The Development of a Simple Liquid Chromatography‐Precursor Ion Scan‐Mass Spectrometry Screening Method for the Detection of Phytocannabinoids in Plant Extracts

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Screening of major cannabinoids in cannabis‐derived extracts is needed when these extracts are applied in pharmacological and biological studies. Precursor ion scan‐mass spectrometry (PIS‐MS) is a viable approach for the detection and screening of major cannabinoids through characteristic MS/MS fragmentation behavior.

Dietary Echinacea purpurea Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Alters Cytokine Gene Expression Among Heat‐Stressed Broiler Chickens at High Altitude

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Dietary Echinacea purpurea (0.75%) alleviated oxidative stress (↓NO, ↓MDA) and selectively upregulated IL‐10 and IFN‐γ expression in heat‐stressed broilers at high altitude, shifting the cytokine balance toward an anti‐inflammatory state without affecting telomere length.

Weighted prevalence of biochemically verified substance use in healthy adolescents across the USA

Addiction, Volume 121, Issue 11, Page 3129-3139, November 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Adolescent substance use is a significant public health concern, though the scope of the problem is difficult to ascertain given reliance on self‐reported substance use information.
