Abstract

The specialty of cardiothoracic surgery should be one of constant innovation. Albert Einstein was a man of vision who said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." With most technology expected to be obsolete in 5-7 years, thoracic surgeons need to draw from their imaginations to find innovative surgical solutions for the future.

Pharmaceutical and biomedical applications of enantioseparations using liquid chromatographic techniques.

The chiral separation methods using liquid chromatographic techniques can be divided into two categories: one is a direct method, which is based on a diastereomer formation on stationary phase or in mobile phase. The other is an indirect method, which is based on a diasteromer formation by reaction with a homochiral reagent. The enantiomer separation on a chiral stationary phases followed by derivatization with an achiral reagent is also dealt with this review article as the indirect method. The pharmaceutical and biomedical applications of enantioseparations using the direct and indirect methods have been considered in this review.

Selected fundamental aspects of chiral electromigration techniques and their application to pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis.

While capillary electrophoresis has been established as a major enantioseparation technique within the last decade, the potential of capillary electrochromatography is still studied extensively. This review summarizes recent applications of electromigration techniques with regard to the enantioseparation of chiral drugs. The first part discusses the general aspects of migration models and the enantiomer migration order. The application of capillary electrophoresis to chiral pharmaceutical analysis considers recent literature on: (1) chiral resolutions of non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers for the development of assays and the determination of the stereochemical purity of the drugs, (2) chiral separations of compounds in pharmaceutical formulations and products, and (3) enantioseparations of drugs in biological samples. A shorter section devoted to chiral electrochromatography discusses some fundamental aspects as well as the application to the chiral analysis of drugs including bioanalysis.

Medicare program; payments for new medical services and new technologies under the acute care hospital inpatient prospective payment system. Final rule.

This final rule establishes a mechanism for increased Medicare payments for new medical services and technologies furnished to Medicare beneficiaries under the acute care hospital inpatient prospective payment system. The rule implements section 533 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP [State Children's Health Insurance Program] Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000; and finalizes related regulatory provisions that were addressed in a proposed rule published in the Federal Register on May 4, 2001 (66 FR 22646).
