretical plate, tr =retention time
W= base width of the peak
•
