Determination of Tramadol in human plasma by HPLC with fluorescence detection [PDF]
Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic, atypical opioid, and although it is generally considered as a medicinal drug with a low potential for dependence, there is growing evidence of tramadol abuse in some countries.

Evaluation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using analytical methods, toxicology, and risk assessment research: seafood safety after a petroleum spill as an example. [PDF]
BackgroundPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are abundant and widespread environmental chemicals. They are produced naturally and through man-made processes, and they are common in organic media, including petroleum.

Failure of Optimal Design Theory? A Case Study in Toxicology Using Sequential Robust Optimal Design Framework [PDF]
This paper presents a quasi-sequential optimal design framework for toxicology experiments, specifically applied to sea urchin embryos. The authors propose a novel approach combining robust optimal design with adaptive, stage-based testing to improve efficiency in toxicological studies, particularly where traditional uniform designs fall short.

Efficacy of a two bag acetylcysteine regimen to treat paracetamol overdose (2NAC study)
Background: Previous studies of paracetamol overdose treatment show that a 2-bag, 20-h intravenous (IV) acetylcysteine regimen decreased the incidence of non-allergic anaphylactic reactions compared to the 3-bag, 21 h IV regimen, but have not examined ...

Data Poisoning against Differentially-Private Learners: Attacks and Defenses [PDF]
Data poisoning attacks aim to manipulate the model produced by a learning algorithm by adversarially modifying the training set. We consider differential privacy as a defensive measure against this type of attack. We show that such learners are resistant to data poisoning attacks when the adversary is only able to poison a small number of items ...

A Systematic Review of Poisoning Attacks Against Large Language Models [PDF]
With the widespread availability of pretrained Large Language Models (LLMs) and their training datasets, concerns about the security risks associated with their usage has increased significantly. One of these security risks is the threat of LLM poisoning attacks where an attacker modifies some part of the LLM training process to cause the LLM to behave

Some results for poisoning in a catalytic model [PDF]
We obtain new results concerning poisoning/nonpoisoning in a catalytic model which has previously been introduced and studied. We show that poisoning can occur even when the arrival rate of one gas is smaller than the sum of the arrival rates of the other gases, and that poisoning does not occur when all gases have equal arrival rates.
